Harry Potter & The Chamber of Secrets feat. Hannah McGregor Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr

    • Books

In a freewheeling discussion that can't help but address J.K. Rowling's recent transphobic comments, we also tackle the need for critical fandom, as well as Chamber of Secrets’ fat phobia and obsession with blood purity. 
Also on the table: Why Gilderoy Lockhart is an obvious villain in the Rowling tradition and speculation about his real reason for joining Hogwart’s as the Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher.
Plus: how to define Easter Eggs (they're not synonymous with retconning!), how magic resembles close readings and  and why we should appreciate the film's set design - and Jason Isaacs - more.
Here is a brief (incomplete list) of trans and non-binary authors to support:
Ronnie Mandias: RuneboundSara Codair: The Evanstar ChroniclesEverett Maroon: The Unintentional Time TravelerApril Daniels: DreadnoughtAiden Thomas: Cemetery BoysKai Cheng Thom: Fierce FemmesIvan Coyote: Rebent SinnerMason Deaver: I Wish You All The BestFox Benwell: Kaleidoscope Song; and finallyThe Gayly Prophet PodcastAnd search #BlackTransLivesMatter #BlackTransCrowdfund #BlackDisabledLivesMatter hashtags and donate to CanadaHelps.org
