Summary
This week, Matt and Vanessa are joined by special guest Casper ter Kuile as they explore the theme of Legacy in Chapter Twenty-Seven of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire! They discuss Mr. Crouch's parenting, Sirius's relationship to house elves, and Rita Skeeter's hard hitting journalism. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how is a legacy passed on, and how much of that is out of our control?
Thank you to our anonymous listener for their voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter Twenty-Eight, The Madness of Mr. Crouch, through the theme of Silence.
