Mischief Managed Podcast: Your recommended dose of Harry Potter nonsense

Hello dear friends. It's a special episode of MMP because the gang's all here! Aaand we also announce that we're going on another hiatus. Thanks for joining us for Season 2! We're sorry to leave you but we'll see you again. It's not all bad, we also share listener emails about POC HP fans experience with the series. Then we move on to our Meet your Messrs question, "If you could only read only Harry Potter book for the rest of your life, which one would you pick?" Craig and Katie have a friendship hour, Kate goes for a classic, and Laura's is magnifique. For our topic, we talk about where the Harry Potter universe could go from here. We chat about our wish list of tv shows, books, plays, and beyond! After we are done with our imagination, we move on to an out-of-place quizzle, a beauty of a Ravenclaw, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is very Harry. WoOoOoW. Love MMP

Welcome back to another episode of Mischief Managed while the world is a trash heap. Kate's joining us for this episode but Laura couldn't make it. Mischief Managed giveth and Mischief Managed taketh away. We start off with the heavy stuff first so we can get to some classic escapism. We talk through our feelings about JK's latest crap and catch up on Quarantine times. Then, Kate hits us with some heartwarming HP readings and we do a Pet Update (TM). Next we move on to a tricky Meet your Messrs question: What would you like to be Lockhart famous for? Katie's is ambitious but then super shallow, Kate's is ambitious and stays that way, and Craig's... is classic Craig. After that we move on to our topic, competition culture and how it relates to Harry Potter. We discuss sports, pros and cons, quidditch, and House points. Then it's on to a quidditch quizzle, a yet-to-be-named Craig segment (Craigment), a Super Hufflepuff, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that's actually a Marry/Boff/Kill! Hope you are all healthy and well. Love MMP

Check out #WizardTeam podcast, The Gayly Prophet podcast, and The House of Black podcast to support amazing Black Potterheads. This episode we start with a little intro to show our support for the Black Lives Matter movement and protests in America and worldwide. POC listeners write in to mischiefmanagedpodcast@gmail.com for our Meet Our Listeners question next episode. Hope you're all safe! Welcome back to Mischief Managed! We check in with each other and how we're coping with the quarantine. Then we go on to talk about the latest JK twitter fuckery and go on to our Meet your Messrs question. In this one we decide which we would like to grow in our garden, bubotubers, venomous tentacula, or devils snare. I forget most of our answers but I'm pretty sure Laura is a villan. Next it's on to our topic where we do a character spotlight on Cho Chang. We discuss her highs and lows, what we like about her, how she's perceived in the fandom, and Asian representation in Harry Potter. Afterwards, we move on to a confounding quizzle, a fandom fight, a spellbound Gryffindor, and a BBB variant that is hard to describe. Love MMP

It's an across the pond-cast! Our pals Ed and Roisin join us for today's episode. We chat about their intro to Potter and Roisin's award winning performance. Then it's on to our Meet Your Messrs question, where we pick who we'd write a fanfic about. Laura gets catty, Katie is obvious, Roisin goes incognito, Ed chooses an underused badass, and Craig cheats. Next we are on to our topic: J.K. as a writer. We talk about her writing style, what's unique about the Harry Potter books, and her other works. Then it's a super easy quizzle, a Peaky Slytherin, a new segment, and a location version of Be/Banish/Befriend. Stay safe, my dears. Love MMP

Oh hey, nice to see you! Here's a wee minisode with our beloved Kate. We catch up on quarantine lives and shoot the shit. There's even a few Marry/Boff/Kills near the end to add SOME Potter content. Other than that it's just friends hanging out and you're welcome to join. Sorry for the delay in release and the audio quality, we hit some snags along the way. A full regular episode is coming out next week!

Part 4! It's almost done. Thanks for joining us for our live parody readings of the cursed child. If you did like the cursed child, I hope we haven't ruined it for you! Thanks for tuning in to our lil' quarantine treat. Will you ever forgive us? Love MMP

Part 3! Time travel and Delphi. What a mess. Here's our 3rd instalment of our parody live readings of the cursed child, live at the Lockhart. Here to brighten our spirits and such. Enjoy? Love MMP

Part 2! Shit's starting to get weirder. Enjoy our parody readings of the cursed child, live at the Lockhart. Here for a probably limited time while we're all cooped up and going crazy. Love MMP

No one asked for this but here it is anyway! Part 1! To help with Covid-19 quarantine sadness, here are our parody live readings of the cursed child book that we recorded in 2016. Get ready for some insane character choices by Craig, insane plot choices by the writers, and homoerotic subtext that is not sub at all. Love MMP ps - If D1sney comes at us we'll probably have to take this down, so get it while it's available!

