Episode #67: Patterns in Potter, Book 1
Friday, February 1st, 2008In our first episode of Patterns in Potter for Book 1, we take a look at the circumstances of Harry’s childhood and how that shaped him into the young man we meet right before being plunged into the wizarding world. The rush of power, along with a less-than-clear message on the nature of right and wrong make up Harry’s first year at Hogwarts.
