Podcast Question of the Week – Episode 22
Here’s the Question of the Week from our twenty-second episode analyzing Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban!:
We’ve talked a great deal about Professor Lupin on this episode, and we brought up the fact that rather little is known about his backstory. Lupin’s old briefcase seems potentially significant, in the scene where we first meet him, as it may mean that he has been teaching for a while now.
But do you believe Lupin had prior teaching experience before Hogwarts? Perhaps even in the Muggle World? In general, what qualifications does one need to teach at Hogwarts? Surely Dumbledore doesn’t just pick random witches and wizards off the street – or does he!?
Write your answers in the comments below and some will be selected and read on the next episode of Alohomora!
