Blame: The Sorting Hat's New Song (Book 5, Chapter 11)

This week, Vanessa and Matt explore the theme of Blame in Chapter Eleven of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix! They discuss the titular song, the wisdom of Neville's Gram, and Hagrid's flawlessness. Throughout the episode we consider the question: how can we appropriately and responsibly shoulder blame?


Thank you to Ava for this week’s voicemail! Next week we're reading Chapter 12, Professor Umbridge, through the theme of Context with our dear pal Casper.
