Together they discuss the fate of Queenie, the wizarding world in Europe, and what scenes they liked the most. Was Johnny Depp a good choice to play the infamous wizard Grindelwald?

Fantastic Beets and Where to Find Thyme - Show Notes

This week on The Lettuce Podcast, the hosts return to where it all began: the wizarding world of Harry Potter! Charlotte and Laura gab about a new Hufflepuff hero in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. They discuss their love of the delightfully quirky Newt Scamander, the scary and frustrating Second Salem movement, and which of the fantastic beasts they liked the most. Charlotte wonders how well the film fits into the Harry Potter world we know and if there's excitement for future movies. Laura examines the difference between US and UK magical law enforcement. Both girls gush about the budding romance between Jacob and Queenie, talk about the role of Dumbledore in the future, and their new wizarding heroine Tina. How does no-maj Jacob help introduce movie-goers to a world they already know? How are Tina and Queenie so different yet equally loveable? And is Newt's mating dance the absolute best scene in the film? All these questions and more are up for debate in this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast!

Charlotte and Laura give their rating of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and then move to their favorite segment: Fun & Games! The hosts feel it necessary to play a round of Kill, Marry, Pity Date – their favorite game and go-to for all Harry Potter topics. The girls also take a quiz to determine if they are more Tina or Queenie.

For this episodes Podtails, Charlotte enjoyed a cup of tea (like a good Brit!) and Laura sipped on a glass of Champagne aka Giggle Water.
