Thanks so much Melissa and the crew for these two amazing shows. Have a Harry Christmas and a Hagrid New Year. Just one thing the direct download for us with broadband isn’t working.

I’m so excited! The preview is tantalizing. Lily’s alive? What? I’l have to listen!

Thank you Jo, Melissa, John and Sue, for a present truly unique ever since my aunt gave me empty box.

If you use the first direct download link, at the top of the post, it works.

I’ve already listened, and hopefully next time no whatever Fred! I was so upset I thought you were going to talk about Fred when I saw that! Oh well it was still wonderful, guys.

Wonderful end to a wonderful interview.

Thank you so much you three for all that you do all year. It is an amazing thing that y’all have going on, and I consider myself blessed that you are willing to keep me in your “inner circle”

Happy Christmas to one and to all.
