Episode 341 – Grief/Trauma: Lily & James, Kicking It Early

What are the Harry Potter novels ultimately but an exploration of grief and trauma? Join hosts Aurelia, Grace, Tracy, and guest Chris, as they discuss the many examples of both in the series. Don’t worry, we get a few laughs in there as well.

On Episode 341 we discuss…

→ Dumbledore’s delicious quotes on death
→ How Petunia is, again, the worst
→ Snape (acceptance issues), Lupin (no self esteem), and Sirius (PTSD): trauma brothers
→ No one’s dead until there’s a body
→ The Headmaster could have been the best therapist
→ “What is grief, if not love persevering?”
