  • Fantastic podcast and here it is

    Love these guys. The dynamic between the two of them is what keeps me coming back. I’ve been a HP fan since the 90s, so I’ve always been looking for a good place to listen to hot takes on the magical world. There’s no where else that does it like them on the internet. I’ll be a listener for life!

  • My Long Lost Brothers

    You guys know my brother in law, Cole. He gifted me your game for Christmas and I love it (though I have no one to play with.) Then I discovered you on socials and am now learning just how similar we are via the podcast. Latter-day Saint, ball-knowledge, Harry Potter canon defenders that have their own podcast? I only wish I could come on for a guest episode or use a time turner to have met while also at BYU to be a Lupin to your James and Sirius. Cheers, bros! May we one day meet in person.

  • Seriously

    I was just looking through the episodes and it seems like it would be great but the movies did not fall short of the books it made it better I just don’t agree on this.

  • The Pod Who Lived

    This Harry Potter podcast is the real deal, the hosts know their stuff and they love the source material. I’m super excited about their trivia game, I got my copy and my family loves it. Harry Potter is such an immersive series of books with so much awesome stuff to talk about and explore. Keep it coming!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Voldemort vs Darth Vader (And Other Harry Potter Questions)
Q: Who would win in a fight between Voldy and Darth Vader?
The hosts suggest a top-tier wizard can outmaneuver many non-wizard fighters in some conditions, but acknowledge that Jedi powers like precognition and lightsaber combat would pose serious challenges, ultimately leaning toward a Jedi advantage in a direct duel, with wands and magic offering different kinds of leverage.
