There’s nothing more pleasant after a long day of work than listening to the next MuggleCast! The people speaking are so funny and really enjoyable to listen to. I 100 percent recommend this podcast.
This podcast not only relit the flame and love I have for Harry Potter but also got me hooked on podcasts in general as a form of entertainment. Each episode has a good mix of book analysis, news and current events related to the Wizarding world, and trivia. If you love Harry Potter this podcast is for you!
If you’re a Harry Potter fan, this podcast is a must. The hosts are always on top of the latest news and have intriguing discussions. They release content regularly and involve their listeners. If you love the wizarding world, it’s worth giving a listen to.
have these people even read the books? they act as though they are huge HP fans yet spout off anecdotes that have never been included in the series and they mix up the books so often and it's so frustrating. these books are not hard to read in the slightest and i, a full time busy student who has a job can manage to read/listen to the books at least once a year and keep up with my knowledge. they are also quite misogynistic. they think that because they are gay and brought a woman back to the show that they are diverse, but it does not work like that. they are rude to fans and cannot keep a simple series straight. this podcast is straight-up disrespectful to fans who have actually read the series more than once and who actually know the content. if you want a HP podcast that is actually good, i'd recommend HP and the sacred text. so incredible and enlightening. unlike this trainwreck
Unfortunately over the last couple months this podcast has started spending more time on each episode bashing Trump and our current administration, sadly this kind of conversation zaps the fun out of the podcast and makes me want to stop tuning in. I have enjoyed this podcast greatly for the last year and would love to continue doing so. However I don't think the podcast should bash any public figure no matter their personal or political standing. I personally tune into this podcast because of my love of the Potter universe and hope to be able to enjoy and hear other people talk about that topic.
This is first ever podcast I listened to back in 2009 and stuck with it till it ended. Just restarted listening now that it’s back last spring. I feel like I’ve grown up with 3 buds. Was pumped when Laura came back but she’s been a huuuge bummer. Seems like she’s trying to hard to relate everything to political spectrum now and it takes away from the show. Again. This is one of my favorite podcasts ever but still. Chill...
Not to name names, but Mugglecast is by far the best HP podcast I’ve listened to. Due to the nature of the Wizarding World there are some weeks of absolutely no news, but the personalities of the hosts will keep you coming back for more. I love these guys (and the new gal!)
Fantastic podcast 95% of the time. Love your guys insights and thought-provoking theories/ideas. Harry Potter was and is a very special part of my life. I do however wish the political opinions could be left out of the podcast. Harry Potter is for everyone, including conservatives, and I just don’t appreciate the very blatant bashing of a group of people or certain comparisons being made that are often invalid.
Review Updates: I spoke too soon after that comment at the beginning of the show. I certainly understand the need to compare to current and historical situations when talking about the ministry, but there are comparisons that are unwarranted. The only autocrat in the news today is in Venezuela. But more importantly what I’m saying is conservatives, even those who wouldn’t list Trump as their first choice, like me, like the idea of escaping to a magical world and I work in that world and just don’t want to hear about it off the hill lol. Thank you for addressing my review and Go Gryffindor!
Thanks!!
I’ve listened to many Harry Potter podcasts and this is, by far, my favorite one.
Andrew, Eric, and Micah (and now Laura!) are pretty creative in their discussions about Harry Potter and the wizarding world. The shows are still entertaining.... I have yet to be bored by a single episode. Now with fantastic beasts there is even more to talk about! And even though I’m not a fan of the newest movie, I still enjoyed listening. The shows are funny and insightful, but the hosts are also sensitive and real when discussing any controversies surrounding the Harry Potter wizarding world. I absolutely love them!
Every time I listen to this podcast I feel like I’m transported right back to Hogwarts. Everyone brings so much insight into the old books I love so much. There’s nothing better than that.
If you've ever wanted to listen to in-depth discussions about how Hogwarts worked before plumbing...or how Pottery Barn Teen isn't just for teens...or, of course, who the hell is watching Jacob's bakery...listen to every single episode.
I discovered this podcast in 2008 when the 7th book was about to be released, and I was finishing my undergrad degree. 10 years later I’ve rediscovered it, while finishing my PhD, and enjoy how much the hosts have grown. It’s a smart podcast and I appreciate how much the hosts connect the books with our current events/moment.
Sad that a podcast dedicated to a series, which touts acceptance and inclusion, should make me (a devoted Potter fan, AND conservative) feel unwelcome, and an object of ridicule.
I’ve listened for years but can’t take the underhanded, snide comments, from the hosts anymore. The latest episode lost me, a couple minutes in.
Ironic that the most outspoken voices for “tolerance”, seem to always be the most intolerant.
With much regret, and hope for acceptance.
~ an UNSUBSCRIBED deplorable.
I have listened to this podcast off and on from the very beginning. I keep coming back hoping they will stop bringing politics into it, but they are managing it every episode. I'm sorry I just want some entertaining Potter news, not a constant liberal slant on everything. I even contributed on Patrion, but I think I have had enough. They can still give good insight into movies or what JK is not doing on Twitter but not enough to keep me around.
Very well organized, great personalities that come through, and SUPER knowledgeable about all things wizarding world - they do any research they don't already know and engage with listeners. AWESOME!!
