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!

hi hello hey, we finally got our Hogwarts letters!!! Okay, not really, but our long-awaited trip (a year and a half in the making!) finally happened. We took Rare with Flair to Universal Studios Florida and spent two magical days exploring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We're not superfans, per se, but we absolutely adore the cozy vibe of a well-told story about best friends adventuring in a beautiful fantasy world. Naturally, we showed up in full house-pride outfits—Casey in Ravenclaw blue, Cassandra and Anaheim proudly repping Gryffindor—and soaked up all the details: the whimsical storefronts, the classic British fare, and the iconic sweets like chocolate frogs. In this episode, we also get into what the accommodations process is like at Universal, what it's like navigating a theme park with a service dog, and how two blind girls (and one stellar guide dog) made an A+ navigational team. Come hang out with us and relive all the magic! related episodes For more episodes where we get to record in the same room (!!!): 32. reunited at the happiest place on earth! our Disney trip in 2021 57. live from memphis: recording together for the first time! when Cass visited Case in Tennessee for her 30th in 2022 103. live from columbus: recapping our amazing weekend when Case visited Cass in Ohio in 2024 120. still alive but barely breathing lmao: ats recap our time at the American Thoracic Society in 2025 Case & Cass embracing their inner wizard in Diagon Alley, 2025 show notes Cass talked about Universal’s disability access process which was really smooth, so if you’re going to Universal with a disability be sure to check it out!

Noch einmal Teenager sein...Hier 1.000 Gründe, warum damals eben NICHT alles besser war.Harrys Date mit Cho kommt zum Höhepunkt (oder eher Tiefpunkt) bei Madame Puddifoot's, einem kleinen Café in Hogsmeade, das Harry noch nie gesehen hat und sich anfühlt wie das Büro von Umbridge und bei dem Sophia überlegt, ob sie mal das Gesundheitsamt vorbeischicken sollte. Beste Voraussetzungen! Das Date scheint größtenteils aus peinlichem Schweigen zu bestehen (unterbrochen von hygienischen Albträumen). Gut, Harry und Cho flirten zwischendurch auch ein bisschen, aber hauptsächlich werden sie Zeugen, wie Roger Davies (der Quidditch Kapitän von Ravenclaw) sein namenloses Date lautstark knutscht (SCHLABBERGERÄUSCHE?!?!?!?!) und dann bricht alles zusammen, als Cho Harry slutshamet. Katastrophe. Eine steile Abwährtsfahrt von peinlich zu schlimm. (Potenzieller Titel für meine Autobiografie?) Ich muss weg.

This is it — the final Halloween episode of the season and the crew goes out with a full stomach and zero chill. We kick things off with a Kelly Fact that blew our minds: trick-or-treating traces back to medieval “souls cakes”, when folks went door-to-door offering prayers for the dead in exchange for cake. FNBob immediately wants the recipe; Henvincible warns it sounds like another questionable British dish. Next, FNBob casually flexes his new academic cred — a doctorate in Meta Physics — and reminds everyone he's also an ordained minister now (because why not). Costume roll call: FNBob rocks a Hogwarts dropout Ravenclaw look, Henvincible is Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer, and Kelly turns heads in an inflated Fall Guy suit. Adulting turtles the conversation into taxes, car headaches, and bad drivers — but mostly we talk food. The crew goes full “fat asses” mode tasting and debating halal spots, and FNBob teases a Chicago food map he's building to crown the city's best bites. Real Chicago foodie tea gets spilled: tavern-style pizza is a tourist term, Southsiders judge restaurants by “how's the fish,” and the eternal debate — turkey tips as rib replacements — explodes into comic fury. Henvincible mentions cauliflower pizza and FNBob has a meltdown you'll want to hear. It's the perfect mix of history, costumes, food, and the kind of ridiculous arguments only the Nonsense crew could sustain. Final jack-o'-lantern: lit. Final bite: messy. Final laugh: guaranteed. ⭐ Show Highlights Kelly Fact: the medieval origin of souls cake → trick-or-treating's wild roots. FNBob's new flex: Doctorate in Meta Physics + ordained minister status. Costume show-and-tell: Ravenclaw dropout, Tanjiro Kamado, and an inflated Fall Guy. Adulting rage: taxes, cars, and Chicago driving nightmares. FNBob's upcoming Chicago food map — tour-worthy recommendations incoming. South Side food rules: restaurants judged by “How's the fish?” Food fight: turkey tips vs pork ribs (spoiler: it gets heated). Cauliflower pizza mention sparks FNBob's culinary meltdown — comedic gold. ❓ Question of the Day Are turkey tips a worthy stand-in for pork ribs — sacrilege or smart swap? (Explain your take!)

