#4: Trolls, Demon Dogs, and Friendship, Oh My!

For this episode you need to have read through chapter twelve of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone!  Grab an extra butterbeer for this one because we go over things from Harry's family to Hermione to the establishing of the "Golden Trio".  You can find the Pottercast episode on JK Rowling's recent twitter actions here: http://pottercast.mischiefmedia.com Thank you so much to (instagram handles): karissamarston, shanycelora, nox.hpr, _heimatfieber_, nladez, kevtedd, bunderlilys, katcavestudio, muggleinkhakis, regal716, ladysugarquill, anthonyraus, the_introverted_witch, unpensieveable for voting and earning house points!  Check out KatCaveStudio's shop on Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatCaveStudio  NOTE: It came to our notice that I said, "or would you go get a teacher like I did" instead of "I would" xD Let's just blame the magic for being too real. I wasn't there at Hogwarts during this incident and did not go get a teacher to save Hermione xD.  Find us at @FirstYearsPod on Twitter and Instagram!
