Summary
This week, Vanessa and Jackson Bird explore the theme of Possibility in Chapter Eighteen of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss the Room of Requirement, Dobby's newly free life, and Umbridge's stifling oversight. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do we discern what kinds of change are possible in our current stage of life?
Thank you to Serena for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're looking at the entire series through the theme of Intellectual Humility.
