Listener Question"This is your loyal fan, and loyal listener Jeremy Levy from Colorado. I really enjoyed the chat GPT bonus episode content that you did a couple of weeks ago. I especially loved the last question. Also, a question was sent into a second podcast about Harry Potter called Broomsticks, and Butter Beer by a listener. This question was besides Lupin, who was the next best Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. In my opinion, it was Barty Crouch Jr. What would your opinions be on this?"
