QUOTE Fan conferences are the talk around town in this week’s PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast. In our 125th episode, Sue and John chat with Becky from the organizers of Portus, the fan conference in Dallas, Texas, and to Amy, from Terminus , set to be held during the summer of 2008 in Chicago, Illinois. In these interviews, we go into much detail about the two conferences and of what each conference will bring those in attendance. We will have much more on this theme in the future, as we check in on ‘What’s Up In the Fandom.’ Our own Kristin Brown is also back with us to share some of your latest owls in a new MailBag. We also bring you the latest news from the “Half-Blood Prince” casting office, the “Order of the Phoenix” UK DVD release, author J. K. Rowling’s “The Beetle and the Bard” charity auction, and much more. To listen, just hit the "Play" button on the right side of the page (->), or use iTunes, or direct download.

I admit it, I was listening to Pottercast in my cube at work today, happily going along, when...they played my voice mail! How awesome!
 Thanks guys, that totally made my day!!! But sadly, John, I have to agree with Sue and Special K, Professor Grubbly-Plank would take down Dawlish, just as Mrs. Longbottom did! Great episode as always, worth the wait! Happy Thanksgiving! Pampero House at Terminus: Squee-ing all the way to the Tempest Cup! -------------------- Ron: I let her do that. It's good manners. Completely intentional.

Sue, you crack me up. Potatoes out of a box?
I loved the conference talk! It was really great, for someone like me who's never been to an HP Conference/Convention, to listen to this! Woo-hoo! |

Jeff - You sounded great! What a great discussion topic! By the way, I found that ice cream is fantastic after getting your wisdom teeth out. Also, if you are REALLY hungry, McDonald's Chicken Nuggets and fries are do-able! Best of luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
