    Really cool Podcast, i‘m swiss and I understand it really well. So it‘s really really good even for people that aren’t English. And in swiss people can drink wine and beer and stuff like that at 16 years and more hard alcohol at 18 years

  • Not for me at all

    I liked the premise of the Podcast but it just isn‘t my type at all. I feel like the so-called experts on Harry Potter are no experts at all and even say they didnt read the books for years and sometimes actively dislike the series. They also don‘t catch any mistakes and they deal way to lightly with deeper themes.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 213 - Durmstrang & the Other Wizarding Schools w/ Stanislav Yanevski AKA Viktor Krum!
Q: What do you think Krum also had to row the ship or do you think he got enough special treatment?
I have this picture of Krum just enjoying the sun and not having to row, like keeping his strength for the tournament.
Ep. 213 - Durmstrang & the Other Wizarding Schools w/ Stanislav Yanevski AKA Viktor Krum!
Q: What are your just general thoughts on Durmstrang?
I think it's the best wizarding school of all. It's definitely got some powerful wizards that have come out from Durmstrang. Very free, dark arts are all allowed.
Ep. 207 - McGonagall/Percy Weasley Trading Places w/ Chris Rankin & Chanel Williams
Q: What would it be like if Percy Weasley went with Dumbledore to drop off Harry on Privet Drive?
I feel like he'd be worried that they're out in the Muggle world.
Ep. 207 - McGonagall/Percy Weasley Trading Places w/ Chris Rankin & Chanel Williams
Q: How would it be if McGonagall was along the ride for the Weasleys just running through a pretend brick wall?
Minerva's pretty well-versed at platform nine and three quarters.
Ep. 208 - What's the Funniest Moment in the Harry Potter Books? w/ Johnny Frohlichstein (LIVE in St. Louis!)
Q: What alcoholic drink would each of the main squad be and why?
Harry would be a Moscow mule, Hermione a mojito, Ron straight fireball, and Ginny a fun cocktail.
