About this listen
In this "Prof Responses" episode, Professor Julian Wamble returns to unpack the post-episode chats on two very different figures: Minerva McGonagall and Quirinus Quirrell.
Was McGonagall really written as a maternal figure—or have we reimagined her to reflect a world Rowling couldn’t envision? And what do we do with Quirrell, a Ravenclaw who might’ve been smart enough to find Voldemort but foolish enough to wear him like a backpack?
From challenging the “mom or mess” dichotomy to breaking down the blurry lines between agency and possession, this episode dives into how fandom, canon, and cultural context shape the way we read these characters. And yes, favoritism, ambition, and the overconfidence of mediocre white men all make an appearance.
As always, stay critical while keeping it magical!
