Accio Politics


May 2, 2019

I'm joined by the lovely and witty Jessica from the 3 Spooked Girls podcast to talk about Chapter 21 of GoF through the lens of uncertain freedom. We talk about many wizarding world-related topics, including: What kinds of safety nets could be put in place for House Elves that have been freed? What can Hermione do better to make sure House Elves feel empowered? What parallels does this narrative have to the emancipation of slaves? Are house elves really happy, or is that just brainwashing at work? 
 
Here's the article I reference to center our discussion: Emancipation Evoked Mix of Emotions for Freed Slaves.
 
On a lighter note, we talk about how Jessica identifies with Neville, how if you don't have a Ron in your friend group you are definitely the Ron of your friend group, the Aunt Becky scandal and its parallels to the Malfoy family, and much more.
