Erin and Adri discuss the politics of assigned identity in chapter 4 “The Keeper of Keys” of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling. They talk about what it means for someone to assign identities to people, the discovery that comes with recognizing who you are, and whether or not the messenger has the same importance as the message being delivered. They talk about Hagrid, the Dursleys, and how the wizarding and muggle world begin to differentiate themselves from each other, including our first impressions of Hagrid.
This episode’s voicemail comes from Paola Pérez. Episode 5 will discuss the politics of assimilation in chapter 5, “Diagon Alley,” of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J.K. Rowling.
