ProtegoCast is an animal rights in the wizarding world exploration podcast from the first and only Harry Potter-inspired animal rights charity, The Protego Foundation!

The Protego Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to ending the abuse of creatures in the Muggle world using messages from the Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts series. We strive to create a wizarding fandom that is more considerate of the rights, feelings, and treatment of all creatures regardless of species, size, or magical ability.

In ProtegoCast, we will discuss animal rights messages in the wizarding world, talk about our views on veganism and animal rights, and even host some very special magical guests!
