  • Did Harry Truly Want To Die?

    Truly Terrific Podcast!! I just caught up after listening nonstop between work breaks for the past 6 months. Heyyy Brotherrr. Question!! Since we’re at the tail end of the Order of the Phoenix, I have a little query for you. I know that you subscribe to the Ginny is the master of Harry’s want theory, but what if the true reason was because Harry didn’t want to fight anymore and the wand was reacting to his state of mind? Just food for thought. Love the podcast, keep up the good work!!

  • Animagus forms

    HEY BROTHER!! I love this podcast so much! It is amazing to listen to while Im cleaning. I don’t really know anyone who likes Harry Potter as much as me, so listening to you talk about it is AMAZING. My question is : what do you think that the silver trio (Ginny, Luna, and Neville’s ) Animagus forms would be? I think Luna would probably be a thestral. I know most of the time it follows your patronus, but I feel like a thestral fits her better. She is often seen as weird but when you get to know... more

  • HP Theory

    Hey brotherrrrrrrrr! I love your podcast and show, great for walking to school. My question for you is: what would’ve happened if the baby Voldemort at the beginning of GOF took polyjuice potion? Would it work and he would just be able to turn into someone else, like Berta Jorkins, or would it backfire on him (like any other Voldemort plan 😊). Love to hear your thoughts. Also I’m going to see Through the Griffin Tour for my 12th birthday!

  • Potter/Dumbledore House

    Hey Brother! I love your podcast, especially the insights and theories about Harry Potter. I’m impressed that you’re still uncovering new ones.

    That got me thinking about other hidden mysteries. My theory is this: what if the Potters’ safe house wasn’t a separate house (I previously thought it belonged to James’s family), but actually the Dumbledore family home in Godric’s Hollow? Both locations are near Bathilda Bagshot’s house and share a similar feel—small cottages with gardens. Wouldn’t it ... more

  • Hello from Asia!

    Hey brothers! Long time listener here. I live in Asia and listen to your podcast on my way to work every Monday. Thought you would like that fun fact of your geography expansion :)

    My question-theory: what if Dumbledore didn’t hide the concept of prophecy from Harry and took him to the Ministry to destroy it? Since no one is patrolling the corridors. Albus knew the prophecy by heart and shattering the orb wouldn’t do much damage to the idea, but would have saved Sirius and this whole year of sl... more
