MuggleCast: The Harry Potter Re-Read Podcast

Unhinged 2026 Potter Predictions, Learning Voldemort's Name, And More MuggleMail

Listen Later

This week we make a few end-of-year predictions for what 2026 will hold in store for Harry Potter fans, and open up the MuggleMail bag further than ever, as we read recent comments from YouTube and Spotify in addition to Discord, voicemails and e-mail! Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura for our final episode of 2025!

  • Looking ahead: what news will we get about a Hogwarts Legacy sequel? How about the HBO TV series? Will more series be green lit?
  • Andrew leads the group in making unhinged predictions including genderbent books and a line of adults-only official merchandise.
  • Our own 2026 plans for MuggleCast include content that looks ahead as well as back, including more talks on the TV show and classic components of HP fandom history.
  • Voicemails sent in include a Hermione Granger impression, and ask the question, "how do children learn Voldemort's name?"
  • Was Arthur Weasley's originally-planned death hinted at in the text of Book 5 and before?
  • Spotify listeners want to know: is Snape projecting? What is the general skill level of your average every day wizard? And will Micah tell more dad jokes?
  • Is Severus Snape a good teacher? What about his old Potions book? Why doesn't Dumbledore ever tell Harry exactly how to destroy the Horcruxes? And, does Hermione belong in Ravenclaw?
  • Additionally, folks tell us their feelings on the Full Cast Harry Potter Audiobooks as well as the Tonks and Lupin romantic subplot.
  • Our Lynx Line segment asks our most dedicated listeners for recommendations of books they've read this year and enjoyed. See the full list of suggestions here!
  • Bonus MuggleCast, available over on our Patreon, will have the hosts discussing their behind-the-scenes stories of contributing to MuggleNet.com
  • MuggleCast will return January 12, 2026!
