In this jam-packed chapter, Harry discovers what those winged horses he can now see are called and the reason why he can see them while others can't, he kisses Cho, gets some emotional intelligence intel from Hermione, and he has a terrifying dream from the point of view of an actual snake. We talk about the nuances of the politics of privilege and perspective, one being about what others cannot see and quantify as a solid entity, and the other being rooted firmly in one person's point of view.

This time, we're talking about the implications of Gilderoy Lockhart if he had been written as a woman, how seriously she would have been taken, and if Arthur and Lucius would have been brawling to impress her at Flourish and Blotts, among other high-minded concerns.
