Harry Potter fans are flooding social media with the cell phone video of what appears to be "Hagrid", who had his pants and underwear drop to the ground while fighting police trying to handcuff him. You have to be "looney tune" to be as stupid as some of the characters highlighted in the podcast.

In Episode 267 of the Vacationeers Theme Parks & More Podcast, Tom is joined by Jon to talk through a busy week of theme park updates, food reviews, and in-park testing.We start with some “old breaking news,” including Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure no longer being included with Universal Express beginning July 1, plus the news that Bad Bunny will voice a pizza character named Pizza with Sunglasses in Toy Story 5.Then we head into Universal Orlando Resort's opening weekend of Summer at Universal. We discuss the overall event atmosphere, the noticeable lack of a parade, and some of the featured summer food offerings. We also review a newer menu item that is not tied to the summer event but absolutely got our attention: the S'mores Cookie at Cafe 4 in Islands of Adventure.Food discussed in this episode:S'mores Cookie at Cafe 4 in Islands of Adventure — $6.29We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat Platter at Richter's Burger Co. in Universal Studios Florida — $22.99Irene's Creamsicle Cheesecake Calzone at Minion Cafe in Universal Studios Florida — $11.99Finally, we talk about our Magic Kingdom visit on Wednesday, May 13, when the park closed early at 5:30 PM for a private event. Early close days are often rumored to have lighter crowds, so we rope-dropped the park to see if attraction wait times were actually lower.Magic Kingdom ride timing discussed:Big Thunder Mountain Railroad — delayedHaunted Mansion — Posted 13 minutes / Actual 2 minutesJungle Cruise — Posted 5 minutes / Actual 1 minutePirates of the Caribbean — Posted 5 minutes / Actual 1 minuteTiana's Bayou Adventure — Posted 5 minutes / Actual 1 minuteSeven Dwarfs Mine Train — Posted 25 minutes / Actual 24 minutesBuzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin — Posted 25 minutesSpace Mountain — Posted 5 minutes / Actual 13 minutesListen to Vacationeers Theme Parks & More Podcast:https://vacationeerspodcast.com/vacationeers-theme-parks-more-podcast/Merch:https://vacationeerspodcast.com/merch/Follow Tom:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vacationeer_tomTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vacationeers_podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/VacationeersPodcastX / Twitter: https://twitter.com/vacationeertomSo until the next vlog, podcast or livestream, keep making memories.

We meet Sirius Black, and follow Harry through the beginning stages of his story at Privet Drive. He takes the Knight Bus to the Leaky Cauldron and meets Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:01 Set up some goals for the season. 1) Introduce Death Eaters. 2) Explore the Marauders as a means to Harry's past. 3) Deepen Snape's character.·      10:26 We open this season at night.

Hagrid arrives and takes Harry away. We then see·      18:22 Now we see Harry. He's doing homework in his bed like in the film. We see him living at Privet Drive, following the Dursleys' orders and just being all around miserable. His Hogwarts letter arrives with his Hogsmeade permission form, and he strikes a deal with Mr. Dursley. Aunt Marge is coming to visit so if he can behave for her, Mr. Dursley will sign his form. It's game on when Aunt Marge arrives. What a beloved member of their family! Harry cannot believe that he will have to put up with her for so long. The very last night, she pokes and prods about Harry's parents. She seems to be simply inflating in her rampage, and soon she begins to float above the table. Mr. Dursley tries to hold her down, but it's no use. ·      28:30 In a huff, Harry storms out of the house. He goes a few blocks away. He sees the Grim in the bushes and stumbles backward, accidentally calling the Knight Bus. It takes him to the Leaky Cauldron where he meets Fudge, not the expel him but to make sure he's safe. Harry retires to his room at the Leaky Cauldron and reflects on the crazy day he's had. He goes to sleep with thoughts of Sirius Black, Azkaban, and great black dogs swirling through his head. ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

