BONUS EPISODE: This Fandom Is A Monolith
<p>We briefly return from our hiatus with an episode recorded last summer, all about Harry Potter Fandom: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Zoe and Adela reminisce about their first introductions to the books and to the fandom, online and offline. E remembers their view of this monolith of a fanbase from the sidelines, when internet culture in the 00s and 10s was saturated with Harry Potter references, theories, memes, and revelations. Zoe discusses types of fandoms from a scholarly lens and why the Harry Potter fandom was so transformative. For better or worse, HP fans shaped early internet culture. For better or worse, HP fans brought their obsession with the magical world into the real world.

BONUS EPISODE: It's Not A Swing Dress, It's A Watermelon
<p>In which we watch and discuss the film adaptation of Goblet of Fire which, despite all of the negative shoutouts, we all quite enjoyed. Discussions include the much better handling of the Crouch/Moody mystery compared to the book, as well as the two genders: butterflies and staves. We would all also like to acknowledge that we completely forgot to talk about Draco at all, and we apologize.</p> <p><strong>Links</strong>:</p> <p>Can You Do The Hippogriff: https://youtu.be/BRGAUnFuKj0</p> <p>Patil twins pronunciation guide: https://www.tiktok.com/@promawhatup/video/6927446505091501318</p> <p><strong>Find us on Twitter!</strong></p> <p>Adela - @aredhel__<br> Zoe - @zoetopaz<br> e - @cel10e</p> <p><strong>The Show:</strong> @potternaught (Twitter & Tumblr!)</p> <p>Theme music by Morgan Jackson: https://wedidthetimewarpagain.bandcamp.com/</p> <p><br></p>
