hey! this is the first time i heard your podcast and I’m really happy that I came across it and listened to it!
anyway, I just want to say that I really like the episode because it gave a lot of information about the astronomy connections of the Harry Potter character names. I started to think that the Black family did have names from stars but I never knew that almost all the Blacks have a connection, not just in astronomy but also in mythology. I learned a lot just listening to this episode!
you guys should really try Pottermore. A lot of people might not like it, but the contents (especially JK’s) are really amazing and quite informative!
Anyway, thanks so much! Looking forward to your new episode!
Hi, Lovelle, thanks so much for your feedback! We’re all on Pottermore, although admittedly, the only one of us who is active is Ari. (One of these days, when RL doesn’t get in the way, I’ll revisit Pottermore.)
Thanks so much for your support!
