Aaand we're back! After an accidental hiatus, we're taking it back a couple weeks to the release of the Patronus Quiz.

Also, big news - Sturgis Podmore is moving from Fridays to Mondays! Stay tuned next Monday for our reactions to the Fantastic Beasts news.

After a long, unintentional hiatus, Sturgis Podmore is back with an episode we made weeks ago! Maybe that’s why we’re treating the Patronus quiz like the newest of news… We talk about the new Pottermore feature and decide what Patronuses some random characters might cast, but not before playing a ro...

This week on TBNL, we reflect on the fact that many a panicked 7th Year is beginning their final school year at Hogwarts and contemplating what they could possibly do after graduation.

Canon or Fanon? A question I'm sure we all ask ourselves every day.

This week, we found a NEW Wikia – the Harry Potter Fanon Wikia. So we decided to play a game of Two Canons and a Fanon and made each other puzzle out the difference between bizarrely obscure people and things in the real Harry Potter universe and bizarrely obscure people and things that fans have cr...

Extry! Extry! No real news in the Potter World, but we've got a bunch of old news this week...

This week, we sort through a pile of old, nearly illegible Daily Prophets and try to figure out what some of the most confusing headlines might have been talking about. We also introduce another new game in which we have to figure out where in the Wizarding World we’ve gotten off the train. Join us…
