MuggleCast #61: Royal Tannenbaum

Our Halloween special (only a few hours late) brings some unspooky fun to the latest episode of our weekly Harry Potter podcast. Join Ben, Jamie, Laura, Micah and me for a discussion on ghosts and much more:

- This week we welcome you to the show with our sweet new intro.
- Why is WB so adamant about keeping the movies 2 1/2 hours long?
- Jamie's lack of Halloween enjoyment as a child explains his bitter disposition as an adult.
- How should we take Nearly Headless Nick's advice to Harry at the end of OOTP?
- What's with the Bloody Baron, and why is he so... bloody?
- Was the Grey Lady inspired by the ghost of Lady Jane Grey, who haunts the Tower of London?
- Could Dumbledore have gotten rid of Peeves?
- Does Professor Binns know anything crucial about Voldemort?
- Debate: Halloween is a morally vapid holiday, which encourages delinquency.
- Laura Mallory update.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not need an iPod to download or subscribe to the show. You can always update your feed in iTunes, or visit our website and click on "Episodes" for direct download links and more. On that page you will also find a low-bandwidth version of the show for those of you with dial-up connections. Enjoy!
