Summary

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Harmony in chapter nineteen of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This week Casper and Vanessa discuss the downfall of Cormac McLaggen, Luna’s sports commentary, and Harry’s sense of home. Throughout the episode we consider the question: when is it important to blend in vs. stand out?

Thanks to Becca for this week's voicemail! Next week we’re reading chapter twenty, Lord Voldemort’s Request, through the theme of Good Will.

Please consider supporting our Don’t Be A Dursley campaign. We’ll be raising money through Christmas for RAICES - an organization that helps immigrants and refugees struggling for rights in our country.

0:05.5	It is just going to be me and we are just going to be doing sacred reading practices on Sunday nights
0:11.3	with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone. We are going to meet for six weeks this summer on Sunday

1:41.6	off to a great outbreak of plague. So those were just some difficult times.
1:46.3	So it's some awkward years but I hear that London has rebuilt itself a bit. So much so that there's
1:53.2	a London local Harry Potter Sacred Text group. And this group more than anywhere else is so lucky
1:59.1	because there's so much Harry Potter landscape right on that doorstep. I hope they do some cool
2:03.7	meetups. So if you want to go to the London local group, it is a great thing to do while you're
