During the Christmas holidays, we have been going through the audio archives of SQPN to sort and to preserve the thousands of podcast episodes we have recorded over the years. We came across a special unedited episode of one of our most successful series, The Secrets of Harry Potter. In the series’ last episode, Lyn Francisco, Denise Roper and Ariadna Quijano talked about the music written by composer John Williams for the Harry Potter movies. Because of the extensive editing work that this special episode needed, it was ultimately never finished or published.
