You asked for another vegan wizarding world episode...we provideth another vegan wizarding world episode! In our third-part episode of the discussion of animal rights in the magical world (for Part 1 and 2 click here, then here), Evy, Tylor, Robbie and Momo converge once again to discuss our two favourite things; veganism and Harry Potter, and to explore the habits and customs of wizards and witches through the lens of animal rights. We talk about the ethical concerns a vegan might have in Transfiguration, the problematic role of owls in wizarding society, and later on subject ourselves to an immensely challenging Harry Potter trivia quiz. Also on this episode...

  • Robbie, Evy and Tylor admit to underestimating Hufflepuff vegans and Momo is here to share what kind of vegan activists the ‘puffs are!
  • Is Care of Magical Creatures an ethical subject of study?
  • When you transfigure an inanimate object into an animal, is it sentient?
  • Is Transfiguration the solution to creating lab grown meat in the wizarding world?
  • Are wizards managing muggles the same way they manage magical beasts?!
  • Horse-drawn carriages vs thestral-drawn carriages; are they equally cruel and could there be an ethical alternative?
  • Are owls the domesticated animals of the wizarding world?
  • Does the wizarding world’s abstention from technology make them more dependent on the exploitation of animals?
  • Is Newt Scamander a good example of an animal rights activist?
  • Would Newt be vegan?
  • Is the newtcase a sanctuary or a zoo?
  • We discuss parallels between the Circus Arcanus and non magical animals in entertainment.
  • Is demiguise fur the wizarding equivalent of silk?
  • Would invisibility cloaks be banned in a vegan wizarding world?
  • Tylor has a solution for creating vegan invisibility cloaks!
  • Tylor poses the highly controversial question: ‘Should pygmy puffs exist?’
  • Play along with our extremely difficult Harry Potter trivia quiz!
