About this episode
This week, Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Fear in Chapter 26 of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! They discuss Harry and Dumbledore’s opposite experiences of the cave, fear of the unknown, and Voldemort’s obstacle course! Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do we decide which fears are valid?
Thank you to our anonymous listener for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 27, The Lightning-Struck Tower, through the theme of helplessness with special guest Daniel Schroeder.
