MuggleCast

Happy 18th Birthday MuggleCast! ✨ We’ve been celebrating all weekend at @LeakyCon by meeting all of you! Thank you for eighteen years of laughs, friendship, theorizing, and love! 💚

If Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 hit theaters today, what do you think the limited-edition popcorn bucket be? 🍿 Hermionie's purse? The snitch? A camping tent? Nagini???

Setting up a giant white tent for a secret wedding? Seems Bill & Fleur were onto something. But, we have to admit... T&T's security plan was *slightly* more successful. 🤷‍♀️ Photo 1: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1/ Warner Bros. Photo 2: Angela Weiss/AFP via Getty

#NewEpisodeAlert This week, we’re talking about all the latest updates and news surrounding the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series, with special guest and Patron, Ivana! And, as always, we couldn’t help making a prediction or two. 🔮 When do YOU think we’ll get the next trailer?

You know what they say: you don't know what you've got till it's gone. Dumbledore...the final bite of a Cheesy Gordita Crunch... Both gone too soon. 🕯️🌮 #HBP #SnapeKilledDumbledore

After months of discussion, debate, and the occasional rant, we've reached the end of our Half-Blood Prince Chapter-by-Chapter series! Tune in to Episode 757 as we close the book (literally) on Half-Blood Prince and prepare for Deathly Hallows. #MuggleCast #HPTalk #HarryPotter

No, we're not repeating what Andrew said. We're trying not to get banned. 😏 You'll have to listen to the full episode for that. But more importantly... Would you still love us if we were flobberworms? 🪱❤️

Snape: knock knock Flitwick: 😵‍💫💫 So let’s get this straight. Snape knocks out a coworker for… protection. Welp. Still the bravest man we’ve ever known. 🥇

Remember turning the final page of Half-Blood Prince and seeing those three letters for the first time? 👀 What was your R.A.B. theory back in the day? Any crackpot predictions we should revisit before we finish Book 6?

Everything's gonna change now, isn't it? 😢 Dumbledore is dead. The Horcrux was a fake. Death Eaters are inside Hogwarts. And now, Snape has escaped. Don’t miss this week’s MuggleCast, as we begin the final stretch of Half-Blood Prince.

Eric and Micah would like to remind you that this is your LAST CHANCE to order the Year 5 MuggleCast Collectors Club stickers ⚡️ That’s right, 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦, you can finally complete the set! Patrons, you MUST fill out the order form by Wed., June 10.

It's time for us to once again remind Universal that they’re sitting on a GOLDMINE as we discuss Chapter 27 of Half-Blood Prince, "The Lightning-Struck Tower." 50 house points to whoever can remember what year we first envisioned “Dumbledore’s Astronomy Tower of Terror.” ✨🎢

It’s a surprise LeakyMug with the latest fandom updates! If you’ve been missing the golden age of HP speculation, analysis, and crackpot theories, this is the episode for you. ⚡️ Check it out now, wherever you listen to podcasts 🎙️

Somehow half of our panel had NEVER seen Harry Potter Puppet Pals. So naturally, we forced—er, invited—them to watch the first five episodes live on mic. Catch it on month’s Bonus MuggleCast, available now to Patrons! (Not a Patron yet? 🪄 Join today at Patreon.com/MuggleCast)

We promise this isn’t what it sounds like. Okay… maybe it is. 🙃 Tune into Episode 752 to hear both highly elevated literary analysis and also some 🍆 jokes. #MakeMuggleCastWeirdAgain #YoureWelcome

Dumbledore kept a lot from Harry over the years. The whole “you’re a wizard” thing, then the prophecy, then the Horcruxes, then the Hallows… But was the cruelest secret he kept the fact that Snape played a role in Lily and James’ murder?

THEY’RE HERE! 🎉 The MuggleCast Collectors Club stickers for Year 5 are officially available for patrons to reserve now. Available to both current and new patrons (who join by June 10). Visit Patreon.com/MuggleCast for all the details!

Also, here's another post for this week: Is Snape being unfair to Harry? Almost always, yes. But after Harry uses Sectumsempra on Draco? It's possible, Snape went too easy on him. ⚡ Episode 750 is NOW LIVE and we're discussing one of the most brutal moments in Harry Potter.

As you’ve likely heard by now… the MuggleNet we grew up with is gone. So in Bonus MuggleCast, we’re talking about our MuggleNet memories. Tune in as we share how we got our start, our favorite recurring sections, and why losing all of that history like this… really sucks.
