The Significance of Names in Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings Hello from Elsewhere: Exploring Pop Culture

Broadcasting from Tom Riddle's diary, Valerie and Casey explore the symbolism and meaning of names in both the Harry Potter series and The Lord of the Rings, from the alliterative founders of Hogwarts to the dozens of names for Gandalf. Plus, we discuss Sauron's connection to The Music Man and Dumbledore's existence in Middle-earth (really!). Become an official Human of Elsewhere by visiting www.patreon.com/hellofromelsewhere .
