Join Andrew, Eric, Micah, and Laura for career advice, a few cough drops, and plenty of laughs. Plus, things get slightly unhinged as we're upping the sexy factor for every character in the new Harry Potter TV show! News: Hogwarts? More like HOTwarts! The new Harry Potter TV Show announces nine new actors, including Draco, Molly, and the Dursleys! And the internet has feelings about the Vernon and Petunia actors. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 29: Career Advice. Our Time Turner segment takes us back to Episode 466 of MuggleCast, titled “Weasleys Victorious.” Harry feels betrayed and disillusioned after witnessing James's behavior. Is it fair to let this one memory define James as a character? Should Harry have shared the contents of the memory with Ron and Hermione? Could McGonagall or Hagrid have helped to ground him a bit? Snape's Worst Memory explains quite a bit, but it doesn't validate his treatment of Harry! Should Harry feel bad for Snape? Despite the author's commentary, some of us are still befuddled as to how memories viewed in the Pensieve are unbiased. Mirror, Mirror: why didn't Harry remember Sirius' gift? And why didn't Sirius point this out to Harry during their Floo conversation? Super Petty Snape: the symbolism of him smashing Harry's Invigoration Draught MAX THAT entire Career Advice scene between McGonagall and Umbridge! It's nice to see McGonagall balance encouragement with realism when giving Harry advice. But is too much emphasis being put on O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s? Make the Real Life Connection: Did the hosts ever have career conversations like Harry  when we were in school? Should Umbridge even be present for Harry's career consultation? We discuss the "sirius" risk(s) Harry took by breaking into Umbridge's office! Does the conversation with Sirius & Lupin actually do anything to reassure Harry? The Great Weasley Escape and... Hot Peeves?! The hosts share the best advice Harry actually receives in this chapter! In our Lynx Line segment for the week, we ask our Patrons what's really going through McGonagall's head as she is constantly interrupted by Umbridge? Quizzitch: Filch seeks approval for whipping from Umbridge. The sound of a bullwhip cracking is caused by what specific thing occurring with the whip?   Learn more about your ad choices.

Today Ben dives into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to try and answer an unsuspecting question. Are Severus Snape and Viktor Krum secretly brothers?  At first glance, it sounds completely bonkers… until you look at the shockingly similar physical descriptions, sketchy parental backstories, and eerily shared behaviors. In this deep-dive Harry Potter theory, we explore whether Snape's muggle father, Tobias Snape, could have abandoned Eileen Prince… only to start a second family in Bulgaria. That's right—could Krum and Snape actually share a parent without ever knowing it? From hooked noses to brilliant muggle-born crushes, the signs are everywhere if you know where to look..

Professor Julian Wamble, who we first had on our show back in 2023 on MuggleCast #619, once more graces us with his presence as we discuss Chapter 28 of Order of the Phoenix, "Snape's Worst Memory." Julian teaches Political Science at George Washington University, and his podcast Critical Magic Theory as well as Instagram and TikTok content are worth checking out! Welcome back to the show, Professor Julian Wamble! News: Tom Felton to reprise his role as Draco Malfoy, in New York's production of Cursed Child! Chapter-by-Chapter returns with Chapter 28 of Order of the Phoenix, "Snape's Worst Memory." Our Time Turner segment takes us back to Episode 465 of MuggleCast, titled "How I Met Your Mother." How are we going to top that title on *this* re-read? (Speaking of reading, here is that episode's transcript.) Umbridge's ascent to headmistress of Hogwarts has some classic authoritarian playbook strategies. The hosts dissect. Is the appointment of the Inquisitorial Squad merely a natural response to the thought that Dumbledore was raising an army? Andrew explains. We look at what Umbridge promised Filch, and consider whether she intends to keep those promises. Harry would've been poisoned, if it weren't for a singularly interesting cat... that reminds us of a scene from Deathly Hallows... Would Snape have actually given truth serum to Umbridge, and why not? The hosts discuss his loyalties. Fred and George have a perfect tonic for Umbridge's control, and it perfectly exploits her vulnerabilities. It's a good thing Harry's Occlumency lesson is interrupted... because he didn't do the homework! What makes Harry enter the pensieve despite how dangerous the threat of being caught is? What Marauders' personality traits did the hosts most enjoy on this readthrough? How will the Harry Potter TV show handle Snape's Worst Memory? Professor Wamble has thoughts. Are there more traits between Harry and his dad, or Harry and his mom, and what are they? The hosts pick a favorite moment of mayhem from this chapter. In our Lynx Line segment for the week, we ask our Patrons to build their own Inquisitorial Squad to serve a purpose at Hogwarts that is currently underserved, and ask what the team would do.

