## Resource

This episode is sponsored by Better Help – Go to BetterHelp.com/SUPER to get 10% off your first month. Today we’re diving into one of the strangest and most overlooked mysteries in the wizarding world: Thestrals. We all know the rule—only those who have witnessed and comprehended death can see them. But when you start digging into the details… things get weird fast. Why couldn’t Harry see Thestrals at the end of Goblet of Fire? Does “understanding death” matter more than just seeing it? And most importantly… could you actually LOSE the ability to see them? From memory charms to ghosts to the mysterious Veil in the Department of Mysteries, today we’re exploring whether Thestral visibility is physical, mental… or something deeper. 🦆☕ Ducks go in cups.
