It's Monday and that means we have a new episode of Podtrificus Totalus, a Harry Potter podcast done chapter by chapter, book by book.
|
||
|
||
This week's episode covers chapter six of *Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone*, "The Journey from Platform Nine and Three-Quarters." Harry travels to King's Cross station where he meets the Weasleys and befriends their youngest son, Ron, aboard the Hogwarts Express. On the train ride, we're introduced to a heap of new characters, including Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, among others.
|
||
|
||
