“Great podcast! Worth listening to, even as an HP fan. Just light fun, don’t come for deep analysis or you’ll be disappointed. I’m reading some negative reviews that are upset he doesn’t know much, but that’s not the point. That being said there are some very small problems. Small warning: at episode 14 they laugh about the part where the muggle woman gets exposed and hollered at in GoF, saying its a silly prank. Mike apologizes later but it still kind of goes over his head that this was a very sickening and violating act on the part of the DE. But kudos for acknowledging the mistake. Also some guests can be overly snarky and they don’t always correct his misunderstandings (not a huge deal tho!) and if you read the UK/Canadian version then you may not be on the same page as these guys (haha literally maybe? Idk), but it’s not always noticeable! He’s also overly simplistic in some critiques (eg. perceived plot weaknesses that are actually meant to show institutional corruption, or wonders why is Hermione such a bossy nerd? she’s an insecure muggle born trying to prove herself) but at the end of the day one should just be here for fun! If any of that bothers you just listen to a more in-depth hp podcast. Hope this helps!”
