Stubbornness: Draco’s Detour (Book 6, Chapter 6)

September 5, 2019 00:41:25

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of stubbornness in chapter six of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This week we discuss Draco’s need to be taken seriously, Molly’s fear for her children, and Ron’s eternal hope that he’s the same as Harry. Throughout the episode we consider the question: can there be ‘big’ stubbornness? Or is it always about small things?

Thanks to Kath for this week’s voicemail! Next week we’re reading chapter seven, The Slug Club, through the theme of Glamour.
