We continue our series of discussions on “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” with fans in a new ‘Bit-by-Bit,’ where we sort out the many Harry Potters in the next chapter of the book. We also get into a moment shared by Harry in Luna from the “Order of the Phoenix” film in a new ‘Phoenix Files’ in addition to bringing you the latest “Half-Blood Prince” filming reports from our readers in the UK and much more.

Yay, new episode! I’m gonna miss Melissa though, hope she’s having good luck with that book of hers; can’t wait to read it!

Aww, I’ll miss you, Melissa! But I have to admit, the episode title was very funny. “Melvin”...I still giggle over it a bit.

I noticed this episode is longer than usual, LOL.

Great Cast, kids! I especially liked the discussion of “why Deatheaters are ugly” I like to think of it as they are trying to “keep up with Voldemort”! (you have to admit, even in Prada, the man is heinous!) I miss “Melvin” and “Muchcaca”, too! (she’s gonna getcha for THAT one!) LOL…great job! *)

I hope you guys discuss the lawsuit a little bit. Just because you’re very sensible, and it’s partially what a talk show is for, and I’d like to hear your takes on it!

Enjoyed it, but I missed Melissa. The three-way conversations are the best. Also, it was strange that Steve was on encouraging JKR to put out her encyclopedia? I know it was recorded some time earlier, but he sounds so cheerful … what was he thinking? Did he know all @#*^% was about to break loose?

I miss Melissa! Otherwise it was a good show.

I was worried about how the show would be without Melissa, you three are so good together. But I must say, John and Sue, you did an admirable job carrying on without Melvin! I look forward to future shows with just the two of you; you all rock!

I have to admit I love it when Sue & John are let loose to be silly but I think Melissa always adds fairness and balance to the show (on issues such as the pink elephant – Lexicon). Well done you guys for not focusing on that. A very unfortunate episode in fandom relations with copyright owners.

John “Pansy” Noe? What happened to Dawlish? Was Melissa the one that kept the watch in the past? It was great anyway.
