Through the Griffin Door

Through the Griffin Door

Join Harry Potter experts J and Ben Carlin of the Super Carlin Brothers YouTube show in a chapter-by-chapter read-through of the entire Harry Potter Saga from "The Boy Who Lived" to "The Flaw in the Plan." These two brothers have made a career of studying and discussing the Wizarding World and invite you to join them on an in-depth analysis of the story from start to finish. We plan to explore our favorite moments and characters, discuss fan theories, and the art of a good plot hole. (This show will contain spoilers for the whole series)
