The Weasleys’ Wizarding Twincast
This TWINCAST features twin brothers reading the Harry Potter series for the very first time in parallel. Unbelievably, they made it over a quarter-century before even being spoiled on the first book! Although they’ll be reading the same chapters at the same pace, they’ll be recording separate podcasts with me, their older sister and wizarding guide, as they read (and listen) to the Harry Potter book series a couple chapters at a time. As they venture through their independent Hogwarts adventures, their parallel universes will collide with upcoming crossover episodes, movie watch parties, and live chapter readings! Stay tuned for how two fantasy gamer dudes navigate the biggest fantasy craze since they’ve been born!
