Summary
This week, Vanessa and Casper are joined by special guest Elizabeth Rowe as they explore the theme of Success in Chapter 1 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! They discuss Snape’s evolving role as double agent, Voldemort’s measures of success, and the Deatheaters’ meeting! Throughout the episode we consider the question: how does the way we measure success change over the course of our life?
Thank you to Sara for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 2, In Memoriam, through the theme of Boundaries.
