Hey, it's me, American Mike, no longer Canadian Mike. I'm back in the States and what timing

seeing as this episode is dropping on January 18th, 2021, and there's a big event on Wednesday. Hope it goes well and smoothly. But anyway, let's get into the next episode of this podcast. Before we continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements. First, from a programming perspective, this is the final episode about Puffs the Play. We will soon be going on to do the Fantastic Beasts movies. But in between, we're going to have a special one-off episode with guest lecturer Eric Silver talking about a topic that is near and dear to his heart and something that we have talked about on the podcast a little bit before. But we're going to devote a whole episode to it because I think it's important and it's an important critical discussion. And we've really done done that explicitly on Potterless and I think it'll be a fun thing. So stay tuned for that. That is going to be a good time. Also coming up in the New Year future, we're going to be doing a donation raffle fundraiser again for Potterless trying to put some good into the world in 2021 because it has not been off to a great start so far. And similarly to how we ran the Potterlist Donation Duel, it will involve fundraising and be matching some donations and giving out prizes to random people. So stay tuned for more information about that. If you want to follow Potterless across social media, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, I'll be posting about it there. So that is coming in the near future. And I'm very excited about it. And speaking of things I am very excited about, we have new members of our team over at patreon.com slash potterillus who are supporting the show and keeping it going. So shout out to Alita Hall, Karam Gunner, and Hannah Vance. Also shout out to Violet Weasley, who upgraded their pledge, and a correction for for Joe Sander who upgraded to the producer-level

patron status a couple of weeks ago, and I somehow didn't get their name into the list of producers. Speaking of that list of producers, I want to thank all of our existing producer-level patrons.

they have to go up and back and up and back and do like an 18 point turn just to move their

car over a little bit horizontally so that they can actually reach the pump.

But without further ado, let's get into episode 160 of Potterless, the the tale of a 20-year-old man who never read the Harry Potter series as a kid.

He read them as an adult, and then he watched Puffs, the play.
