Really fun to listen to

I really like this podcast. I joined about a week ago and just binged this. I’m also from Germany and find it really funny how he describes his thoughts about the book.

So cool

Hi!
I‘m from Germany and i love this podcast. I‘m a big fan of Harry Potter and so I saw this podcast and first I was like it‘s weird to hear to man who read Harry Potter for the first time because I‘m 16 and read it two times or more but then I‘ve heard some episodes and I LIKE IT SO MUCH!!
