Tag: harry potter
Our discussion of Harry Potter continues in episode 52, covering books five through seven as well as the recently released “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.” Are the beasts truly fantastic? Did we forgive Snape and Malfoy? How do we feel about the future of the franchise?
In episode 51, we’re taking a look at a series that’s incredible formative for both of us—Harry Potter. This time, we’re discussing books and films one through four, figuring out what makes them so appealing to us, why we’re still interested, and how our views have changed since our first entry into the fandom.
