A new edition of Canon Conundrums follows with a discussion on Madam Pomfrey’s Hogwarts House affiliation along with another Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff showdown. Bit-by-Bit is up next finishing off the second half of Chapter 11 of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” where we find out more about Albus Dumbledore’s family.

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.

My wand is Apple, 13 inches, Unicorn Hair (The link is on pottercast.com, for those who are asking).

Snape didn’t hex Hermione’s teeth to grow ridiculously overlarge. If I’m not mistaken, Draco Malfoy did. Snape merely sneered at the girl, saying coldly: “I see no difference.”

the male auditions were amazing. what did number 5 read from? it was more theatrical monologue-ish than harry potter but i really loved it.
Mahogany, 14”, Dragon Heartstring.

Hate to break everyone’s wand, but the wand test only relies on two questions to determine its answer!
“Which of these things do you prize most about yourself?”
and
“Which of these describes your personality?”
The first of the above questions determines your wand wood and the second determines your core. The others don’t seem to affect the outcome at all. Just thought I’d let everyone know!

Why did iTunes only download the first 21:18? What happened to the rest of PotterCast 150?

I put my vote in for a change of topic for Canon Conundrums!

PotterCast 150 on the homepage stops at the 11:32 mark. Why? Can someone please fix PotterCast 150 on iTunes and the homepage so I could listen to it? Thank you!

Good show, guys. I absolutely love the moment when you’re talking about what jobs you’d have in the wizarding world and then suddenly you all get overwhelmed with how cool it would be to actually do those things and live in that world, and how it really kind of sucks that none of it is real. I think those feelings really sum up what’s most amazing about the books.
I mean we know, we KNOW, that none of it is real, but still—it’s SO MUCH FUN to think about living in it!

Am I the only one having problems listening to PotterCast 150? The people in charge of uploading the show, can you please fix the show so I could show so I could listen to it? Again, the first 21:18 is all that downloaded on iTunes, and only the first 11:32 plays on the PotterCast player on the homepage. The help would be very much appreciated! Thank you!