In this Prof Response episode on Ravenclaw House, Professor Julian Wamble dives deep into the themes and tensions raised in the post-episode chat, centering on a surprising consensus: curiosity—though not canonically attributed to Ravenclaw—emerged as a defining trait in the community's discussion. Listeners debate whether curiosity without moral grounding can become dangerous, examine its role in shaping intellectual pursuits, and compare characters like Hermione, Luna, Lockhart, and Barty Crouch Jr. as case studies in “Ravenclaw-ness.” The episode also unpacks the limits of the house stereotype, exploring how intellect, wit, creativity, and individualism manifest on a spectrum rather than in a fixed mold. A particularly rich section challenges Luna's status as a “quintessential Ravenclaw,” probing why her peers reject her despite fans' reverence.Finally, Prof. Wamble bridges to next week's Slytherin episode with an exploration of the “Slytherclaw” overlap—how both houses share cunning, strategy, and ambition, yet differ in whether they prize process or performance. The result is an expansive reflection on how curiosity fuels, complicates, and sometimes undermines the Ravenclaw identity.

Is curiosity always noble? In this episode of Critical Magic Theory, Professor Julian Wamble dives into Ravenclaw House and the complicated legacy of curiosity. With survey responses pouring in—especially from Ravenclaws themselves—we explore how this house is defined less by traditional academic achievement and more by a hunger to know.We look at characters like Luna Lovegood, Arthur Weasley, and Helena Ravenclaw to explore how curiosity can be creative, condescending, or even corrosive—shaped by ego, power, or envy.We also ask why Luna has become the quintessential Ravenclaw in the public imagination, and what it means that her unfiltered wonder sits in tension with a house so often associated with polished intellect. Ultimately, we argue that curiosity, like loyalty, must be anchored. Because when it isn't, it can radicalize, isolate, or be weaponized in dangerous ways.So whether you're a Ravenclaw, curious about Ravenclaws, or just nosy (no shame), join us as we unpack what it really means to be in the house of intellect—and why the question isn't how much you want to know, but why you want to know it.Special thanks to our new Patreon Deep Divers: Chanin, Hannah, Missy

Welcome back to Critical Magic Theory! In this house series premiere, Professor Julian Wamble kicks things off with a deep dive into one of the most beloved—and most misunderstood—Hogwarts houses: Hufflepuff. Why is Hufflepuff both the house most admired and most maligned? Why do so many love it in theory but reject it in practice? With wit, vulnerability, and a touch of statistical spice, Julian explores how fandom has filled in the gaps left by canon—sometimes in empowering ways, and sometimes through romanticization that borders on erasure.We examine which characters across houses embody Hufflepuff values, and interrogate how loyalty, fairness, and kindness can be corrupted when unexamined. The final reflection flips the usual narrative, delving into the dark side of Hufflepuff—revealing what happens when virtues are applied without critical thought. From Ernie Macmillan's gossip to Bellatrix's twisted devotion, this episode has it all.

Could Hermione have been a little softer on Harry concerning Cho? Does she share any blame for double-booking him in Hogsmeade? Hermione criticizes her friends reactions to the outcome of the Quidditch match. Does she have any fun outlets? Harry is having FOMO watching Ravenclaw vs. Gryffindor. But let's face it, it's not easy watching from the sidelines! Shockingly, Snape comes the closest he ever has to actually caring about teaching Harry Occlumency, but... of course... has to have the last laugh! We draw comparisons between Lupin teaching Harry the Patronus Charm and Snape teaching Harry Occlumency. Should Harry be farther along given he's been at this for two months? How did Harry get through the Department of Mysteries door during his Occlumency lesson when he's never been there in his dreams? The hosts agree that Dumbledore had Firenze in his back pocket to take over for Trelawney. Who did Dumbledore have on tap as a replacement for Hagrid? Voldemort finally learns only he or Harry can retrieve the prophecy. How is this not more common knowledge in the Wizarding World? How would've things been different if Voldemort never wasted time with this plan? Harry has direct line of sight into Voldemort's plan with Lucius Malfoy, Sturgis Podmore, Broderick Bode and Avery.

Join Andrew, Eric, Laura and Micah as they discuss the line between bullying and fair play, and analyze whether Umbridge is making enemies of the whole school. News: The Harry Potter TV show on HBO has cast its Snape and McGonagall, and the HP illustrated editions now have their new illustrator. Chapter by Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 19: The Lion and the Serpent. MuggleCast last discussed the chapter on Episode 455! Hermione reveals the dark origins of her idea for the enchanted Galleons. Why wasn't she sorted into Ravenclaw, we also wonder? Andrew says coins are easy to lose, and the other hosts weigh in. Where is the line between sportsmanship and bullying? We feel for Ron, but wonder if any of the Slytherins' behavior is okay. What makes Draco SO extra? Is he compensating for being an unskilled Quidditch player? Did Umbridge put Draco up to the taunting, in order to get Harry & co. expelled?? is McGonagall's punishment more fitting than Umbridge's?
