Listen Later

Bundle up, because it’s about to get really cold inside the Burrow! The MuggleCasters have reached “A Very Frosty Christmas” in their Chapter-by-Chapter reread of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. And they’re not alone. This week the Real Weird Sisters Alice and Martha have joined us! Topics cover the new Minister for Magic’s cunning, Mrs. Weasley’s faults, and the Weasley Brothers’ violent tendencies.

  • New Throwback Content: Be sure you’re following us Lon our Twitch where we are currently streaming the Chamber of Secrets PC game as part of our lookback content this year. All videos will eventually be posted also on our YouTube channel.
  • Welcome Alice and Martha of the Real Weird Sisters! They have been podcasting for 10+ years and are awesome.
  • Chapter by Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 16: A Very Frosty Christmas
  • The MC Pensive segment takes us back to an episode we recorded seven years ago.
  • Are we surprised that people still aren't believing Harry about Draco, even Ron?
  • What's with all the rough housing going on in the Burrow between Ron and his brothers? Is this a dangerous escalation or par for the course?
  • Should Bill be stepping in between Fleur and Mrs. Weasley's feud?
  • The hosts analyze Remus Lupin's story and his backstory.
  • What is Lavender expecting from Ron, as indicated by her flashy piece of jewelry for him?
  • Does anyone buy Scrimgeour's story that he and Percy were "just in the area"?
  • Is Scrimgeour any more smooth than Cornelius Fudge was?
  • Did Percy give Scrimgeour advice on tips for how to appeal to Harry? It kinda feels like he did, which is why Rufus failed so badly.
  • Our MVP segment asks what Harry’s sassiest line in the chapter is.
  • Our Lynx Line topic this week for Slug Club patrons: What did Fred and George try to make Ron do with the Unbreakavable Vow?
  • Coming up on Bonus MuggleCast for Slug Club patrons, we analyze our personal romantic histories broken down by the Hogwarts houses of our partners. It's a not-to-miss discussion!
  • Participate in our weekly trivia segment by answering this week’s Quizzitch question at MuggleCast.com/Quizzitch!
