PotterCast 145: The Fantastic Four
PotterCast
The 145th episode of PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast, is now online featuring a foursome of PotterCast fantastic-ness and the latest installment of “Are You Smarter than John Noe?” In the news this week, we bring you new information on the possibility for a May debut of the “Half-Blood Prince” trailer, a teaser report the Slughorn Christmas party scene in HBP, Harry Potter influences at the university level, Jo presenting a literacy award to prison inmates, and much more. We also have for you an update on the current situation with the Harry Potter Lexicon. Next, four PotterCast listeners match wits with our John Dawlish in a the latest edition of “Are You Smarter than John Noe?” Our Scribby5 girls then return to discuss a number of topics related to their essays and a new contest they have launched. Canon Conundrums makes its return featuring Sue, John, and Frak batting around theories and ideas, trying to figure out which Hogwarts house Alastor “Mad Eye” Moody was sorted into. Finally, John and Frak bring us up to date on their excellent eating adventures in California, the quartet’s favorite Jason Isaacs role, and a new contest that allows you buy a real life (virtual) PotterCaster for yourself.

ZOMGGG I turned on iTunes and it was downloading a new Pottercast!! I was so extatic!! THANK YOUZ
BTW I LOVE THAT ITS GONNA BE A FOURSOME!!! FRAK= AMAZING New host! hheehe
k rant done.
WOOO!! I didn’t know if there’d be a new one this week (since the one last week was late), so I’m quite happy to see this new one!
JOOOY
Yay!!! The new pottercast!!! Now I can go do the dishes while doing something that is actually fun… what a concept!
I’m three weeks behind on Pottercast! I don’t have a convenient time to listen now that I quit my job (to have a baby in three weeks). I have a feeling that I may miss the next several weeks too, but at least I’ll have lots to catch up on when I’m staying at home after the baby comes! She’ll grow up on Harry Potter, I guess!
YES!!! The quartet FINALLY!! Can’t tell you how long I was waiting for such an episode, and when I saw I-Tunes downloading it, I was like, YAYY!!! Can’t wait to listen!!! :-D
Must go download right now! lol
sorry kinda off topic but were the april fools prank? lol come on leaky there always so intresting lol
John Noe, I’ve been meaning to tell you I’m in love with your voice ;) i
and i have a question I would love to hear talked about: why can Harry not see thestrals until book 5 after he has seen Cedric die, when obviously he watched his mom die when he was little. Is this because he is too young of age?I dunno, i just reread book 5 and its bugging me.
thanks for getting me through another day, you guys!
Yaya i love pottercast! it makes my week! i hope you guys are not going to make me supper depressed and tell me that you will talking about books other than HP as part of your weekly shows!!!!!! P.S i always have loved you show (you were my first podcast ever) and have always loved the trio but i dont think it would be a bad idea to keep Frack around hint hint ;) anyway i love you all esp. Sue Hufflepuffs forever!
3 things – 1: Frak you laugh just like Ewan McGregor! 2: Have you guys ever asked JK why Ravenclaw’s mascot is an eagle! Ravens are so much more clever or why not just call it Eagleclaw? 3: Thanks for finally talking personally about the lawsuit. I too love the Lexicon but cannot support the book version fiasco.
Hey Frak (Pellegrino!),
I can tell you from personal experience that the spell for making ice (in your drink, or across your lawn) is “ZAMBONI!”. ;)
OMG this just makes me jump for joy…...nothing more to say =))))))))
Yes, when are you going to get around to the acting troupe stuff?
John + Sue + Melissa + Frak = Pottercast love2 (It’s supposed to be a little two)
