Head over to Platform 9 ¾ and board the Hogwarts express and join
the guys as they take their first trip into the Potterverse with

begin by touching on the author’s personal history leading up to
writing the novel as well as its storied publication. Take a
moment to revisit a warm and inviting series that has touched
millions around the globe.


Topics include: the hosts’ personal experience with the material,
JK Rowling’s activism, the hero’s journey story type, is Harry
Potter a Mary Sue, the guys share their own House allegiances,
the pedagogy of Hogwarts, and the anti-climactic ending.

Watson, Rupert Grint, Alan Rickman, and more! Just in time for
Fantastic Beasts the Crimes of Grindlewald.
