On this week's episode, we empty some owl post from our Muggle Mail bag! What would the 1998-99 Hogwarts school year have looked like? Why did Harry decide to become an Auror? Plus, we analyze several new Credence theories, a Chicken Soup from India and a horcrux email from 2006 that we’ll finally answer!

  • We're confounded! Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is closing this January!
  • Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone director Chris Columbus says he thinks they got Harry’s scar wrong... and is interested in making a Cursed Child movie!
  • It's our monthly Muggle Mail episode with voicemails covering Dumbledore and Grindelwald's blood pact, Mads Mikkelson's casting and more!
  • Would Hermione, Ginny and Luna have been close? Would the Slytherin students have been treated poorly? How would Snape have been remembered?
  • Credence theories abound!
  • Would J.K. Rowling ever write a HP-world book from a different character's perspective?
  • What is Grindelwald's emotional motivation?
  • Chicken Soup for the MuggleCast Soul returns!
  • Our throwback email from 2006 covers Harry's glasses being a horcrux!
  • Quizzitch: What was the first movie directed by Chris Columbus, which co-starred a young Vincent D'Onofrio as the Norse god Thor?
