Thirteen years hiding in plain sight. A friendship shattered beyond repair. A betrayal so bold it rewrote the entire course of the wizarding war.

In this episode of Critical Magic Theory, we’re scurrying deep into the shadows of the Marauders’ messiest member. Was Peter just a coward—or was he a master strategist in rodent’s clothing? We’re talking betrayal, survival, fear-fueled loyalty, and what happens when your desire to matter eclipses your sense of morality.

Your support means the world—and helps keep this community curious, thoughtful, and full of just the right amount of chaos.
As always, my friends— Be critical. Stay magical.
