Millennial Muggle

The end has come, Kiz has finally made her way through the final half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 

In this episode the housemates unpack the final chapters of the series and look back at what the series has created for Kiz who now FINALLY understands what Kim has been obsessed with her whole life. 

We also chat to some of our guests from the series who reveal their favourite parts of Harry Potter. 

In the eighth episode of Millennial Muggle Kim and Kim discuss book seven, part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Kiz is shocked by Dudley's change of heart at the beginning of the book, and regrets taking the novel camping as she tried not to cry over the deaths of Mad Eye and Hedwig at the start of the read. The mysterious R.A.B is revealed as Regulus Black, who stole the Horcrux and entrusted Kreacher with its disposal - leading into a broader exploration of the role of house elves in the series (R.I.P DOBBY). The enigmatic life of Dumbledore is exposed piece by piece and Kim has to hold back as Kiz asks: what happened to Ariana? Why didn't he tell Harry about his connection to Godric's Hollow? Who is behind the silver doe? Kiz is at the threshold of discovering how the Harry Potter series ends... will the three Deathly Hallows hold the key to Harry's victory over the Dark Lord? 

Kiz takes a long time to recover in this episode after finishing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Despite knowing a key spoiler thanks to Kim, the housemates nut out the ins and outs of the novel and touch on many key points - the character arcs of Snape, Ginny and Dumbledore, the dark arts and whether or not they pity Draco. This episode's guest is Kim's best friend Apple and the pair reflect on their Harry Potter *ROMANCE* and how the booked shaped their teens. By the end of the episode, Kiz is bracing herself for the series finale.

In episode six of Millennial Muggle Kiz and Kim discuss Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Kiz is starting to realise the books aren't as optimistic as she thought after the death of Sirius Black. They explore how Professor Umbridge is a distraction throughout the novel, how Fred and George are more than just pranksters and talk about Kim's favourite character who is introduced in this book.

In episode 5 of Millennial Muggle Kiz grapples with the shocking death of Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Kiz and Kim take a deep dive into Hermione and her ‘Cinderella’ moment, and the similarities between Emma Watson and the character of Hermione. They discuss how book four kickstarts the return of Lord Voldemort, and in turn, a new battle between good and evil.
