YAY!!!!! I’m downloading now. Thanks TLC and Pottercast!!
This has been the best Christmas present! Thanks so much for doing this for us, to both Jo and the Pottercast crew! You guys are wonderful, there really are no words to describe how much. Jo, you’re my hero!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
uggggh, well, I thought most of the questions were stupid.and the first 20 minutes weren’t even part of the interview.
exciting! must put this on my ipod immediately…can’t wait to hear it :}
YAY! Now I can’t wait to go to work on a Monday morning, Christmas Eve nonetheless, so I can listen to PotterCast! Thanks again for a great end to the greatest Potter year yet!
Great interview – can’t wait for Jo to come back again.
It’s a shame that you never got back to the shipping – for a long time I’ve wanted to hear Jo’s post DH views on all the shipping silliness online now that she is finally able to be honest about everything, but maybe that would be a bit too controversial for some.
YAY! I just downloaded and can’t wait to listen. What a year! Last year at this time we were all trying to get our minds around the release of the title of the seventh book.
Now we are getting the holiday treat of the trio interviewing Jo about EVERYTHING! I’m so glad to hear that Jo had agreed to return to PotterCast in the future! Wow!
HAPPY CHRISTMAS to everyone at Leaky and PotterCast!
oh my gawd!! she said she’d come back!! yayayayay. Im pretty sure thats going to be many many many months from now if ever, but its still nice to know that she would like to! I love her opinion of fan fics!!! “You thought wrong!” LOVE ITT!!!!!!
pffft, who cares about another interview with Jo? I mean, Mugglecast has Jamie back. Now that’s BIG!!!!
Looking forward to listening to it guys. The first one was amazing and I’m sure this one will be just as great. BTW, I’ve marked the 1st one in iTunes so it won’t get deleted…ever.
a.ma.zing!!!
haha remember that time Voldemort was like “I know! I’ll get a wand’s loyalty by commanding a snake to kill its ‘owner’ for me! That’ll work just perfect!!”
gets me every time. except not because of the sadness that followed, but still. lol.
omg this is amazing! the bellatrix fangirl in me kind of freaked the hell out over her confirming bella/voldy… AHHH :D
Love love love for Leaky + Jo!! Merry Christmas everyone (its Christmas Eve 6pm here), and thank you times a billion for being simply fabulous. Can’t wait to listen!
You know you’ve done good when the object of your affection takes notice of you almost exclusively!! We all appreciate you doing what you do as well and as dedicated as you do it.
Happy Christmas :)
“The next password will be horcri” haha! Jo is such an inspiring, generous, and all around amazing person. You guys must feel very honored to have talked so openly to her, and I can’t think of anyone who deserves it more!
I haven’t been able to hear it yet, but may I say that I am looking forward to “What exactly did Alan Rickman know and when?”
;)