Internet sleuths just pulled permits for a brand new building in the Dark Universe portal at Epic Universe. Building 1570. Area 680. Listed as a special project. And the building numbers line up with exactly the kind of show building you'd need for a new attraction. Mike and EB have a theory about what it is — and it involves a glass bottom boat, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and an idea that Coaster Radio listeners actually designed in a Real Design Contest years ago. If Universal puts a Coaster Radio t-shirt on one of the bodies in that ride, that's all the confirmation the show needs. Before the speculation though — Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure has been removed from Universal Express. The longest line at Epic Universe is now a standby-only experience, and the people paying for Express Pass are not happy about it. Nate Bargatze wants to build a theme park based on his own life in Nashville and EB has thoughts. And RMC's Wild Moose prototype track has appeared at their Idaho headquarters, with the most interesting theory being that it could go indoors at Kentucky Kingdom in the space that used to hold a Schwarzkopf coaster. Then in the second half — the interactive question that started with Verbolten's new overlay at Busch Gardens Williamsburg produces one of the best listener response segments of the season. Rides that could use a refresh. Listeners suggest Journey to Atlantis, Men in Black Alien Attack, Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom, Flight of Fear, Big Thunder Mountain, the Haunted Mansion, Test Track, and the entire frontier area at Cedar Point. Mike and EB debate each one — and somewhere in the Men in Black discussion, EB invents what might be the greatest unused attraction concept in Universal history. Also — EB is going to Kentucky Kingdom on June 10th, there are collectible pins being considered, and the show closes with a detailed discussion of the 1997 horror film Wishmaster that you absolutely did not see coming. Stay through the Patreon section. You'll understand why.

Ottilie, die Opern-EuleWozu muss man lernen, wie sich Eulen, in Operngläser verwandeln?!Ron erfährt, dasss Harry und Hermine seine Glanzleistung beim Quidditch gar nicht mitbekommen haben, vong Grawp wegen. Seine Meinung dazu? Das an Hagrid gegebene Versprechen ist nicht verbindlich und kann nicht eingeklagt werden. Hätte er mal Zauberer-Jura studiert. Die Fünftklässler von Hogwarts drehen am Rad - die ZAG-Prüfungen stehen bevor und alle sind am Vollzeit-Lernen. Allerdings keiner so hart wie Ernie MacMillan, für den Schlaf scheinbar nur noch ein vages Konzept ist. Draco Malfoy hat eine andere Strategie - die Beziehungen seines Vaters werden schon ausreichen, um ihn gut durch die Prüfungen zu bringen. (Stellt sich aber raus, dass Neville Longbottom viel bessere Beziehungen hat. Krass, oder?)Traurige Nachrichten gibt es diese Woche leider auch: Das magische Tierwesen, das Sophia die letzten fünf Jahre betreuen durfte, hat sich verabschiedet. Auf Wiedersehen, kleine Kalli-Maus, lass dir die Himmelsgürkchen gut schmecken!

Snapes magisches Heilmittel.Ooooha. Hagrid hat einen kleinen Brudi. Und dem sollen Harry und Hermine jetzt Manieren beibringen, is ja klar. Dieser Brudi hat n Mondgesicht und Knöchel wie Cricket-Bälle. Und Sophia lernt, dass Cricket und Croquet völlig unterschiedliche Sportarten sind. Was dachtet ihr zu wissen, das sich als völlig falsch rausgestellt hat? Sophia erzählt von einer Fanfiction und traumatisiert Martin. Für immer. Diese Folge ist vielleicht nicht uuuuuunbedingt für Kinder gedacht. Kleine Vorwarnung. Auch nicht für Kinder gedacht: Die Pflege eines illegal in den Wald geschmuggelten Riesen. Ist Hagrid aber egal. Und nach der ersten Vorstellung, die absolut reibungslos verläuft, ist ja genügend Vorarbeit geleistet, dass Harry und Hermine nächstes Mal allein zu Grawp gehen können. Gar kein Ding. Hagrid nimmt die beiden wieder mit zurück, doch unterwegs treffen sie noch auf die Zentauren und Sophia und Martin nehmen das zum Anlass für eine Ethik-Diskussion. Am Ende des Kapitels gibt es noch eine schöne Überraschung - Der Seed-Song wird jetzt von Gryffindor gesungen und Ron Weasley hält den Quidditch-Pokal! (So wie er es im Spiegel Nerhegeb gesehen hat!!!)Und jetzt viel Spaß beim Zuhören!Hier geht's zu unserem Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbB8C00CRs1obJUivo2ZWir haben auch eine Patreon-Seite!Schaut doch mal vorbei, es gibt Bonus-Episoden, Sticker und andere aufregende Dinge!