I’m a new Harry Potter fan that only 1st watched the movie a few months ago. I’m now working my way through the novels and really enjoying it all. I’ve seen both Fantastic Beasts and throughly enjoy them also. I found this podcast about two months ago and started to listen so I can get more involved in the fandom. The problem is this podcast is very negative along with whoever runs their Twitter account. I’m old enough to vividly remember the attacks on George Lucas during the prequels and I’m getting the same feelings here. There’s nothing wrong being critical of something you love but attacking the creator for ruining it is really a line that shouldn’t be crossed lightly. For me if I stop getting enjoyment from something I step away and find something new to enjoy. I don’t stick around to spread negativity. That’s just my personal feelings.
The best thing about this podcast is that the hosts take this seriously, but not to the point that it feels like a fanatical podcast. When I listen to this, I feel like I’m talking with my good friends about the HP universe. The podcast is laid back, fun, entertaining and insightful. I look forward to it every week!
I’ve been an active listener for quite some time. Occasionally, I’ll just forget to listen for a few weeks, and then binge hard. These guys are funny, interesting, and have great content. They open up many theories and ideas about the Harry Potter world that I wouldn’t think of on my own, which is exactly what I need when I pondering ideas about these stories. I love how much research is done and how there are no silly theories because you never know with this world! With the Fantastic Beasts movies coming out, I’m pondering all over again like I used to when the Harry Potter books were released and anxiously waited for the next. I’m so glad these guys are still around. Keep on recording!
I started reading transcipts and listening to MuggleCast when I was about to turn 13 years old. I'm now 26, and I still love listening to MuggleCast. Even though the books have ended, the fandom definitely has not died. Fantastic Beasts, rereads, Cursed Child - there is still so much to talk about. Andrew, Eric, and Micah are like my friends who talk Harry Potter. Not many people appreciate HP as much as me in my life, so it's great to tune into a weekly podcast with other HP fans. These guys were the pioneers for the Harry Potter podcasts. Always. <3
Love you guys but honestly I totally disagree about your review of Fantastic Beasts Crimes of Grindewald! Rowling is so iconic in the way she leaves us with more mysteries and the way she eventually ties everything together and I think that was the best part of this movie. She created so many mysteries that she is later going to solve for us and it makes me all the more excited for the next movies
Original Review (5 stars): This is the BEST podcast ever!!! I listen every week and you should, too. If you have read the books, and have theories about the seventh book this is a great source of entertainment! You have to listen to this Podcast!!
Updated review: This show was once pretty family friendly and interesting to listen to. Recently, the show hasn’t been as interesting and the show has taken a more adult turn. I feel like they don’t have much new content.
I use this podcast to listen to whenever I want to get the latest Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts news, along with interesting debates and conversations. I think it’s great, and one of the best I’ve come across so far. 😀 Keep it up!
Fantastic podcast! Been listening since 2005. The hosts are lovable and fun. Different theories are discussed in depth. They love listening to voicemails and emails from listeners. If you love anything and everything about Harry Potter and the wizarding world, do yourself a favor and LISTEN!
I've been listening to this podcast on and off since the start, 13 yrs ago. Hands down, this is podcast provides consistently great HP content. The best part? Getting an hour + every week hearing such good friends chat about and analyze Harry Potter, with such sensitivity to what's going on currently in the world. Thank you guys for all you do! #untiltheveryend
I tried other Harry Potter podcast's and could not stand the amount of political nonsense they were adding to the podcast. After listerners complained that they were being too political they responded by saying that 'there is no way to discuss Harry Potter without politic's'. Welp, here is a perfect example on how to do that. Love these guys!
I started listening last summer and got hooked. I went back and listened to ALL of the old episodes, that’s how good this show is. Listening to these guys is like sitting around talking with friends about my favorite book series. They keep you up to date on the latest Wizarding World news and break down the series through some really thoughtful and fun discussions. Give it a listen, you won’t regret it!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for a few months now and I’m in love! So very insightful and, light hearted, and fun! You guys are the best. Please keep doing what you do! ✨
To me this is THE Harry Potter Podcast, it’s been around for as long as I can remember (possibly even original!?) and has amazing hosts. Andrew, Eric and Micah all have a real love for Harry Potter and though varying opinions, they all complement each other very well.
They have great segments with guest hosts that range from real fans to Harry Potter related interviewees! They have a Patreon account that gives back to their Patrons with awesome unlockable content and even gifts!
They honestly have amazing content, personality and a passion for HP that makes me smile when listening during each and every episode!
I have been a long time HP fan. Just found this podcast and have enjoyed the insight. If you love Harry Potter you will fall in love with this podcast. And you can deep diver for weeks 😜
Absolutely love listening to Mugglecast every Monday! It’s my little source of Harry Potter every week and makes my commute to work so much more enjoyable. Every episode is great! It’s so fun to be able to listen to people discuss Potter even though the books are done.
I absolutely love this podcast! I always feel like I get so much good info and insight into the wizard of world. Andrew, Eric, and Micah have a great chemistry together and a create a nice balance of humor and serious topics. Highly recommend this podcast to anyone who loves Harry Potter!
Great podcast if you’re feeling like you miss the world of Harry Potter, it’s nice to feel like you have 3 friends that are as HP nerdy as you! I’ve gone back and listened to old podcasts I missed while in school and it was great to listen to predictions and see what came true! I truly thought the world of Harry Potter was going to be over with the theme parks but then came the Fantastic Beasts series and the Cursed Child. Hope they keep the amazing podcasts coming for years to come!
I just started listening to your podcast last week and love it! You guys are entertaining to listen too and have very intriguing Harry Potter debates. Keep up the great work! I hope to hear more soon with the new Fantastic Beasts film being released!
