Harry Potter's heroism is contagious — in the best way and the most literal one. This episode tackles the back half of the Harry Potter survey, working through good half-blood, good Gryffindor, hero, and free will with listener data and a few new voices who snuck into the results. Along the way, the conversation turns into something bigger: why fans are quick to excuse Draco Malfoy's worst behavior as a product of his upbringing, quick to hold Ron Weasley fully accountable for his, and somehow never apply either lens to Harry, even though all three boys are the same age, shaped by the adults around them, and navigating circumstances more similar than the fandom likes to admit.Behind the Cloak Pre-OrderPatreon
