Call me a Harry Potter fan for my slack-bot commands!! In all honesty, this was a lot harder than I thought it would be. It wasn’t crazy difficult by any means, but I ran into a lot of issues calling API commands, accidentally using outdated JS code (anyone else fall for res.map() vs. res.map??), and trying to trace which part of my code was broken and why. A lot of times, I just needed to commit to GitHub since the Nest version ran that… but I’m able to have my bot show me Harry Potter spells and houses!!!

Running into issues — my Harry Potter public API request for a list of spells and their uses isn’t working properly right now. My next steps are to fix it or find out what’s wrong and then host it 24/7 on Next!
