On this chapter, the trio are now out of Gringotts and Harry has a glimpse into Voldemort’s thoughts. We talk about how this chapter compares to the iconic film scene, and also about how this chapter falls in the politics of communication and espionage. At the end of the episode, Adri briefly covers the Scandoval of it all.

This week, we go to Gringotts with the trio and talk about the politics of trauma and desperation. Can the multiplying and scorching treasure be a metaphor for trauma? Adri does her best to find a link. Is the dragon caged in the basement the personification of desperation? Find out as we discuss.

For some reason, we thought this chapter was going to be more action-packed than it actually ended up being. We blame the movie adaptation, which does a fantastic job of not making this an exciting action sequence.

In this episode, we talk about the intricacies of Goblin Culture: where do Goblins actually learn their version of history? Do they have a school to learn trade? Are Goblins as portrayed in the wizarding world anti-semitic tropes?

This is it! The chapter with the same name as the book is here: The Deathly Hallows. Helene and Adri talk about how vivid this chapter is in their minds thanks to the Deathly Hallows film adaptation, chat about what they were doing over the Holiday break, and consider how blind faith intersects with imagery/iconography to make up the politics in this chapter. Also, did you know that Cadbury Creme egg season has officially begun? Yep, that's right, if you go to your local Target and check out the Valentine's Day aisle, you are likely to find a selection of Easter Candy (the best seasonal candy, in our humble opinion).
