Leo Hartwell

Introducing Leo Hartwell, our resident entertainment enthusiast and dedicated connoisseur of all things magical and otherworldly. With a degree in Film Studies and a passion for fantastical narratives, Leo has spent the past seven years exploring the hidden realms of cinema and television for our website. As a fervent fan of both spellbinding dramas and adrenaline-charged action franchises, Leo's taste knows no bounds.

Leo's fascination with the supernatural and mythical creatures is evident in his love for the world of Harry Potter and the captivating adventures of the Winchester brothers in the Supernatural series. His writing is fueled by an insatiable appetite for the fantastical worlds of Middle-earth, the enchanting realms of Narnia, and the twists and turns of Guillermo del Toro's creature-filled masterpieces.
