Episode 21 – Harry Potter and the Non-Potterheads

In our 21st [and slightly supersized] episode, Julia transforms into a History of Magic professor and attempts to summarize the seven HP books for our listeners […and podcast co-hosts…] who have never read the series. If you have a HP tattoo or a daughter named Hermione, you can probably just skip ahead to the quiz portion at 1:13:15.  Later, enjoy a quiz called “Ordinary Wizarding Levels (O.W.L.s).”
