Grab your wands and house scarf because we’re going to Hogwarts. We delve into the magical world of Harry Potter with our guest Mike Schubert from Potterless Podcast. We start with the Sorcerer’s Stone - as one should - and talk about our favorite casting choices, some problematic directions for character development, and how it’s just perfect the way this story fits into seven books. Also, there are some hot takes on Snape’s movie character.
