This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Knowledge in Chapter 17 of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince! They discuss Harry’s lesson with Dumbledore, early Slug Clubs, and Slughorn’s titular memory! Throughout the episode we consider the question: how do raw facts turn into knowledge?

Thank you to Simonefor this week’s voicemail! Next week we’re reading Chapter 18, Birthday Surprises, through the theme of Discovery with Casper ter Kuile.
