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...

- 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?
