Description
Vanessa and Casper explore the theme of Earnestness in the much-dreaded chapter twenty-seven of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Please consider helping us fill our Gringotts vault so we can continue to make this show. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
