APRIL FOOLS!!!
In case you didn't realize it by now, we decided to spend the day coming up with lots of fun news stories that could probably happen in the Wizarding World (Yes, including sex scandals, alcohol abuse, and steroid use). Thanks goes out to Emerson, Micah, and Matt for writing these stories.Also, for all of you MuggleCast listeners, the announcement that we'd be putting Twilight, Lord of the Rings, and Narnia discussions into our show was a prank. We fooled lots of you, and we feel bad for those people who e-mailed us lengthly explanations for why it was a really good/bad idea. We'd NEVER bore you with those other books.
We hope you enjoyed all of the stories for this year's April Fools, not to mention Fred and George's birthday!

I would laugh if THIS was an April Fool's joke and that MuggleCast actually was changing... but then I'd cry... :( FIRST!
Great April Fools jokes. They were all very funny. You guys always do great April Fools stuff =]
Lol!! Yay Happy April Fool's day! I almost fell for the joke last year, so I was a little more cautious this year =D
YAY! Mugglecast isn't changing...I actually believed them...I'm so naive. Anyoo, great pranks! =]]

:( i wanted a twilight section in mugglecast... i reckoned it was fake after the star wars and micah's upsetness
A JOKE! noooo! really? id never have ever guessed...
Aww man... I really wanted to go on Hagrid's game show :(
YESSSSSSS! I knew MuggleCast was joking but I'm still really happy!!!
OMG. I completely believed the whole MuggleCast thing. I can't believe I fell for it! Ok, that had to be one of the best pranks by MuggleNet ever! I'd rank it second, after the LeakyMug. Wow!
Good joke guys. I really enjoyed the stories. Who knows maybe some of them will come true? LOL :) Happy birthday George And RIP Fred!
lol I love you guys ya'll made me smile throughout the day. about the other books podcast i rlly believed it i actually went and checked out all the books excepts for the twilight series since i have them and i read them b4 anyone even knew whart they were. but i already started lord of the rings and narnia i havnt started spiderwivk lol but at least i finally had a reason to read lotr that was the only reason i had never read them and now i am actually into it lol thanks guys =)
u know i kind of believed the mugglecast one for awhile, didn't even see it coming, although a twilight podcast in the future??? good idea, i think so!
hahaha good job guys. that must've taken a lot of work. and i'm not gonna lie, i still hadn't made up my mind if the mugglecast thing was true.
dang i would actually have loved more mugglecast even if it was about those other books cant believe i fell for it
I didn't fall or any of the stories. (I kinda hoped the WiPhone thing was real. That would have been so cool!) I thought the one with Ginny was hilarios! When I told my friend today was Fred and George's birthdays she said, "Really? Cool!". Happy birthday to both and like the person before me, RIP Fred.
ha ha ha....i knew that MC thing was their april fools joke! And the way people went on about it...it was funny! I loved Micah's little rant on the show...lol. Anyways, good job on the april fools jokes guys! Later!
Dangit I didn't even think about April Fool's for MC!! Fell for that one, lol But otherwise good job Mugglenet for the stories!!
OMG NOooooo wayy
Oh my God, they soooooooo f-ing had me with the MuggleCast one.
MuggleNet is amazing. I have to admit, one of those stories did have me fooled, aha. And the MuggleCast one was good, too.
You guys are awesome!! I kept checking my computer all day to see if new ones were posted. I loved the stories, they were great. My favorite was the tv series one. I really want that to happen!! LOL. Overall, you guys did a great job!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRED AND GEORGE!! We miss you a lot Fred! I know George is playing the biggest prank on Ron in your memory. =)
I fell for the MC one, when I read the show notes. I screamed. Then I listened to the episode- I could tell it was their April Fools Joke. Mugglenet/MuggleCast Never fails to entertain.
I kinda figured MC was a joke but I was still a teensy bit scared. But darn! I was looking forward to the new animated series! =(
Some really funny jokes yall .
