Harry Potter and the Sacred Text

It’s the English class you didn't know you missed and the meaningful conversations you didn't know you craved. Join Vanessa Zoltan and Casper ter Kuile as they bring thought, reflection and laughter to Harry Potter; not just as novels, but as instructive and inspirational texts that will teach us about our own lives. Relive the magic chapter by chapter as they explore themes such as commitment, revenge and forgiveness. This podcast creates time in your week to think about life’s big questions. Because reading fiction doesn’t just help us escape the world, it helps us live in it.

Knowledge: The Deathly Hallows (Book 7, Chapter 22)

Casper and Vanessa explore the theme of Knowledge in chapter twenty-two of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This week we discuss Ron’s new-found maturity, Harry’s newest obsession, and why Hermione doesn’t believe in the Hallows. Throughout the episode we consider the question:how do we move from knowledge to belief?

Thanks to Vickela for this week’s voicemail! Next week we’ll be doing an Owl Post episode with Jolie Doggett where we discuss beauty and representation in Book 7.
