Join Andrew, Eric, Micah and Laura as they talk the latest casting news and first looks before busting open the MuggleMail bag to take your feedback on the last few chapters of Order of the Phoenix! News: Our first look at Dominic McLaughlin as The Boy Who Lived and Nick Frost as Hagrid! Plus, four new casting announcements: Rory Wilmot as Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson as Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey as Madam Rolanda Hooch, and Anton Lesser as Garrick Ollivander. And those Dursleys are looking mighty 90s in these behind-the-scenes photos! Voicemails cover Snape's Worst Memory, Harry's Career Aspirations, Grawp and how the Pensieve could have altered the end of Order of the Phoenix! Why is Harry so obsessed with Dumbledore? He barely knows the guy! How exactly did Tom Riddle's curse on the Defense Against The Darks Arts position work? Old habits die hard! Did Rita Skeeter actually turn over a new leaf? One listener questions if there really was a binding magical contract with the Goblet of Fire or if it was all secretly part of Dumbledore's larger plan! Put your memories away! Did Snape bait Harry to look in the Pensieve? Were Hermione's comments about Firenze really a commentary on Lavender and Parvati's fawning over their new Divination teacher? Comparing the Marauder's treatment of Snape to the Death Eaters treatment of the Roberts family Reducto! Why couldn't Voldemort just shrink himself to gain access to the Ministry and get the prophecy himself? Chicken Soup For The MuggleCast Soul Chapter-by-Chapter returns next week with Order of the Phoenix, Chapter 33: Fight and Flight Quizzitch: In this chapter Umbridge placed Stealth Sensor Spells around her office door.