If Quarantine goes well, we will be able to save more than one podcaster tonight. Hi, sweet listeners. Here is our first real episode of the quarantine, but it won't be our last! We all say hi. Our Meet your Messrs question asks us who we would like to be quarantined with. Laura sticks to her guns, Katie is somehow intimidated, and Craig's heard it all before. Next it's on to our topic, which is all about Time Turners. We discuss how time turners stack up against other time travel devices, how they are used, and paradoxes. Next it's a visual quizzle, a wild Ravenclaw, and a Be/Banish/Befriend that is mischievous. Love MMP

We're all frauds! Hi dear listeners! This episode we are down a Kate but up two classic guests, Tess and Thom. We chat through the intro: Craig spills the beans about his new job, Laura gets older, another book is released, you get it. For our Meet your Messrs question today, we try to figure out who we would impersonate GoF-style to get close to Harry. Laura plays the odds, Thom doubles down, Tess looks for ease of imprisonment, Katie plays an eccentric, and Craig goes big. Next it's on to our topic: Imposter syndrome (and Harry Potter). We chat about what it is, Diane Kruger, Harry's insecurities, and hashtagmillennial things. Then we move on to our Quizzle, an out of place Marry/Boff/Kill, a Little Castaway, a Good Old Hufflepuff, and a new segment called Owl Post. Thanks for listening! We don't deserve you

Hiatus Deletus! It's good to be back, my dears. It's a new year and it's a new season(?) of MMP. We welcome you back and let you know what's been going on in our lives over the break... but make it magic! Then it's on to our topic which is kind of a grab bag of Harry Potter developments, but mostly about JKs recent tweet that broke our hearts. Next we pick it up with a surprise double quizzle, a time turning Gryffindor, a joke of a Cast Away, and a Marry/Boff/Split that's all too real. Thanks for waiting! We're glad to be back! Love MMP

Something wicked this way comes... Aren't you tired of this hiatus yet? Well we are! To get back into the swing of things three quarters of us were able to get together over the holiday break and have a quick chat about Potter Go... I mean Wizards Unite! So if you've missed having us rummage around in your ear holes then have a listen and get any suggestion owls in ASAP! We are recording Episode 1 of MMP Volume 2 soon! Can't wait to hear from you! Love, MMP

and also, other things... Hey pals, welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! We're about to go on a hiatus so we thought we'd leave you with an extra long episode to keep you warm at night. For our intro, we've got our good friend Jamie back on to compliment us and get us up to speed on her thought about CoG. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question were we answer the question: Which teacher would we have dinner with at the Three Broomsticks? Laura wants the gossip, Kate stays true to herself, Katie is intimidated, and Craig needs to vent. Then it's our topic, which is a grab bag of deleted scenes from Crimes of Grindelwald, some JK twitter drama, thoughts on bullying, and Dudley Demented. Then we've got a terrifying Quizzlor, Characters from all the Houses, and a Be/Banish/Befriend that is a twist on a classic. Thank you for a great three years, and we'll be chatting to you soon! Love MMP

Fight for their Rights Oh hey, I didn't see you come in. Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! We bring you outdated Oscar speculation and plans for Laura's birthday. Then we're moving on to our Meet your Messrs question, where we answer how we would quit our jobs using magic. Kate gets a load off her chest, Katie gets fired, Craig is a ghost, and Laura sends farts. Next we have our topic which is about Creature Rights (in theory). Mostly we get confused about what a creature is and annoy Craig. Then it's on to a Quizzle you haff to love, a creature-friendly Cast Away, a ghoulish Ravenclaw, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that's a real coin toss. Love MMP

