Our October episode is packed with speculation, fun, and excitement! We were recording this episode while the big news about The Cursed Child was breaking, so you get to hear us learn everything for the first time.

– After recording last month’s episode some news broke about Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. BUT WAIT! As we record Episode 283, even MORE news breaks about the Cursed Child… and it’s huge!

– Keep in mind that we learn the news that The Cursed Child co-stars Albus Severus about 40 minutes into the episode. In the beginning of the show we’re speculating before learning the big news, so hang in there to get to the facts.

– Fantastic Beasts begins filming outdoors and we have some exciting footage to review.

– Did we just figure out the plot of Fantastic Beasts? We have some good theories, at least.

– J.K. Rowling reveals her favorite chapter from the Harry Potter series.

– Pottermore removes Lavender Brown’s “death” area. What?
Two new J.K. Rowling books are out this week: Career of Evil and the first-ever Harry Potter Illustrated Edition!
