The original “Harry Potter” podcast has now reached its tenth anniversary. On August 7, 2005, MuggleNet was the first “Harry Potter” fan site to launch a companion discussion podcast, and a decade later its hosts are still competently discussing the series. This very special anniversary episode ranges from discussion of long-lost theories, to the delightful inclusion of listener voicemails. It is a can’t-miss episode for all who have joined the podcast on its journey thus far.
On August 7, 2005, a new medium was born. “Harry Potter” literary discussion, which was then taking place on a multitude of Internet forums, chat rooms, and website comments sections, first hit the airwaves of the iTunes podcast directory in the form of “MuggleCast”. On that first episode, the trio of hosts, which included MuggleNet staff members Andrew Sims, Ben Schoen, and Kevin Steck, discussed recently released promotional stills from the fourth “Harry Potter” film, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire”.
As the North American continent heats up, so too, does “Fantastic Beasts” casting news. With Eddie Redmayne now confirmed in the lead role, and other casting announced, the “MuggleCast” hosts speculate on all things to do with J.K. Rowling’s screenwriting breakthrough film. Also of note are recent Twitter revelations from JKR and Robert Galbraith, one of our Hall of Fame episodes turning five years old, and more!