No Comment Bonjour, my pals. Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! In our intro, we talk about Love Day, sloths, and jam (maybe a little Potter news as well). Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question where we choose who else would be a good main character in the Harry Potter series. Katie barely chooses, Laura wants a brainy POV, Craig likes Giants, and Kate wins. Then we move on to our Topic: Aurelius Dumbledore and the clusterfuck it symbolizes. We chat about fan theories, obscuruses, confusing family trees, along with many gripes. Then it's on to a very Ravenclaw Quizlaur, an upbeat Gryffindor, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is both nice and sad.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed! This episode we begin with some pressing HP news (involving a certain car franchise. Wiiiiiiiink), becoming a second aunt, and how deeply cold it has been. Next we move on to our Meet Your Messrs question which asks "Which character (who has never been a teacher) would you want to teach a class at Hogwarts?". Then it's on to our main topic, which is all about Minerva McGonagall! The bad ass in the green cloak. Next, we move on to a Quizzle, a priestly Slytherin, a duo to Cast Away, and a Marry Both Kill that's a bit of a stretch. Love MMP

Join us... Or DIE! Welcome back to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast. We've got our regular guest, Tess, and we're ready to talk about the hot button issues... Like Hallmark movies. We announce the wonderful listeners that have earned spots as House Prefects and Head Boy/Girl from their contributions in 2018. There were many to choose from. Our House Cup runneth over with good people! Thanks guys! Then it's on to our Meet Your Messrs question where we decide which method we would choose to keep warm on our daily commutes. Laura is full of hot air, Tess wants to be in t-shirts, Katie doesn't want to talk to anyone, and Craig comes up in a lot of Google searches. Next we start on our topic: The Unbreakable Vow. We chat about kids stealing wands, loop holes, blood pacts, and holding a knife to your friend's throat. Then it's on to a Derry Slytherin and a Marry/Boff/Kill that you'll vow never to listen to again. Love MMP

U NO POO or so it seems... Welcome back, to a sneak peak at an unedited episode for Patreon, released two days early! Todays episode is all about Wizards shitting themselves, because apparently that's where we are right now. This is what we choose to do with our time. Also, and more importantly, THE RESULTS OF THE 2018 HOUSE CUP ARE ANNOUNCED! Love MMP

Guys... I don't know what we were thinking. In lieu of a new episode during the Holidays, we made a supercut of all our Outtakes from episodes 1-77. This is not for the faint of heart. This is about 38 minutes long. I'm so sorry. This is all nonsense. Fresh episodes in 2019!! We promise!

Where is the Greater Good? Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! We begin the episode with Holiday wishes and a big serving of humble pie to two of the Messrs. Too much confidence is a dangerous thing. Next it's on to a Meet your Messrs question that has been a bit mutated. We answer which X-Men-esque powers featured in CoG would we choose: Maledictus, Legilimency, or impenetrable shield charm (but for evil). Laura knows what she wants, Katie is a good influence, Craig is good at trivia, and Kate likes Katie best. Then we continue to our Topic, a Character spotlight on Dumbledore and Grindelwald in Crimes of Grindelwald. We chat about casting, acting, plot, blood pacts, and more nonsense. Then it's on to a festive Quizzle, a Help-ful Cast Away, a Piggy Slytherin, and a Be/Banish/Befriend that is Fantastic. Love MMP

Neckbeards, ahoy! One million spoilers await you, ye who enter here! Welcome to our spoiler review of Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald. To break the ice, we chat about the Lion King and the sneak peak of Wizards Unite. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question, which new character made the biggest impression, good or bad? Craig's is an unknown menace, Katie's is in the eye of the storm, Kate is being nice, and Laura likes things, too. Now it's on to the big one: The spoiler review. We take a long time and it feels like we barely scratch the surface of our feelings towards this movie. There are many gripes to be aired and some shining hopes along the way. Guard your heart. Here there be feels. We forgo the usual segments because we talked for hours! You've been warned. Love MMP

Crantastic Grimes! We are trying, but failing, to be human. So we are beasts instead. We begin by catching up with Craig about our Philosopher's Stone movie review and chatting about possible Harry Potter tv shows in the future. Then we move on to our Meet your Messrs question of the day, "Which side character from FBaWtFT do you want to see in Crimes of Grindelwald?". Katie's is mysterious, Craig breaks his own rules, Kate wants a witch hunt, and Laura goes for the cuteness. Now we move on to our Topic, revisiting Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them before seeing Crimes of Grindelwald. We chat about casting politics, deathly Hallows, and hope for the future. Then it's on to a trap Quizzle, a hybrid merc Slytherpuff, a witchy Cast Away, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is all about the jawline. Love MMP

