  • Scout the Route! (OOTP Chapter 7, The Ministry of Magic)

    Scout the Route! (OOTP Chapter 7, The Ministry of Magic)
    Nov 19 2024
    Aren’t government buildings exciting? This week, the MuggleCasters jog their memories of how to do public transit because it’s time to go to the Ministry for Harry’s disciplinary hearing! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they discuss Chapter 7 of Order of the Phoenix, “The Ministry of Magic.” Show announcements including what’s going on over at #Millennial and What the Hype?! as well as a unique gift idea for the upcoming Holidays. HP TV Show news! Actor Mark Rylance is reportedly a top pick for Dumbledore by the creators of the show. We can see it. Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7: The Ministry of Magic. And our Time Turner segment has us spinning some old recordings from past discussions! Be sure to check out Episode 440 and Episode 240 for prior Chapter 7 analysis! For their journey to the Ministry, why does Arthur go it alone? Does it put Harry at undue risk? How come Arthur didn’t know where he was going, and why wouldn’t he plan it in advance? Micah comes for Arthur including his job title versus his lack of demonstrated competence with Muggle things. We are shook. How would a wizard react to public transit apps? Do we think the Muggle entrance to the M.O.M. has been updated since the 1990s? The hosts compare the Ministry fountains between books 5 and 7, with keen insight. Somebody get everyone some coffee! It’s just another day at work for most people. Seeing Arthur’s office in person, we cannot help but feel like Percy may have had a point. We adore the many layers of Arthur and Kingsley’s work conversation. Odds and Ends include the first mention of Scrimgeour, the Quibbler, and more! Lynx Line: What floor of the Ministry of Magic would our Patrons most like to party on? Quizzitch: What is Amelia Bones’ middle name? Reminder! The MuggleCast Merch Store is now open! Grab brand-new, original MuggleCast designs. We have t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, hats, and more!

Have we ever been in a situation where an adult forbade us from talking to our friends after hearing something they deemed inappropriate? Does Molly not understand how kids work? Forbidding them from staying up to talk is the best way to ensure they absolutely do that! Your putting those doxies WHERE?! What happens to these immobilized creatures? Are they permanently paralyzed? STOP RINGING THAT DAMN DOORBELL!!! Has Mundungus ever proven his value to the Order?

  • 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.
