We've opened an intriguing thread in the Public Inn. Another one will be introduced tomorrow. Tonight's thread is all about Temptation. [21:11] <Morgan_Noxwell> lately I've been tempted by the girl scout cookies. [21:11] <Aislinn> We will be starting the discussion in a few minutes. You’re not going to be able to type for a few minutes while we make some announcements, please bear with us, you’ll be able to type again soon. [21:12] <Aislinn> There may be times during the chat when a moderator will want to PM something to you. Please keep an eye on the top of your screen, right next to the button with #Lounge on it. A button will appear with one of the mods' names on it. If you see that appear, click on it to see the PM that has been sent to you by that mod [21:12] <Aislinn> You won’t be able to reply to that PM, but if you could just say something like "Sooner, got it” in the main chat, to let us know that you have seen it, that will be great. We'd also like to remind you that the rules of the Lounge also apply here in the Corner Booth, and may be found here: http://www.leakylounge.com/?act=rules [21:12] <Aislinn> If you need to contact us during the chat, send one, or all, of us a PM on the Lounge. We will be checking them regularly, but if we haven't replied after a little while then please let us know here that you have sent a PM. Thanks for your cooperation! [21:12] <Aislinn> While its easy to drift off in various directions, let's all try to have a fun chat by sticking to the topic for today. OK, moving on to the topic for the chat! [21:12] <futureweasley> Welcome to this moderator-led discussion of PotterCast 78! Canon Conundrums is about why Voldemort went to Albania and this week's interview was with Jenna from DanRadcliffe.com. First, let's start with this week's news...! [21:12] <futureweasley> EA Games has started opening the "Order of Phoenix" part of their website. Not much is on there yet, but have you checked out what the main characters will look like? What did you think of their likenesses: http://www.masterthemagic.com/op/screenshots.html ? [21:13] <Morgan_Noxwell> I've quite enjoyed the design and art work of the characters....each game gets better and better [21:13] <Greeneyes15> [21:13] <danae24> I hadnt looked at the screenshots, but they look really good!!! [21:14] <danae24> but Harry doesnt really look much like Dan [21:14] <KimmyBlair> I havn't looked either... only the old screenshots [21:14] <shinsplintssuck> woah, that's kinda creepy. cool though! [21:14] <Morgan_Noxwell> I think Ron and Harry look a bit off [21:14] <Morgan_Noxwell> as well as the cho character [21:14] <Greeneyes15> Hello?? [21:14] <danae24> I do think so too.... [21:14] <Morgan_Noxwell> but all in all it's quite enjoyable [21:14] <futureweasley> I am a little pumped about the new game. I'm not much of a gamer, but I think this one my find me converting after DH is released [21:15] <danae24> Hermione really looks just like Emma and Snape........ wow [21:15] <KimmyBlair> they seem more realiztic now [21:15] <danae24> that's true [21:15] <MrMcGonagall> I'm not that into the video games. [21:15] <Greeneyes15> I'm excited for the new game too! i sink a games, but o well laugh [21:15] <futureweasley> Video games are cool...I just have ZERO hand-eye coordination [21:15] <danae24> I really want to play this video game..... I hope i can get a wii to play it [21:15] <KimmyBlair> I wait untill someone else makes a walkthrough.. then i try it [21:15] <danae24> hahaha [21:15] <KimmyBlair> are they not making it on gamecube! [21:15] <futureweasley> it's a miracle I can type...siriusly [21:16] <Greeneyes15> i just want to walk through hogwarts and stuff like that [21:16] <Aislinn> I'm not very good at them either, future [21:16] <Greeneyes15> laugh Future! [21:16] <Expelliarmas> i always wait for the walkthroughs [21:16] <danae24> I want to try the spells [21:16] <Expelliarmas> and then i cheat cheat cheat [21:16] <KimmyBlair> hahahah [21:16] <danae24> Cheats rule!!! [21:16] <KimmyBlair> same here expi! [21:16] <futureweasley> cheaters never prosper [21:16] <Morgan_Noxwell> lol [21:16] <danae24> in video games they do..... [21:16] <cbm> I need the hi def tv first [21:17] <futureweasley> hold on guys... [21:17] <danae24> Not much.... it's no case that I buy a HD HP dvd if I dont have a HD tv or an HD player [21:17] <futureweasley> let's do this correctly [21:17] <futureweasley> The high-definition DVD of "Goblet of Fire" was described this last week as stunning, and one of the best HD DVD's out so far. Does this news make you more excited to buy it when it comes out in the U.S. later this year? [21:17] <KimmyBlair> there we go! [21:17] <KimmyBlair> I will probably wait [21:17] <Aislinn> meh - GoF wasa my least favorite of the movies [21:17] <Greeneyes15> Yes! i'm excited to see it in HD! [21:17] <KimmyBlair> I dont'have a highdev DVD player [21:17] <danae24> I'll wait to buy them...... sadly [21:17] <Morgan_Noxwell> I understand how they want them to "look" like their adult counterparts, but sometimes I think it's a bit over board. [21:17] <KimmyBlair> or tv [21:17] <futureweasley> me too Kimmy [21:17] <Morgan_Noxwell> like Pettigrew [21:17] <cbm> When I get the tv, I will buy them [21:17] <Greeneyes15> we have HD and it's great! [21:18] <Expelliarmas> since I didnt care for the movie itself, i can't imagine an HD dvd of GOF would thrill me [21:18] <futureweasley> even though I usually buy everything I can get that has "HP" on it [21:18] <Morgan_Noxwell> and I also don't have HD... but my comment was for the marauders. [21:18] <MrMcGonagall> I don't have an HD tv anyway. And I didn't like the 4th movie. [21:18] <danae24> HD tv's are too expensive right now... so I'll wait until they get cheaper [21:18] <KimmyBlair> I'd wait to see if they have like a 1-7 movie box set in HIgh def [21:18] <Expelliarmas> now, if they gave the view the option to see the film with the cut-out scenes where they belonged, that might make a difference. [21:19] <Greeneyes15> we just got a HD TV for x-mas and it really awesome! things really come to life! it's