Scout the Route! (OOTP Chapter 7, The Ministry of Magic)

Listen Later

Aren’t government buildings exciting? This week, the MuggleCasters jog their memories of how to do public transit because it’s time to go to the Ministry for Harry’s disciplinary hearing! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they discuss Chapter 7 of Order of the Phoenix, “The Ministry of Magic.”

  • Show announcements including what’s going on over at #Millennial and What the Hype?! as well as a unique gift idea for the upcoming Holidays.
  • HP TV Show news! Actor Mark Rylance is reportedly a top pick for Dumbledore by the creators of the show. We can see it.
  • Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 7: The Ministry of Magic. And our Time Turner segment has us spinning some old recordings from past discussions! Be sure to check out Episode 440 and Episode 240 for prior Chapter 7 analysis!
  • For their journey to the Ministry, why does Arthur go it alone? Does it put Harry at undue risk?
  • How come Arthur didn’t know where he was going, and why wouldn’t he plan it in advance?
  • Micah comes for Arthur including his job title versus his lack of demonstrated competence with Muggle things. We are shook.
  • How would a wizard react to public transit apps?
  • Do we think the Muggle entrance to the M.O.M. has been updated since the 1990s?
  • The hosts compare the Ministry fountains between books 5 and 7, with keen insight.
  • Somebody get everyone some coffee! It’s just another day at work for most people.
  • Seeing Arthur’s office in person, we cannot help but feel like Percy may have had a point.
  • We adore the many layers of Arthur and Kingsley’s work conversation.
  • Odds and Ends include the first mention of Scrimgeour, the Quibbler, and more!
  • Lynx Line: What floor of the Ministry of Magic would our Patrons most like to party on?
  • Quizzitch: What is Amelia Bones’ middle name?
  • Reminder! The MuggleCast Merch Store is now open! Grab brand-new, original MuggleCast designs. We have t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, hats, and more!
