You asked for another vegan wizarding world episode...we provideth another vegan wizarding world episode! In our third-part episode of the discussion of animal rights in the magical world (for Part 1 and 2 click here, then here), Evy, Tylor, Robbie and Momo converge once again to discuss our two favourite things; veganism and Harry Potter, and to explore the habits and customs of wizards and witches through the lens of animal rights. We talk about the ethical concerns a vegan might have in Transfiguration, the problematic role of owls in wizarding society, and later on subject ourselves to an immensely challenging Harry Potter trivia quiz. Also on this episode...

Are wizards managing muggles the same way they manage magical beasts?!
Horse-drawn carriages vs thestral-drawn carriages; are they equally cruel and could there be an ethical alternative?
Are owls the domesticated animals of the wizarding world?
Does the wizarding world’s abstention from technology make them more dependent on the exploitation of animals?
Is Newt Scamander a good example of an animal rights activist?
Would Newt be vegan?
Is the newtcase a sanctuary or a zoo?
We discuss parallels between the Circus Arcanus and non magical animals in entertainment.
Is demiguise fur the wizarding equivalent of silk?
Would invisibility cloaks be banned in a vegan wizarding world?