so clear [21:19] <KimmyBlair> i hope they have more of the delted scenes [21:19] <KimmyBlair> or Peeves [21:19] <danae24> What I do hope is that after they release the HD dvd's they release dvd's with all the HD dvd's special features [21:19] <danae24> otherwise I will never see all that stuff (unless I win the lotto) [21:19] <Greeneyes15> [21:19] *** cbm has quit [Bye] [21:20] <Greeneyes15> Me too danae! [21:20] <KimmyBlair> aww Greeneyes! you seem to be hving problems! [21:20] <Greeneyes15> What Kim? [21:21] <Morgan_Noxwell> I might buy it at some point but not right away [21:21] <futureweasley> Have you seen the new photos of the young Marauders mentioned in this and other TLC news items: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#article:9544 ? How well do you think they match the older versions of themselves in the movies? [21:21] <KimmyBlair> you keep comming up blank lines! [21:21] <Aislinn> you have blank posts in here, greeneyes - I've not seen that before [21:21] <Morgan_Noxwell> I understand how they want them to "look" like their adult counterparts, but sometimes I think it's a bit over board. [21:21] <KimmyBlair> They are pretty close [21:21] <shinsplintssuck> Is that Lupin next to sirius or is it james? [21:21] <Greeneyes15> i know, sry. my computer is messed up and does that [21:21] <Morgan_Noxwell> i think its james [21:21] <Greeneyes15> sorry [21:21] <danae24> I got all confused with that picture..... [21:21] <KimmyBlair> Young pettigrew is insanely close [21:21] <Greeneyes15> i do not like how james looks [21:21] <shinsplintssuck> snape is cool looking [21:21] <danae24> Why does James have blond/brownish hair???? [21:21] <futureweasley> Which pic? Dan and Evanna holding hands? [21:21] <danae24> Snape looks cool....... really emo!! [21:21] <futureweasley> oh, the Marauders [21:22] <Expelliarmas> i wish james had messy hair [21:22] <futureweasley> nevermind [21:22] <Morgan_Noxwell> no the young group [21:22] <shinsplintssuck> i wish james had dark hair [21:22] <MrMcGonagall> I haven't seen the photo yet. I'm a bad fan. [21:22] <danae24> I wanted James with jet black hair [21:22] <Greeneyes15> i wish james looked more like Harry [21:22] <Expelliarmas> that too sss [21:22] <Morgan_Noxwell> ditto danae [21:22] <shinsplintssuck> is he supposed to have glasses? [21:22] <Greeneyes15> sirius looks good and so does snape [21:22] <danae24> yes [21:22] <KimmyBlair> no [21:22] <KimmyBlair> hahhaha [21:22] <shinsplintssuck> ha [21:22] <Morgan_Noxwell> I thought james had glasses [21:23] <KimmyBlair> hmm... [21:23] <futureweasley> I don't think so, Morgan [21:23] <Greeneyes15> does he have glasses? [21:23] <danae24> James doesnt have glasses??? [21:23] <Morgan_Noxwell> wow [21:23] <futureweasley> actually...I don't think that's canon [21:23] <Expelliarmas> i thought he had glasses? [21:23] <Morgan_Noxwell> well... what were they thinking? [21:23] <Greeneyes15> i'm getting confused [21:23] <Greeneyes15> glasses or no glasses [21:23] <futureweasley> I didn't think he did [21:23] <shinsplintssuck> he did in goblet and SS didn't he? [21:23] <Morgan_Noxwell> yeah... in the mirror [21:23] <MrMcGonagall> sometimes people's hair does get darker as they get older. Mine did. [21:23] <Morgan_Noxwell> and prior [21:23] <Morgan_Noxwell> priori [21:23] <shinsplintssuck> yeah [21:23] <Aislinn> yes, Mr M - that happens to a lot of people [21:24] <KimmyBlair> I'm searching the lexicon right now [21:24] <futureweasley> but that's probably because of the movies...I think he may have had glasses once he got older...but I don't recall it being that way from his younger years [21:24] <Greeneyes15> yeah, but i think james was born with black hair like harry was [21:24] <Aislinn> but it would have started by the age the Marauders are in this scene [21:24] <Morgan_Noxwell> well... it's not blonde...I think it's just the sun reflection [21:24] <danae24> That's true Greeneyes [21:24] <shinsplintssuck> i want to see a pic of lily [21:24] <Greeneyes15> I think so too morgan, but it's definatly not black [21:24] <danae24> but it looks too brownish... it's supposed to be really dark [21:24] <Morgan_Noxwell> right [21:25] <KimmyBlair> it's hair [21:25] <KimmyBlair> i'm glad they left the scene in [21:25] <Greeneyes15> yeah, but the wrong hair kim! [21:25] <MrMcGonagall> I'm willing to go with whatever if he plays the role well. [21:25] <shinsplintssuck> yeah same [21:25] <danae24> Hair... it's such a mess in OotP [21:25] <shinsplintssuck> lol [21:25] <Morgan_Noxwell> poor neville [21:25] <MrMcGonagall> Everyone acts from their hair. [21:25] <Morgan_Noxwell> smile [21:25] <MrMcGonagall> LOL [21:25] <Greeneyes15> aww...neville! now that's some hair on him! [21:26] <futureweasley> Have you visited the new part of TLC: http://www.HarryPotterSeven.com ? Which of the essays have you read so far? [21:26] <danae24> lets hope the movie is good enough to make us forget about bad hair and the fact that Harry now has blue eyes [21:26] <futureweasley> I LOVE HARRYPOTTERSEVEN.COM (sorry Caps) [21:26] <futureweasley> but I do [21:26] <danae24> I have read Steve's one....... it's really cool!!!!

[21:30] <Greeneyes15> me too danae! [21:30] <futureweasley> but you can find it here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#static:bookseven/hogwarts [21:30] <futureweasley> siriusly, it's THAT good... [21:31] <Greeneyes15> i have to get my dad to unblock it [21:31] <futureweasley> Now on to Canon Conundrums about why Voldemort was in Albania prior to Book 1... How long after Voldemort's first downfall do you think he went to Albania? [21:31] <Morgan_Noxwell> yes it's worth it. [21:31] <Morgan_Noxwell> hmmm depends on his condition... [21:31] <KimmyBlair> hmmm... [21:31] <KimmyBlair> see i 'd never really thought of this [21:31] <MrMcGonagall> I think rather soon. Running away is the way he rolls [21:31] <Greeneyes15> mee either Kimmy [21:32] <danae24> I think he went over there because he had to get really far from England [21:32] <Morgan_Noxwell> I mean, I almost see him fleeing across the countries for a few days or weeks. [21:32] <Morgan_Noxwell> in