The full cast for HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot has finally been revealed—and fans have opinions. From a brand-new Molly Weasley and a surprisingly slim Vernon Dursley to a controversial choice for Severus Snape, we're breaking down every confirmed actor and character announced so far.Who's playing Dumbledore, McGonagall, Draco Malfoy, Hagrid, and more? Why is the internet mad about the new Snape? And did they really cast a BAFTA-winning comedian as Vernon?

There's a rumor floating around the internet that Paapa Essiedu is OUT as Severus Snape in the HBO reboot. If he is -- did he get fired over the backlash, or did he CHOOSE to leave BECAUSE of the backlash? If the rumor is true, that is...

The new Harry Potter trio has been cast, and just like the play -- Hermione is black. Did you expect them to NOT do that? However, this could complicate some plot points just like with Snape. Hermione is often called a "Mudblood" by the Malfoys. Now it's gonna have a racial bent to it. Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

Rowling, whose recent actions along with the continued assault on the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide, warrant further discussion. We are joined by a guest who is an ethicist, philosopher and college instructor, and all of our hosts dive head-first into sharing their feelings on what is happening. And to lead off our discussion, we cover the topic of the casting of the new trio for HBO's upcoming TV series. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. Receive 10% off your first month of therapy at BetterHelp.com/mugglecast News: Harry, Ron and Hermione have now been cast in HBO's Harry Potter TV series! The hosts react. Welcome to the podcast, Sunny Williams! Sunny's roots in fandom and wizard rock, and her impressive academic career, make her a perfect fit for our episode today. We revisit the topic of J.K. Rowling, whose new 'Women's Fund' will help advance anti-trans legal cases. Our previous episodes that addressed the author were Episode 447b and Episode 469, both worth a re-listen. The hosts share their thoughts on the last 5 years of disappointment, from infinite double-downs to behavior that is antithetical to the works which we celebrate. Eric takes us through the most recent year in anti-trans legislation, featuring two huge pseudoscientific reports, not peer reviewed and forcefully discredited by major medical organizations, which are nevertheless being used to strip transgender people from accessing healthcare through legislation. The actual science is so in-favor of trans people receiving healthcare, that its opponents have suggested other ways of measuring its efficiency, like whether receivers currently have a job. Rowling's astonishing cruelty is on display daily on X, and her initiatives and gender-policing have been shown to affect ALL women, as the rise on assaults of women in rest areas has grown around hostility towards anyone seen as gender non-conforming by strangers empowered to act. The hosts use scenarios from the Potter books to illustrate what's presently happening. Sunny guides us through the ethics of financially supporting problematic creators, with thoughts from Socrates, Hannah Arendt, Henry David Thoreau, and others! To wrap, we discuss our continued strategy for keeping the fandom progressive and inclusive. Next week, a return to Chapter-by-Chapter will see us introduced to another bully, as it's time to experience Chapter 28, “Snape's Worst Memory.” Learn more about your ad choices.

HBO has announced the actors playing the three leads of Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger in its new adaptation of the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the Battle of Hogwarts in the TV show. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:09 The charge of the houselves. This moment is only in the book, but is impactful. Kreacher has finally found something that he believes in, and it would be a shame if his arc ends without that final resolution of charging into battle. This shows us that everyone is involved. ·      10:21 Fred's death. This is one of the most shocking deaths in the battle because it represents the death of Harry's past. Fred was full of life and humor with so much ahead of him, but that all came to an end. We don't even get to see it in the film, despite the fact that it is a big moment in the book.·      15:56 Peeves. He is famously left out of the films, but he has been cast in the TV show. Peeves in fighting on the front lines along with all the rest of the students. This is impactful because he was once the thorn in the side of the castle, but know he puts his jokes aside to stand and fight. It highlights just how important this battle is.·      19:39 The epic final showdown. It is epic in the film, but it's not the same as the book. As cool as it is to watch, I prefer the sequence in the book because of the symbolic nature of the Great Hall and the more final sense in the air.·      24:23 Details that we should include, or not. The flying duel in the air is super weird. They crash into the castle and Voldemort squishes their heads together? I'm good. Harry breaking the elder wand in the film is a great detail that should be included in the TV show. I also want to have a more effective explanation for the transfer of ownership of the elder wand, because it was the motivation for Snape's murder.Having anything you want to hear or say?

Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 26: Seen and Unforseen. MuggleCast last discussed this chapter on Episode 463! 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.

