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!