a weakened state. [21:32] <Expelliarmas> vapormort wafted over to albania as soon as the winds took him there [21:32] <danae24> he wanted to get strong without anyone knowing, and what better way to do it in Albania [21:32] <KimmyBlair> I thik he went quickly... [21:32] <KimmyBlair> hahahah :imagines him wafting: [21:32] <Morgan_Noxwell> but think about it.... how quickly could he have gone if he was reduced to almost nothing? [21:32] <MrMcGonagall> He flits, he floats, he fleetly flees, he flies . . . [21:33] <Morgan_Noxwell> unless someone helped him [21:33] <danae24> hahahah [21:33] <Greeneyes15> heehee mr.m! [21:33] <KimmyBlair> with a big fan [21:33] <danae24> I think the wind took vapormort and just dragged him to Albania [21:33] <Expelliarmas> kinda like nearly headless nick in cos [21:33] <Aislinn> I do too, kimmy - I think he floated off to find a safe place as soon as he could [21:33] <danae24> and there he got stuck in a tree..... [21:34] <MrMcGonagall> I think he wanted to put as much distance between himself and Godric's Hollow as possible. [21:34] <Aislinn> agreed Mr M [21:34] <futureweasley> How do you think Voldemort got across the ocean to get toward Albania when he was only a vapor or a "spirit"? [21:34] <MrMcGonagall> Although one would think that he would ahve hung around waiting for a DE to come to his aid. [21:34] <Greeneyes15> yeah, Mr.M [21:34] <Morgan_Noxwell> do you think he knew what would be in albania when he got there? like, he knew he could restore himself there somehow? [21:34] <danae24> When you are that weak, you get away from your enemies...... DD wouldnt have looked for Vapormort in Albania [21:34] <danae24> or Alabama [21:35] <MrMcGonagall> Well, I imagine travel as a noncorporeal being is prety easy. [21:35] <KimmyBlair> yeah... [21:35] <KimmyBlair> no need for a passport [21:35] <danae24> it must be [21:35] <KimmyBlair> perhaps that's where the animals he possesed were going [21:36] <Morgan_Noxwell> that's an interesting point Kimmy... maybe he accidentally hitched a ride in something and ended up there in safety.... [21:36] <Morgan_Noxwell> I understand how they want them to "look" like their adult counterparts, but sometimes I think it's a bit over board. [21:36] <KimmyBlair> i have no concrete thoughs on this... [21:36] <Morgan_Noxwell> oops [21:36] <Morgan_Noxwell> haha [21:36] <Aislinn> that's what I wonder, kimmy - he may have possessed animals right away [21:36] <Morgan_Noxwell> I think I copied and posted something from before. [21:36] <danae24> I think that in Albania was something that would have helped him get stronger again [21:36] <KimmyBlair> he's always been comfortable with animals [21:36] <Aislinn> and then forced them to head in that direction [21:36] <KimmyBlair> i think he did sort of poses them quikly... [21:37] <KimmyBlair> it's the first place he realized he had magic... [21:37] <Morgan_Noxwell> did he have the strength to do that? [21:37] <KimmyBlair> i think so? [21:37] <Aislinn> good question morgan [21:37] <Morgan_Noxwell> he was just blasted with a killing curse that bounced off a small baby boy... I know I'd be sore. [21:37] <danae24> but animals dont last too much.... they arent strong enough to be possesed by LV [21:38] <Aislinn> he possessed them for brief periods, danae, but yes, it did kill them eventually [21:38] <MrMcGonagall> I wonder why he would feel the need to possess animals at all, as it seems a spirit could exist on its own. [21:38] <Morgan_Noxwell> so how fast could he have gone..unless they were birds ? [21:38] <Morgan_Noxwell> or fast creatures. [21:38] <Morgan_Noxwell> but wasn't he reduced to almost nothing [21:38] <Aislinn> maybe it doesn't take as much effort to force yourself to exist if you are inhabiting a body Mr M [21:38] <Expelliarmas> i dont get why he didnt just possess some hapless muggle [21:38] <futureweasley> In the Book 4 graveyard scene, Voldemort seemed to think his followers should have and could have found him. Even Dumbledore in some of the early books seemed certain that Voldemort was hiding in Albania. Do you think Albania is some place Voldemort had spent time before his first downfall? Might there be a horcrux hidden in Albania? [21:38] <MrMcGonagall> True, Aislinn. [21:39] <Morgan_Noxwell> he was too weak to maybe do that expell. [21:39] <MrMcGonagall> I don't think there's a horcrux there. [21:39] <KimmyBlair> I think they raised a good point that he implies that the DE's should of known where he was [21:39] <Expelliarmas> i think LV spent time in Albania honing his Dark Arts skills [21:39] <Morgan_Noxwell> I don't know if a horcrux is there... [21:39] <KimmyBlair> that makes me think he had some past there [21:39] <Greeneyes15> i agree morgan [21:39] <KimmyBlair> me too expi [21:39] <MrMcGonagall> There must be a reason as to why they should have thought to go to Albania. [21:40] <Morgan_Noxwell> I think they were too scared to return to voldy [21:40] <KimmyBlair> exactly Mr.McG [21:40] <danae24> Albania must be a place where the Dark Arts is really big, becaus to even make Quirrell want to go there to study Dark Arts, it must be that, so it would have sounded logical that LV would have hidden in there [21:40] <Greeneyes15> just what i was thinkin Mr.M [21:40] <MrMcGonagall> Yet it doesn't sound like even his most devoted DEs had a real clue. The Lestranges tortured the Longbottoms trying to obtain information. [21:40] <Morgan_Noxwell> yes, maybe albania has a strong dark magic.... could Krum be going to school in that area? but either way, I think the DE didn't come back b/c they were too scared...voldy just got almost killed by a small child... [21:40] <Expelliarmas> how close is albania to bulgaria and durmstrang? it could be an area where dark arts are more readily acceepted [21:41] <Greeneyes15> guys, i gotta go! [21:41] <KimmyBlair> I agree they didn't go back they were scared [21:41] <KimmyBlair> bye! [21:41] <Expelliarmas> peter mangaed to find LV in albania, did he not? [21:41] <KimmyBlair> yes... [21:41] <futureweasley> bye greeneye15 [21:41] <danae24> I think the DE's just