Yer A Wizard Harry: The Harry Potter Bookclub

This isn't a podcast, it's your one-touch ticket to Funtown! (Sorry for the nausea – portkey technology is a bit wonky.)This week, we meet Amos and Cedric Diggory (go Hufflepuff!), take a journey with an old boot and talk about maybe the most confounding form of wizard transport: the portkey. And with the Tri-Quizzard neck and neck – who do you think will win? Who do you want to win??Find us on Twitter at @potterpod or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com. Hosted on Acast.

Get your dueling table ready, listeners – this week we undermine Wizard-Muggle relations in the most delicious way possible. This week, we explore the wonderful (and probably very dangerous) world of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes and we ask a really hard-hitting question: Why are wizards so bad at dressing like muggles? As always, the battle for Tri-Quizzard glory continues!Find us on Twitter at @potterpod or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Take us hooomeee wizard roads to the Weasley's great aboooode – this week we head Back to the Burrow!The Tri-Quizzard tournament has us fatigued, but still fightin'. We also talk through an extremely long (ie. incredibly short) chapter in which there are dangerous candies very cavalierly distributed, and try to really nail down the physics of wizard housing.Find us on Twitter at @potterpod or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com.

DID YA PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET, DIDYA? DIDYA?!We're bbbaaaaaaaaaack. It's a new book and a new season over here at Yer a Wizard Headquarters.

Great Scott! Fire up your Delorean, hop in that TARDIS, or find a hot tub, because we are about to take a very linear path back to…just a few hours ago, apparently. This week, we uncover Hermione's Secret (and no, it's not an elaborate fantasy involving Dean Thomas, a Quick Quotes Quill, and the Forbidden Forest), and have a (shockingly!) civil discussion about time travel, its repercussions, and its place in the Harry Potter universe.The Quizzich Cup is looking very bleak – will we have a Golden Snitch moment, however impossible it is? It seems the only thing that could save our heroes is a Time Turner.  And hey – why not grab a shirt or a print at the GeeklyInc shop?Find us on Twitter at @potterpod or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com.
