This week’s episode of
PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast, is now online and ready for your listening pleasure. In our 139th episode, we have for you some new information regarding the casting of “Half-Blood Prince,” the possible two-part “Deathly Hallows” film, and more about our upcoming fan conference in Boston, LeakyCon 2009. In Phoenix Files, the PotterCast Trio takes apart the next segment of the fifth film including the scenes involving the Arthur Weasley attack and Harry’s emotional state afterwords. Next, in Bit-by-Bit, we turn to the second half of Chapter Seven, where the topics of the visit from Rufus Scrimgeour and the dragon Norbert are discussed. Our Scribby5 girls have the King of Pop on their minds, as they talk about a spoof essay now available online. Finally, we bring you an update on the PotterCast Acting Troupe along with much more.

PotterCast rocks… and Norberta always knew she was a female dragon. Hagrid is just oblivious.

John’s rant on house elves is amazing. And Sue’s reaction is the best! Although I’m with sue about the house elves! Yay for transformers! _

Leaky is the first podcast I took the time to listen to, and now I can’t get enough.

Is Scrimegour pronounced “Skrim jur” or “Scrime Gower”?

A dragon with a gender identity crisis? The Stay Puft House elf (that’s an art challenge right there)? LoL. You guys have way too much fun.

This is my first time listening to pottercast. It’s really good. you guys talk about everything…....I’m another avid Potter fan. keep up the good work….can’t wait for the movie to come out. I hope they put more action and leave out less details. I think Part 5 could have been an even better movie with more details from the book that were left out.
