ProtegoCast Episode 1: Hermione Granger

May 12, 2020

Welcome, witches, wizards, and magical folk, to the first episode of ProtegoCast!

In this episode, Tylor, Jordan, and Emma speak about the brightest witch of her age, Hermione Granger, and her role in defending magical creatures. We are joined by The Protego Foundation’s close friend - and campaign partner - Christina Maki Linville, CEO and Founder of Accio! Box, the world’s first fully vegan Wizarding World subscription box!

Christina joins us to speak about her animal rights journey, the creation of Accio! Box and Tylor’s hand in the box turning fully vegan, and Accio! Box’s role in The Protego Foundation’s ‘Find Dougal’ campaign. Christina is a huge fan of Harry Potter, of course, and you’ll want to stay tuned as we move into a discussion on what we can learn from Hermione Granger as an activist, how S.P.E.W could have been better, and what it means to be an activist!

Also in this episode:

Was Hermione exposed to injustice as a young girl? Did this motivate her interest in welfare and activism?
How does Hermione’s status as a mudblood feed into her activism?
What IS the Magical Menagerie? Is it a wizarding pet shop? Or a rescue?
Where is Crookshanks from? Where did Crookshanks end up? What do we know about the bond between Hermione and Crookshanks?
Is S.P.E.W. misguided? How can we learn more about intersectional justice and being a good ally to marginalized groups?
What other examples do we have of Hermione sticking up for magical creatures and fellow magical beings?
What was Hermione’s role in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures department at the Ministry of Magic?
Is Hermione Jean Granger vegan now?

See you next week for another episode exploring another topic delving into animal rights in the wizarding world, and in the meantime, be sure to send us your thoughts, leave a review, and - on behalf of all magical creatures - Protego Maxima!
