We’re kicking off the podcast with a trip to Hogwarts—and down memory lane. In this episode, we revisit the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, the magical books that sparked our university friendship. We share our favourite characters (spoiler: it’s not who you think), and chat about why Stephen Fry’s audiobook narration still feels like home.
