Harry Potter

MuggleCast is your weekly ride into the world of Harry Potter, including the books and upcoming TV show! Our Harry Potter podcast, hosted by four life-long friends, brings its listeners entertaining and thought-provoking discussions about the Wizarding World. With each new episode we discuss everything Harry Potter: the latest news, the Potter books, the upcoming MAX TV Show, Fantastic Beasts, the theme parks, the video games, the fandom, and more! We're currently hosting a Chapter by Chapter re-read of the original seven Harry Potter books while keeping listeners up to date on the Harry Potter TV show.

MuggleCast: the Harry Potter podcast

MuggleCast is off from releasing new episodes until 2026, but we wanted to share this Bonus episode recorded for Patreon earlier in the year!

In it, we reminisce over the greatest month in Harry Potter fandom history: July 2007, when the Deathly Hallows book and Order of the Phoenix movie were released. We look at what we were doing while working for MuggleNet / MuggleCast, and share some unforgettable stories.

Reliving The Greatest Month in Potter Fandom History

This week we make a few end-of-year predictions for what 2026 will hold in store for Harry Potter fans, and open up the MuggleMail bag further than ever, as we read recent comments from YouTube and Spotify in addition to Discord, voicemails and e-mail! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura for our final episode of 2025!

 Looking ahead: what news will we get about a Hogwarts Legacy sequel? How about the HBO TV series? Will more series be green lit?

 Andrew leads the group in making unhinged predictions including genderbent books and a line of adults-only official merchandise.

 Our own 2026 plans for MuggleCast include content that looks ahead as well as back, including more talks on the TV show and classic components of HP fandom history.

 Voicemails sent in include a Hermione Granger impression, and ask the question, "how do children learn Voldemort's name?"

 Was Arthur Weasley's originally-planned death hinted at in the text of Book 5 and before?

 Spotify listeners want to know: is Snape projecting? What is the general skill level of your average every day wizard? And will Micah tell more dad jokes?

 Is Severus Snape a good teacher? What about his old Potions book? Why doesn't Dumbledore ever tell Harry exactly how to destroy the Horcruxes? And, does Hermione belong in Ravenclaw?

 Additionally, folks tell us their feelings on the Full Cast Harry Potter Audiobooks as well as the Tonks and Lupin romantic subplot.

 Our Lynx Line segment asks our most dedicated listeners for recommendations of books they've read this year and enjoyed. See the full list of suggestions here!

 Bonus MuggleCast, available over on our Patreon, will have the hosts discussing their behind-the-scenes stories of contributing to MuggleNet.com

 MuggleCast will return January 12, 2026!

 How does McGonagall’s attentiveness, which makes her a great teacher, compare with Slughorn’s incentivizing students to achieve their best work yet? Do less successful teachers (cough, Trelawney, cough, Snape) have something to learn from other teaching styles?

 Does the arrangement between Firenze and Trelawney to both teach Divination make sense?

 Was Snape really going to attack Harry? (All signs point to yes!)

 Crackpot Theory: Is Snape only being as awful as ever to Harry because Malfoy, now a Death Eater, is watching?

 Is Horace Slughorn... a good teacher?! His first lesson seems amazing. What would he be like with younger students?

 What are the pros and cons of Harry coming clean, and is what he chooses to do ethical? Is Hermione or Ginny closer to being right?

 Connections between this chapter and books 2 and 1 are plentiful! We discuss all the ones we found.

 TV Show Update: Daniel Radcliffe pens letter to Dominic McLaughlin

 Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 8: Snape Victorious. The MuggleCast Pensieve segment highlights our last discussion of this chapter back on MuggleCast #388!

 What if… no one had discovered Harry was missing before the train left Hogsmeade? Why doesn’t Hogwarts staff or the conductor perform a sweep? Micah doesn't see an issue, but others on the panel see a big nightmare.

 Why isn’t Dumbledore searching for Harry the moment he doesn’t show up?

 What causes one’s Patronus to change? The hosts retake the quiz!

 Oh hell, Doe! Snape is in no position to criticize someone else's Patronus!

 Do we think Snape is projecting his bitterness toward James onto Harry?

 We connect Harry's "grand entrance" back to Chamber of Secrets

 Andrew and Nicole recently met up inside Universal Orlando's Epic Universe, and give their take on the new Wizarding World land.

 How does the new Ministry of Magic ride stack up against the other Harry Potter rides, and why did 1920's Paris leave Andrew's jaw on the floor?

 Nicole discusses the Circus Arcanus-themed attraction which she was very impressed by.

 Despite the glowing review, Andrew still recommends waiting to visit Epic Universe while they work out the kinks.

 Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince Chapter 7: The Slug Club

 The MuggleCast Pensieve segment highlights our last discussion of this chapter on MuggleCast #387

 Why don’t Ron and Hermione believe Harry about Draco?

 Are Ron and Hermione basing their agreeability on the recent fiasco at the Ministry, where Harry bungled things?

 What would an alternate explanation be for what Draco is up to, that the trio saw?

 Does Harry have a sixth sense about Draco because of his Horcrux connection to Voldemort?

 We analyze and pick apart the incredulity around Voldemort recruiting Draco, Age 16 for his followers. There is series precedent!

 Micah makes several brilliant comparisons between Slughorn and slugs.

 Why aren’t there any Hufflepuffs at this Slug Club meeting?

 Harry underestimates Draco, in a huge way, and pays the price. Oops.

 
Lynx Line: Patrons invent their own version of the Slug Club based on their strengths, and tell us who would be in it!

 How is Bill able to take Harry's money out of Gringotts without his permission?

 Why did Dumbledore refuse Auror protection for Harry in Diagon Alley? And is Hagrid really the best alternative?

 We discuss Weasley's Wizard Wheezes being a beacon of light in an otherwise very dark time

 Does Molly's concern for Fred and George stem from the loss of her brothers Gideon and Fabian in the First Wizarding War?

 The MuggleCast Pensieve segment, highlighting our last discussion of this chapter on MuggleCast #383, features questions about that special clock.

 SEVERAL people tell Harry he wasn't expected for many more hours. Just what was Dumbledore's backup plan if Slughorn were not so easily persuaded?
