2.10 Harry Potter vs The Brand
Welcome back to The Community Library, also known as Angourie’s Harry Potter Fan Club. This month, the theme is FANTASY, so of course I just had to do an episode all about Harry Potter (again). This week, I’m talking about the brand of Wizarding World TM, and its relationship to the original book series.
This month, the discussion pick is Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan. It’s a really fun and quick read, and I’ll be discussing it later on this month with a very special guest star.
