Yer A Wizard Harry: The Harry Potter Bookclub

You! You following the spiders – are YOU the heir of Slytherin?! No? Well, we had to try because we are stumped as to who it could be. This week, we find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time, maybe sort of accidentally kill a cat? No. Petrify. We learn about polyjuice potion and …

Boo – scared ya! Not to worry; ’tis only us, your favorite people who discuss Harry Potter like our life depended on it (because it does). This week, Sarah almost remembers the rules of the Quizzich cup, we talk about Nearly Headless Nick’s deathday party and the food he served, and you think you know …

Good day, our beautiful and talented Muggleborns! We know that you earned your way into this podcast and your dad definitely didn’t bribe us to make this show just for you. This week, is there a turning tide in the Quizzich Cup? Will Michael lose his hold on first place? We also spend the week …

Good day, you precious pasties! Prepare yourselves to face the most dastardly creature of the wizarding world. This week we have our first class with Gilderoy Lockhart, we disuss Howler regulation and weaponized mandrakes, and we put another contentious round of the Quizzich Cup under our belts. Find us on Twitter at @potterpod, Tumblr at potterpod.tumblr.com, …

It’s a very exciting week here at Yer a Wizard: Not only do we get a crash course in violent trees, but we also get to talk about the JUST RELEASED Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. In addition to our normal chapter recap and Quizzich round, we talk generally about JK Rowling’s new Harry Potter play …

  ‘Ello our esteemed messers and misses – we are pleased to invite you to another evening (or morning or afternoon – we have no idea when you listen to this podcast) of magic and mystery. This week, as always, a contentious round of the Quizzich Cup – perhaps a more fruitful round than last …

Harry made it to a magical place where he can eat to his heart’s (and stomach’s) content and no one hates him, but get this – it’s not Hogwarts! Tune in to hear about the Weasleys’ humble abode, the ghoul in the attic, whether the hosts would rather eat a baby or an old person, …

Its only the 2nd episode of Season 2 and the Quizzich Cup competition is already heating up! Will Michael be able to fend off Bijaya and Sarah to keep his decisive lead of 1 point? We find out who is sitting on Harry’s bed while the Dursleys put on what can only be described as …

Do you hear that sound? That low distant rumbling? It’s your favorite trio (i.e. Michael, Bijaya, and Sarah) coming at you down the track on the Hogwarts Express! That’s right, folks. We are back with another season of Yer a Wizard, Harry, and we can’t wait to talk about The Chamber of Secrets! As our …

Alas, gentlewizards. This is it. The end of the road. We’re packing up our trunks and hopping on board the Hogwarts Express. (But just for now! We’ll be back next term!) This week, The Quizzich Cup has an exciting (double) conclusion – WHO WILL CLAIM VICTORY? WHO WILL GO HOME WITH THE COVETED QUIZZICH CUP? We …

Forget Voldemort – it’s finals time at Hogwarts. Truly terrifying. (But also the Dark Lord is like, right there ohmygod.) As our fearless(ful) friends near the end of their first year at Hogwarts, we near the end of our first adventure, Potterpodists. Things are getting pretty intense – Voldemort is close, Dumbledore is M.I.A., and the golden trio decides …

Throw on your cloaks and hold onto your butts – we’re headed into the Forbidden Forest. You know. The place where no one should ever, ever go. Except, of course, if you are an eleven-year-old who needs to be punished for an insignificant infraction. Something is murdering unicorns and we are very concerned (maybe too much), …

Some words of wisdom to our friends, our enemies: Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus. If that seems like it’s too hard to follow, may you enjoy your extreme (brief) Ride or Die Lifestyle. This week, we meet Norbert! Who is adorable! And probably poisonous! And definitely illegal! We also ask What’s the Deal With Wizard Television, and we …

We ain’t saying he’s a gold digger, but there is a very good chance that Albus Dumbledore is in possession of a very magical, very profitable object. What could it be?? (Spoiler alert: read the title of the book.) Tune in this week to hear an unprecedented (dare we say dramatic??) round of the Quizzich …

Expelliarmus! Drop what you’re doing (because we just disarmed you) and listen to your favorite Harry Potter podcast right now. This week, IT’S CHRISTMAS. Snow! Trees! Treacle tart! After celebrating the fact that we will be at Hogwarts with Ron and without Malfoy for the entire break, we contemplate wizard amendments, murder by book, and the …

Hey, there! Yes you! Have you gotten your daily recommended dose of Harry Potter? Probably not, but don’t worry. We have 1000mg of Pure Wizard Magic for you. This week we delve back into Quidditch (with an actual game!), get worked up about the realities of jelly jars and fire, and decide to sort some …

Boo! It may be spring in the Northern Hemisphere, but it’s Halloween here in the Yer-a-Wizardsphere. We begin this week as we always do – with the Quizzich Cup which is neck in neck! (It’s anyone’s game at this point, folks.) We also discuss just what could be in that long, thin package with the …

Rev your broomsticks, gentlepeople. It’s time for another rousing episode of This Old HP Podcast. Holy chimera! We are over halfway through the Quizzich Cup! Also this week: Michael tells us why the Remembrall is the greatest invention in wizard creation, we question the decision making abilities of Madame Hooch, and we have yet another deeply, deeply …

Ahoy, ahoy, witches and wizards! Spring has sprung and it’s time to head to double potions with your favorite podcast. This week we get to Better Know a Slytherin (a new segment!), hear Bijaya’s wonderful Snape/Alan Rickman impression, and we ask the question, “Is Voldemort’s face the smelliest?” Oh, and big changes in our coverage …

This is probably where we should sing you a clever tune about how we welcome you to our podcast, but, unlike the Sorting Hat, not all of us have literally 364 days to write a two minute song. That said, we’re pretty darn excited for this week: We continue Quizzitching each other, talk about ghosts and, …
