DH: Chapter 18 - The Life & Lies of Albus Dumbledore

from Harry Potter and the Reread Podcast · host David Janssen and Kyle Jahns

Harry is quite despondent. No Ron. No sword. And now, no wand. It is becoming clearer in his mind that Dumbledore has essentially sent him on a wild goose chase with little information. Hosts David and Kyle discuss how his minset impacts his view of Dumbledore after reading some "scandalous" details from Rita's book: The Life and Lies of Albus Dumbledore. We learn more about his past, his connection to Grindelwald and what speaks more: Dumbledore's actions? Or his words?
