Book 3, Episode 2 | Time Travel

Greetings, Witches!


As always, we're eternally grateful for the time you spend listening with us. In this episode, we're unpacking the mechanics of time and time-travel as they play out in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. We identify the connections between western time-travel narratives and the industrial revolution and the infinitely insidious force of capitalism. We plunge into the philosophical implications of this book's particular kind of time-travel narrative, which desires to predict the future and to change the past. How fixed is our reality? How much agency do we have over our fates?
