Subnodes, it's basketball. Welcome to horse. A basketball, a happy April fulls day.

Before I continue my first ever journey through the Harry Potter series, just a few quick announcements.

It is the first episode of Potterless in April, and here at Potterless we donate $1 every month

for each patron that we have on our team over at patreon.com slash

Potterless to a different charitable cause. And as I mentioned a couple episodes ago,

this month we will be giving to a fund that is supporting the families affected by the

Christchurch shootings. At the time of recording we have 756 patrons, meaning I donated $756 to a

launch good campaign called United for Christchurch Mosque shootings. The campaign ended at the end

of March. So if you want to support these victims, there's a great New York Times article about how

you can help, and that is how I found this charity. There are some other charities as well that you

can support. Second, I just wanted to give a friendly reminder that Potterless has a merch store.

If you go to bit.ly slash merch on, you can get a whole bunch of Potterless merchandise. We have shirts

in all the different house colors. We have pins, we have stickers, we have posters, all sorts of good

stuff. Amazing artists made all of these items possible, and I love all of them so much. And I hope

you do too. Again, you can go to bit.ly slash merch on to get that merchandise today. And speaking

of amazing people making awesome things possible, we have new patrons to welcome to the team. So

shout out to Katie Morris, Brenda's Inga Borsnayn daughter, Richard Krutz Landry, Natalie Ubbin,

Karen Joanne Killian, Tatiana Shmitova, Remco Hatters, Stefan, Lauren Renda and Tara, and a huge

shout out to her new producer level patrons, Jenny Campion, Nikki Harris, Kara Hamilton, and Dorcas.

They joined the ranks of Leon Vicki Aaron Ericka Calvin Jesse Natalie Debra Klau,