Very good for all the muggles (that also means me). This is something the Twins would do if they could. You guys have a very good sense of humor, let's continue to make people smile and feel good about themselves.
NOOOOOOOOOO...I mean YEEEEEEEEES!! TOTALLY fell for the MC one. It wasn't funny enough to be a prank! gAaAhHH! I feel stupid. But I'm glad MC is still on; it made me really sad. =(
I CANNOT BELIEVE I FELL FOR THAT!!! That Mugglecast is going to do all these other sections...I knew it'd cause controversy caus you guys are meant to be ending...but my GOD..I was about to force myself to actually read Twilight!!! Well, I still will...but MY GOD I AM STUPID!!! I fell for the "Book 7 early" thing last year aswell!! ::D
My heart plummeted deeeeep into my stomach when I listened to the podcast. I was pretty dumbstruck that you were going to branch out and though Micah (bless his heart) needed to speak up more, lol. *KISSES MUGGLECAST* THANK YOU FOR NOT DOING THE OTHER BOOKS!
OMGGG!! THANK U!! I WAS JUST ABOUT 2 DIE AFTER THE NARNIA THING ... and after reading the "encyclopedia posts" i was practically ready 2 burn all my hp bookss ... but thank goodness it was just a prank :)
I forgot to say Happy birthday to my favorite Weasley twins. Yall both are the best when it comes to pranks and jokes. RIP Fred Weasley I will miss you.
AAAHHHH!! That was a JOKE?!??!? You got me!!! I was so freaking pissed off, I was about to write a very long letter saying why it was an extremely stupid idea. But now you've saved me about 10 minutes. Good one, it was very convincing, and the only April Fools joke I fell for.
Well, I guess I really did fall for something today. The MuggleCast one was very convincing.. lol
when i heard the mugglecast thing on mugglecast i started crying. no lie. i was like harry potter fandom really is dieing and really is changing and i cryed a lot that day at that sad detail. But thank the lord! & andrew that it was a joke because it would have crushed my world!!!!!!! Again big HAPPY APRIL FOOLS && A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY AT FRED AND GEORGE!
AHA! GOOD JOB GUYS!
I was totally pwnd by the MC joke, despite having just laffed at the jokes on MNet before listening to 139. I did get the joke-within-a-joke of Micah pretending to be outraged. You guys completely RULE!!!!
Aww. And I had worked so hard to convince myself that the quartered-version of MuggleCast would actually be okay in the end. (:
I can't believe I fell for the Mugglecast joke! ahh. I feel so stupid now. I even told my co-workers what was going on..and trying to convince myself that I would still listen....I should of guess it was a joke when Micah said he'd be leaving the show. Good Job for making me feel stupid! haha =)
wow... needless to say i got fooled good. and was one of those lengthy emails... touche...touche. as that was the only april fools joke that actually got me this year... next time do it ON april day, no in march-ish territory!! haha, good job
Ah, I totally fell for the MuggleCast joke. I was a bit outraged, actually. I'm so glad it's not changing!
concerning mugglecast: THANK GOD mugglenet always has the best pranks
I actually fell for the mugglecast april fools joke. That was a good one...I think a lot of people actually believed it. But, if in the future you guys decided to do a Twilight podcast I would Totally listen.:)
Thank god. i hated that idea. :] lol. i love mugglecasttt!
haha, great joke as usual MuggleNet. But I have to say, my favorite April Fool's joke was when MuggleNet pretended they had been shut down. I almost died when I typed in the page and it said it had been deleted!
When I saw the announcement about the format change, I was concerned for about five seconds ("well, there's two hours of podcast down to twenty minutes of relevance."), then I read the comments page, and was mollified. I saw the announcement about the encyclopedia, and I rolled my eyes and said, "another advance read joke." Fortunately, none of your fake news stories actually followed up on that. (Except the first one.)
