MuggleCast: The Harry Potter Re-Read Podcast

Figg's Bat Phone (OOTP Chapter 1, Dudley Demented)

Listen Later

This week, our Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix re-read begins! We examine the protections surrounding Harry now that Voldemort is back, and ask whether Dudley Dursley is a good boy now.

  • News: There is an open casting call for children to become the next Potter trio for the HBO series. We’ll be talking more about it in Bonus MuggleCast, available on Apple Podcasts and our Patreon.
  • Chapter-by-Chapter begins again with Book 5, and our brand new MuggleCast Time Turner segment has us spinning some old recordings from past discussions. This week, Episode 433 and Episode 228.
  • Harry’s mood has soured significantly! Were we repelled by the book’s immediately sadder protagonist?
  • How much of Harry’s rage is justified? How much is due to his horcrux connection?
  •  Could Harry have been removed from Privet Drive after just 24 hours? If so, why wasn’t he? Is Dumbledore to blame for all of harry’s problems?
  • Feeling disconnected, Harry hears a loud noise but it makes him feel more desperate. The noise was the sound of our breaking hearts.
  • Dudley’s attempts to de-escalate the situation with Harry are applaudable, but unsuccessful.
  • Has Dudley already grown most of the way to a mature person?
  • Are we laughing at Harry’s jokes?
  • Lynx Line question: how could Dumbledore improve Harry’s protection?
  • New segments: Where’s Dumbledore?! And Make the Personal Connection
  • This week’s MVP award category is: Most Fake Character
  • Quizzitch: In honor of the drought that’s happening in the beginning of Book 5, what is the hottest temperature ever recorded in the United Kingdom? Guesses within 3 degrees Fahrenheit will be accepted. You may answer in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
