CW: Because of the plot of this chapter, Vanessa and Casper spend a lot of time talking about grief, death, and trauma. The chapter includes some suicidal ideation and Casper and Vanessa very briefly touch on that as well. 

Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Peace in chapter sixteen of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This week we discuss Harry’s visit to Lily and James’ graves, why Dumbledore is so frustrating, and the joy (and disappointment) of Christmas. Throughout the episode we consider the question: How can we define ‘peace’ outside of the context of war?

Thanks to Tristan for this week's voicemail! Next week Matt and Casper are reading Chapter 17, Bathilda’s Secret, through the theme of Faith.
