Finally, a chapter with Harry in it! In between headlines and narrative paywalls (what did the rest of those articles say anyway?) Harry is snoozing away until Dumbledore appears in the Dursley’s home, just as he promised he would. Perhaps it’s the realization that Harry didn’t quite trust Dumbledore to show up, or it’s the weight of benign neglect, but Dumbledore manages to call out the Dursleys for their treatment of Harry and we, at Accio Politics, are here for it. We talk about the politics of legacy and advocacy, how paywalls were invented by the author, the narrator’s consistent fat-phobia, and Dumbledore’s iconic quotes in this chapter.
