Because the past sure can hurt a lot, MuggleCast this week celebrates a direct connection between Harry Potter and his mother Lily. Hopefully her letter isn’t the only secret hidden away in the dusty corners of Grimmauld Place. Join Andrew, Eric, Micah, Laura, and special Slug Club guest host Hanna for another Chapter-by-Chapter focused episode from Deathly Hallows!

- Welcome Slug Club member Hanna to the show!
- Quizzitch: What item of Mrs. Black’s is Mundungus said to have run off with (and presumably sold?)
- 7-Word Summary: Kreacher makes Harry listen to his tale.
- Is Lily’s letter the first time Harry is hearing directly from the *real* Lily Potter? Will it be the last?
- The hosts are all impressed that Harry, at only one year old, can ride a broom so well. He was probably just born with it.
- The Potter’s cat may have more to it than meets the eye… according to an old fan theory.
- Would Dumbledore have taken James’ cloak specifically to prevent him from visiting Sirius while in hiding from Voldemort?
- What if the Order had thrown the locket out? Wouldn’t a landfill be the most unexpected (and therefore secure) place to hide one’s soul?
- Kreacher tells his tale… but doesn’t tell us what specifically he saw after drinking the potion. We speculate.
- How long has Kreacher been in the Black family? Did he raise family members before Sirius and Regulus?
- Micah makes an apt comparison between Regulus Black and Draco Malfoy.
- Harry’s kind gesture to Kreacher has lasting consequences… the good kind.
- Lynx Line question: “How does Sirius and Regulus’ teenage bedrooms compare to your own?” Our patrons weigh in.
- Next week Chapter-by-Chapter continues as we learn about “The Bribe”!
