Dave is a long-time listener of MuggleCast and has his finger on the pulse of Harry Potter TikTok trends. This week's Main Discussion: The gadgets and gizmos of the Wizarding World We ask this of each gadget: How does it work? Is it cool or dumb or dangerous? Also, what would we pay for each? Far fewer people are on Team Cool regarding Dumbledore's Put-Outer than you'd expect! And what's up with the change in name to Deluminator? Wizards' Chess sets and the Flying Ford Anglia both get passing grades and positive reviews. The Monster Book of Monsters and Pocket Sneakoscope fall behind... ...and the Time Turner also turns some heads! Omnioculars, Wormtail's Hand, Decoy Detonators, and Auto-Answer Quill receive mixed feedback... ...while the Pensieve, Quick Quotes Quill, and Hermione's beaded bag impress everyone! Which gadget would you most like to own? Did we leave any out? Send us an e-mail and let us know! Quizzitch: After the First Task, what does George hear when Harry opens the Golden Egg? Find Dave on Twitter where he tries to make the world a better place. ...and check out Dave's episode on Eric's new podcast for more info about the TikToks and his history with the fandom!
