    It's time to put Goblet of Fire in the rear-view mirror as we conduct our ceremonial book wrap episode, featuring our 7-Word Chapter Summary redo, 7 Word Book Summary, and more MuggleMail than you can shake a non-plot-holed Portkey at!

Next week we will be hosting an Order of the Phoenix movie watch commentary and on the following show we'll begin Book 5 chapter-by-chapter with new segments! Micah is back from a visit to Scotland! He tells us what he did over there. Andrew and Micah interview actor Joel Meyers, who currently plays Albus Severus Potter in Broadway's Cursed Child! Revisiting our Goblet of Fire 7 Word Chapter Summaries. Book Four 7-Word Summary: Resurrection for Voldemort awakens old echoes past. Two listeners point out that the return Portkey mystery is not a plot-hole, but was part of Voldemort's plan to stay hidden while alive. Is the Dark Mark on the arms of Death Eaters the best kept secret on the part of the dark side from the Ministry? A listener compares Voldemort's return ritual with Barty Crouch Jr.'s specific method for his father's end, and underscores BCJr's daddy issues. Do the Death Eaters keep their D.E. robes nearby in case Voldemort returns? Do they ever wash them? A listener asks, which characters will be the hardest to replace on the HBO Max show, given their film adaptation counterparts?

I love this podcast!

I just found this a couple months ago, and I listed to the first episode and it was fun to hear their predictions for book seven and other stuff. If you are a potterhead then i definitely recommend this podcast.

Great podcast!

This is a really great podcast for any Harry Potter fan. I love that they joke around on the show, and take the liberty to occasionally poke a little fun at JK Rowling. One thing though, is that there are sometimes a few curse words. Of course the worst ones get edited out, but still. I love the hosts (especially Laura!) and almost always have at least one long, hard laugh per episode. Thanks for reading and highly recommended!🙂

Fantastic Podcast

So with a lot more time at my computer (Work from home) I am just getting into podcast. A quick search led me to here. I started with the first few eps (2005) and loved it. A lot of the old stuff felt a bit outdated as we are in 2022, so I just started with Jan 2021, and am going from there. I absolutely love this podcast. In depth about a lot of things, and definitely reminded me of some stuff I've forgotten.

Also it shine's a new perspective on some parts of the story. Absolutely fantastic work. Once i'm all caught up, I might go back and listen to some old stuff, reminisce about the hype I once felt about new stuff. Can't wait to see if we discuss the new game coming out at the end of this yea in any 2022 podcast.

Do you like Harry Potter?

I’ve been listening to MuggleCast on and off for about 16 years now and I still love being transported back to the Wizarding World every week with Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura. This is my favorite Harry Potter podcast.

Chapter by Chapter

Mugglecast is probably the longest running Harry Potter themed Podcast out there, and is probably also one of the longest running Podcasts in all out there, just having celebrated its 18th birthday. And with a fair amount of continuity in the hosts. It is a very enjoyable, entertaining and also informative podcast. They are currently just over a year into doing a Chapter by Chapter detailed discussion of the books, with the full knowledge of how the series ended, and comparing their memories of how various issues appeared to them when they were teens and how they feel about those issues as full adults, with real jobs, families, etc.

Highly recommended.