That ham, though. Welcome back to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! Craig is a sick boy, so the lady-messrs are out to play. And by play, we mean talk about Sabrina. We chat about upcoming Quidditch regionals and a certain legalization that occurred in our homeland. Next it's on to our Meet your Messrs question, where we give you a little teaser about our favourite and least favourite thing in the first Harry Potter movie. Craig calls in sick, Laura's is up our Alley, Kate's got crushes, and Katie likes it by the book. Then, we move on to our first in this series of movie reviews. We talk about the Philosopher's Stone, how we first saw it, how our perspectives have changed, what happened to the Potions riddle scene, and Dumbledore's mic drop. If you're anxious to hear the play-by-play, subscribe to our Patreon for our Philosopher's Stone commentary (arriving soon!). After that, we move on to an on-theme Cast Away, a Friendly Slytherin, an Un-Purr-rated Character, and a Kindly Marry/Boff/Kill variant that will give you new life. Love MMP

Imitation is the highest form of laziness It's time for a spooky, Halloween episode of Mischief Managed! We chat about couches and leaked games before continuing on to our Meet your Messrs question, "What character are you most afraid of?". Kate's is obscure, Craig would rather deal with snakes, Katie's is an Edgar suit, and Laura's is way too real. Next it's on to our Topic, where we each spin the tale of our Favourite Murder in the Harry Potterverse. This is a completely new idea and definitely original. Craig's is an enigma, Katie's fills you with for-Bode-ing, Kate's is an epic saga, and Laura teaches valuable lessons. Then it's on to a charming Quizzle, a Community Cast Away, a feline Slytherin, and a Classic Be/Banish/Befriend. Happy Halloween! Love MMP

Protego my Eggo We're back! We're all of us back! And there's a brand new Fantastic Beasts trailer to talk about. We discuss our fears, our hopes, and a newly revealed snake-woman. Then, it's on to our topic: Defending maligned characters in the fandom. Craig is Corn-y, Katie is basic, Kate likes Riddles, and Laura has a soft spot for goons. Then it's on to a familiar but elusive Quizzle, a Marry/Boff/Kill/Drinking Buddy that is indefensible, and an interview with Toronto Quidditch players. Love MMP

Embrace the Viscosity Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast. Kate is mysteriously absent and that leaves two empty, human-shaped husks, and a very sick Laura. We're doing fine, guys. No need to send help. None, at all. We kick off the episode by talking about the Transfigured Town festival in Blyth, Ontario that we'll be attending THIS WEEKEND! Bonnie Wright will be there and Craig will officially get older. We also make a super cool segue from discussing Evanna Lynch's Dancing with the Stars debut, to our Meet your Messrs question: Which character/actor would you pick as your DWTS partner? Katie has a pity pick, Laura's is good at things, and Craig is in it to win it. Then it's on to our Topic which is all about Lavender Brown. We chat about femininity, casting controversy, and being embarrassing. Next it's on to a Canadian Content Cast Away, a Dead Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that'll drive you off the deep end. Love MMP

If you like it than you should have put a Gringott it! - @TheHomelyBaby Here's Ethan back from Vacay comin' at cha with the description for episode 70... Episode 70? Are they serious? How long have I been gone? Have they talked about me at all? Anyways, I'm happy to be back and so are three quarters of the crew. Laura had dragon dung samples to work through and then Kate has to disappear. She reappears later through the magic of editing! We start with our Messrs fawning over being invited to a glamorous 1 year anniversary party for CurioSA. They promise it won't go to their heads seeing as they have a pretty big fudge up that needs to be addressed. Moving on to Meet Your Messrs. What is everyone's favourite quote? Mine's "Hagrid!" - Hermione. And as for everyone else lets just say it was a head master, I mean head scratcher... On to our topic which you can bet your bottom Knut is all about Gringotts! Are there other banks? Investment opportunities? Do Goblins buy lunch? With all of those important questions pondered, they one up the sorting hat by sorting a baby into Slytherin! Sometimes I think they've gone made with power... Then they dig deep in the vaults (HA banking joke) for a Be, Banish, Befriend that'll have you saying, "that's not a Marry, Boff, Kill!" Love MMP

