| 7:26 am | SpellCast Theater: Live From Sectus Finally, Spellcast is proud to present the two podcast plays recorded live July 20th at the London Harry Potter convention, Sectus. These plays were both submitted to us by George Pushdragon and take on a humorous look at the Minister of Magic's trial and the conditions at Azkaban prison. Honestly! Who is in charge of Occupational Health & Safety at the Ministry? Brains in tanks and unmarked dimensional portals! In this little trial transcript, Sirius' estate gets litigious, Fudge talks facial hair, Lucius struggles with life in the clink, and Albus Dumbledore has only one buttock. Naturally. The cast of "The Estate of Sirius Black v. Minister of Magic" Marchbanks - Purplefluffycat Tromedlov - Mikey Fudge - Heidi McGonagall - The cast for "'Who's Your Daddy' An Inquiry into the Conditions at Azkaban Prison" Fudge - Madeleine Percy - Dessie Volde-Morton - Mikey Umbridge - Flame Reg - Sidney Lucius - ThePinkRabbit Of course, we would like to thank everyone who took part in the play, the Sectus Committee, as well as our wonderful live audience at the recording.
