“MuggleCast” Episode 282: “Back to Hogwarts” Now Available!

by · Published · Updated

Your original Harry Potter podcast celebrates the month of September in the usual way: by welcoming new Hogwarts students (such as James Sirius Potter), by speculating on fan-submitted theories, and by commiserating on the many failures of Pottermore. Do not fret! – sharing in the experience with friends makes all of the difference.

On Episode 282, you will find discussion on:

    • It’s a new era in the fandom: Fantastic Beasts has started filming!
    • … Is it as exciting as Andrew is making it out to be?
    • It’s September! Back to Hogwarts, y’all! Jo’s tweet about the first day of the new term sent fans into a tizzy.
    • How much does it cost to take a photo with Rupert Grint at a fan expo? The answer is… wallet-breaking.
    • The Big Questions We Never Asked: Our listeners have some random questions!
    • Pottermore has re-launched, and we have a lot to say about it.
    • Does Pottermore know what it wants to be?
    • On the calendar: The first-ever illustrated edition arrives soon!
    • There’s no news about The Cursed Child (Sadly, we recorded this episode right before JKR announced the big Cursed Child news).
    • Fan theories: Would Ginny have killed Voldemort if Harry didn’t? Plus, JKR endorses the Dumbledore is Death theory.