Harry Potter und die Umbenennung des Verbotenen Waldes​Es ist endlich mal wieder Quidditch-Zeit. Diesmal spielen Gryffindor gegen Ravenclaw. Wenn Gryffindor gewinnt, könnten sie sogar den Gesamtsieg erringen. Aber anstatt sich das Spiel anzuschauen, werden Harry und Hermine von Hagrid abgefangen. Er bittet sie, mit ihm tief in den Verbotenen Wald zu gehen. So häufig, wie die beiden schon dort waren, sollte man wirklich mal darüber nachdenken, ihn in den „nicht ganz so verbotenen Wald“ umzubenennen. Oder vielleicht doch in einen ganz anderen Namen?​Aber was will Hagrid eigentlich im Wald mit den beiden? Tja, das bleibt lange verborgen. Stattdessen erfahren wir, dass Firenze fast von einem wütenden Zentauren-Mob zerstückelt worden wäre und nur noch dank Hagrids Einschreiten lebt.​Aber warum sind sie denn jetzt in diesem Wald? Am Ende kommt es dann doch heraus: Da gibt es nämlich einen „großen Felsen“, um den sich Harry und Hermine an Hagrids statt kümmern sollen. Wie dieser „Fels“ wirklich heißt und warum das alles Hagrids Ansehen bei Umbridge dramatisch sinken lässt, erfahrt ihr in der neuen Folge.Und jetzt viel Spaß beim Zuhören!Hier geht's zu unserem Whatsapp-Kanal: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbB8C00CRs1obJUivo2ZWir haben auch eine Patreon-Seite!Schaut doch mal vorbei, es gibt Bonus-Episoden, Sticker und andere aufregende Dinge!

Potter Revisited Episode #109 Make Hogwarts Great Again AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 11 "The Sorting Hat's New Song" It is such an odd time to be rereading OOTP with its themes of government overreach  Harry sees the Thestrals pulling the carriages when Ron doesn't and is starting to think he is losing it since Luna can see them too  Harry is bottling up a lot of feelings, thoughts and emotions which isn't healthy  Luna says Hagrid is a bad teacher and tbh, she isn't wrong. Ginny, Ron and Harry have a biased view This is one of the only times where Harry is starting the year with people talking about him negatively  Harry notes that the new person at the staff table is the witch from his Ministry Hearing - while Hermione instantly infers that Umbridge is the new DADA teacher The Sorting Hat has a new song that is very different from his usual - explaining the different houses and their preferred traits This song goes into some Founders lore including rifts in friendships, ego clouding judgement and if sorting is actually a good thing and issues a warning that Hogwarts is in danger  Shay has some issues with how the hat generalizes the houses, such as Slytherin's and Hufflepuff's  Dumbledore is scandalously interrupted by Umbridge who gives a weird speech   Umbridge gives off the vibe that she has never spoken to a real child before and comes off very condescending Children should not be friends with teachers / adults, Umbridge!!! Ron and Hermione quickly realize they have Prefect Duties at the end of the feast to attend to Is Ron acting odd about his badge because he feels he doesn't deserve it, or that he doesn't want to rub it in Harry's face that he got it  Or is it more about not wanting to be like Percy, who abandoned the family? Neville is so excited that he knows the password and will be able to remember it Harry is surprised and angry that Seamus' mom doesn't believe him and Dumbledore, and how Seamus is fishing for information on how Cedric died  Dean brings up that is parents don't know what has happened because he hasn't told them - does Hogwarts not inform parents, especially muggle parents? Death of a student would be a big thing to keep hidden We love Ron standing up for Harry. He would throw down if needed  Neville's quiet support of Harry is so nice Harry has people on his side, but is is struggling with having people he has known for years turn against him which is hard  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 11: 0 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited  

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Harry and Ron follow Hagrid's advice. They follow the spiders into the Forbidden Forest and talk to Aragog. Then, they delve into the Chamber of Secrets with Lockhart in toe and face Tom Riddle for the first time. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Listen to Tea Leaves S2 E6 here!·      1:20 Quick Recap and Follow the Spiders. Harry and Ron make their way into the forest after Hagrid tells them to follow the spiders in the last episode. The spiders lead them to Aragog, who tells them the history of Hagrid's expulsion. He reveals that Hagrid is (obviously) not the heir, but that he can't speak of the creature at the castle because it's too terrible.·      18:30 The chaos builds in the castle. Harry and Ron rush to the staff room the next day because they figured it out. But there's a staff meeting at that same time so they hide. McGonagall reveals that Ginny has been taken down to the Chamber, and that Lockhart simply must go down to save her, seeing as he has been talking about he knows everything about the Chamber. Harry and Ron go the Lockhart to help him, but find that he's a fraud. They pressure him at wand point to go with them.·       24:14 The Chamber of Secrets. The version in the books and films is actually pretty good, but there are too things in particular I want to point out. The first is the ancient air of magic. We can't forget that this chamber was made over a thousand years ago by Salazar Slytherin himself. Harry and Ron should realize that, and it should add to the tension. The second thing is adding a moment between Harry and Riddle. Like the fragmented memory we discussed in the last episode. We should see their shared mind. ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Harry sees the memories from Tom Riddle's diary and begins to wonder: who's the real heir of Slytherin? Lockhart throws a Valentine's Day party, and Hermione gets petrified. After Harry and Ron's visit to Hagrid to discuss the basilisk ends in Hagrid arrest, they are resolved to "following the spiders" to finally see the end of this saga. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Listen to Tea Leaves S2 E5 here!·      1:33 Quick Recap and Riddle's first memory. This memory isn't really coherent. It's more to show us who Riddle is and how important he will be. Quick shots of Riddle, maybe standing in the Chamber of Secrets, maybe somewhere in the castle.·      14:17 Polyjuice! This whole saga is going to be fun. The trio takes the potion in the bathroom, and Hermione unfortunately grabbed the wrong kind of hair and becomes a cat. Harry and Ron are still on a timer, however, so they must forge on. They go talk to Malfoy and find that he is not the heir.·      20:55 Valentine's Day. This is a great time for Lockhart to be an idiot. The Great Hall is adorned with a million gift shops of decorations. Ginny sends Harry a singing dwarf.·      23:30 The diary has been stolen. His bed sheets are hanging off the frame and his trunk was rifled through. He finds that the diary has been stolen, and he rushes down to tell Ron, but instead he finds out that Hermione was petrified. ·      28:50 Harry and Ron go talk to Hagrid to get more information on the basilisk that Hermione found out, but he is taken to Azkaban. He tells Harry and Ron to “follow the spiders.” The episode ends with Riddle's second memory. He shows Harry how Hagrid was found out as the heir and was expelled. Harry thinks Riddle is a true Hogwarts hero, but still wonders: how in the world could it be Hagrid? ThePotterDiscussion@gmail.comthepotterdiscussion.comNox

