Summary
This IS a Dean Thomas episode, and, if I do say so myself, it delivers. From his quiet refusal to jettison his Muggle identity in a world pressuring him to assimilate, to his year on the run without proof of his blood status, to the moment he walks into the Battle of Hogwarts, Dean Thomas is the character this series didn't give us enough of, and this episode makes the case for why that matters. With 246 listener responses, critical analysis of wand theory, identity, and magical belonging, this is the Dean Thomas episode he always deserved.
