It’s Christmas time (in this chapter of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, at least)! We talk about the politics of optics and loyalty when it comes to the comings and goings in this chapter, specifically Harry’s run-in with Scrimgeour at the Burrow.

We also discuss our listeners’ unanimous answers to last week’s question: Should love potions be outlawed in the wizarding world? This week’s question is: What do you think the Ministry of Magic could have done to gain Harry’s trust?
