Summary
If you’ve been following Witch Please Productions since the early days, then you know our roots go back to Harry Potter with our show Witch, Please. Hannah and Marcelle wrapped up seven seasons of the reboot in 2023 but they occasionally hop onto Harry Potter and the Sacred Text to talk about the book series, again. Today, we’re dropping in an episode from that show about Book 4, Chapter 22. In the conversation, Marcelle and Hannah chat with the charming and brilliant Matt Potts about dress robes, Fred and Angelina, and the joy and horror of school dances. Every episode of Harry Potter and the Sacred Text focuses on a theme and a central question. In this episode we ask: when is ceremony just a formality, and when does it signal a genuine transformation?
