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 – what we liked, what we didn't, and how it felt to return to Hogwarts.A QUICK NOTE: We talk about Cursed Child at a very high level for a few minutes, and then provide a clear warning when we delve into actual spoilers!Find us on Twitter at @potterpod, Tumblr at potterpod.tumblr.com, or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com.

 ‘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 episode? We also take a trip via the Floo Network to Flourish and Blotts by way of Knockturn Alley, find a creepy hand and a curious wardrobe* (*hold for later), and meet Mr. Lockheart in the flesh. And we talk with Fiona Chase, Vice Secretary (Second Class) of the North American Chapter of Gilderoy Lockheart's Fanclub.Find us on Twitter at @potterpod, Tumblr at potterpod.tumblr.com, or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com.

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, and what domestic chore they would rather perform with magic!Find us on Twitter at @potterpod, Tumblr at potterpod.tumblr.com, or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com.

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 one of the the most boring dinner parties in the world. Bijaya teaches Sarah and Michael a term that you did not ask for and probably did not want to know. Finally, tune in for a heated debate about the House-Elf Freedom Movement between a S.P.E.W. Representative and a Ministry of Magic employee.Find us on Twitter at @potterpod, Tumblr at potterpod.tumblr.com, or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com. Hosted on Acast.

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 adventure continues, the Quizzich Cup returns! Will Sarah be able to defend her title? Who will emerge victorious?

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 also learn just who Harry encounters trying to steal the sorcerer's stone, we have a run in with the Dark Lord, and we maybe eat some earwax. Oh, and we ask What's the Deal With Dumbledore's point system?

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 that they need to take matters into their own hands. What will become of them?!

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), but not to worry – Mars is bright. We also bring back Assorted Personalities…this time we sort some politicians, which proves to be as imprecise a process as political pandering itself.Find us on Twitter at @potterpod, Tumblr at potterpod.tumblr.com, or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com.

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 Cup, some theories on who or what might be in the Forbidden Corridor, and some real nuggets of alchemic wisdom.Find us on Twitter at @potterpod, Tumblr at potterpod.tumblr.com, or shoot us an email at potterpod@geeklyinc.com.
