  • Wizarding World X Pokémon

    Hey Brother!! I have a head canon that Lily Evans traveled to the Pokémon world sometime during her years at Hogwarts. Let me start off by saying this is the best pod cast ever! Thank you Ben and J for what yall do. J, I know you’re a Pokemon fan so I hope you enjoy this one. In episode 32 of Master Quest, “Hocus Pokémon”, Ash, Misty and Brock meet a “magician” named Lily. Lily also has reddish hair and a British accent. If that’s not enough listen to this final point. At the end of the episode ... more

  • Amazing Podcast

    This is my favorite podcast. I’m slightly behind. I just finished Prisoner of Azkaban Chapter 21.

    I have a question related to the Marauders Map and time turners. You mentioned that Professor Lupin suspected that Harry, Ron, and Hermione might visit Hagrid before Buckbeak’s execution, so Lupin watched them on the map. However, there were actually two versions of Harry and Hermione at Hagrid’s Hut at the moment due to the time turner.

    Do you think Lupin could see both versions of Harry and Her... more

  • Love the show so much

    Heyyy I love listening to the show and you guys are truly the Harry Potter experts. I love hearing all of your theories on everything. I definitely agree that Krum is part veela.

    My question is about witches and wizards keeping magic a secret from non magic people. When Seamus is talking about his parents in book one he says that it was a shock when his dad found out that his mom was a witch. Does that mean that muggles who are married to magic people know about magic and how do people make su... more

  • “Binding Magical Contract”

    Heyyyy Brother!!!! Huge fan of the podcast. One thing that has always bothered me in the books is that when Harry is chosen to compete in the Tri Wizard Tournament he doesn’t ever say “I DONT WANT TO COMPETE”. Do you think it’s possible that the “binding magical contract” causes anyone that is selected to be compelled to compete? Harry obviously didn’t want to be forced into it even after being selected, but perhaps he doesn’t voice that opinion because of said contact? Might be grasping at stra... more
