Adri is joined by special guest Laurie, the producer for the Potterversity podcast to discuss chapter 12 of Half Blood Prince. We talk about how this chapter intersects with the politics of suspicion and consent, including the imperiused Katie Bell and Hermione’s skepticism about the character of the Half Blood Prince. We also talk about the nature of the spells the Prince developed and Harry’s willingness to use them on students, even when he’s not dueling them.

 

We’re also featuring the best answers to our question of the week! This week, the question our listeners answered was the following: Hermione cheated to help Ron get into the quidditch team. In a similar situation, would you cheat to help one of your friends get something they wanted? Want to get your thoughts in for next week’s episode? Next week’s question is: Is casting a jinx on someone (outside of a duel) a violation of their bodily autonomy/consent? Why or why not?

 

Patrons get a bonus segment for this episode! This week, we’re talking about the Potter Family legacy and generational wealth. Would we see a male Rita Skeeter as more of a journalist than a gossip columnist? Want access to this bonus content and more?