Nobody's Prefect Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast. We have a special guest, our lovely Tess returns and brought an suspiciously quiet Thom along. We chat about some new Harry Potter questions that occur to us in these autumn years. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question where we try to assign a genre of music to our respective Houses. Tess uses her wit, Laura is deeply angry and smart, Craig skips, Katie smashes ladies, and Kate fights for her rights. We continue (as you knew we would) to our topic of the episode: Percy Weasley. We chat about his family life, emotional intelligence, and Kate breaks out in emotions. Then, we FINALLY do a quizzle again now that all four Houses are present. There's a Trek-ish Cast Away, a Gossipy Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill you'll really get to chomp through. Love MMP

Hey everyone, it is the Mischief Managed. Kate is not here again today, but we soldier on, bravely. So of course, we begin the episode with a brutal fight to the death. Then it's on to a Buzzfeed quiz that we use as our Meet your Messrs question: Which Death Eater/Order of the Phoenix combo are you? Laura is old, Craig is underrated, and Katie is secretly Kate. Then it's on to our topic which is all about Astronomy class. What do they learn? Why do they learn it? Can Wizards and Witches claim Mars as their own? Next it's on to a Cast-Away that is nice for Laura, an Incredible Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that's double trouble. Love MMP

Good morning. Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast! There's a new Fantastic Beasts, Crimes of Grindelwald trailer from SDCC and we dive right in with an intro/Meet your Messrs crossover. We chat about what excites us the most, what it means for the series, and also those cat things! Then it's on to our topic where we contrast and compare the two reigning Ministers for Magic in the HP series: Fudge and Scrimgeour. We talk about etymology, governing styles, and sneaking around Comic Con. Then it's on to NOT a quizzle as Gryffindor is not represented, a Giant Cast Away, a Mad Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that requires supervision. Love MMP

It is a hot and sweaty "two week old weather report" for this episode! Laura and Craig talk about Pottering up their new place and Kate tells us where she has been! Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question where we combine the HP universe with another fandom. Kate wants talking animals, Craig knows who he's gonna call, and Laura slays. Then it's on to our topic for the episode which is loosely based on moving but is mostly a collection of random shower thoughts. We touch on guillotines, ghost paperwork, chamberpots, and whale watching. Then it's on to a Shrunken Cast Away, a fun Uncle Underrated Character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill with ... Houses? Have we run out of ideas? Love MMP

Pod-Casting a Spell! It's a low-key, low-attendance sort of episode this time around. Without Kate and Laura, Katie and Craig are forced to be friends. We chat about our newest faves and why we are so alone. Next it's our Meet your Messrs question where we try to answer what we would be doing in the fandom if we didn't podcast. Katie still likes podcasting and Craig likes his shoes. Then it is on to our topic which is all about our experience podcasting for these past few years. We touch on the power of spite, CBC radio, and that we wish we did more research. After that, it's on to a Sith Cast-Away, a Slytherin Francaise, and a few Would You Rather's that are all over the god-damned map. Love MMP

Pride and Non-Prejudice Happy Pride Month to you all! It's another episode of Mischief Managed Podcast with our lovely semi-guest, Jamie. We chat about Miniatures/Bigatures, where Palm Springs really is, and how much we listen to Stephen Fry's voice. Then we go on to a Meet your Messrs question where we get rid of an existing Hogwarts rule or create a new one. Jamie wants dogs, Kate casts a Protective charm, Craig wants magic everywhere, and Katie doesn't want to go to bed. Now we move on to our topic discussion about LGBTQ+ in the Harry Potter world. We talk about the context of Harry Potter when it was written vs our sensibilities today, gender in the Wizarding World, and opportunities for representation. Afterwards, it's on to a smooching Quiz, a many-peopled Cast Away, a short and sweet Slytherin, and a Polyjuiced Marry/Boff/Kill that really, really sucks. Love, MMP

Fashionable and Furious It's another episode! Hurray! We give the two week old weather report and the one week old birthday report. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question where we try to think of Harry Potter merch that we wish existed. Craig wants to disappear, Kate wants to be crushed and then disappear, Laura and Katie like original Ravenclaws. Next it's on to our topic: Fashion in Harry Potter. We talk about best and worst dressed, Yule Ball problems, Death Masks, and the Roaring Twenties. Then it's on to our Ultimate Scots quiz (we promise), a Blonde Slytherin, an Underrated Seamstress, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that'll make you shit your pants. Love MMP

