E93 - What do Harry's dreams mean?

Listeners, it's time to dwell on dreams and forget to live. Reeah and Jem do a deep dive into all of Harry's dreams throughout the entire series and attempt to figure out if they mean anything or if they are totally random. Can Harry see the future? How many of his dreams are influenced by Voldemort? Why does he dream about his Firebolt so often? Along the way the sisters frequently get distracted re-telling and interpreting their own dreams, so be prepared for rambling anecdotes and no real ans...

E92 - Sink or Float: Snily

The sisters return once again with their Sink or Float miniseries to argue whether the ship of Severus Snape and Lily Evans should sink or stay afloat.

As usual, Jem has well-researched theories and comes to thoughtful conclusions, while...

E89 - Should Peeves be removed from Hogwarts?
