PotterCast
The 143rd episode of PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast, is online this evening with a lengthy discussion about the recent confirmation of a two part “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” film, with Director David Yates and Screenwriter Steve Kloves returning as well. As it is the big news of the week, Melissa, Sue, and guest host Frak talk about the WB confirmation, David Yates and Steve Kloves returning, and reaction from various cast members and crew. Next, Bit-by-Bit covers the second half of Chapter Nine of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” where we discuss Draco’s alliances and Harry’s visions. Our Scribby Five girls are here as well talking about the “What Is the Crux of a Soul?” essay in their recently released issue of Scribbulus. Finally, in the fabulous, fierce, and furosh Wrap Up of this week’s episode we make it work while talking some Harry Potter themed Project Runway ideas and much more.

Man I’ve been waiting for The Trio’s and well I guess Frak’s reaction!!!! I sure miss John…=[[[
I never get enough of Jo’s intro! Never change it! (like u would ever replace the author’s intro on a potter site!)
Ahhhhhhhhh I’msoexcitedforthisone. :DDDDD Downloading!!!
OMG YES I wasnt expecting a pottercast today when I opened iTunes!!!

Dang… I wished you’d’ve done Canon Conundrums… would much rather have that than Scribby 5.

Yay, I’m downloading it! I just need to find my iPod connecter!
AH! I’ve been waiting for this one. I SO agree with Sue about part 1 ending at Dobby’s death. Frak also sparked some interest in me about ending it at them riding on the dragon after breaking out of Gringotts (at first I thought it was too late, but then I sort of realized that there actually is A LOT that happens afterwards), it would indeed be a cool ending.
ahh this was so awesome!!!! I think Frak’s idea about the first half of the DH movie ending after gringotts with the dragon is a great idea, never would have thought of that myself!!!!
The split has to be before Malfoy Manor, so the second part starts just like the first part (should) start, with ppl in the dark, going up the road to Malfoy Manor.
I have only recently become a PC addict and this one was so awesome. I loved loved loved hearing the reactions to the 2 movie news and Yates and all of it. It was a great episode. I too like the idea of ending it after Gringotts … and if not there then it would have to be after Ron destroys the locket.
My I-Tunes isn’t downloading it :-( , can’t WAIT to listen to this episode, I was waiting for it!!
hey this is the first time i have ever done this not on myspace yeah oblivion is just like the name says it its you will play till you go brain dead but pottercast is awsome i just satred lisening to it like a week ago and im hooked but im in japan at the moment so i cant tell them i want to be on the show but when i get back please let me be the 4th host
pellegrino!!!
I totally agree with what Frak was saying about Yates being an actors’ director and the change he got out of the young actors compared to the previous films. That’s my main reason for being happy that he’s directing all the rest. I think the acting is going to be important from now on.
Having heard the discussion about the split, I’m also now liking the idea of a split just when Voldemort breaks into DD’s tomb and claims the wand, which is kind of a cliffhanger for those who haven’t read the book, and it’s also the point when Harry finally realizes what DD wanted from him.
We were watching GOF last night and I also TOTALLY agree with Frak about the red herrings too! We kept on picking them out in the film and the Karkarok entering the great hall is the biggest of them, but there are others too.
And I also agree with what they said about the Epilogue, that the actors should be the same. 35 really isn’t that old (speaking as a 36 year old!). There aren’t many wrinkles, or even grey hair on me and I look pretty similar to what I did in my 20s, if just a bit more tired! I think they can give the boys a bit of stubble and ‘older’ haircuts and clothing.
