Podcasts: Potter And Daughter

Potter And Daughter is a Harry Potter themed podcast where Joel Watson (cartoonist, geek dad and creator of the online comic HijiNKS ENSUE) talks to his eight year old daughter, Lily, as she reads through the Harry Potter book series.

In each episode Joel and Lily cover about 1/4 to 1/5 of a book, discussing what happened, why it happened and what lessons Lily is learning from the books as she reads them. It’s part Cliff’s Notes and part cute and instrospective conversation between a father and daughter who love the same books for the same (and sometimes totally different) reasons.

In the seventh episode of Potter And Daughter, Joel and Lily pick up right where the last episode abruptly left off with Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets at chapter 14. Things start calming down around Hogwarts until Riddle’s diary goes missing. A main character gets petrified, and Harry and Ron meet Aragog. Ginny heads down into the chamber and Harry follows her, eventually facing off against the memory of his greatest foe.
