Cormac McLaggen: Character Study
Alice and Martha talk through 100 great saves by Cormac McLaggen, even though it's not quite clear where he has actually played Quidditch before. McLaggen may not be Harry's favorite, but he's a great decoy date for Hermione and practically King Slug!

Customer Reviews
🤩🤩🤩 The Real AWESOME Sisters 🥳🥳🥳
I found this podcast while searching for a Harry Potter podcast. I started listening to the Real Weird Sisters last year and I have almost caught up on all the inside jokes, which I often find myself laughing along with. Just as a note, I LOVE the theme song. Keep it up! 👍👍👍
P.S. The bird bites.
Harry Potter Perfection!
I so enjoy these real sisters diving deep into the Harry Potter series. As a reader later in life, listening to Alice and Martha’s deep dives and fun rants have taken my appreciation for HP to the extreme (just ask my friends).
The character studies are a unique way to explore lesser plots and view the world from different POVs (yes, Tim, I know what a POV is)
It’s a WHAT??
A GREAT Harry Potter podcast!! I love the new take 5 episodes, the sisters banter make me laugh out loud, especially when the 3rd official sister shut up Tim is with them. JUST KIDDING-I mean the official GUEST shut up Tim. I found your podcast a few months ago and have binged the whole archive and am almost done with the book 7 book club. I find myself saying all of your silly phrases and like I said, laughing out loud multiple times while listening. Keep it up sisters! Sisters (not Tim). 😂 PS-Even though he’s not official, I do love shut up Tim also.
UPDATE 2024
Please make more “game” episodes!! Family feud, hunger games, more sorting hats for reality tv series! Love yall!! -
