Harry Potter: Do you accept the ever-expanding universe?

Week 10 of EW's BINGE podcast unpacks 'Cursed Child' and the split fandom

SPOILERS from Harry Potter and the Cursed Child lie ahead. Don't say we didn't warn you…

It all ends here—EW's Binge of Harry Potter, that is.

The universe will continue to expand, but the podcast now comes to a close with episode 10, in which hosts Marc Snetiker and C. Molly Smith unpack Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Listen for a deep dive into the eighth Harry Potter story, including discussion of what it means for Albus to be sorted into Slytherin and to befriend Scorpius, what the original characters — Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Draco, Neville, and more — are up to now, and the workings of time travel and alternate universes.

Let's not forget, you know, the whole thing about Voldemort and Bellatrix having a daughter, Delphi—and you BET there's one final plea for a prequel about Professor McGonagall, who has a tragic, romantic past, but went on to become a Hogwarts hotshot.

Beyond the happenings in Cursed Child, expect to hear favorite J.K. Rowling tweets and revelations, wild theories and their plausibility, and reflections on the split fandom. Specifically, how have Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Cursed Child rocked fans? Do we need to accept all of this canon? Will Marc and Molly have to return years from now with all that's being added to the Potter-verse?

(Thanks Hermione. So humbled by your support.)

Being the last episode, we want to thank you, fellow Potterheads, for listening. Mischief managed… for now. <iframe src="https://art19.com/shows/ews-binge/episodes/9393fba3-f809-41ce-bc0e-2b295053c957/embed?theme=light-gray-blue" scrolling="no" width="100%" height="460" frameborder="0" class="" allowfullscreen="" resize="0" replace_attributes="1" name=""></iframe>
