Reaction Post: HP & The Sacred Text: Redemption: Out of the Fire (Bk 5, Ch 32)

[dreamwriteremmy]

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Redemption in chapter thirty-two of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This week we look at a few characters and their possible arcs of redemption: Dolores Umbridge, Severus Snape, Kreacher, and Ron Weasley. Throughout the episode we consider the question: Do we feel comfortable saying that certain people are irredeemable? Next week we’ll be reading chapter thirty-three, Fight and Flight, through the theme of Inheritance.

Listen, discuss.
