His hand closed automatically around the fake hawkrucks, but in spite of everything, in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and

And we are not letting, reanimated in fury get in the way of us row, row, rowing our boat out of book six on Harry Potter and the Sacred Text.

Casper, we have two announcements before we get started.

The first is our every flavored bean conversation, which you all can hear on Patreon.

One of the big lines in book six is,

so you are Dumbledore's man through and through.

And so Caspar and I are each going to share something that we are through and through,

something that someone could say to us,

you're this through and through.

And we'd be like, yeah, that's right, I am.

So if you want to hear that, you can sign up for

our Patreon at patreon.com slash Harry Potter's sacred text. And the second is we want to warn people

that for our last season, next season, we're soliciting a different kind of voicemail. We want to hear from people who are longtime listeners, the way that this podcast has impacted your life, the way that you have made friends.

We want to hear stories of local groups.

I want to be crying every week, wrapping up this over 10-year experience.

Vanessa, we always start our wrap-up conversations when we finish a book

by just going to like what impressions have emerged for us in this particular reading.

And so, like, when you think back to book six in this reading,

what are the key impressions that stand out for you?
