Description

This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Comparison in Chapter Five of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss the Molly's role as a caretaker for Harry, the Weasley twins' burgeoning business adventures, and Sirius's interesting approach to mentoring. Throughout the episode we consider the question: when can comparisons be useful, and when are they harmful?Thank you to Katie for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 6, The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, with Jackson Bird(!) through the theme of Risk.--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.

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.