Potter Revisited Episode #108 Very Right and Very Wrong AKA Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 10 "Luna Lovegood" Harry has some odd dreams after the party from the end of last chapter  It is smart of Moody to make sure Harry has a guard for his return to Hogwarts  Shay finds it odd Harry doesn't have a guard for the train We love the chaos of the days preparing to leave for Hogwarts  Fred and George knock Ginny down the stairs in the chaos  Sirius decides to come to Kings Cross as a dog, and Mrs Weasley doesn't care anymore  Lupin says goodbye by giving Harry and co a handshake - is this a british thing?  Ron and Hermione have to go to to the Prefects carriage and Harry is sad about traveling without Ron  Thank god for Ginny taking pity on Harry as she likely has her own friends she could be sitting with Harry thinking lowly of Neville makes Shay mad  We are finally introduced to Luna Lovegood as we love her  Luna is much more eccentric in the books but she is very aware of how she is perceived but will not edit herself to appease people which is nice to see  Neville got a rare plant as a gift from his great uncle, and it is so nice to see Neville's interests appreciated by someone in his family  Shay thinks that Luna and Neville make a good couple  Neville's attempt to show off his plants powers goes poorly when Cho Chang seems Harry and co covered in stinky plant sap  Hermione reveals that Malfoy and Pansy are Slytherin prefects and seems very put out by Pansy being selected rather than Malfoy Shay is very upset about Malfoy being made prefect and for the first time ever - is giving Snape +1 sucks point for it!!!  Harry borrows The Quibbler from Luna and finds an interesting article about Sirius - as adults we can appreciate how funny this is a lot more The Quibbler seems like a satire magazine except that they belief these opinions are true To be fair to the Quibbler, they do proper interviews and back up their opinions with some evidence unlike Rita Skeeter Hermione accidentally insults Luna - They are both such contrasting characters, like foils of each other which make their interactions so fun and interesting. They really are the Sully and Mulder of Hogwarts. Hermione uses logic and evidence to back her opinions, where Luna has faith and belief  Malfoy comes right on schedule to bully Harry as usual - but Harry can't really be bothered by Malfoy's typical schoolyard insults after what he has been through in GoF Harry is very worried when he sees Hagrid is not guiding the first years to Hogwarts  Harry comes face to face with a Thestral - which is he now able to see pulling the carriages for the first time  Harry being able to see them now is likely that he witnessed and processed that Cedric died in front of him, and he wasn't able to do that as an infant for his parents or could it be that he was wearing glasses when he saw Cedric die and wasn't when he was a baby? Malfoy implies he knows about Sirius' dog disguise - Harry is now very concerned about the risk Sirius took  Why do they have the Thestrals pulling the carriages at Hogwarts? Could it be to spot students that may need more support?  We love how Luna seems to be presented as nerodivergent and what it meant to us growing up  Snape Sucks count for Chapter 10: 1 Email any thoughts, questions or feedback to  potterrevisitedpodcast@gmail.com Music: Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Follow Us:  Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/potterrevisited Twitter https://twitter.com/potterevisited Instagram https://www.instagram.com/potterrevisited_/ Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4v2Xt0OIQ8_LCVYhKf2S5A TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@potterrevisited  

