In this episode, we discuss some of the best story lines in Harry Potter. Enjoy!
Topics/Summary:
· 1:50 Horcruxes. Without these, we wouldn’t have some of the most important parts of the story, especially in the later books. Harry’s hunt for horcruxes and his task of destroying Voldemort go hand in hand and are the two things that he is bent of achieving. This was a story line that was set up farther towards the beginning of the story and gives us a call back to things like the diary when the whole thing is revealed.

· 14:28 Harry realizing that he is a wizard. This is a much shorter story line than horcruxes, but it is no less impactful. One of the reasons that I think it is so effective is it becomes better the more we read it. It had a huge importance for the story. Looking back after reading all the books and going back to that moment, we understand what it means all the more. From that moment, he embarks on a journey that will be filled with countless unforgettable moments.

· 18:24 Patronuses. This isn’t a story line exactly, but it allows us to see the storylines much clearer. A patronus is the purest form of a person: who they are and who they want to be. When we have moments like the casting of the doe in the Forest of Dean, the true nature of characters is revealed.

· 24:24 Snape. Snape’s arc is one of if not the best character arcs in the series. He is also a story line within himself. We have to work to understand him, and he dies still being somewhat of a mystery. He touched so many lives and made such a difference.
