That was awesome!

Jo is…. amazing. I’m so impressed with her attitude and her candor. She is such a sport! (But I REALLY want to know more about the scary horcrux stuff she mentioned)

I am sorry that you never actually got to talk about the romance stuff in this episode. I hope it made it into the next show!

I can’t wait for the next one!

Awesome podcast! I love the new intro. I’m still in shock that you guys finally were able to get Jo to do a podcast. Congrats!! You guys will be beating Mugglecast for sure this week!

Roon, or ImH, a favor if you would please? While I’m awaiting the transcript, would one of you send me a pm through Leaky, with just the revelations that are directly tied to the story line of the novels? Sounds like most of the information so far is backstory/background, but if there’s something specific to understanding the novels, I’d appreciate.

There’s a logistics question that I’m curious about….this was a telephone interview I assume? It happened right after the sale at Sotheby’s, and I thought Melissa was back in stateside during that time…..

Well done, all! I listened to it with a huge smile plastered on my face! I especially enjoyed the banter between Jo and John…those two make a hilarious pair (the diamond encrusted Beedle bit had me rolling). I think this is such a testament not only to how respected Leaky is, but also to how absolutely amazing and giving Jo is. What a way to finish a truly incredible year! Also, the new Jo intro is awesome!

budb: Have you seen the summaries posted on AQ yet? It sounds as if the show was recorded Thursday afternoon, I would guess, despite the introduction, via something like skype.

I liked the dimond BTB as well. One of the best lines in my opinion was Jo asking, “Don’t you think it id a bit too bling?”

On the intro, was that Jessica Rowling? The voice doing the recording for Hogwarts? It sounded like a younger person.

It was wonderful!

Jo is so lovely, it was wonderful to just hear her talk, its great that it was more of conversation than an interview! I screamed when I heard her say “This better not be about house elves!”

So much new info! I’m so happy for you guys! for Pottercast!! And yes! John is now officially officially cannon.
