Woo hoo it’s PotterCast time and it hasn’t even been six months! This week, we are talking about what a TV series starring Arthur and Molly would look like, and pondering what you would or should do if you were to wake up as 11 year-old Harry with all seven books’ knowledge in your head.

The internet went crazy today when a rumor seemed to break through about the always-destined Harry Potter television show — specifically that while no series is actually in the works, WB is now officially shopping for writers and pitches for an HBO Max event. We did a quick-and-dirty reaction pod with our three hosts and our good friend Proma Khosla, a longtime LeakyCon staffer and Mashable entertainment reporter, to break down the news, what it means for the franchise, and what the fandom does now.  Basically, we decided the fandom just needs to get a trillion dollars together and buy th ..read more

When your 2020 wrapped congratulates you on all four episodes of content you produced this year, it must be PotterCast! Welcome to season 16, in which we are, we swear, on the edge of actually producing this thing at a normal clip. See how it’s going to start to work in this episode in which we introduce a few new segments — a bit of opening chatter (including an IN-Depp conversation as Frankie puts it) with your gang, then two new segments: POTTER PONDERINGS (in this episode, we wonder what it takes to make a Hufflepuff go dark) and HEY NETFLIX (in which we pitch spinoff shows about the Potte ..read more

“Welcome to our OOL. Notice there’s no P in it. Please keep it that way.” In this episode, Frak, John, and Melissa do what they had not yet done together as hosts and friends: discuss and unpack J.K. Rowling’s harmful rhetoric regarding transgender people. We strongly encourage you to listen to 15.2: Sorting It Out, the episode we released right after her tweet in December, for information and facts on why what she is doing is so difficult to parse.  Here is a link to the twitter thread we referenced debunking JKR’s statements: Since JK Rowling has blocked any reply to this litany o ..read more