got shocked to know that their boss had "died" so they didnt think about looking for Vapormort in Albania [21:41] <Aislinn> bye greeneye [21:41] <Expelliarmas> and he's not the brightest wand in the forest [21:41] <Greeneyes15> see ya'all in the RGs when we're sorted! i've missed you all so much already! [21:41] <danae24> bye greeneyes! [21:41] <MrMcGonagall> I've wondered whether Albania doesn't have a connection to Herpo the Foul, the Greek wizard who was the first Parselmouth. [21:41] <Aislinn> ooh, interesting Mr M [21:41] <Greeneyes15> bye1 [21:42] <futureweasley> Location, landscape (mostly mountains or woods), and other reasons have historically meant that Albania used to be considered as a closed, secretive, and mysterious place. Do you think this is part of the reason Jo chose it as the place Voldemort would hide? [21:42] *** Greeneyes15 has quit [Bye] [21:42] <Morgan_Noxwell> maybe Mr. M [21:42] <KimmyBlair> Yes [21:42] <Morgan_Noxwell> sure why not. smile [21:43] <Morgan_Noxwell> it's mysterious and works out nicely [21:43] <futureweasley> lol [21:43] <danae24> Yes..... I like what Melissa said... when you hear Albania, you think this dark forest, evil place, so it sounds perfect to hide LV in there [21:43] <KimmyBlair> exactly Danae [21:43] <Morgan_Noxwell> maybe there is some folk culture that Jo studied up on and thought Hey this will work! [21:43] <futureweasley> well, I think that, to survive, Voldemort needed seclusion [21:44] <MrMcGonagall> It sounds pretty remote. And Eastern Europe seemed to have more than their share of dark wizards and seedier creatures of the magical world. [21:44] <futureweasley> Albania seems like a Dark sort of "Oasis"...a place where dark could find a home [21:44] <danae24> I agree future! [21:45] <Aislinn> Only 15 minutes left, everyone! This has been a great chat! I want to remind you all that this transcript can be found at the PotterCast Forum http://www.leakylounge.com/PotterCast-f104.html. [21:45] <futureweasley> The interview was with Jenna from DanRadcliffe.com, who saw the play "Equus" during the preview week. What was your favorite part of the interview? [21:46] <danae24> all of it! [21:46] <MrMcGonagall> Separating Dan the actor from Dan as Harry Potter. [21:46] <futureweasley> Jenna loves Dan...it's obvious from the way she talks about him. She loves what she does for DanRadcliffe.com [21:46] <MrMcGonagall> What would the world be without fangirls? [21:46] <danae24> That's true... the fact that Dan can really step out of the Harry part to play deeper stuff...... [21:46] <futureweasley> yes MrMcG...you're absolutely right [21:46] <MrMcGonagall> LOL [21:46] <Morgan_Noxwell> I really liked what she had to say about Dan's work and his love for the fans but that he's quite busy [21:47] <futureweasley> I cannot stand that people think it's [21:47] <MrMcGonagall> He is extremely busy these days. [21:47] <futureweasley> "Harry" "stripping" on stage [21:47] <Morgan_Noxwell> she made it a point and I really thought about his schedule... [21:47] <futureweasley> it's not "Harry" and it's surely not "stripping" [21:47] <Morgan_Noxwell> I paused and really thought about ho wmuch this 17 yr old works [21:47] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, it bothers me that millions of people all over the world can only see Dan Radcliffe as Harry Potter. [21:47] <danae24> and it bring more seriousness to what Dan is doing.... that it's not something he can do on his normal day..... [21:48] <Morgan_Noxwell> I'm really glad he's doing something different.... esp. if it's something he loves doing. [21:48] <danae24> and that it's not Harry who is getting nude, but a true actor [21:48] <futureweasley> The interviews are normally before the Canon Conundrums, but the order was switched this week. Was this a refreshing change? What did you like or dislike about this week's order of segments? [21:48] <Morgan_Noxwell> HP got him on the path to do this other work... I'm glad he's taking advantage of it b/c I really want to see him playing other roles. [21:48] <MrMcGonagall> I actually like having the fan interview second. [21:48] <KimmyBlair> I think that was because it wasn't a fan interview, and they wanted to stress that so they moved the order [21:48] <danae24> No... I like having the Canon conundrum at the end... [21:48] *** HPotterExpert2 has joined #lounge [21:49] <MrMcGonagall> That's true, Kimmy. [21:49] <Morgan_Noxwell> I liked it thi way b/c CC usually runs into the wrap up and I feel it's too much at once. [21:49] <danae24> I agree Kimmy..... it wasnt much of a fan interview as it was more a review [21:49] <HPotterExpert2> hi all [21:49] <KimmyBlair> yeah... Jenna isn't really a "Fan" [21:49] <Morgan_Noxwell> the separations was different and nice [21:49] <KimmyBlair> well she is... but it's different [21:49] <danae24> haha [21:49] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, it was more of a peer interview, if you will. [21:50] <KimmyBlair> yeah [21:50] <futureweasley> I completely agree [21:50] <MrMcGonagall> Like when Hottt Cheryl is on. [21:50] <Morgan_Noxwell> I really can't wait to hear everyone review it b/c I can't go see it. [21:50] <danae24> well, as I remember, the modcast was placed first than the fan interviews...... so it's nice to have discussion first [21:50] <futureweasley> How cool is it that Melissa is writing a book about the Harry Potter fandom that will be out in 2008? [21:50] <Morgan_Noxwell> awesome!!! [21:50] <futureweasley> I'm so excited for her [21:51] <Morgan_Noxwell> I cannot wait to read it and support this wonderful HP fan and person [21:51] <danae24> It's awesome!!! I'm so glad that it's her the one who is going to write the HP fan book [21:51] <MrMcGonagall> She's an expert! [21:51] <danae24> there is no better person to write a book about HP fandom than one of the major HP fans [21:51] <futureweasley> I can't wait for her to sign one that says, "MJ, thanks for finding the typo on my business card. Love from Melissa" [21:52] <KimmyBlair> oh jeez [21:52] <danae24> MJ you are too lucky!!! [21:52] <MrMcGonagall> She'll do it