- Main Discussion: Revisiting MuggleCast #101, our first Deathly Hallows reactions episode
- Why did we start off Episode 101 talking about Lord of the Rings? Eric reminds us of how things have changed since 2007.
- Laura and the hosts lament the lack of return to the Department of Mysteries, across two time periods!
- Podcasting had made all the hosts cold, hard people. Did the deaths in Book 7 really even affect them?
- Did any of the deaths feel 'unnecessary' to us then, and do they now?
- 15 years later... does the epilogue feel satisfying? And what about those names for the kids?
- The hosts listen to themselves predicting what the Deathly Hallows movie will entail.
- We read some of the most dramatic reactions to the book, found in the MuggleNet Comments Section on July 21, 2007.
- Listener e-mails include: Who was the late-blooming Hogwarts student? What was it about Lily's eyes? And, what happened to Kreacher?
- Quizzitch: Who witnessed Dumbledore using the Sword of Gryffindor to destroy the Gaunt Ring?
