A Little About Me: I'm your textbook Harry Potter fan; loved it the moment I read the first book. I've finished High School and I am now unemployed (very temporarily) while I wait to hear from university. I became a MuggleCast transcriber in January 2009 and went on to become an editor in July. I now deal with the final edits of all the shows transcripts, giving them the finishing touches. MuggleCast has been a regular part of my life since around episode fifty or so and I've loved every minute of it. I am from New Zealand (not Australia), I enjoy gaming, technology in all its forms, reading and of course, podcasts.

A Little Bit About Me: I’ve been a fan of Harry Potter since I was about 8 years old, and now I’m just a little bit too obsessed—everyone who’s ever met me knows that I am totally in love with the series, and knows to never say that Twilight is better than Harry Potter in my presence. I started listening to MuggleCast in fall of 2007 and I now listen religiously. Some of my hobbies are reading, going on the internet, hanging out with my friends and procrastinating.

A Little About Me: My love for the Potter series began shortly after the release of Goblet of Fire. After I was done reading the first four books about a dozen times each and leaving their covers the worse for wear, I stumbled across the fan site awards on Jo’s site. MuggleNet --> Click --> And the rest as they say was history ;). I’ve been an ardent listener of MuggleCast for about a year now and have gotten hooked onto the Twilight series as a result ;). I’ve been a MuggleCast transcriber since February 2009. When not scouring MuggleNet to fulfill my craving for more HP related news or transcribing, I spend my time reading mangas like Naruto, Bleach and Vampire Knight to name a few.

A Little About Me: I've been a transcriber for MuggleCast since February 2007. I just finished up my second year at the University of South Dakota; I'm double majoring in Biology and Anthropology. Besides Harry Potter, I am also interested in my studies, American pottery, geology, keeping my two Girl Scout troops running and active, and being outdoors. I started listening to MuggleCast when it first came out and became hooked right away, I haven't missed an episode since. Being a transcriber has given me a great opportunity to meet other Potter fans and given my family an opportunity to quit being forced to listen to all my theories and speculations.

A Little About Me: My aunt first read Sorcerer's Stone to me when I was 8 and I have been in love with the books ever since. I began listening to MuggleCast when it was first started so I was really excited to become a transcriber. I'm a college student and I work part-time as a photographer. I love to laugh. I'm always experimenting with different hairstyles. My favorite football team is the Indianapolis Colts. I also enjoy shopping, playing with my dog, listening to music, and eating out with friends.

A Little About Me: I can't really remember when I became a major Harry Potter fan, but I think it was sometime before the second movie. I did an internet search for 'Harry Potter' to find out when the CoS was coming out, and I found MuggleNet. So now I'm an editor for MuggleCast. As for the non-HP related stuff...I'm short, quiet, and somewhat rude at times. I think that about covers it for now.

A Little About Me: One of the only good things to come out of 6th grade was Harry Potter, which our teacher read to us, and was my introduction to the world of Harry Potter. Ever since then Harry Potter has become a big part of my life and I love participating in the HP fandom. Besides Harry Potter I love listening to hip hop and R&B music, so my iPod is always near. I also love to rap in my spare time. Watching movies has become a hobby of mine after I took a Film as Literature class in high school (thanks Mr. Burrows!). I’m also big on sports, I support the Golden State Warriors, San Francisco 49ers, Minnesota Vikings, San Francisco Giants, and Boston Red Sox to death. Other than that I’m just a pretty quiet, shy guy who loves to laugh and let the good times roll.

About Me: Hey! My name's Ashlee. I'm 16 and I love transcribing!! :) I love MuggleSpace too, and I am a moderator for their chat. I have two cats and a dog. Harry Potter is basically my stress outlet. When I'm stressed, I read or watch the movies and the stress melts away. Thanks JKR! I love to chat on Skype with my new-found BFFs (two of which are transcribers Ellen and Kristina <3). I am very active in my high school's drama program and that's about all there is to me! Oh, yeah! I knit. :]

A Little About Me: Harry Potter has been a huge part of my life since second grade, when I first began reading Sorcerer’s Stone. I was first introduced to the fandom one day about 7 years ago when I had Googled “Harry Potter fansites” and clicked on the link to MuggleNet. I began listening to MuggleCast around episode 30. Since then, I’ve really never felt more at home than I do within the fandom. All things Potter aside, I’m a pretty diehard Batman addict who goes to a school that doesn’t believe in giving its students time to sleep. I also like to pretend I’m good at the guitar, as well as acting and singing, because there’s nothing I enjoy more. Apart from Harry, of course.

Ellen
Age: 15

I live in Michigan for about 7 weeks every summer, so I’m used to cold weather and cold water. I’m a big foodie. Although I'm not new to the fandom, I am new to working for MuggleCast. YouTube takes up the rest of my time.

A Little About Me: After being a daily visiter of MuggleNet for almost five years and MuggleCast for about three I have finally become part of MuggleCast as a transcriber. I fell in love with Harry Potter the summer The Order of the Phoenix came out. I, a stubborn 11 year old, thought, for who knows what reason, I would not love Harry Potter as much as my older sister or my friends. My sister then made a bet that she would finish the 5th book before I finish the 1st book. I lost the bet but I couldn't stop reading. Other than Harry Potter I love reading historical fiction, especially books about Anne Frank or any book about World War II, fantasy and fiction. I absolutely love cold rainy days, which are rare in sunny Tucson where I live, and reading books and going to the movies.

A Little About Me: I started reading the first Harry Potter book in May 2000. A month later, I had finished the first three books and was ready to buy the fourth book the day it came out. I happened upon MuggleNet in the summer of 2003 after I finished reading the fifth book and was immediately drawn to the editorials. I am quite a bit older than most of you people here, but I still consider myself a devoted Harry Potter fan. Keep up the great work, and don't stop with the MuggleCast episodes!

