Woo hoo it's PotterCast time and it hasn't even been six months! This week, we are talking about what a TV series starring Arthur and Molly would look like, and pondering what you would or should do if you were to wake up as 11 year-old Harry with all seven books' knowledge in your head. Trippy.

What even is this planet that we live on anymore though?

It's every cat's greatest dream to finally catch that red dot. And sometimes they do (meaning we get tired of holding down the laser and pointing).
