“First up in Sue’s news, we update you on photos of the Disney World Harry Potter theme park that have appeared online”
You are aware, that the Harry Potter themed area (not theme park) will be at Universal’s Island’s of Adventure, and not Disney World, right?
I listened to the show way before the news about it came up. Anyway, I really enjoyed your show ( as always) but where was that wand core test ? :) I want to find out what my wand core is.
Congrats guys on making it to your 150th episode ! Keep up the great work =)
Yay for the new crafty segment (and boo-hiss for being at work and unable to download the new episode yet… there are mondays when I would consider bringing my laptop in to work and connecting to the wireless just to get Pottercast earlier since I’m away from home until late every Monday…)
I always enjoy the podcast. Never stop them!
By question, what was the link to the wand wood/core website that you all used? I want to try!
SnapeFan, I’m sure they are very aware of the location of the HP theme park, but last year they had an unofficial Disney Land day, and now they are doing the same thing in Florida.
Love the podcast! its great :) its funny likstening to american people! i love the accent, it makes a change from the english one :L thanks keep up the goodwork :)
what’s this rumor about the trailer that might happen by the time(NOW!!!!) that this podcast has aired?[/B]
@hannah
I’m American and I’ve always wondered what an American accent would sound like if I were a foreigner. I love the British accent. Try as I might, the standard American dialect always sounds like “normal talk” and I just can’t make out the accent. Weird.
Yay!
After a long trip with train from Stockholm to Oslo, PotterCast makes me happy again!

Great show guys! is that baby laugh for real? and I love the leaky song at the end.
Yay for you guys :) Happy 150th!
By the way Kevin, PotterCast generally doesn’t go on iTUnes until about Tuesday for me. I use the Canadian Store though, so, I think it depends on what country you are in.
For anyone who wanted the ink for the wand site, it’s actually in this post. It’s at the bottom of the list of what’s in this episode, and above the time for the episode. Thanks for the link guys, my want is Tulip and Kelpie Hair, 11 1/4 inches.
Acting troupe auditions. They’re all too awesome. I don’t know how I’ll ever choose a best.
Wow!! 150 episodes!! What an awesome job you have all been doing!! I hope the next 150 episodes have future J.K. interviews, house elf debates, and Kung Fu Snape! I will listen eagerly!
My wand is Apple, 13 inches, Unicorn Hair (The link is on pottercast.com, for those who are asking).
