The Weasleys’ Wizarding Twincast
This TWINCAST features twin brothers reading the Harry Potter series for the very first time in parallel. Unbelievably, they made it over a quarter-century before even being spoiled on the first book! Although they’ll be reading the same chapters at the same pace, they’ll be recording separate podcasts with me, their older sister and wizarding guide, as they read (and listen) to the Harry Potter book series a couple chapters at a time. As they venture through their independent Hogwarts adventures, their parallel universes will collide with upcoming crossover episodes, movie watch parties, and live chapter readings! Stay tuned for how two fantasy gamer dudes navigate the biggest fantasy craze since they’ve been born!

Today's 90min podcast is chock full of David's theories. As the experienced wizard he is, he explains wandlore including the concept of "attunement." He also comments on goblin stereotypes, questions the relevance of ghosts "chilling at Hogwarts," and presents his Voldemort & Harry are "one in the same" theory. All while forgetting the name of the book and what could possibly be in the "grubby little package!" Oh, and apparently Sc...
Today is David's turn again to recap Chapters 8-11 of Sorcerer's Stone. Good news! David remembered the name of the book, and although he has no idea what a sorcerer's stone is, he has some great insight into something called a philosopher's stone...

In other news, the brothers' Dungeons and Dragons campaign has come to an end after 4 years. In that campaign, there was a "vampiric" villain, who David believes can be compared to Voldemort, that sought to overpower another group of wizards.
But where is Voldemort now? David ...
It's Daniel's turn to find out who is killing the unicorns!
We recap how these three 11-year-olds come to discover that it's their responsibility alone to defend the Sorcerer's stone! Hagrid hosts the most unreasonable detention in the history of wizardkind and we meet some "stoner Centaurs" along the way.
