Glamour: The Slug Club (Book 6, Chapter 7)

September 12, 2019 00:45:55

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of glamour in chapter seven of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This week we discuss Draco’s violence, Harry’s relationship with Neville and Luna, and how the members of the Slug Club are treated. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do we embrace moments of glamour without objectifying ourselves?

Thanks to Hongyue Guo for this week’s voicemail! Next week we’re reading chapter eight, Snape Victorious, through the theme of Anxiety.
