You are missed!
This was one of the best Potter podcasts out there. I enjoyed how the books and movies were analyzed and discussed. I miss the show as the hosts have moved on to other topics, but they will always be remembered for their contribution to this fandom. Thank you! Your show will be missed.

The podcast is very boring for me.

2007 vs. Woke Now
I just recently started listening to this podcast. I started with some episodes in 2007 to hear what it was like when the 7th book came out. I also listened to their newer episodes, and let me just say that it has gone very much downhill. In 2007, the show was nothing but pure Potter celebration and magic. But fast forward to nowāif you like a show where the hosts do nothing but ramble about their conflicted feelings on the trans movement or how they feel about Trump, or their frustration on representation, then this is the show for you. Instead of a show where the hosts love Harry Potter, this has become a show where the hosts hate Harry Potter. Itās really quite sad because it used to be so great. Now it is just depressing, political, and controversial. #PotterCastgotwoke #expectopaWOKE
Update: they are now doing episodes on Last of Us?? Why is this podcast even called Pottercast? One of the biggest pieces of Harry Potter media just released, Hogwarts Legacy. Everyone is raving about it and playing it non stop, but yet Pottercast can be bothered to even mention it and instead decided to do an episode on a zombie TV show. Ridiculous.

I HATE THIS PODCAST
THIS IS THE MOST WORST THING I EVER SEEN
Do hdhdhf no h xe no see a B
Change up
This was a fun podcast but they don't really have regular episodes anymore. Also, seems that they've switched to other topics and shows rather than harry potter.

I am listening to MuggleCast and I keep hearing them mention Potter cast on their older episodes so I decided to try and find you So far youāre making me laugh more than a MuggleCast but itās still going to take some hard work to make me a true fan and a banded MuggleCast.

I'm all teary listening to the LeakyCon live podcast, hearing them talk about the joy of fandom, and how it connects us, even in the face of JKRās transphobia. Thanks for that!

Donāt bother unless you enjoy being lectured on politics.

A crossover!!!
I learned about this podcast by listening to Criminal (really great true crime podcast. Check it out if you like that kind of thing) I am a huge potter fan, been reading and watching for years. I even went to see the broadway show of cursed child, and been to universal. I love this podcast, and the fact that I heard about it on another favorite was just so amazing!!!ā”ļøā”ļøā”ļøšŖš§š»āāļøš§š»āāļøš§š»āāļøš¦š®š®š® Ps What happened to you in the episode was SO WRONG. Whatever this girl thinks you did was so not true and justice will be served. Hang in there!!!

Ruining with spoilers!
They ruin any excitement that might be had with spoilers and negativity. You need better alerts when youāre about to completely ruin a movie with all the spoilers and plot points before it even comes out. This podcast posts so little and when it does, its negative and makes me wonder why they have a āfanā podcast anyway. I feel worse about my day after listening and that didnāt use to be the case. It used to be fun, enlightening and a theme of comradery. Sadly, no more.

Patheticus Totalus
Really hilarious listening to a group of maladjusts whining about JKRās perspective as a feminist. They all have so little respect for her as a person despite how much her work and her imagination has shaped their lives. Itās as entitled as it is delusional as it is pathetic.

Insufferable
Absolutely torturous to listen to. I despise this podcast.

A lot of whining
This show used to be a pretty good Harry Potter podcast but lately when they rarely do put a show out itās pretty much a competition on who can say the most āwokeā things and who can say the word inclusive the most. How about leaving politics out of it for just ONCE!

HP Nostalgia
Iāve loved Pottercast for a long time now - listening and getting to revisit this series Iāve loved so much feels like being wrapped in a warm blanket of nostalgia.
I appreciate the hosts standing up for trans rights in light of the authorās comments. However, I hope they keep in mind that why we love listening to the podcast is because we get to revisit the world we love so much. While we can stand against the authorās views, I hope we can keep our joy when talking about HP and not let negativity take over. Thatās why we listen after all this time. š

Longtime Fan!!
Iāve been with you guys since the beginning, through Christmas filk and Mr Blood. Listening to you guys is like having a chat with my friends. Iām often caught talking out loud as though you can hear me! Not to mention laughing out loud. What youāre doing matters. Thanks and keep up the good work.

