Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Borders has now relesed their “Harry Potter Book Club,” a joint presentation with PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast. The discussion took place between PotterCast and several Phoenix Rising attendees a few weekends ago in New Orleans. The talk goes about an hour (and is viewable or downloadable in chapters or in full, in WMV and in iPod format) and touches on topics ranging from who will die to how we all became fans.

PotterCast is also on tour right now; we’re trying to put together a fan hangout in Santa Fe, NM, tomorrow, so keep an eye on our blog for more.

Big thanks to Borders for this awesome chance to present a talk that considers the important issues to fans. We had a great time doing it and we hope you enjoy it!

it was great listening! it definately got kind of sad towards the end concerning “what’s next?” i kind of feel that the main difference is just that people will move on faster and be propelled to read the next JK Rowling novel or the next fantasy novel. They are going to visit threads and submit ideas but most likely once they are finished reading the set and have a few thoughts to add. this moment can never be re-lived…

so yeah, the fandom will get quieter, fewer theories, but the fandom will never die. We have three more movies to see, a theme park to visit, who knows? although i might choke on my cheerios if they come out with HP: the musical;)

I was lucky enough to get to participate! We had such a great time taping. We all kind of forgot the cameras were there so that by the end it felt like we were a bunch of friends sitting in someone’s living room chatting about Harry Potter. Except I was sitting next to Melissa and trying not to be fangirlish. :-)

That was awesome, I really enjoyed hearing everyone’s opinions… I would love to be able to be in a room with that many Harry Potter fans and just talk!!! As of right now I just get to bore my roommate with my constant Harry Potter discussions. Well, I’ll be at Pottercast on the 24th & 26th in Thousand Oaks and Los Angeles, so I can’t wait!

Hey, I was wondering when you were going to post about this, lol. I thought maybe you wanted to keep it on the down-low for some reason. :P

But yay Borders! It was fun.

It’s 5AM and Im SO gonna pay for staying up this late but I got wrapped up in the book club. It was interesting to hear all of those theories, especially the girl who was Tonks. Her theory that the trophy was a horcrux, she has a point, Jo does mention it alot.

Good…morning….zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
