How about Hugh Laurie for Xeno Lovegood? I want to see Hugh in HP!

Caracticus: I like that idea. Hugh Laurie is a genius and an amazing actor, that’d be great.

great episode guys—really funny, i was laughing out loud at “Are You Smarter Than John Noe”

Ahhhh! I could have dominated “Are You Smarter Than John Noe?” I was in hysterics the whole time and shouting the answers aloud, earning many funny looks for my family. But I names ten Hufflepuffs in about 20 seconds,at least seven Fred and George products, and Snape’s parents. Good job everyone who played though (: “Hibbidy Dibbidy” = best Beetle the Bard story XD

Bit by bit really touched on something important about the use of Polyjuice Potion in the Deathly Hallows. After I read the book the first couple of times I realized that if the movie(s) match the scenes from the book that use Polyjuice then Dan Rupert and Emma aren’t going to get to do some of the most exciting scenes in the movie.

Dan only gets to do “The 7 Harrys”

Dan doesn’t get to do “The Wedding”

None of them get to do the Ministry or Godric’s Hollow

Emma doesn’t only gets to do half of “Gingotts”
