Listen Later

On this week's episode, get ready for the worst scavenger hunt ever! Join Eric, Micah, Laura and special guest Rachel as they take a trip down Horcrux memory lane and learn what near-impossible task lies ahead for Harry and company! 

  • Welcome Slug Club member and host of The Menuscript, Rachel!
  • This week we're discussing Half-Blood Prince Chapter 23, "Horcruxes"
  • The Slughorn Files: UNREDACTED
  • What do we make of Slughorn's interest in Tom becoming Minister of Magic?
  • Did Tom learn some of his less-than-wholesome skills from observing Slughorn?
  • What was the inciting event that made Dumbledore so “fierce” about a no-Horcrux curriculum?  And should Horcruxes be a banned topic at Hogwarts?
  • Why was Voldemort willing to risk part of his soul to reopen the Chamber of Secrets?
  • Hallows Happy Dumbledore: with both the Elder Wand and Resurrection Stone in his possession, why didn't Albus ask Harry for his Invisibility Cloak and just dip?
  • When Dumbledore suggests the possibility of a living Horcrux in Nagini, should this not have been MAJOR confirmation that Harry was a Horcrux as well?
  • Why does Harry’s capacity for love give him power the Dark Lord knows not?
  • Lynx Line: If Horcruxes were a subscription service, what would their tagline be?
  • Quizzitch: On July 7th, 2007, the “New 7 Wonders of the Modern World” were unveiled by the New 7 Wonders Committee in Switzerland, with input from around the world. Of the NEW 7 Wonders of the Modern world, which one is the MOST modern?
  • In Bonus MuggleCast, we're keeping with the Horcrux theme… and giving the Harry Potter TV show license to change one major character death. Find out what the hosts came up with at Patreon.com/MuggleCast!
