Show notes

Professor Julian Wamble returns to the Half-Blood Showdown listener mailbag to dig into three of the community's sharpest debates: whether Dolores Umbridge outranking Voldemort as the series' worst villain says more about misogyny than about her actions, whether Peter Pettigrew's placement in Gryffindor holds up under real scrutiny of what bravery and courage actually mean, and what it says about Hogwarts as an institution that it never teaches its students to think critically. Pulled straight from the Critical Magic Theory Patreon and Spotify comments, this episode is a masterclass in taking fandom seriously.
