Pottercast!

YAY! The tour shows have been awesome but I’ve missed our regular PotterCasts. Glad they’re back. :)

So basically, this episode is a big ad for Melissa’s book? Not that I’m not looking forward to it but geez, way to really take advantage of the listeners by pushing HAH talk on us.

yaya! Harry a History! Go milissa! cant wait to read the book!

Yayy!!! Finally back to the old Pottercast!! The tour was wonderful, but I missed the regular episodes. Can’t wait to listen!!!

So basically, this episode is a big ad for Melissa’s book? Not that I’m not looking forward to it but geez, way to really take advantage of the listeners by pushing HAH talk on us. Posted by Mevio on September 29, 2008 @ 11:33 PM LOLOLOL, my thoughts exactly.

Actually, the canon stuff from Jo that they cover on the Pottercast is actually stuff CUT from the Harry, A History (so I think, as I recall Melissa saying this). Its not relevant to the book as the book is about the impact on people’s lives. the fans, world events etc. Its not about what goes on behind the veil or other canon. SO Melissa decided to tell us about the cannon rather than it be buried. So I for one is thankful for that!

what’s new about dobby’s eye?

squee! I agree with the Hufflepuff Giraffe, I’ve missed the regular shows! But it will have to wait until I get home from work for me to listen:( And Melissa – dont listen to the haters! Plug your book and share more canon with us all you want! I cant wait to hear more about the veil and whatever else you’ve got for us:)

Loved the episode, as always it was a lot of fun. Just one thing though. I may have been a little hyper-sensitive while listening to the episode, but I felt atheism was being a bit maligned. It just took me aback somewhat with how everyone seemed to think it was necessary to make it clear that Hermione wasn’t an atheist, treating as though that would be a bad thing. Is it such a problem if she was? It sounded like you were being (for lack of a better word) defensive. I’m sure that wasn’t your intention, but it just came across like that a bit. Sorry for the gripe.

From a PotterCast-loving Atheist

Melissa—I’m glad you aren’t shying away from talking about your book on the podcast. I’ve worked with big publishing houses and know first-hand how little publishers do for the first-timers in terms of publicity. You have to be your own best advocate, so rock on, girl. And I think discussion of HAH is appropriate for the podcast. Long-time readers of Leaky are likely to be interested in your book, as it’s an extension of what goes on here every day. Congratulations!

CONGRATULATIONS MELISSA!!!!!!!!! :D I’m so happy your book got published; it’s got to be exciting! :)

Hooray for Pottercast!

yeah what is the dobby eye thing? i am not going to listen because that person said it was offensive to atheists and i am not in the mood to get offended. there is nothing wrong with being an atheist (actually i think it is the right thing perosnally, but i dont act like religion is bad) so please tell me!
