"Last year, I broke up with my cart and wandered around my mother's bathroom, my father-in-law was still asleep - a lucky man."

The word muggle transcends the origin of Harry Potter and became one of the rare pop culture in the Oxford English dictionary. "Harry Potter" fan group regularly podcasts, usually weekly, insight into the latest discussion of fan circle. MuggleCast and PotterCast both reached the top of the iTunes podcast rankings and were chosen as one of the top 50 most popular podcasts. Some of the lessons learned in the series include diversity, acceptance, political tolerance and equality. According to a survey of over 1,000 university students in the United States, those who read these books are very different from those who never read books. Readers of the series know that they are more tolerant, more violent, not tortured, not authoritarian, and not cynical. I do not know if this is a causal relationship, but since there is a clear correlation, the cultural influence of Harry Potter is stronger than a simple fan relationship.

So, I am making some changes. First of all, the podcast function will end quickly and the weekly podcast clip will end.

As an example, the last four episodes of the third season are not reported in "the longest night", so I will upload my short idea for all four episodes of blog post by the end of the month. Since then, each article includes my thoughts on the first five episodes of the fourth quarter, then the latter part of the fourth quarter, and so on.
