HARRY POTTER
About this episode

Welcome to the first episode of Harry Potter and the Half-Drunk Podcast! We are Sam and Emily, two twenty-something, adult beverage-drinking, Harry Potter-loving, best friends! In this episode we want to just give you an introduction to us and how we came to love Harry Potter. We discuss our individual favorites and least favorites in the Harry Potter book and movie series along with where we fall in the Harry Potter spectrum. All the while we are drinking champagne to celebrate Harry’s birthday! So if you love Harry Potter and don’t mind listening to two half-drunk girls discussing all the ins and outs of the franchise, please tune in!
