Reaction Post: HP & The Sacred Text: Concealment: The Department of Mysteries (Bk 5, Ch 34)

[dreamwriteremmy]

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Concealment in chapter thirty-four of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. This week we discuss Ron’s dumb comment about the prophecy, whether Harry is fooling himself about Sirius, and the physical landscape of The Department of Mysteries. Throughout the episode we consider the question: If you could know when you die, would you want to? Next week we’ll be reading chapter thirty-five, Beyond the Veil, through the theme of Home.

Listen, discuss.
