Chapter 199: Give Them Violence

HARRY POTTER
About this episode

Surprise, surprise! Welcome to the new look, and new direction of what was previously known as Harry Potter and the Half-Drunk Podcast. We are Sam & Emily and we are here to talk all things Fantasy! We will be especially focusing on our favorite heroine-centric series, while enjoying an adult beverage or two. This new content direction will be kicking off with a deep dive into Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros - and just in time for the sequel, Iron Flame - hitting bookshelves near you today, 11/7/23! So if you haven't read Fourth Wing yet, here is a friendly reminder to do so before listening to this episode as spoilers abound. Cheers!
