A British listener here! I’ve been a long watcher of the YouTube channel, I think for about 8 years now. My younger brother and I watch you guys together and see a lot of ourselves in you, both of us being massively passionate and knowledge Harry Potter fans too.
The podcast is just the greatest, I listen to every episode whilst I’m in work and I am constantly finding myself wanting each episode to be longer! The in-depth analysis and commentary is just the perfect style to delving into the books for the hundredth time.
My question for you is this - besides the big 3 (Dumbledore, Voldemort and Grindelwald) who do you think are the top ten most powerful witches and wizards alive during the series?

Keep up the good work and see you in another life brother!

Guys You’re On a Roll!

The Super Carlin Brothers' Harry Potter podcast is a magical delight for fans. J and Ben Carlin's witty banter, deep knowledge, and genuine passion for the wizarding world create an engaging and enjoyable listening experience. Their seamless blend of humor and insightful analysis, coupled with a palpable chemistry, makes each episode a must-listen for both casual and devoted Potter enthusiasts!
Theory question: It never made sense for me that Harry is so affected by Dementors. It seems unlikely that Harry could remember Voldemort killing his parents, especially the details of what Lily and James were saying, given that he couldn't speak yet. And James was in different area of the house, so Harry could not hear him. What if it's not Harry's own memory haunting him, but rather Voldemort's worst nightmare of "dying" that's causing Harry to faint?

magical delight for HP fans!

I was not wrong from my first review. Listening to SCB on a podcast is always great. I just knew this would be a great new way to go through the story. Well done everyone at SCB👍👍

Perfect

This podcast is what actually got me to finally listen to an audiobook of the series (the Stephen Fry ones) and wanted to say thanks! Though i'm only about halfway through your read-through of chamber of secrets, i have just gotten to Voldemort's revival in the Goblet Of Fire! Now, a question if i may ask.... I'm not at Deathly Hallows yet, so i don't know if it answers it, but do you think that Wormtail could've escapen his death by turning into a rat...? And with that- what happens to his hand if he turns into a rat?? Well, that's the question. I hope you guys have a great read of the Goblet Of Fire!

Thank you guys!
