“And unless Harry’s ears were deceiving him, the old radio next to the sink had just announced that coming up was …”
– Chamber of Secrets, chapter 3
What it’s all about …
I’ve had some amazing adventures in over a decade as a Harry Potter fan — reading and researching the books, visiting the sets of the film, enjoying Wizard Rock concerts, speaking at conventions, traveling throughout Britain discovering Harry Potter’s world, and writing two books. One of the best parts has been sharing my love for Potter with fans in my presentations in libraries, conventions, and bookstores. I’ve often been asked for those presentations to be recorded and available somewhere like YouTube. Those requests are the impetus behind this podcast project.
The HP Lexicon podcast will give me a chance to talk about things that I discuss in my presentations. I’ll talk about canon sources (those wonderful Daily Prophet newsletters, for example), about the way the books work together to tell one glorious tale, and about my experiences wandering through Britain in search of Harry Potter’s magical world. I’ll talk about the books mostly, although I am a huge fan of the films and I won’t be able to keep myself from chatting about them as well.
This page will be the home base for show notes, comments, and links. Each new episode will be available here as soon as I get it ready to post. You can use the contact links on this page to make comments on the show, ask questions, or make suggestions.
I hope you all enjoy the podcast and find it interesting and engaging.

Steve,
this is actually one of my favourite podcasts.
It was great to see this latest episode come up in my downloads. Loved to hear that you will be churning the show out a little more regularly (at least for the time being) and loved that these things are getting longer
Next time I’m in London I will find the places you found and skulk around for a couple of hours. I will also grab a copy of your “In search…” book soon. Great stuff again Steve
Cheers
Tom
Hey there Steve. Whatever happened to this podcast? I really enjoyed listening and hearing your insight into the series. Don’t know why you would stop making episodes. Come back please!
Unfortunately, Steve is very busy during the school year and doesn’t have time to record podcasts, I look forward to listening to more episodes this summer
