Netherlandsa year ago - Wonderful
I have read the books 3 times and listened to the podcast/ audiobook 3 times. I am now on my 4th listen. It is simply amazing.
However, I cannot find episodes 2 and 3, are they missing?
Apple Podcasts5vfagcgijdfc llcxvGermany2 years ago - Third time listening to HPmor, certainly not my last
Third time listening to HPmor in the last 4 years. I enjoy it so much every time. I love to share it around me.
Such a good job was done! Love the narration and the voices.

Canada2 years ago - If you liked the book, youll love the audio version
Audio quality and voice acting is all pretty decent, characters voices all match their character (but not the voices from the movies so beware of that, draco sounds like the sleazy manipulator he is rather than the actor that plays him in the movies, and mcgonaggal is perfect ). Some people ive talked to have complained about the non character narrator voice being bland and monotone but i think it fits fairly well and i like it, the narrator isnt a character after all. but merlin damn the tracey... more

Australia3 years ago - Love HPMOR
I discovered HPMOR through Eneasz’s podcast and it kept me entertained through many a work day. The occasional foray into other works during the interludes was a nice plus, but you can always skip those if you’re not interested.

United States4 years ago Always worth listening to.
Podcast Addict54 years agoOld Windways- AMAZING!
I first read HPMOR manually after it was suggested to me by a coworker; however, every other time I’ve re-gone back to experience this story I’ve used this podcast. The voice acting is phenomenal and I love the supplemental music that accompanies the episodes. Beyond HPMOR; this podcast also has Metropolitan Man which is an amazing story in its own right. All this doesn’t even include the analysis episodes going over HPMOR, MM, and now worth a candle. These have all been very insightful and have... more

Apple Podcasts5Ju1979liaUnited States5 years ago - Great immersive storytelling
Interesting, thought provoking and full of plot twists involving science. What else could you ask for?
Apple Podcasts5LeuskatAustralia5 years ago - Draco Malfoy Rationality?
Why don’t you guys do Draco Malfoy and the Practice of Rationality?
105king I like that idea. I too am tired of having to scroll through a bunch of other episodes to find what I want
Apple Podcasts5Cubone&NatutrainerLannisterfanUnited States5 years ago - can we just have hpmor?
ok i’ll start off by saying that HPMOR is 6/5 stars it’s amazing and the audio is too. i’ve listened to the whole thing through several times over the past few years and every six months or so i relisten. but it’s so tough to scroll through the other stuff - could you release all of HPMOR in podcast form in some separate podcast so we can just listen through that?? thank you!!
Apple Podcasts41105kingUnited States5 years ago - Great job guys!
Love the podcast thanks for putting it into audio form. Would love to see you take a crack at White Squirrel’s The Arithmancer. It is as long if not longer than HPMOR and centers on Hermione and focuses on a love of math instead of her love of books. It’s just as in-depth on the mathematics as HPMOR is on rationality. Without spoiling too much if you haven’t read it I will say that it involves nanomachines, ritual math, radiology, the horrors of war, and an absolutely and expertly written fight ... more
