MuggleCast #118: Controversy
- We discuss the impact of Equus coming to Broadway.
- The Lexicon Lawsuit is making a lot of press and we respond.
- Should the book hit store shelves or do WB and JKR have a point?
- We address some listener rebuttals, most of which focus on Dumbledore being gay.
- One listener asks us how to handle parents who are now considering banning the books from her.

okay i seriously didn't understand a word u said.
the post i posted before the one above this right? it somwhow posted here when i pressed it down one post.... and only half of it showed up... its wierd..... understand?
i don't know about you, but i like the uncutness. more real. but i love the onscheduleness of mugglecast! i was about to die for those two weeks without it. seriously, i was listening to the really old epsiodes to get my fix.
no. i didn't understand a word of this: kkk sorry wrong post!! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ to i dont e how... :S i wanst even here.. and it posted heer.. :S
well i refraisd it rite THERE!! >>>>>>the post i posted before the one above this right? it somwhow posted here when i pressed it down one post.... and only half of it showed up... its wierd..... understand?
yess i heard it! i was re-listening i can't believe i didn't notice the first time! and they actually were kind of explicit in this and 117. which is kind of refreshing after all this g-ratedness. but i think eric should re-read books six and seven because there were so many double entendres in the final two. LOL.
right. i still don't get wat this means: "to i dont e how." or this: "i wanst even here.. and it posted heer.."
"to i dont e how." was supposed to say "tho i dont noe how" and "i wanst even here.. and it posted heer.."was suppposed to say " i wasn't even here... and it posted here" understand?
wait i still don't understand. say that again, slowly.

New podcast! I'm very happy, and I can't wait to listen, but I'm a bit concerned. Look, I'm all for uncut episodes, but last week and this week's are a little out of hand. The F word? Guys, try and keep it PG-rated, or give a warning. I know some quite young listeners, and they are a bit confused by your recent lack of censorship. Sorry for the sour note, as I am... well... read my username! lol =) Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the Lexicon issue!
I never get a chance to listen to Mugglecast. Either I'm chasing my baby around or trying to clean the black hole called my house. Sometimes I stay up until like 3 in the morning so I can try to listen to them... and about 2 minutes through my baby wakes up : ( I don't see anything wrong with the cussing in them, but they probably should let people know when there is cussing. I know I wouldn't want my kid listening to people cuss, although I don't have the nicest language myself sometimes : /
where does she exactly say the "f" word (not that im looking for it or anything jw)
Laura has a brainfart around 43:30 and says the F-word. She's not saying it in a vulgar way, she's using it out of inner frustration because she can't articulate what she's trying to say. I would like the episodes better if they were more uncut and honest like the last two have been.
On jkrowling.com i was able to take the wombat test again!! It gives you the result Immediately!! But you don't get any type of certificate.
I'm catholic, I am a very young Harry Potter fan but my parents aren't banning me from the books!!!
I love listening to MuggleCast, but I haven't enjoyed it as much the last two weeks because there is almost virtually no discussion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! I'd like the discussions to move on to Deathly Hallows instead of dwelling on "Dumbledore's Gay!" for 10 episodes. That's just my opinion. I love it when the discussion is Deathly Hallows!
HELLO!
