On this week's episode, we preview the forthcoming Harry Potter Reunion Special, dive deeper into The Secrets of Dumbledore trailer, take listener feedback on just what in the world Jacob is doing with a wand and look ahead to 2022! Plus, a bonus MuggleCast you won't want to miss - just what goes down at a Hogwarts Holiday staff party! Another year, gone (in your best Dumbledore voice)! We discuss the upcoming Harry Potter Reunion Special. The trailer was supposed to be released last week prior to our recording, but never appeared. It was eventually released Monday, December 20th. Rumors abound about a member of the trio not being present for the reunion! Don't forget, we'll be recording our first MuggleCast of 2022 following the airing of the reunion on HBO MAX!

Listener feedback covers all things Jacob! Did Dumbledore enchant Jacob's want to work only in times of need? Was Jacob expelled from Ilvermorny? Could he be a late bloomer? Does Jacob get a wand because, well, it would just be too dangerous for him NOT to have one? Could Credence hold the secret to destroying the blood pact?