for you, future! [21:52] <Morgan_Noxwell> I love that it's Melissa writing this book and not the website... I had problems with other fan written books and the commercial effect. I'm so glad it's her perspective, etc [21:52] <danae24> she will sign future's book "melisssa" [21:52] <futureweasley> I will likely be peddling her book from the trunk of my car...that's how I roll [21:53] <Morgan_Noxwell> I wonder what the title will be! [21:53] <danae24> at least we will have another book to look after after book 7 [21:53] <Morgan_Noxwell> actually it's a great thing for us fans b/c we'll be done reading HP and looking for another book [21:53] <danae24> that's true [21:53] <Morgan_Noxwell> smile [21:54] <futureweasley> What did you enjoy most about PotterCast 78? [21:54] <Morgan_Noxwell> the equus talk [21:54] <KimmyBlair> CC? [21:54] <MrMcGonagall> Canon Conundrums was good this week. [21:54] <danae24> John's version of Melissa's book [21:54] <HPotterExpert2> cc [21:54] <futureweasley> lol danae [21:54] <futureweasley> that wa funny [21:54] <danae24> CC takes the prize [21:54] <Morgan_Noxwell> and melissa's book announcement [21:55] <danae24> it was a good PotterCast 78 [21:55] <futureweasley> the book announcement was cool too [21:55] <MrMcGonagall> It was the best PotterCast 78 ever. [21:55] <futureweasley> I'm glad that PC78 is over...now we can get the live one from LONDON! Woot! [21:55] <Morgan_Noxwell> and that joke (best ever)will never get old for me [21:55] <HPotterExpert2> didn't it say about her book in the ny post?

[21:06] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, the Monday evening chat is more popular, but we'll have fun just the same. [21:06] <Theoriser> :p [21:06] <MrMcGonagall> Theoriser and I decided to start the questions a little earlier than usual to give us more time to discuss the PC, since it's only an hour chat anyway. [21:06] <danae24> I dont know... maybe around here in the lounge or on one of the CB chats [21:06] <cbm> I was there last night for a little bit, I had to take a call, so I left [21:07] <danae24> I like that Mr. M! [21:07] <cbm> That is a good idea, 45 minutes is too short [21:09] <danae24> I guess this will be another intimate chat..... [21:09] <MrMcGonagall> Oh a few more people will probably roll in. [21:09] <Theoriser> We will be starting the discussion in a few minutes. You’re not going to be able to type for a few minutes while we make some announcements, please bear with us, you’ll be able to type again soon. [21:09] <Theoriser> There may be times during the chat when a moderator will want to PM something to you. Please keep an eye on the top of your screen, right next to the button with #Lounge on it. A button will appear with one of the mods' names on it. If you see that appear, click on it to see the PM that has been sent to you by that mod [21:10] <Theoriser> You won’t be able to reply to that PM, but if you could just say something like "Sooner, got it” in the main chat, to let us know that you have seen it, that will be great. We'd also like to remind you that the rules of the Lounge also apply here in the Corner Booth, and may be found here: http://www.leakylounge.com/?act=rules [21:10] <Theoriser> If you need to contact us during the chat, send one, or all, of us a PM on the Lounge. We will be checking them regularly, but if we haven't replied after a little while then please let us know here that you have sent a PM. Thanks for your cooperation! [21:10] <Theoriser> While its easy to drift off in various directions, let's all try to have a fun chat by sticking to the topic for today. OK, moving on to the topic for the chat! [21:10] <MrMcGonagall> Welcome to this moderator-led discussion of PotterCast 78! Canon Conundrums is about why Voldemort went to Albania and this week's interview was with Jenna from DanRadcliffe.com. First, let's start with this week's news...! [21:11] <MrMcGonagall> EA Games has started opening the "Order of Phoenix" part of their website. Not much is on there yet, but have you checked out what the main characters will look like? What did you think of their likenesses: http://www.masterthemagic.com/op/screenshots.html ? [21:11] <danae24> I just saw those screencaps yesterday, and it's good...... even thought Harry and Ron dont look much alike Dan and Rupert [21:11] <cbm> I looked at it last night, not as good as I would hope, but it looks like they were optimized to improve game play [21:12] <danae24> I love how Snape really looks like Alan...... it's creepy [21:12] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, people seemed to think Snape and Hermione were spot-on, though. [21:12] *** Poet has joined #lounge [21:12] <Theoriser> that's a pretty good likeness [21:12] <MrMcGonagall> Hi, Poet! [21:12] *** mode/#lounge [+o Poet] by Snuffles [21:12] <Poet> hey [21:12] <Theoriser> of all of them, I think that ron looks the least like rupert [21:12] <MrMcGonagall> We're just discussing the EA games version of the characters. [21:13] <Poet> Cool - I thought the Ron image looked the best [21:13] <MrMcGonagall> Until I got into the fandom, I never realized how much they try to make the video games like the films. [21:13] <Poet> I didn't like Cho of course, but all the rest looked really neat [21:13] <Theoriser> I can't really tell if Cho looks like she does in the 5th film or not [21:13] <Poet> And from previous interviews on PotterCast I'm excited for the game. I might actually buy it for my computer [21:13] <danae24> Cho looks weird, and Harry looks too young to be 15 [21:14] <MrMcGonagall> B The high-definition DVD of "Goblet of Fire" was described this last week as stunning, and one of the best HD DVD's out so far. Does this news make you more excited to buy it when it comes out in the U.S. later this year? [21:14] <MrMcGonagall> The high-definition DVD of "Goblet of Fire" was described this last week as stunning, and one of the best HD DVD's out so far. Does this news make you more excited to buy it when it comes out in the U.S. later this year? [21:15] <danae24> It sounds great, but I will put off that purchase...... [21:15] <Poet> I