Prof Responds: What's Missing from the Tale of Padma and Parvati Patil?

Description

In this Prof Responds episode, Professor Julian Wamble returns to Parvati and Padma Patil with the material the original episode didn't have time for, the full Weasley comparison, the backstory inventory, and the argument about Parvati's identity always being tethered to someone else's story. Drawing from the Patreon post-episode chat and Spotify comments, the episode moves through four themes: the twin logic the series never fully developed, Harry and Ron's accountability at the Yule Ball, what the films decided to do with Parvati's boggart, and what this community found that the episode missed entirely. The reflection closes the women of color arc with a question: what do we lose when we don't pay attention?
