You guys rock! I’ve been having a horribly bad day since, well, last night, and 4 minutes into the podcast, I was feeling better. I love that you all just lost it. Thanks for making my day!
Yay! PotterCast <3 Thank you, guys!
Beedle the Bard fan fiction?? This is news to me… and what do you mean “Frak kills the Quartet”? O_O haha, it better not mean what I think it means.. * waiting for iTunes to download the podcast *
I want you to talk A LOT about Ron and Hermione in the next Pottercast, cuz I know the chapter is the Silver Doe, and thats when Ron comes back! I am obsessed w/ the R/H relationship and i need you guys to talk alot about it!!!
Great Pottercast!! Nothing to complain about here – fidelius discussions should be taken to the forums, not argued about here.
On another note, if a Quidditch Player forgot to charm their, ahem, “protection”, I’m sure a nice Ballius Reparo would work too :) Love the Pottercasts! Keep them up
Just to let people know, the plot for “The Tale of the Three Brothers” is based on the Pardoner’s Tale from Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales.” Rowling even admitted this in an interview once. So I was pretty surprised you didn’t mention that. You might want to mention that fact in the next episode just for the heck of it, so that anyone who wants to read the Pardoner’s Tale can go do so. I think there was even an essay posted here on the LC in Scribbulus that compared the two stories, but I might have read that on some other website. I don’t remember. Anyway, if anyone is curious about the inspiration for that story they can read “The Canterbury Tales”, which really they should do anyway because it’s such a classic work of literature as well as because a lot of the stories in it are actually really funny. Trust me; they really are funny. Try reading The Miller’s Tale and not laughing. Have you figured out that I was an English major in college yet? LOL. I’m such a nerd; I’m always looking for HP comparisons in everything. But seriously, there are so many in jokes in the HP series for people who know “classic” literature, particularly Greek mythology, but also some other stuff.
hey does anybody know which pottercast is the one where the potttercast hosts or whatever you call J, S, F, and M—where they talk about the S.S. Potter’s travels—as in, the canoe that tips over??? i have to listen to that again! it makes me so happy and i could use something that’s cheery.
MELISSA! Please try to calm down before you blow up at Frak. The Fidelius Charm is a very confusing piece of canon, and if I hadn’t randomly researched that on HP Lexicon before, I wouldn’t have known either. Just say “The Potters performed the Fidelius Charm, so they must’ve known Peter was the Secret Keeper,” okay? I know you’re all about trivia, but other people contribute to the fandom without being as knowledgeable as you. Please try to control your temper (I’ve heard people complain about how you shoot down other podcasters’ ideas before, soo). Thanks. :)
Yay pottercast!!!!!!
