Alexander Schmid Podcast

In this first conversation on J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince", Ms. Sarah Miller, Mr Wesley Schantz, and I discuss (a) the duality and unity between the muggle and magical worlds in the Harry Potter universe; (b) what the cost of choice is, and how that relates to time, blood, and mistakes in the past; and (c) we gave a very rich analysis of Rufus Scrimgeour and Horus Slughorn's differing characters and characteristics. Classical references to Homer's "Odyssey", Dante's "Inferno", and Milton"s "Paradise Lost" abound. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/alexander-schmid9/support
