Geek Between the Lines

Ready for us to continue our conversation about defiance in Harry Potter? In Part II, we look at many amazing acts of defiance that aren't always recognized as such, discuss society being too buddy-buddy with the Ministry, and conclude that there's an easy way out for Brittany's oh-so-unbiased Missed Opportunity.

This week we look at the theme of Defiance in Harry Potter and have so much to talk about, we decided to make our very first 2-part episode! In Part I, we shockingly talk about Mr. Potter a whole lot and ponder why Voldemort didn't practice open defiance while at Hogwarts and before officially returning to the world. We also discuss so many things in Book 5 that we might as well have analyzed the whole book.

This week we look at Trust in the Star Wars movies and a bit of The Clone Wars (don't worry - we don't give away big spoilers). While we both find Luke Skywalker to be a bit gullible at times, we find his multi-triology character arch an interesting one. We also think about Kylo, look forward to The Rise of Skywalker, and ponder what it means to trust the Force and how much it overlaps with religious faith.

This week we discuss Belief in Harry Potter, analyzing the difference between Dumbledore believing in and trusting others, whether Harry could have trusted Snape if he knew the truth, and how the lack of a religious or spiritual belief system leaves out rich context from the lives of the magical world.
