Third Wheel Worryin' (HBP Chapter 14, Felix Felicis)

This week, bring your finest gin (Andrew's is indigo!) to a party at the Muggle orphanage where Mrs. Cole is meets Dumbledore, as our Chapter-by-Chapter series continues discussing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Our Chapter 13 discussion of "The Secret Riddle" is thought-provoking and focused largely on Dumbledore's actions and his intentions, based on what he might have known about things way back in the early 1940's.

 
News: We discuss two new castings for the recent Prisoner of Azkaban full cast audiobook release. Stay tuned for a review of these new audiobooks!

 What changes in Dumbledore's response to Harry if he already knows what Harry is saying about Draco is true?

 The Pensieve memory with Burke might seem different - but we've actually seen something like it before!

 How is what Dumbledore does to Mrs. Cole different than what Young Tom does to his fellow orphans?

 What made Merope still honor her father when naming Tom?

 Reckless Harry! Why is he casting spells with no clue what they do?

 Should Harry use the Prince's work to help curry Slughorn's favor?

 Hot Take: Snape would have been a great teacher if he taught with the same enthusiasm he has when writing his notes!

 Do we think Slughorn is even more interested in Harry given it’s been so hard to get him to come to the Slug Club?

 Why doesn't anybody believe Harry? The evidence is starting to pile up against Draco!

Step Daddy Snape (HBP Chapter 12, Silver and Opals)

Happy 2026! No trio member is safe, as Chapter by Chapter covers Chapter 11 of Half-Blood Prince, “Hermione’s Helping Hand.” Does Hermione do the wrong thing for the right reasons? Should Harry do the right thing and expose her actions or, even worse, not choose Ron for the Gryffindor Quidditch team? And, separately, is Hagrid letting his brother join classes? All that and more on this latest episode of MuggleCast.

 What did the hosts get from Santa this year? And is Andrew about to reveal more than ever before?

 Chapter by Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince Chapter 11, “Hermione’s Helping Hand.”

 Nonverbal spells are now standard in several classes, but does the trio ever learn them?

 Should Harry have made another decision once he discovers Hermione’s actions? Despite his friendship with Ron?

 An email asks: should Hermione have kept Care of Magical Creatures given her established future career trajectory?

 It turns out Hagrid is dealing with more than just the kids not taking his class.

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!

 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!)

 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.
