We’re here to yap about the fics we love, the characters that ruined our lives, and why Hermione Granger remains the blueprint. Think gossiping over margs and queso, except somehow Draco Malfoy keeps getting brought up.

Every episode features fanfic recommendations, fandom discussions, current reads, “would Hermione approve?” conversations, and plenty of chaotic tangents along the way. Whether you’re deep in the Dramione fandom already or just Dramione-curious, we’re so happy you’re here.

HWA: Pride & Prejudices]]>Happy Pride Month, and happy birthday to our favorite emotionally repressed blonde wizard! In this episode, Maddie and Millie dive into the relationship between fandom and queer identity, sharing personal stories about finding community, representation, and belonging through fanfiction.

They discuss why fandom spaces have become a refuge for so many LGBTQ+ readers and writers, the importance of queer joy, found family, and happy endings, and the impact fandom has had on their own lives. Then, in honor of Pride Month, they recommend some of their favorite queer fanfics, ships, and stories from across the Harry Potter fandom and beyond. Finally, they celebrate Draco Malfoy's birthday the only way they know how: by spending an unreasonable amount of time talking about him.
