PotterCast
The 135th episode of PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast is here tonight featuring a special interview with the cake baker Duff, of Ace of Cakes, who created the masterpiece of flour, water, and so much more that attendees enjoyed at the LA premiere of “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” this past July. Photos of Duff’s creation at the premiere and air times for upcoming Ace of Cakes episode featuring the Hogwarts cake can be found here. During this interview Sue and John discuss with Duff how he got the honor of creating this particular cake, how his team transported parts of this massive work across the United States, and of the detail and time he put into this work. We also bring you the latest on the news of author J. K. Rowling’s upcoming commencement address at Harvard University, as well as talk of actor Timothy Spall’s recent interview where he speaks of his role in the final Harry Potter film, and an update on the WB/RDR legal situation.

I think it’s pretty sad how happy I get whenever PotterCast updates, haha. It’s the highlight of my week.
YAY! I wish I had a time turner to speed up the rest of my school day so I can go home and soak up the love of PotterCast + Duff.
Yay! Seriously, that’s my favorite late-night show (Ace of Cakes, I mean.) Now that PotterCast is combined with it, it’s easily the most amazing thing in the world! Are you guys on the show?? I can’t wait to watch them make that gorgeous cake!
I love that show! I saw the preview for the HP episode a week or so ago and totally squeed when I saw Rupert and Dan. LOL at Rupert asking him to cut the cake. LOL.
When’s PotterCast going to be available through the Zune Marketplace?
This is so great! But…. Erm… I have a little request… I can’t download the Pottercast No.132, not on ITunnes, nor on direct download. Can you guys help me out?! Please?! I hate to skip a Pottercast :) Thanks :)
What happened? what i meant is I love Ace of Cakes AND PotterCast so YAY! don’t worry, its the hi-light of my week too.
I lived the show guys!!! SO great! The fact that Duff was on it just made it all the better. Superb!
P.S… why the three minutes of nothing at the end??? Just wondering. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
That was an awesome show! I have watched Ace of Cakes for a few seasons now, and Duff is the MAN! So awesome so hear how big of a HP nerd he is!! One thing, though, as I was listening…when you guys were talking about how cool the party was, I didn’t think I heard any of that before. If I recall, in the craziness of July, you guys kinda glossed over the movie premieres on the tour, and never really came back to them. DH kinda pushed it to the backs of everyones minds. Could you guys at some point go back and discuss how the premieres went, any good stories, and maybe talk more about the parties?? Umbridge’s cat pictures in the bathrooms!!
Thanks. Its nice to get different shows like that dealing with unique areas of the fandom. Probably also gives Melissa,Sue,John a break from cranking out content in the usual format. Well done.
this episode was so awesome! I love Ace of Cakes and it was soo amazing hearing the interview of him! Its insane how much of a Harry Potter fan he is, and it is just so awsome!
