037 Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire

This episode has been archived. But never fear! You can still access all of our original episodes from our baby podcaster days on our Buy Me a Coffee Page. Just push the big gray button!

Julia and Victoria spend most of the episode discussing how problematic Rowling’s representation is of the House Elf justice movement, so it is a prime example of “the Harry Potter generation” becoming disillusioned with its author. This will be the last of the Harry Potter series for us as we move on to more worthy subjects.
