Welcome to the first Footnotes episode of Ravenclaw Readers! We're taking a bit of a break over the festive season, so we sat down for a casual conversation to discuss the idea of "canon".

We do come to some sort of a conclusion, but perhaps it is a bit of a "cop-out". This is an ever-evolving topic - so we'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject!…
