Accio Politics

Join us as the trio venture into Diagon Alley for the first time since the ministry has openly admitted that Lord Voldemort is back. Helene and Adri discuss the politics of Public Security and the politics of Commodities as it relates to both the ministry's actions and how capitalism is alive and well, even in grim circumstances.

Harry gets to the Burrow earlier than scheduled and we get a glimpse into Arthur's dearest ambition and Molly's favorite nickname. Adri is joined by guest host Ann from the Speak Beasty podcast and they talk about the politics of tribalism and family, including why oh why Ginny Weasley loses her perpetual cool when it comes to Fleur joining the family.

Harry is off to the Burrow under Dumbledore's chaperonage, but before we pop in to see our favorite red-headed family, we've got a side quest to complete. Yes, you read that right, Dumbledore has one more trick up his sleeve (presumably the one with complete mobility): popping in to see a professor about leaving retirement. Helene and Adri talk about politics, as per usual, but there's one more important topic to discuss: why did Dumbledore had to say that he was headed to the bathroom?

Finally, a chapter with Harry in it! In between headlines and narrative paywalls (what did the rest of those articles say anyway?) Harry is snoozing away until Dumbledore appears in the Dursley's home, just as he promised he would. Perhaps it's the realization that Harry didn't quite trust Dumbledore to show up, or it's the weight of benign neglect, but Dumbledore manages to call out the Dursleys for their treatment of Harry and we, at Accio Politics, are here for it. We talk about the politics of legacy and advocacy, how paywalls were invented by the author, the narrator's consistent fat-phobia, and Dumbledore's iconic quotes in this chapter.

We're already on HBP (which is, incidentally, Helene's favorite book in the series). Helene and Adri talk about the politics of Foreign Affairs and Public Relations when it comes to the two ministers (one muggle, one wizard) and wonder about how we're supposed to feel about Dementors "breeding" (in a nutshell: not good).
