Episode 114: Dorecraft 2
🕑 Added 2020-05-22 14:00:06 +0000 UTCDeathly Hallows chapter 2. After checking in with Jo's deeply unpleasant transphobic behavior yet again, we tear into one of the most deathly (get it) boring chapters in the entire series. It consists of, mostly, two newspaper articles. Exciting! However, this leaves us plenty of room to chat about the slow death of symbolism in the series, the continuing clumsy attempts to turn a children's fantasy into a modern political allegory, who Harry thinks his dad is this week, haunted ebooks, and much much more!

when jrk wrote that the portraits can move in hp this is probably not what she meant π
i have a translated copy which is without any illustrations (not even the ones above the chapters rip) so i've seen that portrait for the first time and it really is uncanny. it looks like those pics that deliberately feel like getting a stroke or one of those optical illusion mind games, you cannot even comprehend it at first glance
since i'm unfortunate enough to have my copy of Deathly Hallows around still: yes, the Dorecraft 2 portrait is there. doesn't seem to be moving, thankfully