The best thing about the internet!
The internet can be a harsh place. Pottercast is first of all fun! And coming in a very close second is welcoming, inclusive and open. The hosts are, at the same time, astoundingly intelligent and beautifully humble. I CANāT miss an ep!

Directionless
A once great podcast that feels totally directionless now. The hostsā hearts arenāt in it anymore, episode releases are sparse and irregular, and it doesnāt seem like they know what they want this show to be anymore.

So appreciative of the conversations around the trans and other marginalized communities in the fandom as I wrestle with my own feelings towards the series I love and hate that I cannot support.
Yāall are great!

Consistently great
Been listening since the very first episode. Love that itās still fun and funny and that thereās still so much to discuss. Itās changed somewhat over the years, but the hosts (& the folks that assist in so many different ways!) are a great. Not afraid to confront the shortcomings of the stories and āreal lifeā but they do it with intention and respect, which is appreciated.

Awesome!
Hysterical and creative HP convos that still feel fresh even in 2021!!!

Love!!
Love this podcast and the hosts. Iāve been listening to this show for years and I get excited every time thereās a new episode. They have so much love for the fandom and all of the people in it, it is truly a bright spot in what is sometimes a tricky fandom to be a part of. Love you Pottercast!

All are welcome here!
This is my favorite HP podcast. There are a few long-running HP podcasts but I admire this one the most for not shying away from political issues and criticism of the author. Other shows have distanced themselves from the author but are not so explicit in their denouncement and shy away from discussing political opinions for fear of losing listeners. I respect Pottercast more for expressing their views because itās the right thing to do. Trans women are women, trans men are men, and Pottercast knows this and wants everyone to know that too. The fandom is a very accepting and loving place and anyone who wants a home here can find it.

Itās been 12 years...
... at least. Iāve been listening to Pottercast for so long theyāre like family to me. From Melissa to John, to Frankie and Sue, my mind is comforted when I hear their voices. I think they stand up for the right thing, like the Order of the Phoenix would, including Trans rights/respect and overall will to see light in a dark world.
HeyItsWade
Trans people are valid :) & this show makes my days brighter!!
Just writing to say I appreciate how great this show is at addressing things that matter. This show is hilarious, ethical, and amazing.

individuals beware
I understand if people donāt agree with others opinions, but the length people go to try and demonize people just because they donāt share the same opinion is the antithesis of what is SHOULD mean to be an adult l. Iāve told my 7 year old a couple times that āitās ok not to like the same thingā when his friends donāt want to play with his toys. I feel like these host didnāt get the āitās ok to be different and share different viewsā as kids. I blame their parents

The hosts got woke
The hosts got woke and ruined the show.

You mean a spin off covering the history of the Ministry of Magic? Like from the first Minister to the current? I could see that since there is a lot of information on Ministers. I actually have listed them by years according to the information that I have found.
Also, was the DADA classroom on the 3rd floor?
Finally if anyone knows the names of the Wizarding Schools that we havenāt already seen in the films I would be ever grateful.

Potter cast is amazing!
I didnāt listen to Pottercast as it came out live over the years. As a huge Harry Potter fan, I started listening in 2017 w/ Troll in the Tineline and loved it! A few months later I decided to start at the beginning, and now, 2 years and many walks later, I only have one more episode until Iāve looped back to Troll. So hard to believe. The show is amazing, and while Iām sure it was great to listen real time, it was fantastic to listen to the debates and theorizing knowing what would occur. Iāve now been to two Leakycons, and just love the whole thing. SOOOO recommended for ANY Potter fan!!!!

Political and unwelcoming
PotterCast declines in quality and increases in political rhetoric and creates a hostile space for Harry Potter Fans. With dozens of better options out there, skip this one.

The trans community needs you
You are an iconic podcast. You have fans and a reach that nobody else has. It is time for you to use that power to speak out, on behalf of the trans community. You have talked about it briefly... in the past, but JK Rowling has doubled down, and become a true monster. People need to hear from you. We need more. Please.

New Potter movie!

Pottercast and the HP fandom got me through some really difficult times, and I really appreciate now how they are tackling the difficult issues with courage and compassion. Much love to you guys Melissa, John, and Frak!
