Summary

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of mystery in chapter twenty-four of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This week we are joined by the brilliant Dr. Hannah McGregor, co-host of the podcast Witch, Please, who shares an opening story about her relationship with books. Casper and Vanessa discuss Dobby’s funeral, the secrets of wand lore, and the man who Harry has become over the course of these books. Throughout the episode we consider the question: What are eulogies for?

Thanks to Vanessa for this week’s voicemail! Next week we’re reading Chapter 25, Shell Cottage, through the theme of Doubt.

It’s two sickles to join S.P.E.W., and only two dollars to join our Patreon for extra bloopers every week! Please consider helping us fill our Gringotts vault so we can continue to make this show.
