Youth: The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore (Book 7, Chapter 18)

Casper and Vanessa explore the theme of Youth in chapter eighteen of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This week we discuss Dumbledore’s relationship with Grindelwald, Rita Skeeter’s offensive nicknames for people, and the parallels to the Holocaust in this chapter. Throughout the episode we consider the question: How do we allow people to change and also hold them accountable for their previous actions? 

 

Thanks to Anisa for this week's voicemail! Next week we’re be reading Chapter 19, The Silver Doe, through the theme of Courage.
