0:00.0	This is MuggleCast, Muganit.com's brand new podcasting feature, episode one for August 7th, 2005.
0:07.9	If you haven't finished reading books yet, please do not listen to this podcast as we do talk
0:13.5	about several different spoilers. Welcome to MuggleCast, I'm Ben Shane, I'm Andrew Sims,
0:19.4	and I'm Kevin Stuck. This is the first edition of a brand new feature brought to you by MuggleInit.com.
0:25.2	Each week our discussion will be centered around one topic. This week we will be discussing the
0:29.6	recently released six book, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. But first we need to take a
0:34.2	look at this past week's news. Within the past week we've seen a lot of news for the fourth movie,
0:39.6	Harry Potter and the Galbot of Fire. A lot of brand new pictures have also been released. Kevin and
0:44.3	Andrew, what do you guys think? Okay well I'm really thinking this movie is going to be one of the
0:49.7	best ones yet, and I said that about Prisoner of Azkaban 2, but this one I really think is going to be
0:54.7	good. The director of Mike Newwell, the director of Mona Lisa Smile, four weddings in a funeral,

1:12.4	hasn't really fit in with it, but from what I see I think it's going to look pretty good. See the
1:17.4	thing is that I think this movie is going to be better for the Harry Potter fans as opposed to
1:22.9	Prisoner of Azkaban, which was better for the person who has never read Harry Potter before.
1:27.5	Yeah, the problem that everyone had a problem with Prisoner of Azkaban because they cut out so
1:34.1	much stuff that we deemed vital in the Harry Potter fandom. I agree to an extent, but see the problem
1:42.4	was with Prisoner of Azkaban is that a lot of things really weren't explained. Why did Harry
1:48.4	cast a stag at the end of the movie to save his past self? I think it's really weren't explained
1:54.4	to Prisoner of Azkaban. It's really going to be hard to please the Harry Potter purists, so to speak.
2:00.7	Same thing with the Marauder's map. I mean, that plays a key role in the future books and they
2:08.8	didn't even explain where it came from. And Alfonso, he was very artistic. When you looked at the
