Y’all have read the Harry Potter series, and if you’re anything like us, you’ve read the books so many times that your copies are well loved beyond belief. You know the characters, the plot - but have you ever stopped to think about all the quirky stuff? How did the Dursleys get home from The Hut On The Rock, The Sea? How do magical portraits work? How many freaking pockets does Hagrid’s coat actually have??? Join us as we nutshell the first book, discuss all that, our hatred of pumpkin juice - SERIOUSLY, WHY?! - and give you a much better ending to the series.
Grab your Hogwarts Express tickets and meet us at Platform 9 3/4 - we gotta get back to Hogwarts!!!
Lucius Malfoy just heard that The Realm of Endless Stories is starting its coverage of Harry Potter, the Wizarding World, and more! Join us for this ridiculous intro episode in which we outline how we’re going to cover the series, our plans for theme and character study episodes, and how we’re so glad we went back to Hogwarts!
NOTE: The Realm of Endless Stories does not support the views/beliefs of the author of the Harry Potter series, nor the author herself. The Wizarding World belongs to each and every one of us, and hate is not welcome here.
We wrap up our time in Etheria with discussions about King Micah, Queen Angella, Shadow Weaver, the role of absent parenting in shaping children, and our takeaways of the “Heart” finale and the entirety of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.

Don't judge a book by its cover, and certainly don't judge a princess by her size.
Join us as we discuss the phenomenal Frosta - her ability to skillfully rule a kingdom, learning to make friends, and figuring out that sometimes you just gotta say "screw the expectations of others, I'm gonna be myself and anybody who doesn't like it can suck an egg."

NOTE: The Realm is not really on hiatus, but our schedule is definitely messed up. We're still recording and editing, but we'll likely drop the next few episodes close to each other as we attempt to get back on schedule. Thanks for sticking with us!
If there's anyone who can and should bless the rains down in Africa, it's Perfuma. Join us as we talk about our lovely flower princess, the journey to understanding cacti, how friendship and caring is the opposite of weakness, and how she once made Hordak so angry that he released her as his prisoner from the Fright Zone as long as she promised to GO AWAY AND NOT COME BACK. FOR THE SHE-RA!