wasn't too excited for it, but I was surprised by the descriptions [21:15] <danae24> I hope to get first the HD tv and then get the HD dvds...... [21:15] <MrMcGonagall> I would be the same, danae! [21:15] <Poet> I don't have a special tv or DVD player, but I might buy it for the commentary, and because my DVD is a little worn from overuse [21:16] <MrMcGonagall> I don't have an HD TV, so I'm happy for the moment with my plain old DVDs. [21:17] <Poet> Maybe someday they'll clean up the Movie 1 special effects and release it as an HD DVD as well [21:17] <MrMcGonagall> that would be nice, Poet. [21:17] <MrMcGonagall> I was a little underwhelmed by the special effects in the first film. [21:17] <cbm> HD would not fit on one DVD [21:17] <danae24> What I would love is that WB releases the normal dvds with those features..... I dont care if I have to wait for movie 7 to come out, but I seriously hope they do [21:17] <Poet> quite [21:18] <cbm> I doubt they will, it will make the demand higher for the hi def version [21:18] <Poet> I have a feeling HD is the format of the future - no more normal. TV stations and such have a deadline of when they have to go HD by, I believe. [21:18] <MrMcGonagall> Yes. A lot of TV programs are already going HD. [21:18] <Poet> (that deadline is not anytime soon, but....) [21:19] <Poet> it's still looming out there [21:19] <MrMcGonagall> I can be pretty patient about waiting for technology to come down in price before buying in. [21:19] <MrMcGonagall> I'm not a latest gadget kind of guy. [21:19] <MrMcGonagall> Have you seen the new photos of the young Marauders mentioned in this and other TLC news items: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#article:9544 ? How well do you think they match the older versions of themselves in the movies? [21:19] <cbm> I am too MrM, my main speakers on my system were build in 1973 [21:20] <cbm> built [21:20] <danae24> yeah.... but until they get the prices of the HD tvs, it wont be done [21:20] <danae24> I'm so mad at that photo........ I dont like the fact that James is blond/brownish...... [21:20] <Poet> Peter Pettigrew looks really neat, though the teeth could have been a little less ratty [21:20] <danae24> he should have black hair!!!!!! [21:20] <MrMcGonagall> Lots of people are disturbed by James' hair. [21:20] <Poet> Maybe it was just the outside lighting and the fact that it wasn't a very high quality picture? It sounded like the images were off stickers [21:21] <Poet> So the colors could have been off. I hope. [21:21] <danae24> I suppose that this movie doesnt care about the hair thing.... they are messing a lot with the hair....... as long as they dont make the weasleys blonde we are ok [21:21] <cbm> The special effect guys may change it, though dye would have been cheaper, or it could have been a bad scan, I will not complain until I see the movie [21:21] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, this Marauders' photo looked staged to me, so it may not reflect what we will really see in the context of the film. [21:22] <Poet> I hope we get a better one of young Lupin soon. I'm excited to see what he'll look like. I thought Snape was pretty acceptable [21:22] <MrMcGonagall> This was more promotional, I think. [21:22] <danae24> looks like a Stamp book [21:22] <cbm> Blacks and grays are easy to mess up when scanning in photos, it is very easy to get a tint into it that does not really exist [21:22] <MrMcGonagall> Weasleys with blond hair. The world would stop revolving on its axis. [21:22] <Theoriser> young snape looked accurate! [21:23] <Poet> I hope we get a shot of those "graying underwear" [21:23] <MrMcGonagall> Ewww. [21:23] <danae24> hahaha [21:23] <MrMcGonagall> Into the cauldron of shampoo with you, undies and all. [21:24] <Poet> I'm shocked Jo would even have him go outside. He must have gotten a sunburn sitting under that tree [21:24] <danae24> maybe Snape is not a big fan of washing [21:24] <Poet> :D [21:24] <MrMcGonagall> Without the layer of grease, he would be just a git, and that's not as much fun to say. [21:25] <cbm> I think that was clear from the very beginning [21:25] * MrMcGonagall has a wonderful new member avatar made for him by Poet. [21:25] <Poet> It did make it hit home more, to see the young Marauders. I am excited for the movies and feel very lucky the books are popular enough to have the movies coming out so soon after the books [21:25] <Poet> Yes, Snape is a very bad man (or not!) [21:26] <MrMcGonagall> Have you visited the new part of TLC: http://www.HarryPotterSeven.com ? Which of the essays have you read so far? [21:26] <danae24> Snape is a very bad man!!!! [21:26] <danae24> Those essays are great!1 [21:26] <cbm> very very very bad man! [21:26] <cbm> I have read a few of them, but I am very busy this week! [21:26] <Poet> I read the first couple - Steve's and the quotes one [21:26] <MrMcGonagall> This is such a brilliant project. It makes me feel good to be part of a website that does such great things. [21:26] <Poet> I also read ones written by some of the Corner Booth staff [21:27] <Poet> Sue's was fun to read as well. We have enough reading material for weeks and weeks [21:27] <MrMcGonagall> It is great to have these in the months leading up to DH. [21:28] <Poet> I was especially glad for the essay on Jo's quotes. I'd read all those quotes before, but it was nice to see them side by side [21:28] <MrMcGonagall> I've read the one on love and the one on creatures. [21:28] <danae24> I was reading future's essay yesterday..... It was great!!!! [21:28] <danae24> really ensightful!! [21:28] <Poet> Steve's essay on the events leading up to Deathly Hallows made me very nostalgic [21:28] <MrMcGonagall> Her Snapetunia one? [21:28] <Theoriser> I haven't had the chance to read any of them yet [21:29] <danae24> No, the one about Hogwarts [21:29] <MrMcGonagall> Didn't Aislinn write that one? [21:29] <Poet> Yeah and co-authored one too [21:29] <Poet> One was on Death Eaters [21:30] <danae24> ohhhhhhhhhh......... I got mistaken with the CB mods........ [21:30] <danae24> it was Aislinn [21:30] <Poet> I forget the other. Fawkes28 did the one on creatures I think [21:30] <MrMcGonagall> Anyway, lots of contributions from the awesome members of the CB! lol [21:30] <cbm> I like the name Snapetunia :) [21:30] <Poet> Oh yeah - Hogwarts [21:30] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, future did the Snapetunia essay in the February Scribbulus, I believe. [21:31] <MrMcGonagall> Now on to Canon Conundrums about why Voldemort was in Albania prior to Book 1... How long after Voldemort's first downfall do you think he went to Albania? [21:31] <cbm> I think he drifted there immediately [21:31] <Poet> It sounds like he wandered a little first [21:31] <MrMcGonagall> I don't think there was any hitch in his giddy-up. [21:31] <Poet> Less than a year though I imagine [21:31] <danae24> it took him a while, but I think his main destination was Albania/Alabama [21:31] <Poet> I agree danae24 [21:31] <Theoriser> probably straight away, but I don't know if he planned to go directly there or just ended up there [21:32] <MrMcGonagall> It does sound as though he fled rather quickly, but I'm surprised he wouldn't have hung around England a bit longer to allow the DEs an opportunity to find him. [21:32] <cbm> Maybe he was drawn there by something [21:32] <danae24> sorry to leave so soon guys, but I have to go and lunch........ [21:32] <Poet> Yeah [21:32] <danae24> see ya later guys!!!!! [21:32] <cbm> bye [21:32] <danae24> adios! [21:32] <Poet> bye [21:32] <MrMcGonagall> Bye, danae! [21:32] <Theoriser> bye [21:32] *** danae24 left #lounge [] [21:33] * cbm feels outnumbered by all of the mods [21:33] <Poet> Yes, its very odd - the whole Albania thing. I'm glad they chose to talk about it in Canon Conundrums [21:33] <Poet> !deop [21:33] *** mode/#lounge [-o Poet] by Snuffles [21:33] <Poet> there we go [21:33] <cbm> lol [21:33] <MrMcGonagall> Now cbm won't feel so alone. [21:33] <MrMcGonagall> We've achieved balance. Ohmmmmm... [21:34] <Theoriser> lol [21:34] <MrMcGonagall> How do you think Voldemort got across the ocean to get toward Albania when he was only a vapor or a "spirit"? [21:34] <Poet> I do think he left the UK as soon as possible, but I wonder if it took him a bit, because he had to avoid places where there were wizards [21:34] *** futureweasley has joined #lounge [21:34] <Poet> Maybe he possessed rats right from the start [21:34] <MrMcGonagall> Hi, future! [21:35] <futureweasley> I'm at work, I just stopped in to say hi [21:35] <Poet> He could always go by rat on a ship across the sea [21:35] <cbm> He could went through the air when he left on SS [21:35] <MrMcGonagall> I think he did, Poet. [21:35] <Poet> I've always wondered - since he was weak [21:35] <MrMcGonagall> It seems like it was easier for him to keep his spirit alive if he had a host body to sustain him. [21:35] <Theoriser> that's something I've never thought of before, but that's interesting [21:36] <Poet> Yeah. We know he wasn't attached to Quirrel until after Quirrel didn't get the stone [21:36] <Theoriser> I doubt he could have apparated there, I think you might have the right idea poet [21:36] <MrMcGonagall> He talks about being less than the meanest ghost, having to struggle to exist. [21:37] <Poet> He must be stronger in a host or just as a spirit, than as a "babymort" - like we saw in Book 4. [21:37] <futureweasley> I think that existing as just spirit would be very hard [21:37] <Poet> I wonder if its hard for him to move around as a vapor, because he has to focus on who and what he is. Yeah - I think so futureweasley [21:38] <MrMcGonagall> He said he had to will himself to exist from moment to moment. [21:38] *** ph63915 has joined #lounge [21:38] <MrMcGonagall> Hi, ph! [21:38] <Poet> I'd forgotten that .... perfect words! [21:38] <futureweasley> right...if he didn't, he'd like be dust in the wind... [21:38] <ph63915> evening [21:38] <Theoriser> hi ph [21:38] <Poet> hi [21:38] <MrMcGonagall> In the Book 4 graveyard scene, Voldemort seemed to think his followers should have and could have found him. Even Dumbledore in some of the early books seemed certain that Voldemort was hiding in Albania. Do you think Albania is some place Voldemort had spent time before his first downfall? Might there be a horcrux hidden in Albania? [21:38] <futureweasley> concentrating to keep his spiritual self together [21:39] <MrMcGonagall> I don't think a horcrux, but I imagine it is a hotbed for dark magic. A very mysterious, isolated place. [21:39] <Poet> I've always wondered what it was about Albania. He very well could have spent some time there before. [21:39] <ph63915> Do we know where Durmstrang is? [21:39] <cbm> I think that jo chose it because it is a mysterious place that very little is known about [21:39] <Poet> Some place cold [21:40] <Theoriser> maybe it was just an easy place to hide [21:40] <Poet> Durmstrang seems to be farther north - where there aren't many hours of light during the winter [21:40] <MrMcGonagall> Durmstrang is somewhere in Scandinavia, I believe. Albania is in the Balkans. [21:40] <Poet> I think you're right MrMcGonagall [21:40] <ph63915> I just assumed that Durmstrang was is that area [21:40] <ph63915> in [21:41] <Poet> So he could have taken a ship almost all of the way there, he may not have even had to cross Europe by land [21:41] <MrMcGonagall> It seems like a lot of dark magic and creatures are associated with eastern Europe. [21:41] <MrMcGonagall> Moreso than the west. [21:41] *** futureweasley has quit [Bye] [21:41] <Poet> I hope there is horcrux somewhere in Europe. Albania seems like a possibility, but I'm not sure. [21:42] <MrMcGonagall> I think all of the horcruxes are in england. [21:42] <MrMcGonagall> I don't think Harry will have to travel far afield. [21:42] <Poet> That fits with the Hallows idea, yeah [21:42] <MrMcGonagall> Albania has some history of snake lore - including nailing snakes to doors. Do you think some of Voldemort's ancestry (like the Gaunts) were from Albania or lived there at one time? [21:42] <Poet> Despite what John thought :D [21:42] <ph63915> Yeh if harry has to travel europe in search of them it will be