On this week's episode, it's time for Slughorn Unfiltered. We're going into the true memory that Dumbledore and Harry have been after, opening a significant path forward in the quest to defeat Voldemort! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 22: After the Burial Is Hagrid being a bad friend by asking the trio to break curfew? This isn't the first time Hagrid has put Harry in danger re: Aragog; we recall moments in Chamber of Secrets which connect. Hermione and Ron's reactions to Harry taking liquid luck still make us giggle. How did Hagrid actually fend off all of Aragog's family to get him to his hut? Is Harry being a bad friend to Hagrid by inviting Slughorn to the funeral, knowing Slughorn wants to turn a profit? Could Harry have gotten Horace's memory without using Felix Felicis? We go through why Harry is successful and what steps are taken which ensure his victory with the memory. Does Horace Slughorn appear again in this book? Does he avoid Harry after this? Odds and Ends discuss the first Potions lesson of the year, which was an important one for both Harry and Draco. Lynx Line: When did you successfully persuade someone to do something they didn't want to do, and how did you do it? Quizzitch: 1 On which Earth continent would you find the world's biggest spider, Theraposa blondi aka “The Goliath Birdeater”? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ophira Eisenberg opens this Parenting Is a Joke episode with a vivid, slightly unhinged comparison between riding Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure at Universal and the physical intensity of having her membranes stripped hours before going into labor, setting the tone for a conversation with comedian Ahri Findling that toggles between bodily reality, parenting anxiety, and the strange logic of creative life. Findling, a dad of a six-year-old and a toddler, gets specific about the social ecosystem of elementary school fundraisers—where comics donate their time while quietly wondering why parents don't just hand over $100 and skip the two-drink minimum—and the unexpected hierarchy created by a fellow parent behind Baked by Melissa. The conversation sharpens around parenting as emotional inheritance: Findling traces his instinct to be an “empath dad” back to his own father while also confronting how that sensitivity collides with raising a daughter who mirrors his anxious tendencies, including a painful playground moment where she interprets two friends arriving together as exclusion. Both comics compare notes on bullying—Findling's experience being severe enough that a hospital visit during his mother's ovarian cancer treatment became the perspective shift that helped him disengage—and how that history now complicates decisions about when to step in versus let kids build resilience. They land on the uneasy truth that many parenting “truths” (like recognizing your baby in a crowd) feel more like propaganda, while also admitting to their own quiet judgments of other parents, especially the late-night subway kids who “should be in bed.” Threaded throughout is the tension of raising kids while pursuing comedy careers that still get mistaken for hobbies, and the low-grade panic of wondering if your child's social milestones—or lack of sleepovers—mean something larger, until Findling reframes it with a kind of reluctant zen: maybe your kid just isn't ready yet, a thought that lingers alongside the image of Ophira gripping those roller coaster handlebars, trying to convince herself to let go.

In this episode, the Sam, Mel and TC discuss the potential relationship between Rubeus Hagrid and the Owner of the Magical Menagerie store. This is a character that was not given a name in the books, so we all set out to name her. What name would you give her and why? (Ours: Cecily, Pila and Unica). Do you think she and Hagrid got along? Did they work together for magical creatures, or against each other? Did she meet Norbert, or help with Buckbeak? Did she help name any of Hagrid's pets?

Check out our affiliated links! Opus clips Partner link: https://www.opus.pro/?via=Nerd   SHOW US SOME LOVE BY SUBSCRIBING TO OUR PATREON! patreon.com/KeepingUpWithTheNerds   This has been an absolute banner week for nerd culture. We've got a lot to unpack, from the streets of Hell's Kitchen to the halls of Hogwarts, and finally, into the depths of deep space.   ​In Issue #291 of Keeping Up With The Nerds, we are diving deep into the massive returns of some of our favorite franchises. Whether you're a Marvel devotee, a Wizarding World fan, or a hard sci-fi nerd, we've got you covered.   ​In this episode: ​Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Premiere: Matt Murdock is back, and the stakes in Fisk's New York have never been higher. We break down that brutal opening on the Northern Star, the shock unmasking, and that unexpected save from Bullseye. Is an uneasy alliance actually happening? ​   Harry Potter HBO Series Trailer: The first look at the reboot is finally here! We discuss the new cast (Nick Frost as Hagrid is a mood!), the 2026 release date, and whether this "faithful adaptation" can capture the magic of the original books all over again. ​Project Hail Mary in 70mm: We just walked out of the theater and... wow. We discuss why seeing Ryan Gosling and Rocky on a massive 70mm screen is the only way to experience this movie. From the incredible sound design to the emotional weight of that friendship, we're giving you our spoiler-free (mostly!) review.   ​Are you locked in for Daredevil season 2? And what do you think of the new Harry Potter casting? Let us know in the comments!

