Episode 148: Orb Lore
🕑 Added 2021-02-19 00:47:46 +0000 UTChello hurtwood patrons! we didn't have time to record two episodes today--things are still busy after last week's snow day. But I have good news: tomorrow's early episode is available... right now!
Deathly Hallows chapter 35. We had an extra week to let this chapter sink in, but did it help? We try to parse the Matrix Revolutions chapter where Harry talks to a Dumbledore ghost inside his head who claims that this is all happening in Harry's imagination yet offers him and the audience a bunch of extremely literal answers with new information, and that's not even the weirdest part of this whole thing! We theorize what this could possibly be trying to say, what actually matters in the New Lore, what answers are missing, and whether or not we'd help a flayed monster creature lying on the ground. Finally, we return to the world of Imagines, and compete in an impromptu guessing game.

Was looking forward for you guys to do this one because I remember it being extremely bewildering to read as a kid. Also in hindsight I’ve been imagining the baby as the pt baby

So I just realized something, if the soul is super duper important in harry potter. Why are dementors not considered the most evil things in harry potter since they take the souls of people? It's never stated what happens to the soul afterwords, if they just keep it or if it goes off to the after life or if the soul is "digested." I know a lot was said about patroises had all meaning taken out of them but dementors also had their meaning changed.
