Summary

Casper and Vanessa explore the theme of Loneliness in chapter twenty-seven of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This week we discuss Voldemort's relationship with Nagini, the freedom of the Gringott's dragon, and how to make friends in an isolating age. Throughout the episode we consider the question: What's the difference between loneliness and solitude?

Thanks to Rebecca for this week's voicemail! Next week we'll be reading Chapter 28, The Missing Mirror, through the theme of Fate.

If you can, please join us in donating to the Okra Project for Casper's birthday!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
