Reading, watching, playing… How about listening to the Wizarding World, too? Here are the seven best Harry Potter podcasts that will return you straight to Hogwarts.

7. Through The Griffin Door

Join the Super Carlin Brothers, some of YouTube’s finest Harry Potter experts, on their chapter-by-chapter read-through of the original books. They analyze the details you missed, point out the Easter eggs, and help you see the books in a new light.

6. Binge Mode: Harry Potter

If delving deep into the Wizarding World’s lore intricacies is more your cup of tea, tune in for Binge Mode: Harry Potter. With Mallory and Jason, you’ll never be bored as even the most general discussions are always fun when they bring them up.

5. Potterless

Are you upset you can never relive the joy of reading the Harry Potter books for the first time? Worry not, because you can get just as much fun by watching another person experience it first-hand — especially if they’re a grown-up man called Mike.

4. Harry Potter and the Sacred Text

Do you like… Overthinking stuff? We surely hope you don’t, but if you do, Harry Potter and the Sacred Text is your crowd. You’ll learn that even overthinking can be fun if it helps you analyze your favorite series as if it were an actual sacred text.

3. The Chapter Titles Were So Good

Harry Potter might have begun as books for kids but addressed many adult issues later. We bet you haven’t noticed even half of them on your last read-through, but worry not: the folks from The Chapter Titles Were So Good podcast will tell you all.

2. Critical Magic Theory

But hey, if “amateur” analysis doesn’t tickle your nerves anymore, there’s an entire Professor Julian Wamble willing to tell you all about the true magic of Harry Potter: the magic of words, characters, subtle details, and seemingly unimportant scenes.

1. MuggleCast

Finally, we have the heavy artillery. Whether you’re packing for a several-years-long life on a distant island or simply don’t want to ever run out of Harry Potter content, you’ll be cool with simply downloading the MuggleCast episodes. This podcast has been running since 2005, but trust us: these folks will still leave you hungry for more.
