Summary
This week, Vanessa and Jackson Bird explore the theme of Risk in Chapter Six of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss Sirius's increasing restlessness, the risk associated with a volatile magical home, and Fred and George's private experimentation. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how should we decide which risks are worth it?
Thank you to Jane for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 7, The Ministry of Magic, through the theme of Visibility.
