Beautiful new cover for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone! But seriously, how many covers can you have for one book? Which ones your favorite? I have to say, I still like the original British cover the best!

Hey listeners, how do you feel about the new commemorative HP cover?

Brilliant stuff. I wish I’d get one like this.
Just in time for V-DAY!
MUMMY HAVE YOU SEEN MY JUMPER
YES DEAR IT WAS ON THE CAT
Welcome back to The Witching Hour! For Season 6, we’ve got a new DJ, a new time, a new website, new fans, and loads of new content! Although we were sad to see Mehera depart from our live shows, we now welcome our newest DJ, Anu, as well as a younger crowd of fans that may not know wizard rock as well as our long-time fans. For that reason, this week it’s back to basics. We discuss what wrock is, what it signifies, and play some of our favorites from the original crew of wizard rock bands.

Ron/McGonagall.
Because wizards.
Welp, that about summarizes our feelings about the return of THE WITCHING HOUR, season 6!
THAT’S RIGHT! GET READY FOR SEASON 6!
Details forthcoming…
Yeah, we feel that.
Speaking of J.K. Rowling as religion… check our our podcast on the subject!
(via doctorjew)
We only have 4 podcasts from Season 2 remaining to be uploaded to our new (ok, almost year-old) server. We should be able to wrap that up by next week. Then you’ll have access to ALL 5 SEASONS for the first time ever on iTunes!
Just in time for our spring return… dun dun dun. (More on that to come!)
It’s been a while!
After the social media mania that was LeakyCon 2012, we’ve kind of left our dear readers hangin’. We’re so sorry about that. We love and miss you all very much. There’s just this thing called Mehera’s moving to China today, Claire’s studying abroad in Spain, and well Sara’s primary excuse is her job.
Also, while we’re all apart, The Witching Hour is currently off the air. That’s right, for the first time since January 2010, TWHis not playing on KWCW 90.5 FM Walla Walla. Which means those magical moments in the studio aren’t getting converted into podcasts for all our beautiful fans in Kentucky, Slovenia and beyond.
But it’s not the end! Keep brewing those Pottermore potions, reading those new copies of The Casual Vacancy and reblogging those COS gifs. Because Claire will be back for you in a few short months, and 2/3 of us have already signed up for Leaky 2013 in Portland. (Meet us there?)
In the past we’ve discussed doing more mixtapes or starting a vlog. We don’t want to make too many promises, but I (Sara) would definitely enjoy doing so if we can find the time, and if you wizards are interested.
So keep those chins up and those wands at the ready. You don’t want to lose your buttocks while we’re away.
Love,
TWH
PS. Sara’s going to be doing some file transferring over the next few months, so you might notice some missing episodes. They’ll be back up and available on iTunes as soon as our storage limit allows!
