Harry Potter and the Sacred Text - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I can’t believe I haven’t done this already, but I have been listening since the very beginning, and wow has this podcast seen me through a lot of hard times and growth. It is my go to comfort show, a way to continue engaging with the Harry Potter series with fresh eyes and some necessary distance from its author. To Vanessa, Casper, Matt, and all of the wonderful contributors - thank you for the company through all of these years.

Vanessa, Matt, Casper & team - You have ruined me for all other Harry Potter podcasts. I tried to listen to others but keep coming back to Harry Potter and The Sacred Text because....you guys are gold. You make me think about things in a deeper way and help me reminise in such a meaningful way. I appreciate that you keep the focus on the theme of each episode. Molly Weasley is my favorite character but I'm sending a special blessing to...Madam Pomfrey. With all of the injuries throughout the series, she always has her hands full and gives the best care without judgement. Thank you for this podcast! I am starting over from 2018. :-)

I’ve been a listener of HPST since the beginning and it’s gotten me through the good, the bad, and the every day. Vanessa, Casper, and Matt are such important people in my life because they have the gift of connection and that’s such a valuable gift to possess because it is meant to be shared with others. I’m still hoping to go on a pilgrimage one day to connect with them in person.
As a therapist I help people retrain their brains everyday, and this podcast helps me retrain my brain and makes me feel like I’m reading something different whenever I pick up on of the 7 books. Keep reading, keep listening. Always.

I started off 2023 by attending a live show of this podcast, and then proceeded to get caught up. If I had a Time Machine, I’d go back to my 2016 self and tell her to start listening to this podcast. I really could’ve used their guidance and insights over the last several years. But better late than never
