Professor Julian Wamble
Critical Magic Theory
An Analytical Harry Potter Podcast
Instead of seeing criticism as an indication of not liking something, Critical Magic Theory invites listeners to explore the things about the characters,  plot points, and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter broadly that have always given them pause or made them smile without knowing why. It is in this navigation of the positive and the negative aspects of a world that we find the true magic.

Lit grad here. Feels like I’m back in a seminar again, only this time the text we’re all analysing is Harry freaking Potter.

Class is in session!!!
Professor Wamble is engaging, hilarious, and so good at critical thinking y’all. Not to mention a fantastic bass/baritone. He uses humor and obvious passion to conduct deep dives of characters. Love it!!
