Go See A 'Harry Potter' Erotica Podcast Live, Because You Deserve Happiness

This year is the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, the book that brought the world Platform 9 and 3/4, Albus [one million middle names] Dumbledore, and some unspeakable sexual fantasies—which are actually totally speakable and documented in erotic fanfiction across this fair internet.
What better way to celebrate Harry Potter's anniversary, then, than to see some of this horny fanfiction read aloud? Okay, maybe you could also celebrate by reading it by yourself and never telling a soul, not even your plants. But, if you want to do the first option, you can: the Chicago-based Potterotica Podcast is hosting a live taping at Quencher's Saloon (2401 N. Western Ave.) on June 27.
For $10, you can take in a live taping of the show, participating by putting your wand up when you feel... compelled, let's say, by the stories. More daring viewers can enter their names into the "Goblet of Desire," for a chance to read onstage alongside the three hosts: Lyndsay Rush, Danny Chapman and Allie LeFevere.
The event will also feature Harry Potter-themed drinks with pun names that will make you groan—but what type of groan will it be? (I'm so sorry)—including Polyamorous Juice and Firecrotch Whiskey.
You can learn more and buy tickets on the event page—and if you're on the fence about this, keep in mind that Harry Potter would be 28 now, a.k.a. an extremely legal adult. Also, the podcast has a perfect five-star rating on iTunes.
