“MuggleCast” Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary

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”.