A Little About Me: I started reading Harry Potter in 2000 in Turkey and have read the first book eight times as with each new book I would reread the series up to that point in preparation. I became a fan of the podcast in 2006 as a way to laugh through my exercise in Germany. My favorite thing is knowing that no matter where I am in the world the MuggleCast Crew is going to be there with a great podcast.

A Little About Me: In terms of being a Harry Potter fan, I'd say I'm outgoing. I love meeting new fans. I got into Harry Potter when I was really little, just learning how to read, but I think I was surprised as any fan to discover p-p-p-poor P-P-Professor Quirrell was the bad guy, despite how long it took me to get through the book. I love MuggleCast, and I love transcribing, as it feels like I have some way to help out the podcast I love so much.

A Little About Me: I got into Harry Potter because my sister started reading the books, so I started too. I discovered Mugglenet a while back, but didn't listen to MuggleCast until Episode 90 was released. But I still love it. Apart from Harry Potter I really like music, video games and writing. I'm really random and normally really hyper.

A Little About Me:I hated Harry Potter since I first heard about it. I read Sorcerer's Stone December 5th 2007, and I finished Deathly Hallows 11 days later. I now eat my words, Harry Potter is absolutely amazing, incredible, and all of the above. I love it and it has changed my world. Besides Harry Potter, acting, singing and dancing are my world. I'm in show-choir at my school, and I have been in tons of plays and performances and productions.

A Little About Me: I've been reading the Harry Potter series every summer since 5th grade, and I don't plan to stop any time soon! In personality I'm like a mixture of Hermione and Ginny. Dumbledore is my hero and I bawl every time I read the end of Book 6. I love drawing, reading, drama, music, running cross country (it requires no coordination), daydreaming, Jesus, Shrek, Phantom of the Opera, sarcasm, Chris Farley, animals, making cartoons, and laughing. I've read and enjoyed Twilight, but I think comparing it to Harry Potter is like comparing a puddle to the Pacific Ocean :P I started listening to MuggleCast when I was working on a huge art project for school - I went through about 10 episodes in two days! When my project was done, I felt like I had nothing productive left to do, so I joined the transcriber team and I love every minute of it :)

A Little About Me: I first became a fan of Harry Potter when my mom read the books to me a long time ago. Soon before the release of Order of the Phoenix I discovered MuggleNet and a few other websites.

A Little About Me: I've been a huge fan of Harry Potter since my aunt bought me the first three HP books for Christmas of 2000, when I was 11 years old. It grew into an obsession after Goblet of Fire, and I've been visiting Mugglenet since then. I'm a college student majoring in film, and basically love watching good television (such as Lost, watch it now!), movies, and reading anything I can get my hands on. I have a long list of books I've read, and an even longer list of books I want to read, which grows just about every day. Thank you Harry Potter for pushing me to read at a young age.

Rachel

Favorite Music: Too many bands to name, but I particularly like The Beatles, U2, and Weezer, though my favorites are always changing.
A Little About Me: I've been a big Harry Potter fan for so long that I finally decided to get more involved in the fandom and become a transcriber. I enjoy reading, especially Harry Potter (of course) and Twilight. I also love Disney movies, listening to music, playing various instruments, being with my wonderful friends, and trying to avoid boredom by finding new things to do (the latest being trying to create my own video game, though Iím not having very much success at the moment).

Rebekah

Hobbies: Reading, dancing, writing, listening to Mugglecast, Imprint and Smart Mouths, transcribing Mugglecast, aerobics, netball, playing with Photoshop, the internet.
A Little About Me: I began my obsession with Harry Potter in 2001, when I read the first four books. Since then I've waited anxiously for the next book/movie, had endless discussions and arguments with my other obsessed friends and checked the internet constantly for Harry Potter news. I have been into Twilight since the release of Breaking Dawn, and love both series equally. I'm in Year 9 and I'm best at Maths, but my favourite subjects are Art, Drama, and IT. I think transcribing for MuggleCast is so much fun, it gives me an excuse to listen to it 24/7. I will yell and scream about Harry Potter to anyone who'll listen!

A Little About Me: My Aunt B first took me to see Sorcerer's Stone about a week after it came out. I didn't find out it was based on books until two years later when my third grade class read the first book. I then took a shameful hiatus for a few years, but in the summer of 2007, I rediscovered HP. I read all of the books before Book 7 came out, and along the way, I found MuggleNet. It wasn't until a year later that I started listening to MuggleCast. I became a fan as soon as Micah spoke. So in February 2009, I became a transcriber! Aside from Harry Potter, I cannot function properly without my lovely iPod. Music is a MAJOR part of my life. I'm in band (clarinet), and it is absolutely fun. I really love reading and writing. I plan on being a journalist when I grow up.

A Little About Me: I have a crazy life that I enjoy. On any given day, I might be found teaching some friends *In the Jungle* in sign language, making assembly announcements about debate team or French club, moving podiums and mic stands on and off the stage, driving a beast of a truck named “Leviathan,” rehearsing for a theatrical production, writing media analysis essays on *Half-Blood Prince *trailers, applying vast amounts of Frizz-Ease to my wild mane, playing Twister, listening to episodes of MuggleCast for the 3rd, 4th, or 20th time, pretending to be an insect enthusiast for Mock Trial, watching *The Office*, performing various gymnastic feats, or obtaining miscellaneous facts about my schoolmates on Facebook. I do these things alongside a plethora of splendid comrades who are very neat, indeed. I love *Harry Potter, *life, and (probably) you.
