Purpose: Xenophilius Lovegood (Book 7, Chapter 20)

This week, Vanessa and special guest Micaela Blei explore the theme of Purpose in Chapter 20 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! They discuss Xenophilius’s predicament, the search for Hallows, and Ron’s new sense of purpose! Throughout the episode we consider the question: what is underneath our conflicting senses of purpose?


Thank you to Millie for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 21, Malfoy Manor, through the theme of Resistance.