The new actor for Severus Snape, Paapa Essiedu, kinda stuck to to JK Rowling by signing an open letter in direct opposition to her opinions on trans issues and women's rights. But he's still cashing the checks from working on the franchise. And people want JK to fire him for it -- but she admits she CAN'T. That's really interesting. Rowling clearly doesn't have the power to oversee this Harry Potter series like she did the movies. Hmm.... Watch this podcast episode on YouTube and all major podcast hosts including Spotify.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss some of the major castings that HBO recently confirmed. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      2:17 Still nothing on the trio? We've already heard a lot surrounding other characters, and now we have confirmed other casting. But the series revolves around Harry, Ron, and Hermione, not these others. They are still important, but why would HBO cast the trio last? Perhaps they are going to dive into the past more…·      9:38 More past? If we have castings of characters that have an important role in the past events of the story, that might mean that the filmmakers are going to give us more of that backstory. Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape are some of the most important people for the lore of Harry Potter. That must mean something.·      16:29 These choices are overall good. They all have the look and their interviews and previous roles are in support of their choices. My only worry is with Paapa Essiedu. He has a very active energy that could be put to good use, but thinking of Snape, energetic doesn't come to mind. Alan Rickman portrayed a very cool and stoic Snape to a perfect degree. I don't want to put Essiedu in a box, but that portrayal is going to be hard to top.·      23:45 I want Voldemort! There have been no whispers about who he might be, other than perhaps Cillian Murphy which will probably not come to pass. He is the center of the conflict of the story and the one who drives it forward. Without him, there is little to be had when it comes to backstory and plot. We should be afraid of him. He should be a deadly calm that breaks into madness. When will we find an actor like that?Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.

Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss why certain scenes shouldn't have been from Harry's perspective. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:50 James and Lily's murder. This scene is pretty blurry and vague because it's from Harry's perspective. Now that we know what's going, seeing what Voldemort is feeling and how he is defeated would mean more than shots of a baby. This scene from Lily or James would show us how they stood fast and fought for their family and gave their lives so Harry could go on.·      11:21 The sorting ceremony. This is a smaller moment, but we could consider it the beginning of Harry's journey. We should be able to see Dumbledore and how he acknowledges this as the true commencement of the second war against Voldemort.·      16:15 The graveyard. This is Voldemort's big moment and his return. Who else to show us how Voldemort is feeling than the big man himself? After thirteen years of suffering, he can finally walk on his own two feet again and bring darkness to the world. We would learn something about him if we could experience his triumph.·      21:17 The Battle of the Ministry of Magic. Sirius, Bellatrix, Dumbledore, or Voldemort would be such a better choice than Harry! We could begin with him, but once the fighting starts, seeing the duels from Harry's eyes is pretty lame. ·      26:48 Dumbledore's death. This is the climax of Snape and Voldemort's plan. Snape kills Dumbledore to cement his place by Voldemort's side. Notice how Harry isn't really involved? Yeah. Snape's eyes are really the only ones we should be seeing through in this scene. He is forced to kill his mentor and protector, and move into the final stages of their plan. This is the end of their friendship and the end of Dumbledore's life. Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text.

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? And hey! It looks like Dumbledore has been doing something after all! in banning Harry from Quidditch, does she give Harry more free time to plot against her? Lynx Line: If you had to chant something at Malfoy to distract him while playing Quidditch, what would it be?

Chapter-by-Chapter continues with  Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 17: Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four. Our Time Turner segment takes us back to Episode 453 for our prior Chapter 17 analysis! The walls of freedom are closing in around Harry and his friends. Once again the hosts reflect on how the chapter, and Umbridge, applies to modern day US politics. Since Hermione has revealed that she jinxed the DA sign-up sheet, do we now think her actions were untoward? Do we feel bad for Marietta? Laura asks: Were we ever part of a student group that got disbanded? Umbridge unfairly allows Slytherin to continue playing Quidditch, while keeping Gryffindor in review. Is this in effort to control Harry? Hedwig's injury causes a stir, and McGonagall tries again to warn Harry what is happening at Hogwarts. Should magical animals be able to better communicate with humans? Is there a spell for that? Neville snaps. Is he justified in going after Draco? Will Draco ever learn? Umbridge v. Snape leaves us short of needing a mop or shovel. What did we learn from their encounter in Potions? Sirius delivers Molly's message. Is it fair for her to ask Ron not to participate in the DA? Is she living in the same world as everyone else? Odds and Ends covers Fred and George's latest (successful) attempt to obey school rules, and Crookshanks' love for Sirius.

Did Dumbledore know the Ministry would pass midnight legislation if he did not fill the DADA vacancy? Did he choose not to act? Do we think the Ministry SHOULD have greater oversight into Hogwarts?
