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.

Integrity: Rita Skeeter’s Scoop (Book 4, Chapter 24)

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of “integrity” in chapter twenty-four of “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.” This week we discuss Professor Grubbly-Plank’s unicorn, Hagrid’s doom spiral, and Fleur’s disadvantage in the second task. Our question this week is: Are loyalty and integrity always in conflict?

Next week we’re reading chapter twenty-five, The Egg and the Eye, through the theme of preciousness. Thanks this week to Margot Zarin-Pass for our voicemail.
