Summary

Casper and Vanessa explore the theme of Time in chapter twenty-six of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This week we discuss how hard it must be for Hermione to look like Bellatrix, the dragon in the belly of Gringotts, and the many parallels in this chapter with the Triwizard Tournament. Throughout the episode we consider the question: What does it mean to ‘heal’ from trauma and is it possible?

Thanks to Jaxn for this week's voicemail! Next week we'll be reading Chapter 27, The Final Hiding Place, through the theme of Loneliness.

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.

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