ProtegoCast is an animal rights in the Wizarding World exploration podcast from the first, and only Harry Potter-inspired animal rights charity, the Protego Foundation!
The Protego Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization committed to ending the abuse of creatures in the muggle world using messages from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series. We strive to create a wizarding fandom that is more considerate of the rights, feelings, and treatment of all creatures regardless of species, size, or magical ability.
In ProtegoCast, we will discuss animal rights messages in Wizarding World franchise, talk about our views on veganism and animal rights, and even host some very special magical guests!

An important disclaimer: We at The Protego Foundation believe that Transgender women are women. Transgender men are men. Non-binary people are non-binary. Intersex people exist and should not be forced to live in the binary. We stand with Harry Potter fans in these communities, and we disavow the author’s anti-trans rhetoric and beliefs. So today, we are only considering this particular property with regard to its implications for animals and animal rights, particularly in the fandom. This discussion should not be seen as an endorsement for the purchase of this game.
