If you’ve listened to an episode of WineMind before, you’ve probably noticed that Harry Potter somehow manages to sneak its way into conversation every time. So we finally decided to give in to our HP nerd brains and dedicate an entire episode to the psychology of Harry Potter fandom! In this episode, Ronda brews up a Pensieve Potion wine cocktail, while Heather answers all the questions you might have had about people’s obsession with all things wizard.

Why are we such Harry Potter nerds? It is because it’s a classic emotional story arc we’re all drawn to, are we all just nostalgic for our childhood, is Harry Potter the new Jesus… or is it something more?

Open a bottle, learn, and laugh, as WineMind uncorks the complexities of Harry Potter fandom.
