Alastair Stephens hosts this witty and deeply intelligent discussion. He also discusses other books that fit into the style of the series, or books that J.K. Rowling has said influenced her (A Wizard of Earthsea, Worst Witch, and The Sword in the Stone so far).  I can't say enough good about this.

UPDATE: This podcast will never be complete, stopping near the beginning of Order of the Phoenix. On August 2, Alistair announced his immediate retirement from podcasting in a statement on Point North's main page. I am saddened that this has come to an end.
