Jo, I canĀ“t believe Ron and Hermione have a long distance relashionship, this is sad, with her in Hogwarts and him being an Auror, when do they get to see each other?? Not very often…:(

Wonderful episode yet again and more magical of course with the sorceress herself. The theme park, Rickman keeping a big secret, and so much more was wonderful to listen to and John is right, Jo should be a fourth co host from now on ;) What a great xmas gift for us!
