Alexander Schmid Podcast

In this discussion with Ms. Sarah Miller and Mr. Wes Schantz, we consider (a) the developing relationships in the text, their increasing complexity, and J.K. Rowling's and Harry Potter's (and even Albus Dumbledore's) increasing focus on them; (b) parallels and contrasts between Tom Riddle and Harry Potter's powers, natures, upbringings, and choices and even perspectives on personal responsibility; and ultimately (c) horcruxes, how they relate to tension between a desire for power vs. a desire for companionship, and the difference between Dumbledore's Army and the Death Eaters' perspectives on free-will and fate. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
