Behind The Wand - Episode 25, Flick Miles

We have sadly made it to the final ep in this mini-series... for now! To wrap things up, I couldn’t think of a better guest than the Harry Potter podcasting OG, Eric Scull. Eric is part of the MuggleCast team, who launched the very first Harry Potter podcast 20 years ago. I’ve been lucky enough to call Eric a friend for the past four years, and he was a huge support when I was getting this podcast off the ground—something we dive into in our conversation today. So take a listen as we unpack two decades of Harry Potter! 

This week, I'm joined by the true Queen herself—no, not Dame Maggie Smith—but the incredible Chanel Williams! Chanel rose to TikTok fame with her spot-on impressions of Hogwarts' finest professors, particularly the iconic Professor McGonagall. Since then, she's become a beloved figure in the Harry Potter fandom, known for her hilarious skits that bring the Wizarding World to life in the funniest ways.In this episode, we dive into Chanel's journey within the fandom, exploring her creative process and how she connects with fans across the globe. We also discuss her thoughts on the future of the Harry Potter franchise, especially with the casting of a new generation of young stars for the upcoming series. If you're a fan of magic, laughter, or just an all-around amazing conversation, you won’t want to miss this one!

This week, I’ve got the one and only Brett Ball—aka Brett’s Thoughts—joining me! Brett’s a true legend in the Harry Potter fandom, creating everything from real-life Triwizard Tournaments to hilarious roasts with cast members an epic voldemort cosplay... If you haven’t seen his content yet, stop what you’re doing (after this episode, of course!) and check it out.

This week, I’m joined by the incredibly talented Em Walbank — a social media sensation with millions of followers across her platforms. Not only is Em known for her captivating content, but she also has an amazing Draco Malfoy impression that’s bound to leave you laughing! Our friendship began when my son mistook Em for me (a huge ego boost on my part, I must say!). But beyond her beauty, both inside and out, Em’s warmth, humor, and passion for all things Wizarding World shine through in this episode.Tune in for an unforgettable conversation that’s as magical as it is funny — Em truly is a gem in this fandom!

This week my FAVOURTE podcasting ladies are on the show... The Swish & Flick hosts - Tiffany, Megan and Katie. My goodness do I adore them. I don't think I have ever laughed as much in an episode - and I genuinely forgot we were even recording a podcast. It just felt like a catch up with three of my friends.. Which is porbably why I had to edit out about 10 minutes of us chatting about snowing and me showing them pictures of my son in the snow... which doesn't really work for the podcasting platform. But don't worry we did get back to HP! Enjoy!

This week Trey Beachum, better known as I Am Black Harry, is on the podcast. Trey is hilarious and there is honestly nothing he doesn't know about Harry Potter - just check out Harry Potter: Hogwarts Touranment of Houses if you need proof. As you will see in this conversation, Trey has such an infectious energy. The content he creates oulls you right into his version of the Wizarding World and you can't help but be captivated by it!

Hey, welcome to Behind the Wand and Friends! In this podcast I sit down with some of my favorite content creators from the Wizarding World community to chat about everything Harry Potter and the future of the fandom—especially when it comes to the series and what's next! Whether it's deep dives into the books, discussions about the films, or the latest updates in the Wizarding World universe, we've got it covered. Stay tuned for all kinds of magic, insight, and of course, some fun surprises along the way! Let's get into it! ✨

Welcome to Behind The Wand AND FRIENDS! A little mini series where I speak to content creators right in the forefront of the Harry Potter fandom about what the Wizarding World is like right now. In this episdoe I speak to Melissa Maddock and she tells me how she creates her content which portrays her as your regular Hogwarts student, whilst also teaching me about the Maurauders fandom, Dracook and the universally approval of fan-casting of Timothée Chalamet as Regulus Black!

This week is the 'Flick & Mick Show' where Flick is speaking to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire editor Mick Audsley. HP 4 was a complex one to edit, not only because two other schools are introduced to Hogwarts - but the challenges included mazes, an underwater world and dragons... which proved to be quite tricky!!!
