In conjunction with our new subsidiary, HBO, we are reviewing the recently premiered 20th anniversary reunion special for the Harry Potter movie franchise. After we spent the big bucks and bought HBO we stormed into their board room and said "we want more books!" And this is what we got...you're welcome! In this episode we review our favorite moments from the special, look back on our personal origins with the book series, and discuss the legacy of the franchise as a whole. What were your earliest memories of HP and how do you view the series now?
