MuggleCast: The Harry Potter Re-Read Podcast

628: Did the Dursley's Gifts to Harry Foreshadow 'Deathly Hallows'? And More MuggleMail

Listen Later
It's time to reflect on our recent re-read of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah, and Laura as they open the MuggleMail bag once more to tackle an array of voicemails, e-mails and chicken soup submissions following our recent excursion into Book 3's Chapter-By-Chapter.

  • The MuggleCast 2023 Listener Survey is HERE and is open to all listeners through October 6th! We want to know what you love about the show, what you think could improve it, and what other content you’d be interested in us making.

  • We begin our Book 3 wrap-up by revisiting our 7 Word Summaries and voting on which one should get a re-do!
  • 7-Word Summary of Book 3: Sirius prevails over Ministry officials and Snape
  • Voicemails include: Is there a connection between the Deathly Hallows and the gifts Harry receives from the Dursleys?
  • Does the prophecy's existence explain why Snape picks on Neville? Is there another reason why Voldemort doesn't have hair?
  • Lupin's werewolf depiction may be referenced elsewhere, and the phases of the moon are more gradual than you may think!
  • A listener writes in about Micah's criticism of Time-Turning.
  • Why are Lupin's lesson plans so creature-centric?
  • Is there a reason behind the many strained paternal relationships in HP?
  • Would Veritaserum help crack a Fidelius Charm? And, is being someone's Godfather a special magical bond?
  • Listeners also point out: McGonagall's anti-Divination stance goes back to Book One. And, how does Professor Binns grade papers?