Low and Slow Welcome to another episode of Mischief Managed with a brand new guest, Maria! We begin by getting to know her Potter journey, some odd math and nightmares, then we move on to the world of fashion and culture (Craig's fave). Next we move on to our Meet your Messrs question that asks us to create our own Quidditch team. Laura has some word play, Craig is super gross, Katie is unimaginative, Kate wants to kill us all, and Maria gets granular. We then make it to our topic, which is all about Harry Potter games. We talk about sandwiches, video games, board games, card games, and games that have not yet come to pass. Then it's on to our penultimate Scottish Quick Quotes Quiz, a Masterful Cast-Away switcheroo, a Happy Hufflepuff switcheroo, an Underrated Constellation switcheroo, and a Mysterious Marry/Boff/Kill. Love MMP

it's 100% about immigration We begin with Russia, of course. Then we go into a deep dive on the Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery mobile game. Let's just say it takes a lot of energy. Then it's on to our Meet your Messrs question which asks us what muggle board game we would introduce to our common rooms. Then it's on to our Topic? I guess? We chat about immigration in the Wizarding world, refugees, and the Lion King. Next it's on to another Scots Quizzle, an guest-ish Underrated Character, a Mean Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is probably really good. Love MMP

We got your brain scritches, babes! Oh guys, I'm so tired. This humble dummy left it too long and I'm an exhausted idiot, so my usually delightful summary won't be up to snuff tonight. I know you will forgive me tacitly by watching the episode anyways! We chat about the mobile game release and horrible weather. The Meet your Messrs question is about where we would like to be Storm Stayed in the magical world. The topic is all about the best and worst fan theories we could find. We talk about a magical switcheroo that doesn't make much sense, Crookshanks' past, and who is a babe. Next it's on to a Quibble that I can't really remember right now (but I think it was Scottish), a super Cast Away, a Trekking Slytherin, and a classic Marry/Boff/Kill that is good, in theory. Thanks for 60 episodes, you cute pieces of joy. Love MMP

Avocado Kedavra! It's a rainy Easter day and the Messrs are ready to talk about Harry Potter, eventually. We make our way towards our Meat your Mates where we answer what we would teach wizards and witches about the muggle world. Laura doesn't want to do anything, Katie wants to think it through, Kate wants to inspire, and Craig hands out condoms. Next it's on to our topic: How the Millennial generation would have affected the Wizarding World. We chat about avocados, psychopaths, and craft butterbeer. Then it's on to our super Scots Quizzle, a Rosy Slytherin, a Cursed Underrated Character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that really kicks into gear. That's a good joke. Love MMP

On this episode of Mischief Managed Podcast, we begin with a call to action! Send us suggestions for Katie's new wifi name and we'll make a poll to choose between the best ones. In other news, THE FIRST TRAILER FOR CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD IS HERE! We all talk about our feelings in the intro/Meet your Messrs combo. Kate knows costumes, Katie likes spies, Craig likes beasts, and Laura likes Paris. What don't we like? You'll soon find out. Then it's on to our topic which is a character spotlight on Dolores Umbridge. We chat about her upbringing, why she's such an intriguing villan, and our best and worst Umbridge moments. Then it's on to a very Murray Cast Away, a devilish Slytherin, and a new take on Marry/Boff/Kill that we apply to the best and worst. It's all about dichotomies here, people. Night Night, Love MMP

It's a special episode of Mischief Managed Podcast. We celebrate a birthday and talk about death a lot. Actually it's pretty par for the course. We say hi, quickly, because we're professionals then move on to our Meet your Messrs question, "What would your Deathly Hallow be?". Laura is unobtrusive, Katie is giggling, Craig is insatiable, and Kate wants to be healthy. Then it's on to our topic: How would the story change if major deaths didn't happen. We have some feelings and speculate wildly about what could have been! Then it's a tricksy and true Quizzle, a Recreational Slytherin, an Underrated Chaser, and the first ever Would you Rather. All of this is free!

