🎬 Rewatching Harry Potter...Podcast?

⚡️Happy Thursday June 12th,

WE KNOW! We know… it’s not Saturday and this isn’t a list of film recommendations.

But we launched a new season of our companion podcast to this newsletter: Rewatching: A Spirited Revisit of the Iconic Film Franchises and we wanted to let some film fans a heads up!

On season 1, we rewatched ‘The Lord of the Rings’ AND for season 2 we’re jumping back into the Wizarding World to rewatch Harry Potter!

🎥 Episode 1: Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone (2001)

⚡️ What happens when an orphan boy discovers he’s a famous wizard?

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, adapted from J.K. Rowling’s beloved novel, introduced audiences to a magical universe teeming with forbidden forests, enchanted staircases, and lightning-shaped scars. But at its heart, it’s a coming-of-age story wrapped in robes, wands, and chocolate frogs.

Screenwriter Steve Kloves translated Rowling’s richly detailed world with reverence and clarity, balancing whimsy with emotional depth.

Director Chris Columbus, known for Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire, brought warmth and accessibility to the sprawling magical world. His classic, child-centered style grounded the fantasy, making Hogwarts feel like a real place we all wished we could go.

Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson launched their careers with performances that perfectly captured the awkwardness, charm, and courage of childhood.

Alongside a who’s-who of British acting legends Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, the film became more than just an adaptation - it became the opening chapter of a generation defining phenomenon.

⚡️Listen to Rewatching Harry Potter

Grab your round glasses and your Bertie Bott’s beans because on this first episode Rewatching Season 2, we’re diving deep back into Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (click the cover art below to listen).

From the moment the Hogwarts letters flood the Dursleys to the first trip on the Hogwarts Express, this rewatch is packed with hot takes, magical trivia, and the kind of self-deprecating nerdy humor that only two 30-somethings who used to wear seashell necklaces can bring...sup.

Hosted by Daniel Matthews and Hunter Hill, this rewatch is both nostalgic and accessible to muggles with all levels of experience with the Harry Potter universe. A friendly reminder: we are fans NOT experts…
