1 hr 4 min - 721: Baby Giggles, Politics, and The Deathly Hallows (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 21)This is it! The chapter with the same name as the book is here: The Deathly Hallows. Helene and Adri talk about how vivid this chapter is in their minds thanks to the Deathly Hallows film adaptation, chat about what they were doing over the Holiday break, and consider how blind faith intersects with imagery/iconography to make up the politics in this chapter. Also, did you know that Cadbury Creme egg season has officially begun? Yep, that's right, if you go to your local Target and check out the Valentine's Day aisle, you are likely to find a selection of Easter Candy (the best seasonal candy, in our humble opinion).

Now that we have that out of the way, this week we are still in Godric's Hollow but this time around we've got a snake to contend with (and, yes, we're not talking about Taylor Swift's Reputation Era --incidentally one of Adri's favorite Eras, since it's heavy on the revenge aspect). We're talking about how Nagini was encased within Bathilda Bagshot's body like some sick sausage of a joke.
We talk midterm elections in the United States, Aaron Carter's unfortunate passing, the politics of memorialization, the politics of home (and its ties to nationalist movements in the United States and in Europe), your responses to how you handle grief (you made us choke up!), and the media we've been consuming to get us through these busy days.

1 hr 50 min - 716: Why did no one think to take Harry to his parents' gravesite? (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 16)
Join Adri and Helene as they discuss the politics of Mourning and Vulnerability in Chapter 16 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We talk about how the Memorial in the cemetery works for both muggles and wizards alike, and we ask ourselves why Harry didn't make the trip before this book (other than for obvious plot reasons).

1 hr 26 min - 715: The One where Helene's Right to Dislike Ron (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Chapter 15)
Well, we're here: the chapter where Ronald Weasley just abandons Harry and Hermione because he had a tantrum and his pride got in the way of their friendship. While Adri talks about the politics of privilege (how you can be privileged in certain ways even as a minority group), Helene talks about the politics of trust (and how Ron betrayed that trust).
