Footnotes
Another sparse week for footnotes, other than more about Peter Pettigrew, whose identity we discovered last week (although to be avoided if you’re not keen on spoilers, it looks like). This is good about the topic of transition in film — particularly in teen film — which we touched on with our discussions of adolescence.
