Hi I’m Zac - Welcome to Belated Binge Harry Potter - in part the story of how a sports fanatic became a potterhead! Because despite growing up through the hype and looking quite a bit like Harry himself - I didn’t read these books until my mid twenties!
Why did I finally read them?? Without going into too many details in the trailer of all places, I’ll just do what most married men get to. Blame my wife!
Regardless of who’s fault it is, when I was around 25 a potterhead came bursting out of me like a raging monster in my chest!
So I decided to start a podcast, rereading the books and talking about each chapter. A novel concept that only about 1,000 other people were already doing in the Harry Potter fandom at the same time.
Now I discuss it with a bunch of them! We go on each others podcasts and it’s great as I strive to answer some of the hardest hitting questions in the fandom like:
What did Dumbledore know and when did he know it?
Why does Harry only ever learn 2 spells?
Are there any competent adults in the wizarding world - anywhere???
You’ll hear a few sports metaphors giving way to spell puns, deep dives into character motivations, theories and a fairly regular spotlight on our beloved headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
There will be spoilers! There will be language! There will be laughter!
So grab your wand, your cloak, steal an owl from the zoo and join me on this Belated Binge of Harry Potter!
Maybe don’t actually steal the owl..
