Reaction Post: Harry Potter and the Sacred Text: Recklessness: Birthday Surprises (Bk 6, Ch 18)

[dreamwriteremmy]

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Recklessness in chapter eighteen of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. This week Casper and Vanessa discuss Casper’s experience in graduate school, Harry’s privilege in Potion’s class, and the three ‘D’s of apparition. Throughout the episode we consider the question: Is recklessness in the eye of the beholder? Next week we’re reading chapter nineteen, Elf Tails, through the theme of Harmony.

Listen, discuss.