EMERGENCY EARLY POD RELEASE! Our first BIG look at the Harry Potter TV show is here, and it's way earlier AND bigger than expected! The first season of the upcoming TV show is now titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Holy Dumbledore do we have thoughts. Heads up!

Visit Patreon.com/mugglecast and pledge now! Your support helps us cover the TV show. Before we can even analyze the trailer, we have to talk about that title (RIP "Sorcerer"), and the equally surprising release date: Christmas 2026! How many episodes will they release at the launch, and do we expect more episodes on New Years? I guess we won't be taking a break over the holidays... After discussing those developments, we go scene-by-scene through the trailer. One of our big takeaways is that this TV adaptation is being more loyal than the movies ever were! From Petunia cutting Harry's hair to Hagrid knocking three times on the entry doors to Hogwarts, no detail seems to be overlooked. We also discuss the slew of character reveals (Laura thirsts over the new Snape, Eric celebrates the confirmation of Peeves), discuss the familiar-yet-different changes to the look and feel of the Wizarding World,  and point out the little things you may have missed. For example, WTH are Ron and Harry doing running on tables!? Heads up!

On this week's episode, we take another trip down memory lane. Be sure to hide your valuable family heirlooms because there is a thieving Dark Lord lurking. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they do the Hokey Pokey and they turn themselves around... because that's what it's all about! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 20: Lord Voldemort's Request Memory #1: Hepzibah, Hokey & Helga Hufflepuff We debate whether or not Tom Riddle should have been given a post at Hogwarts vs. allowing him to dabble in dark artifacts at Borgin and Burkes Hokey The Scapegoat: we compare how Tom Riddle used her much like he used Morfin and Hagrid! Hepzibah Smith displays some of Hufflepuff's less-than-flattering character traits. Do we agree she is Slughorn "lite" in her behavior? What do we make of the “young, attractive man charming the older, wealthy woman” trope? Memory #2: Awkward Job Interview Given how his appearance has begun to change, does Dumbledore already suspect Horcruxes during Voldemort's trip to Hogwarts? Do we agree with Dumbledore that Voldemort didn't actually come to Hogwarts to get the Defense Against The Dark Arts (DADA) post? Doesn't the Ministry, school governors, and other faculty notice the turnover rate for the DADA position? Why isn't anything done to break the curse? Lynx Line: In an alternate universe where Dumbledore decided to give Tom a second chance, what Hogwarts position should he have offered Tom instead of DADA Professor [wrong answers only]? Quizzitch: In Chapter 20, we learn why Hogwarts cannot have a DADA teacher for more than year. In United States history, which two American Presidents served less than one year in office?

This week on AwesomeCast, Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar bring a travel-heavy, tech-friendly episode that starts with a massive field report from Epic Universe in Orlando and ends with a handful of clever tech and gaming stories. The big headline is simple: if you've been wondering whether Epic Universe is worth the hype, this episode gives you a real user's perspective instead of polished marketing copy.  Sorg and Katie spend a big chunk of the episode walking through their experience at Epic Universe and Islands of Adventure. They talk strategy for entering the park without early-access privileges, how they navigated long waits, why some online advice helped and some of it only created anxiety, and which lands felt the most immersive. Their coverage includes Dark Universe, Harry Potter's Ministry of Magic, Super Nintendo World, and the How to Train Your Dragon area, which may have stolen the show. Food gets plenty of love too, with shoutouts to the butterbeer crepe, mac-and-cheese cone, and Toadstool Cafe.    They also compare Universal's newest park design choices with Disney's standards, especially when it comes to ride throughput, theming detail, and visible wear-and-tear. Later, the conversation expands to Islands of Adventure, where they touch on the nostalgia of Toon Lagoon, the legal oddity of the Marvel section, and the thrills of Hagrid's and Velocicoaster.  Dave Podnar keeps things lighter with his Awesome Thing of the Week: the new McDonald's Happy Meal Crocs. Tiny? Yes. Silly? Absolutely. Weirdly great? Also yes. The team has fun showing off the miniature details, “sport mode,” and QR-game tie-in.  Then comes Chachi Says Video Game Minute, which this week covers a Mario gathering in New York that won't count as a record because Guinness wasn't notified, updated PEGI rating guidance for paid random-item mechanics and blockchain-related content, and a SAG-AFTRA move against Capcom over union protections tied to Mega Man voice work.  The episode also includes a smart Women's History Month spotlight on Hedy Lamarr, with Dave explaining how her work on frequency-hopping communication connects to the foundations of Wi-Fi and wireless communication. It's a great reminder that tech history is full of people whose contributions weren't fully recognized in their own time.  Rounding things out, the crew talks about seeing LEGO smart blocks at Disney Springs, a Switch 2 update that boosts original Switch games in handheld mode, and Payphone Go, a California-only game that turned public payphones into a live scavenger hunt. It's a very AwesomeCast mix: theme parks, gadgets, gaming, weird internet projects, and a little tech history all in one place.

