Hello, and welcome to the very late 21st episode of this supposedly Harry Potter podcast! Forces of nature have kept one of us down — but not out — and our dear Dayle returns to us after the destruction wrought by Hurricane Michael in October. Now that she is safe and sound, we return to our regularly scheduled pattern of talking like no one is listening. Which is to say: come with us as we discuss the recently released “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” and get lost deep in the weeds trying to reconstruct when and who and where and why everything ever was in the Harry Potter universe. Also, Cherie thinks one of the characters’ names is Travis, and we riff on that for way too long. Reunited, and it feels so good!
