I want to add my name to the list of people who want an exact time for when you’re posting it. Or at least tell us - do you mean tomorrow, like when we wake up and it gets light (it’s night now, Dudley, that’s what they call it when it gets all dark like this) or do you mean tomorrow as in when it turns Tuesday’s date at midnight in NY where Melissa lives? Should we stay awake waiting or go to bed early and get our sleep so we’re ready in the morning? :)
It must be thrilling to you guys to be involved in creating something everyone’s so looking forward to that we’re willing to stay up all night waiting . . .
I have to say, I’m 45, I don’t really listen to Mugglecast anymore, but I think those kids have done a very professional job on both their website and their podcast. They have a great future ahead of them, they’re all very talented. I don’t prefer their show because they’re kids and I am not. I don’t know why Jo chose Pottercast but I think it’s part relationship and part real professionalism. I mean, the Mugglecast kids are not professional journalists, no matter what other great credentials they may have. Pottercast (and Leaky) are the best, it’s just really a fact, so if she only had to choose one podcast, it’s really a no brainer. I’m sure if she chose a 2nd one, it would be Mugglecast. Just my opinion, speaking from the point of view of someone who is a lot closer to Jo’s age than any of the Mugglecast listeners.
that’s strange, I don’t know what I did to make several sentences in my post be all crossed out like that.
I have a confession, I do not live in NZ, I was trying to point out that I was anxious for this pottercast by the fact that is was already afternoon in NZ.
But I love NZ!!! The south island is incredible! The north Island was also great. I spent a month there a few years ago. I wish I was there now as it is summer.
OMG! Cant wait!!! please, tlc, can you say a time aproximation? i’m from portugal and my morning time isn’t the same of yours. thanks!!!
Maybe JKR does plan to grant interviews to podcasts for other fansites, but the way they’re acting, it likely won’t happen. This deafening silence is exactly the sort of thing that would likely make JKR stay away. I wish these other sites would post this worthy news so that JKR will see that it’s all good and then be more likely to grant more interviews. I mean, c’mon, if she sees that it’s causing friction, maybe she’ll think it’s better if she doesn’t grant any interviews at all. (I shudder to even type those words).
OMG 100th comment!
ahem
Anyway, yes, I think Leaky is MOST deserving of this interview and my opinion is only fueled by the other site’s word: mum.
My guess about the missing 24 hours—it was a maths error on Jo’s part, she didn’t stop to think it out. It obviously wasn’t some big clue to something or we’d have learned about it in Book 7.
Oh, yay! I can’t wait. Ah. Just thought of something…I wonder if we’re going to hear anything about NoeLvr44 or whatever the famed Pottercast “screenname” is. XD
“the main trio of characters’ post-book-seven plans,”
So she’s going to contradict herself yet again? Joy.
I wish you’d asked her what Hermione’s parents names are! I hate that they don’t have any.
While we wait, and to get everyone in the wonderful christmas spriti, I propose a big group hug.
All at the same time now…one…two….three … Squeeze!
Will the podcast be posted before 6:30am so we commuters can listen to it on the road? pretty please with a knut on top?
Yeah, I’m also wondering if it’ll be posted in time for my drive to work – I hope so!
lol, the news was posted just before 8.30 pm yesterday on leaky, almost exactly 24 hours ago…. we’re all used to cyber time, and forget that sometimes, things move slower
i’m simply saying there is at this time no evidence of any problem, so why look for one?
the real acievement of Leaky, Mugglenet, AccioQuote etc etc has been the cooepration….I don’t recall anything like this ever existing before, especially when you throw in contact with the author, publishers, major news media, the actors, and even WB. The closest parallel would have been the Trekkies, and only in recent years have they been as sophisticated, and the influence that the key figures involved in bringing us the HP fan sites have asserted has been interesting and important as well
Melissa, you do need to spend more time writing you know!