This week, the hosts discuss the ethics of commanding your House-Elf to tail your enemy. Why isn't Kreacher punishing himself for being so rude to Harry, when Dobby couldn't do the same about his masters? And, have any of us ever worried about being replaced like Ron does after missing out on the Quidditch match due to being poisoned? All these discussion points and more on the latest episode of our Chapter-by-Chapter analysis for Half-Blood Prince. Welcome to the show Slug Club member Stef! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 19: Elf Tails How is it that Kreacher can speak ill of his master, Harry? When Dobby struggled hard to do so? Has Kreacher been bending the rules due to technicality? Does Peeves operate an underground House-Elf fight club? How is he so tuned in to Dobby and Kreacher's fight?... And how does he follow them? Ethically, is Harry asking the elves to follow Draco sound? Should there be limits to what you can ask your House-Elf to do? What alternatives might Harry have used to track Draco - how about a magical AirTag? Is Draco's plan too convoluted to work? Where do we stand on the Dumbledore vs Snape argument that Hagrid overhears? This week's Lynx Line: Have we ever felt in danger of becoming replaced? How did we handle it? MVP of the week has us creating new Quidditch nicknames for Harry, inspired by Draco's. Our weekly Quizzitch segment returns (now with 800% more 14-year-olds.)

JC: ICE comes in the middle of the night to take Hagrid, basically. LK: Where are they taking him? What are they charging him with? Harry demonstrates something that is painfully real and current: he's so upset by all of this that he gets three hours of extremely poor-quality sleep the night before his History of Magic exam, so that exam is doomed.

Elizabeth returns to wrap up Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. We discuss the final few scenes of the production, which include our characters watching Voldy kill James & Lily, Hagrid finding baby Harry in the wreckage, Albus & Scorpius recognizing their individual growth, and Harry & Albus finally connecting while paying respects to Cedric.

Mike and EB are BACK from their most triumphant Central Florida adventure, and they've got stories that'll make your feet hurt just listening. Six parks. Four days. One cursed ride that refused to open (looking at you, Stardust Racers).   This week, the guys kick things off with Mike's absolutely unhinged hotel check-in saga at Cabana Bay. Then it's off to Islands of Adventure, where a wedding-day detour turned into a full-on theme park sprint — Spider-Man, VelociCoaster, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and The Mummy, all knocked out before anyone had to put on a suit.   Plus: why the Bourne Stuntacular will blow your mind, how Mike accidentally became a Villains-Con Minion Blast addict, and what happens when you ride King Kong alone after two Fire Whiskeys. (Spoiler: there's yelling.) Big news, quick hits, and a juicy SeaWorld tease are all in the mix too.

The bullying that Grawp was suffering (that Hagrid had to save him from) is a result of colonization and displacement because giants were not meant to be in such close quarters. They've been attacking and killing each other because they weren't meant to be crammed into wherever they've escaped to, but there's nowhere else for a giant to go. This is about land rights and displacement. For full show notes, transcripts, ways to contact the hosts or support the show, and more, visit hpafter2020.com.

This week, Andrew, Micah and Laura enter a new era of MuggleCast, as we kick off the first in a series of monthly episodes focused on the new Harry Potter TV Show. The Trio talk about the latest news, lay down some predictions and play some new games! Set photos of the TV Show's Hogwarts Courtyard have leaked: will these new House Sigil Hedges come to life? Laura and Micah react to Ravenclaw's sigil finally being an eagle! How much are the show's creators taking inspiration from Hogwarts Legacy? Beyond The Books: Lox Pratt, the actor playing Young Draco, says we'll be seeing Draco at Malfoy Manor in the first season! Nick Frost manifested getting the role of Hagrid by writing Hagrid 7,000 times while watching the movies. He also took up knitting!

