While the crew debates whether Harry can finish the job in the final book, just what were James and Lily's occupations? How is it that Harry can fight the Imperius Curse so easily - does it depend on the power of the wizard? And look out! We got a real cat fight on our hands as McGonagall takes on Umbridge, and a battle of Ministers as Fudge battles Scrimgeour in the Dueling Club. Plus, are the Marauders dying in reverse order? Advice is even offered for those in need.
From a look back on the year that was to New Year's resolutions and anticipation of things to come...all that and more ahead with Andrew, Ben, Eric, Kevin, Laura, and Micah on this week's edition of MuggleCast. Happy New Year!

On our December 25th, 2005 edition of MuggleCast...
If there is so much to talk about concerning Christmas in the Harry Potter series, just why do we know so little about Professor Sinistra and her Astronomy class? Are a person's Patronus and Animagus form the same? Is Tom Felton too different from Draco's character to be a success in later films? And while the crew debates the disappearance of Harry's scar upon the fall of the Dark Lord, will the veil and Sirius' mirror reappear in the Final Book? Plus, who initiated contact first: Wormtail or Voldemort?
From MuggleCast Christmas stories to song parodies...all that and more ahead with Andrew, Ben, Eric, Kevin, Jamie, and Laura on this week's edition of MuggleCast.

The Brit is back! And he weighs in on everything from Miss Granger to Las Vegas. While Hermione's role in the final book remains undecided, just how has Emma's role in the movies skewed people's perception of the character? And how much of a coincidence is it that Hermione's Patronus has a connection to Ron's family? Plus, the return of Jamie's British Joke of the Day.

Snape: good or evil, bat or spider? Is JKR pulling a fast one on the fans by leaving clues INSIDE clues, or are we reading too much into it? The cast goes around the table with their opinions on Snape's loyalty (or lack thereof) to both sides of the war. Kevin, Laura, and Eric look at His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass to premiere the book review segment, and we debate over which characters would win in a duel.
