Summary

Our first Muggle Mail episode of the year is here! And more than ever, listeners are boldly telling us who we have been too critical of in our latest read-through of Order of the Phoenix. Does planning things out make them worse? Can Sirius be blamed for his behaviors? And where does little Dumbledore go when he's not on the Chocolate Frog cards? All this and more on Episode 690. Welcome to the show Slug Club guest Evalynda! In the middle of this Winter season our Comfy Coz Combo Pack is nearly sold out! Containing our MuggleCast show beanie and our specialty throwback socks, grab these soft and warming items before it's too late over at the MuggleMillennial Etsy store! In our first voicemail of 2025, a listener points out something very interesting about the Triwizard competitors and their Hogwarts house affiliations. We look back on our Books 4 and 3 discussions with a round of MuggleMail regarding Karkaroff and Remus Lupin. Given the importance to Dumbledore of his appearing on the Famous Witch and Wizard Cards, could he be using them to spy on unsuspecting kids like Harry?! On the upcoming TV show, what changes to Snape might be concerning, and which ones wouldn't? Petunia and Vernon's relationship to each other and to the Potters is examined in depth! Are all of the adults in the Order just disorganized? Does Arthur Weasley deserve a pass for not scouting the route? Are Muggle primary schools looking for the M.I.A. Hogwarts students? Why doesn't Sirius ever seek out his favorite cousin, Andromeda? Should the role of Hogwarts Prefect come with a set of clear instructions? The Lynx Line segment asks for everyone's takeaways regarding our Book 5 read-through so far. Quizzitch: Which US fast-food chain was the first to add savory biscuits to their menu, in the 1970s?