Send a textIn this episode, we begin the second season of our version of the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:54 Let's set some goals. 1) Explore Hogwarts. We haven't seen the whole grounds by now, and there is so much more history to explore. 2) Develop relationships. Especially for arcs like Snape and Harry, beginning to see their relationship take form will lead to a huge payoff later on. 3) Begin Voldemort's arc. Tom Riddle is the main villain of this book, and we can use his past and memories to understand a little more about Voldemort. This Tom Riddle feels almost closer to the Goblet of Fire Voldemort than the back-of-the-head thing from last book.·      10:33 We begin in the days of old. That's what I wrote in my notebook. We should begin with the founders of Hogwarts and their dynamics. Salazar Slytherin wanted to keep Hogwarts for pure-blood students and that's why he was cast out, leading to the creation of the Chamber. ·      18:15 Moving forward through time. As the founders fall into the legend, the Chamber falls into legend with it. We lose a little bit of the gravitas if we snap forward in time and skip over the thousand years in the middle. We should end this section with Hagrid and Tom Riddle's time at Hogwarts, and seeing the Chamber open for the first time.·      25:24 Now we move into the present day. But not with Harry. The diary Riddle was the driving force in the Chamber, but something had to have worked in the background for that to happen. It would make sense for Voldemort himself to have given Lucius the diary and sent him off to get the gears turning.Having anything you want to hear or say?

Außerdem wird Geruch direkt verkostet. Das ist sehr toll. Viel Spaß!PS: Schaut für das Gewinnspiel bei Instagram (@hagridshuette_official) vorbei :)

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the finale to season one in our version of the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      Listen to Tea Leaves S1 E7 here!·      1:40 Quick recap and Harry waking up in the hospital wing. Dumbledore comes to see him and explains what went down. I like that they discussed Harry's family and why Quirrell was turned to dust when he touches Harry. However, it would be super beneficial for the story to discuss Voldemort's journey and Flamel's choices more.·      14:14 Harry heads down to the feast. All exams have been cancelled, and Dumbledore gives his speech. It should be lighthearted, but I want to get some hints of the darkness to come. Neville gets his ten point that gives Gryffindor the house cup, beginning a wonderful arc.·      20:05 Packing up. This is the quiet peace of the episode because it's been so crazy for so long. Hogwarts is a huge place, but it is also incredibly personal. I want a few minutes to walk the grounds one last time and live in this world.·      24:45 Leaving Hogwarts. We aren't going to end the season at Hogsmeade station, but Hagrid's goodbye should still mean something. The trio bords the train and watches as Hogwarts fades away. When they get off in London, they say their goodbyes to each other and the cameras pan out to see everyone having their same conversations, and we fade out.Having anything you want to hear or say?

In the 280th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave are ready to chat about the Wizarding World... but first, the Star Wars... To open up, both are set with their Guardians of the Galaxy Lightning Lanes for their upcoming trip with Upon a Star Team! Then... the big news that Original Trilogy Star Wars is coming to Disneyland's Galaxy's Edge - Han, Luke, Leia, Vader, with John Williams music, as Disney seeks to redo a little theming and timelines in the SW areas.  Plus, a quick look at the sequel trilogy and why this move maybe should have been done years ago (we've been screaming it!) Then, focusing on the Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter in Universal Orlando!  We discuss our own relationships to the Potterverse - reading the books, watching the movies, and impressions on seeing the first Potter area in Islands of Adventure many years ago.  Then, a look at Hogsmeade, along with Hogwarts Castle and Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure over in Islands, then Diagon Alley, with Gringott's ride and Nocturn Alley in Universal Studios, and finally, the Parisian theming and the Ministry of Magic, plus the circus show and that French cafe that we forgot the name of, all over in Epic Universe. It's not nearly as comprensive as it could be - that would take many hours - but it's a great overview of what you can expect at the Wizarding Worlds - plus how you can (and should) ride the Hogwarts Express! 

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 teachers be required to eat meals in the Great Hall? Some appear to be skipping out. A comment from Hermione makes Harry warm, and may ignite some fires in the shipping community. Do we pity Ron for his need to show off and overcompensate? What Hermione does at Quidditch practice is highly risky. Why does she take the chance when she could be exposed? 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. Should the kids have to lie about another teacher just to make Hagrid feel better about himself? Our MVP segment has us ranking the beasts that Hagrid introduced the trio to.

From the very first pages of Harry Potter, Hagrid is full of mysteries — his size, his umbrella, his expulsion… but there's one moment that has quietly confused readers for decades. When Hagrid retrieves Harry from the Hut on the Rock, he claims he “flew” there.  But… how? In this video, we break down every possible way Hagrid could have reached the island, using only canon evidence from across all seven books. We examine flying motorbikes, broomsticks, Thestrals, magic carpets, Floo Powder, dragons, and even some of the wizarding world's rarest magical creatures.. This is the one Hagrid question that never gets answered on the page…  until now! Special Thanks to @jakob_henkel for this video suggestion!