Hey cuties, it's another MMP in the dead of winter! We talk about all the other podcasts and shows that we've seen lately and then we dive right in to our Meet your Messrs question. Today we answer "Which character do we identify with most?". And we are using our current selves which are SAD because of cold and darkness. Katie is in a tower, Kate likes chicken, Craig is serious, and Laura is his mom. Next it's on to our topic which is Seasonal Affective Disorder/Mental Health in Hogwarts. We talk about making plants, the relative temperature and cloud cover of Scotland and Toronto, and brain melting. Next we move on to a Craigishly quiz, a Kateliness Underrated Character, a Katiean Slytherin and Cast Away, and a Marry/Bonk/Kill that is... real sad.

Take Two It’s deja vu city at Mischief Managed Headquarters as we record half the episode a second time (because of failure). We laugh about it because we are strong. We quickly discuss the game play that we’ve seen so far from Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery and speculate accordingly. Then it’s on to our Meet your Messrs question that comes straight from the Craig’s mouth: “What current/future muggle technology would you be excited about as a Witch or Wizard?”. Laura boldly goes, Katie likes limbs, Craig likes alien, and Kate has 7 answers. Then it’s on to the controversial topic of David Yates comments concerning Dumbledore’s sexuality in the upcoming Fantastic Beasts film. We try to take a calm look at this issue by discussing the importance of representation, the politics of the film industry, our head cannons, and how much uncertainty there still is. Then it’s on to a double Quiz, a SUPER SEXY Cast Away (seriously, look it up), a medical Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that is queer as f&*k. Enjoy the Katie and Craig Friendship Hour! Love MMP

Childishness is next to Godliness We have a familiar sounding special Guest this episode, James! We talk about his journey into Potter and read the wonderful robotically crafted chapter of HP fan fic. Beef women, amirite? Next for our Meet your Messrs question, we try to imagine ourselves as the bad guys. Kate is on brand, Katie shouldn’t teach, James goes for the big bad, and Craig traps Katie. Then it’s on to our topic: Child stars of Harry Potter. We discuss acting ability, casting choice, surprising level-headedness, and what they’re doing now. Then it’s on to an arresting Quizzle, a stand-up Slytherin, a tricky Cast Away, a ye olde Underrated Character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill of pretty ladies. In the end, we introduce Jess (FINALLY) and finish with some Scots! Love MMP

Intelligent (Production) Design We’re back from the holidays and winter has arrived! We also have THE FIRST EVER MISCHIEF MANAGED PODCAST HOUSE CUP RESULTS!!!! So exciting, you guys. We also announce our House Prefects and Head Boy and Girl, listeners who have gone above and beyond in the last year. We love you. We love you like Dumbledore loves socks. EVERYONE LOVES SOCKS. I’m sorry for yelling, but I’m just really happy. Then it’s on to our Meet your Messrs question, where we answer which character we’d like to cosplay. Craig is a silver fox, Kate likes layers, Katie likes make-up, and Laura is on brand. Next we start our topic: Production design in Harry Potter. We discuss places, props, creatures, and other nouns. It’s fun, check it out. Then it’s a tricky Quiz, a switcheroo Cast Away, a switcheroo Slytherin, a well-connected Underrated Character, and a similar Marry/Boff/Kill. Thanks for an amazing year, you cute pieces of cake.

Holiday Episode? No, Topic Down! It’s a cozy day in the not too distant past, and the Messrs gathered to bring you some Holiday cheer! Hurry before Kate falls asleep! We have a short intro, but you know what they say, “No news is good podcasting!” I’m pretty sure I’ve got that right. We move on to a very in-depth Meet your Messrs question, in which we Found a 5th House in Hogwarts. Craig is a Northern loner, Laura likes the moon, Kate likes everything, and Katie is a hidden loner. There is no topic today, because the Messrs need a break, too! So we skip on down to a nerve-racking Quizzle, a kindly Cast Away, a Golden Slytherin, and a Marry/Boff/Kill/Secret Santa that pits four festive pals against each other. Merry Everyone! Love MMP

Our House Cup Runneth Over… It’s a classic MMP with all the Messrs! Laura has seen some Holiday Royalty, Kate still likes Riverdale, and we are solidly “Meh” on Justice League. We touch on the controversial casting and J.K.’s defence before moving on to our Meet your Messrs question. This episode we discuss our pet peeves in the book series. Only Laura understands the question, so points to Ravenclaw! A smooth as hell segue brings us to our topic: The House Points system. How do you get them? Can we accurately describe a cool infogram? What about chocolate? Etc? Next we move on to a woodsy Quizzle, a musical Slytherin, a festive Underrated Character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that’s all about Head(s). Love MMP

