Summary
Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Guilt in Chapter Twelve of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! This week they discuss the intentions of the Sorting Hat, how having a sense of purpose can relieve us of feeling guilty, and Draco's passion for the news. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how are guilt (the feeling) and guilt (the fact) related?
Thank you to Justus for this week’s voicemail! Next week we’re reading Chapter 13, The Very Secret Diary, through the theme of Community.
