Posted on December 14, 2016 by vokalias | Leave a comment

The Vassals return to Hogwarts for the end of first year, where they tackle mysterious mirrors, the power of love, and sports that sound like sex. Join Michal (inkasrain), Paul (Pod’s Plight), Matt (Varley), Bing (Shoeshiner), Nadia, Casey (blue-eyed-queen), Zach (Alias), Matthieu (beric175), and Paul Small (Ser Dinner Roll) as they review the second half of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s/Sorcerer’s Stone, and then freak out over Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Because we just can’t have nice things.
