15. Harry Potter & the Victory of God w/ Maggie Craig

Written By Mike Tenney

Expecto Patronum, muggles! Catholic speaker, YouTuber, & HP superfan Maggie Craig joins us to wax theological on the Boy Who Lived. We go deep in this episode and cover a swath of themes from the books and the Christian faith including:

- Should Christians read Harry Potter?
- Are the Weasleys Catholic?
- Is Harry a Christ figure?
- What did Jesus’ death really do?
- Love vs. Passion
- Does your calling choose you or the other way around?
- Does suffering have value? Is it necessary for holiness?
- The power of naming evil
- What is it to be truly alive?
- Bullying and how to protect children
- Hogwarts houses as religious orders
. . . and more!

And if you know what book the title of this episode is referencing, be the first to put the correct answer in the comments for 15 points to your Hogwarts house ;)
