Welcome to a very special episode of HP Half-Drunk as Sam and Emily are joined by Sarah this week; and try their best to compare the Twilight series to Harry Potter's.

This episode picks up right at the climax of Goblet of Fire. Grab your beverage of choice and tune in. Cheers! 

Those cunning folk in Slytherin use any means to achieve their ends! This week Sam and Emily are talking all about them in a long-awaited Slytherin house profile episode.

Cheers! 

Sam and Emily devote this episode to everyone's favorite half-giant and Care of Magical Creatures professor. You guessed it- Hagrid! Hagrid is truly the heart of the series and Hogwarts wouldn't be home without him. Grab a Dragon's Fire cocktail and tune in. Cheers! 

As requested by some listeners, this week Sam and Emily are reading their first Harry Potter fan fiction, "My Immortal".
