Hogwarts Radio

A Wizarding News podcast brought to you by Drawbridge Media

Welcome to Time Turner Thursdays a special feature of Hogwarts Radio that revisits some of our more popular episodes over the past 13 years. Episode 153 was released on February 6th, 2014 and talks about a major revelation about Ron and Hermione’s future relationship. The panel does a deep dive into comments from the author about the natural progression of that aspect of the plot. We also read responses to our tweets on the issue. We hope you have as much fun relistening and revisiting some of these older episodes as we had recording them. Thank you for your continued support of our podcast.
