Episode 3: The Vanishing Glass

Pour your Butterbeer and let's dive into Chapter 2 of The Sorcerer's Stone: "The Vanishing Glass".  Join us for some Potter news, chapter breakdown, and bad jokes. 

Episode 2: The Boy Who Lived

In this episode of Turn on the Light, we dive into the magical beginning of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. Join us as we explore Chapter 1, "The Boy Who Lived"—where owls act strangely, shooting stars light up the sky, and a baby arrives on a doorstep to change the world forever. We discuss Dumbledore’s wisdom, the Dursleys’ delightfully dreadful personalities, and how the chapter sets the stage for a story that we still can't stop talking about. Light your wands and step with us into the night that started it all- October 31, 1981.
