Ep. 71 - A Patronus Chorus - (Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban)

We return with the third book. In this episode, we are pleased to be joined by our friend Alex Wan as a guest. Alex is one of three cohosts (along with Luke and Billie, whom you can hear on episode 62) of the Nothing to Fear podcast. Alex joins us remotely to talk about the third Harry Potter novel The Prisoner of Azkaban (the darkest entry yet!).

In this episode we hit many topics including:

-Exposure to the bigger world as a crucial component of the heroes journey

- Being 13

- The elites getting their way when butthurt

- Sirius as being motivated by revenge (similar to Edmond Dantes) but changing his feelings to care when he is in Harry's presence - Harry as inspiration because of a harder path

- The Jesus archetype 

- How you view people from your past

- The insufferability of being under the thumb of someone not worthy of you

- Respecting children by negotiating with them - earning being right

- Being an agent in your own life

- The importance of educators treating kids well and maintaining a high level of work

- The sadness of holding things against people they can't control

- Parents and voters standing up against administrations and bureaucracies

- Soul sucking vs. soul protecting

- Acting well because you can't predict all the effects