a long book [21:43] <cbm> Maybe that is why she chose alabama [21:43] <Poet> lol [21:43] <Theoriser> that's interesting, that could have been why the death eaters should have known where he was [21:43] <MrMcGonagall> I think quite possibly. Herpo the Foul was the Greek wizard who was the first Parselmouth. [21:43] <Poet> I don't think they were from there, but I do think the snake-connection is part of the reason Jo had him go there. [21:44] <MrMcGonagall> That's a good possibility, Poet. [21:44] <cbm> I think that the snake connection, plus very few people know anything about it makes it a good choice [21:44] <Poet> Maybe Voldemort was hoping to find lots of snakes there to possess - he found Nagini, but that was likely sometime after Book 1. [21:44] <Theoriser> I agree, I don't think they were from there either, but there could be other connections [21:44] <ph63915> Does LV go back again in book 5? [21:45] <Theoriser> Only 15 minutes left, everyone! This has been a great chat! I want to remind you all that this transcript can be found at the PotterCast Forum http://www.leakylounge.com/PotterCast-f104.html. [21:45] <MrMcGonagall> I don't think so, ph. He came from there at the beginning of OotP. [21:45] <MrMcGonagall> That's where Pettigrew met up with him [21:45] <Poet> Yeah, I think he was last there the summer before book 4 [21:45] <MrMcGonagall> That's right, Poet, I meant GoF [21:46] <MrMcGonagall> The interview was with Jenna from DanRadcliffe.com, who saw the play "Equus" during the preview week. What was your favorite part of the interview? [21:47] <Poet> She mentioned how exhausted Dan must be every night after the play. [21:47] <Poet> It's neat to think of how seriously he takes his workd [21:47] <MrMcGonagall> He really is busy. [21:48] <Poet> Yes, he has two movies to shoot this year plus this play, I believe [21:48] <cbm> Describing what a great job Dan did! [21:48] <MrMcGonagall> I think the interview helped emphasize who Dan is as an actor, because so many people can only see him as Harry Potter. [21:48] <cbm> I have seen the play twice before and it is a VERY tough role [21:49] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, it is. I'm glad to hear from the reviewers that he's been able to pull it off fairly successfully. [21:49] <Poet> She also mentioned that there are times when Dan's character is in the background. I've never seen the play, but I liked the descriptions she gave of the sets and some of the scenes [21:50] <Poet> I also liked that people mentioned Dan's character was played a little differently than the movie - they could sympathize with him more [21:50] <cbm> my wife dragged me to it to see a friend in the dysart(sp?) role [21:51] <cbm> I think from Dan's standpoint, this is the perfect role, as far from HP as possible [21:51] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, there's definitely nothing Harry Potterish about the role of Alan Strang. [21:51] <MrMcGonagall> If there is, DH should be quite, erm, interesting. [21:52] <Theoriser> lol [21:52] <MrMcGonagall> The interviews are normally before the Canon Conundrums, but the order was switched this week. Was this a refreshing change? What did you like or dislike about this week's order of segments? [21:52] <ph63915> yeh those threstrals better watch out [21:52] <MrMcGonagall> LOL, ph!! [21:52] <cbm> I did not notice :( [21:52] <cbm> lol ph [21:52] <Poet> I actually liked that a lot [21:53] <cbm> just like the threstrals joke went right over my head for a few seconds [21:53] <ph63915> CC is my favourite section, so i'm more then happy to have it up front [21:53] <Poet> The interview gave a nice breather to the show, and then we were back to the final wrap-up [21:53] <Theoriser> I liked the different order [21:53] <MrMcGonagall> I thought it was a nice change of pace. It was a different sort of interview than just a regular fan. [21:53] <Poet> true [21:54] <cbm> I like CC, it has become my favorite part [21:54] <Poet> I was so happy Steve was able to make it this week for CC [21:55] <Theoriser> I liked both the interview and the CC this week [21:55] <MrMcGonagall> How cool is it that Melissa is writing a book about the Harry Potter fandom that will be out in 2008? [21:55] <cbm> That is very cool!! I will buy it [21:55] <Poet> It was fun to hear that she'll be touring with Harry and the Potters do get a better perspective on the wizard rock part of the fandom [21:55] *** AnnaNoe has joined #lounge [21:55] <Poet> hey Anna! [21:55] <AnnaNoe> ha is this over [21:55] <Poet> I'm looking forward to her book [21:55] <AnnaNoe> hi [21:56] <Poet> almost, yeah :) [21:56] <MrMcGonagall> Who better to write a book about the fandom? [21:56] <Theoriser> hi anna [21:56] <AnnaNoe> hi [21:56] <Poet> I thought it was interesting that she wrote Jo to tell her. I also thought it was interesting that Melissa mentioned maybe asking for some stories from listeners [21:56] <Theoriser> I think this is great news, can't wait to read it [21:57] <Poet> Can you imagine a "movie" version of the book :D [21:57] <ph63915> I dont know where she gets the time, doesn't she have job...? [21:57] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, Harry Potter has definitely been a major phenomenon. The fact that there is a book to be written about the expressions of the fandom says something in itself. [21:58] *** AnnaNoe has quit [Bye] [21:58] <Poet> She did ph63915 - at a newspaper. [21:58] <MrMcGonagall> Well, this has been a great chat, everyone, even if a little sparse! [21:58] <Poet> Cheers! [21:58] <Poet> See ya all soon [21:58] <Theoriser> thanks for coming, everyone [21:58] *** Poet has quit [Bye] [21:59] <MrMcGonagall> Stop on by for the Wize Wizard chat tomorrow evening for a discussion of the 7 tasks in PS/SS [21:59] <cbm> It has been, I have to get back to work! [21:59] <ph63915> Yeh i know, sorry i was being flippant! [21:59] *** SacredHeart has joined #lounge [21:59] <cbm> bye [21:59] <Theoriser> bye [21:59] <MrMcGonagall> Hi, SacredHeart! We're just closing up the Booth. This post has been edited by Theoriser: Feb 27 2007, 05:26 PM |
