Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of mystery in chapter twenty-four of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This week we are joined by the brilliant Dr. Hannah McGregor, co-host of the podcast Witch, Please, who shares an opening story about her relationship with books. Casper and Vanessa discuss Dobby’s funeral, the secrets of wand lore, and the man who Harry has become over the course of these books. Throughout the episode we consider the question: What are eulogies for?

Thanks to Vanessa for this week’s voicemail! Next week we’re reading Chapter 25, Shell Cottage, through the theme of Doubt.
