  • Summary

  • MuggleCast is your weekly ride into the Wizarding World. Our Harry Potter podcast, hosted by four life-long friends, brings its listeners entertaining and thought-provoking discussions about the universe. With each new episode we discuss everything Harry Potter: the latest news, the Potter books, Fantastic Beasts, the theme parks, the video games, the fandom, and more! The show is currently hosting a Chapter by Chapter re-read of the original seven Harry Potter books! The MuggleCast feed also presents a brand new show: What the Hype?! This podcast is the class you always wanted, but were never offered in school! Each week, a panel of pop culture junkies educate each other on today’s biggest books, shows, movies, and more. No matter your experience, there’s something for everyone. Total Noob? We'll educate you on why the fandom took off and what makes someone a true fan! Already an expert? We’ll just see about that! Our subsequent episodes will take you on a deep dive and really test your stan-hood! And, if you’re somewhere in the middle, teetering on the edge of fandom, we’ll show you What The Hype is all about!

  • Should We Feel Sorry for Petunia Dursley? And more MuggleMail

    Should We Feel Sorry for Petunia Dursley? And more MuggleMail
    Nov 5 2024
    Join Andrew, Eric, Laura and Micah as we dive into the Muggle Mailbag and respond to listener feedback from the first five chapters of our Order of the Phoenix reread! Visit our new online store for can’t-miss items that are one of a kind! MuggleCastMerch.com Voicemails cover what Hermione would be like in grad school, and a theory as to why the Cursed Child runtime keeps being shortened in America. An astute listener writes in about the historical name origins of the wizengamot! We are all impressed. Ron wearing the locket in Book 7 has the same exact feelings we see Harry have in early Book 5. Other topics include: Why Salazar Slytherin may have chosen emeralds as a house gem, whether we should feel sorry for Petunia Dursley, why Nearly Headless Nick should still be frozen, and Harry’s sparse security detail. A fun What If… segment and Chicken Soup for the MuggleCast Soul round out the discussion. Finally, our Lynx Line benefit exclusively for Patrons has them sharing their overall thoughts on Book 5 so far. Next week’s Quizzitch question: How many Halloween feasts do we see Harry attend during his time at Hogwarts? This episode is brought to you by Better Help.

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.
