Welcome to Muggle Cast Episode 306. Happy December everybody, Micah, Eric and I are here this week to talk fantastic beast and J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World with you.

0:53.5

How are you guys? It's always like coming home, you know, taking off our jacket and crumbling up into bed when we record.

1:03.5

That's what we did when we recorded in person in November last month. That's true. I do miss you guys. Now that we've done that, I don't think we can ever truly comfortably go back to, you know, separate sides of the continent type recording.

2:03.5

And we're going to talk about that.

2:04.5

Isn't that part of this thing?

2:06.5

What's great about this though is the fact that we do have the opportunity now to look back on probably close to what 20 years of content and other things that are out there that we probably just glazed over.

2:23.5

But yeah, it's clear that J.K. Rowling had ideas that we clearly didn't know about.

2:33.5

Oh yeah.

2:34.5
