After a bit of a break for the 4th of July, PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast, is back this week with our 159th episode of Harry Potter news, discussion, and fun. The news came pouring in this week, and Sue is here to bring you information on the first high-res stills from the “Half-Blood Prince” film, the HBP video game trailer, a new interview with Stuart Craig from Movie Magic Magazine, theme park updates, and more. The PotterCasters continue on with Chapter 13 of “Deathly Hallows” in the next installment of Bit by Bit. This week, the topic of the Trio in the Ministry with Umbrdige is covered along with a discussion on the different descriptive traits used for various characters. Next up, we introduce a brand new PotterCast segment called: Guess that Book. This new call-out game gives listeners the chance to guess a particular quote from one of the seven Harry Potter novels in this fun new segment. This episode concludes with a WrapUp that gives you updates on the PotterCast Tour, another spoiler from Melissa’s book, ComicCon news, and a shout out to the editors!

So I am assuming I’ll see you kids at the Harry and the Potters concert in Ann Arbor August 5th?

Good show, guys! I especially liked the long news chat and the Bit-by-Bit.

Good question about what Umbridge did to make her Patronus last so long in the courtroom. My guess is that you can add extra charms “on top of” the Patronus spell to make the Patronus do what you want it to do. Thus the Order would use one charm to give their Patronuses the power to convey messages, and Umbridge would use another charm to make her Patronus pace the room.

I love Bit by Bit…but….their is something that’s getting to me, and you guys keep doing it.

You skip out on those beautiful moments between Ron and Hermione. First, you guys made the complaint that the movies don’t do it, but then you don’t even talk about it!

After the ministry, there is the scene where Ron was ‘fretting over the fate of the Cattermoles’ and Hermione looked at him ‘with such tenderness’ that Harry felt like he caught her in the act of kissing him.

That is a beautiful line.

Why didn’t you talk about it, guys! Give the shippers some love!
