Hey Potter fans, so before J.K. Rolling made a statement about the Johnny Depp in Fantastic Beast situation, we at Pottercast had recorded a fairly long conversation about it.

It was meant to be part of another episode, but to make sure that you can have that conversation in a timely manner, we're just throwing this up as a secondary extra epp.

Please understand that the comments that you're about to hear are A, not made with the knowledge

that JK Rolling was going to make a statement.

We will have that conversation on the next show and can be triggering

for victims of domestic and other types of assault.

So please listen with caution. I hope you find something to take from

this conversation and we hope that you are doing as okay with all of this as a Harry Potter fan can.

As a reminder you can find us on Twitter at at Pottercast where you can take part in the

conversation. We're also having a

conversation about all of this at our Patreon, which is Patreon.com slash Pottercast.

We're also just as a quick bit of housekeeping looking for editors and we're looking for an intern to help us to some of our Potter guest business.

So please shoot us an email at staff at pottercast.com if you are interested in any of those positions.

And that's about it.

And that's it.

We'll see you on the next official show, which will be Pottercast number 275.

So I wanted to pick your guys his brain about something else that's going on

Harry Potter with the news. First of all we got our first look at the

Fantastic Beast to cast. Yeah who are half those people?

Well, there's all these new, all these new figures.

We don't need new people, come on, we just had a bunch of new people.

First of all, we found out that Zoe Kravis character who Newt Scamander is in love with it's actually dating Newt Scamanders brother.