With friends like these who needs frenemies? Laura and Craig are back along with our special guest Devon! We catch up with Devon on completing the series and Laura and Craig regale us with vacation stories. SURPRISE FRIENDSHIP BREAK: Our thoughtful super-friends Tess and Thom drop by to wish us a Happy 50th Episode in the best way possible... WITH THEMED CAKE! They truly are too good for this world. After we settle down, we move on to our Meet your Messrs question which is, "If you could be a twin to any character in the series, who would it be?". Kate's answer is smart, Devon's answer is dreamy, Katie breaks the story, Craig wants to be out of the way, and Laura lives the spinster dream before changing her answer like she changes her face. The topic today is all about Friendship so we talk about our favourite friendships from the books, hair potion, and Daniel Radcliffe's farting corpse. Then we continue with a nosey quiz, a Hella good Cast Away, a blood-sucking Slytherin, a long overdue underrated character, and a Marry/Boff/Kill that pits friends against friends. Thanks for sticking by us for 50, you cute, nerdy son's of witches!

Sock it to me! Craig and Laura are off having the TIME OF THEIR LIVES gallivanting across the UK, but DON’T FRET- we brought in the BEST NEW CRAIG AND LAURA! Charlie and Emily are amazing and talented guest additions (seriously, check out their personal creations) and the beautiful, dreamy, special Jamie joins us once again as well! We learn how our new friends got into Harry Potter, their houses n’ hybrids, find out who is Fantastic Beasts and Cursed Child free (!), and are introduced to Jamie’s true job in life- Career in Human. We move on to meet our fancy messers with a question from a Slytherin fan about where in the Harry Potter world would we live? Katie justly cheats with a smart answer, Charlie is logical, Jamie basically goes home, Kate is obvious, and Emily is cozy. Basically, we all win- ONTO THE TOPIC! What’s up with those House Elves, eh? What are they doin’? Where did Spew end up? Does Hermione actually have a flaw?!? We get a bit deep and a bit sad, but round it out in the end with some much needed House Elf love. Oh, Dobby. What a tennis-ball-eyed gem. Then Jamie stumps us all (well, maybe not Katie), we love on a giggly, hormonal, character, learn about a funny, new bookie Slytherin (who’s an actual wizard!), and finish off with a privileged-based MFK. OH AND GUESS WHAT, SOMEONE HERE AUDITIONED FOR THE FILMS. Stick around to hear the story and some great acting skills! Love MMP

Our Hallowed Queen, Caitlin is back and we’re ready to talk about an unfortunate bear, eating garbage on purpose, and the return of Riverdale. For our Meet your Messrs question today, it’s a somber one where we chose a character to save from J.K.’s chopping block. Kate’s choice is sad, Caitlin’s choice is sad, Laura’s choice is sad, Katie’s choice is sad, Craig is a jerk (but then he chooses something sad). Thanks for the bummer, Erin! Then it’s on to our topic which is all about Wizarding travel and vacations. How do they get there? What do they see? Where would they go? How do we get rid of mosquitoes? Now that we’ve settled that, we move on to a tricky Quiz, an appropriate Underrated Character, a sweet HogWord, a Stranger Cast Away, a fairy tale Slytherin, and a Be/Banish/Befriend that won’t be around forever. Love MMP

New guests, time travel, tiny Wizards, Canadian Quidditch, a new logo, and guesting on Hogwarts Radio! Mischief Managed Podcast is back! Never a dull moment with these Winkies. For the Meet your Messrs question, we try to decide on a Dumbledore-style scar that would be useful. Tess isn’t right, Katie wants a phone, Laura wants a phone, Thom wants a phone, Craig grosses us all out, and Tess goes again because she wants a phone. LOOK AT THIS GRAPH. Next it’s on to our topic which is all about magical pets, specifically at Hogwarts. Toads are useless, cats are snuggly, and we want to know what exactly is the function of a magic owl? We touch on animagi, patroni, werewolves, and the ideal magical pet. Then it’s on to our new-ish segment HogWords, a Preppy Cast Away, a Slytherin Captain, and a monsterous Be/Banish/Befriend. Check out The Krulls new album Halloween Monster (available on October 23rd) and the Arcade Nightmare video Love MMP
