Summary

This week, Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Failure in Chapter 22 of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! They discuss Harry’s lucky day, Ron’s apparition test, and Ernie’s potion! Throughout the episode we consider the question: when are success and failure out of our control?

Thank you to Christine for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 23, Horcruxes, through the theme of Ambivalence with Matt Potts.
