MuggleCast #117: Butterbeer by the Keg
- Dumbledore is gay - initial thoughts from the hosts!
- Eric gives us a full report on MuggleCast LIVE in Australia!
- We go over each of the questions answered at the October 19th reading in NYC.
- Andrew, Laura, and Micah talk about meeting Jo. (Yes, life is now complete.)
- Should Jo have revealed Dumbledore's sexuality?
- Why does it matter, and why is it front-page news?
- The hosts become quite opinionated when it comes to fans who act as though Dumbledore being gay tarnishes his character.
All that and much more comes in this very entertaining and important episode of MuggleCast. We want to warn listeners that this episode does contain mature discussion and nothing within the show should be taken personally if it were to offend you (which we're pretty sure it won't).
With that said, we recommend subscribing for free in iTunes if you're a new listener (current listeners: update your feed). Full shownotes and alternate download links can be found over at the MuggleCast website. Enjoy!

SOME1 TELL ME WHATS IS MUGGLE CAST?!?!?! and why has eric gone down under??
hey!!! gtg to school BLAHHH
hp_nerd_4lyfe, mugglecast is a Podcast. If you have iTunes you can download these "shows" where people talk about stuff. Mugglecast talks about all things Harry Potter. Down Under is the nickname for Australia. So all they are saying is that Eric went to Australia.
hiya cheesecakians!!
hey becky! im here :] . anyone else here?
heya! are you feeling better?
yahh :] thanks for asking. but its freeezziiingg! ah. well not in this building but outside it is. i want to go home and drink some hot chocolate :P lol how are youu today?
i am doing good, i just finished some hot chocolate! it is very very cold out!!! brrrrrr!! i am bored at work like always, they havent given me stuff to do in ages! so do you have any more volleyball tournaments or are you done for the year?
well im done with tournament. well im pretty sure we are. we have our states game but we will prolly lose that. lol BUT if we win then we go to a states tournament. THEN it will be the end. lol. i might do club volleyball if i can find someone to sponsoer me.
lol well i hope you win the states games, that would be cool!!! ok this sounds a bit weird, but what you need to do is watch the local news and take notice of local businesses that advertise (not mdconalds or target, but car dealers and other businesses that are only in your area) then you ask them to sponsor you. normally local businesses want to be involved in the community and get their name out there. so find a car dealer or carpet place or travel agent, something like that. does that make sense?
mmmhmm. acutally that is what my coach said. ill try that if my old coach cant help. she said that she is gonna ask the guy who kinda runs all that stuff cause he knows him. and if i win, ill come straight on mugglenet and tell you guys :] seirously, i dont know how long it has been since Carrick won a states game. its been foreverr.
yeah you better tell us if you guys make it to states!!! :-) you never what could happen!!! when i was in marching band it had ben like 20 years since we had made regional finals and my sophmore year we did. if you need help with getting a sponsor i can give you tips, i sold tv and radio advertisements for awhile, so i know how to deal with business owners and stuff.
aw! thats awesome! go marching band. and yes! you wil be my favorite :] it will be tough tho doing volleyball and bball at the same time. but a lot of ppl do it so why cant i? lol
you play basketball too? awesome! does your season start soon? In Michigan they recently passed a law saying that all female sports have to be at the same time as the male sport is played. girls and boys bball were played at different parts of the year and so were a few other sports. now they have changed the girls schedules to match the boys and so many people are upset about it. girls that use to play 2 or 3 sports now can only play 1 becuz everything is at the same time. it was so stupid to change
wow. well girls and boy basketball are during the same season, which is just starting now. boys and girls volleyball are diff seasons. soccer is the same season. baseball/softball are also during the same season.. i hate that volleyball and soccer are during the smae season because i cant play it.
awe i am sorry!!! i cant remember what everyones season use to be when i was in school. anyways, i gotta go get some lunch. so i will talk t oyou later!!! bye bye
ohk! bye! i just sitt here all alone. haha sike my lunch is in 10 mins. anywayss. lol
Ah, the Dumbledore-is-gay-ness continues. :D Tarnishes his character? Being gay does not "tarnish" ANYone's character. It has NOTHING TO DO with character! It is not a "bad thing!!!" Oh, my. I despise anti-homosexuality-ness. It is utterly senseless.
lets just leave it alone, PLEASE! no more drama!
WOOO! I listened, and I just have to say that this was one of my favorite mugglecasts yet.:) i was really happy with it! I love andrew!
leave the poll that way :D its just right!! poor dumbeldore, falling for a person who turned out to be evil and then having to duel him and defeat him. the man knew nothing but heartbreak in his life. what with all the tragedies in his family and his unrequited love. and still, he was great, he was sensible and serene and smart and selfless and caring and funny. dumbeldore rocks
wow. I finally got time to listen to it, and they make sense. I am a Christian, and I believe that now Dumbledore being gay is fine with me. Well, can't wait for the next one.
BOO!
so, who on mugglecast is gay/bi then...because Andrew said some of the people are...
MY FAVORITE MUGGLECAST EVERRR!!!! thank you so much for keeping it all in!
I bet you guys are right, remus could definitely be gay.
About other HP characters being gay, I sometimes got the impression that Wormtail was gay for James. I think after Lily and James got married, Wormtail decided to betray them for that reason. I do not think Lupin is gay AT ALL. I really don't see it.
I wanted to clear something up about my previous post: I don't think the SOUL reason Wormtail betrayed the Potters was because he realized he had no chance with James, but one of the contributions towards his betrayal.
I just felt like pointing out that I always agree with everything laura says. She rocks. :]
CHEESECAKIANS: MEET AT 6:00 PM EST (eastern standard time) AT THE SECOND NEWS STORY ON NOVEMBER 1ST. WE SHALL CELEBRATE HARRY POTTER DAY THERE. PASS ON THE WORD TO ALL CHEESECAKIANS!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
I have to say, the best part is the "Gold Digger/ Soulja Boy" part. That cracks me up. I go back and listen that part because it's so funny.
People, chillax. Dumbledore was never married or in love with anyone. So how the heck can JKR say he's g**? :D Problem solved. G**ness is just a stupid concept, I think ...!
GOOOO SOLJA BOY i hate this song
haha i listened to it it was soo funny, loved them singing crank that. and of course LeCock-"was Dumbledore there?" LOVED IT! LOL!!!! i find it quite ironic though that they are wondering why Dumbledore being gay is such a big deal, yet they dedicate a whole show to it....?? still it was a great show!
