As 2017 comes to a close, we want to offer you a chance to celebrate the holiday season Potter-style. Join us as we rank Harry’s seven Christmases with returning guest Haley Strong (@hstrong_), write New Year’s Resolutions for some of your favorite (and least favorite) Wizarding World characters, and sort the characters of A Charlie Brown Christmas with a brand new guest host who may emerge as the Real Weirdo of the episode. We are also very happy to welcome musical guests Kanna Ann Anderson (@KannaAnn94) and Peeves the Poltergeist, as well as non-musical guest Shut Up Tim (@ShutUpTim), to perform song parodies throughout the show.
Thank you so much for listening to the show. We wish you a wonderful holiday season!

This was such a fun mixed-bag of holiday joy. I’m glad that you didn’t just end at ranking Harry’s Christmases. The New Year’s Resolution segment was very thoughtful. Sirius, stop making Snuffles a thing, hahaha. The Chalie Brown Christmas sorting with your dad was so sweet. He’s got a great podcast voice!
I’m fast forwarding through time by listening to this episode since right now I’m just about ready to start Book 3 even though I might check out some more special topics first. I wonder what Tim did to be demoted during this time…
I’ll definitely be coming back to this episode to jump to 4:50 so I can listen to that gorgeous version of “God Rest Ye Merry Hippogriffs”. Happy New Year!
So glad you enjoyed the show! Good call on skipping ahead to listen to it early!
I just joined Pottermore! I am a 12/13 Pukwungie (cause I’m American) and Hufflepuff! My wand is Dragon heartstring and my patronus is a Sphinx Cat. I know that no one cares but I was just super excited so eh, whatever.
That’s great! I am glad you’re enjoying it!
Also by 12/13 I mean that is my age.
