This is a mega-sized episode! Terrorist attacks at two mosques in New Zealand, J.K. Rowling speaks out about Dumbledore and Grindlewald's "intense" relationship, and exciting Hufflepuff news! I am joined by Lauren DeGraw, a wonderful Ravenclaw, from the Elixir of Life Podcast to talk about the politics of community in chapter 15 of GoF.

In dissecting what communities mean for us and in the series, we talk about religious communities, how leaving our respective religions (her: mormonism, me: catholicism) has affected how we view the concept of community, how each Wizarding school is its own pocket community in the Wizarding World, striving to be more like Harry and less like Ron, Hermione's love of books because they're her introduction to Wizarding community, and much more.
