[16:07] <fawkes28> that sounds like a great gift! [16:07] <madamnarcissamalfoy> lol [16:07] <mollywobble> I'm at work. So I am tired. I'm also very cold because our heat isn't working in our building [16:07] <Whisperwing> I'm not thinking about what I'm getting or what I'm giving, all I'm thinking about is the next holiday filk cast [16:07] <fawkes28> lol theoriser [16:08] <mollywobble> I haven't started thinking about Christmas yet [16:08] <fawkes28> i am excited about the holiday filks [16:08] <madamnarcissamalfoy> i sent someone a letter [16:08] <suzb> me too theoriser [16:08] <fawkes28> they were great last year! [16:08] <madamnarcissamalfoy> i love sending letters [16:08] <Whisperwing> Yeah I've got on fuzzy slippers and a scarf because it's colder in my room than in the living room. [16:08] <madamnarcissamalfoy> and getting them too [16:08] <cbm> My hardcover HP books are worn out from reading, I should probably replace them [16:08] <Theoriser> my copy of book four is literally falling apart now [16:08] <madamnarcissamalfoy> i only have the fifth one right now [16:08] <cbm> A set of the hardcover books would be a great gift! [16:08] <Whisperwing> I'm really hoping mine gets in -- didn't record one last year, so this is my first solo filk effort [16:08] <madamnarcissamalfoy> yay [16:08] <mollywobble> Me too theoriser [16:08] <suzb> i want the US editions but i cant aford shipping [16:09] <madamnarcissamalfoy> oh [16:09] <mollywobble> I actually had to throw mine away... [16:09] <cbm> Where do you live suzb? [16:09] <suzb> england [16:09] <madamnarcissamalfoy> i want the british editions but lovce the pics on the us ones [16:09] <Whisperwing> I wanted the delux edition of HBP last year but never got it... [16:09] <fawkes28> i have the first 4 of the bristish editions i need to get the other two [16:09] <cbm> k, when I was there last time I picked up all of the British Audio books [16:09] <madamnarcissamalfoy> so i am getting the us ones [16:09] <suzb> the british edition have less pics.. but the ones they do have are really nice ones [16:09] <fawkes28> how are they cbm? [16:09] <cbm> I like Stephen Fry! [16:10] <madamnarcissamalfoy> its easier for my parents [16:10] <cbm> excellent [16:10] <fawkes28> i heard people like fry better than dale [16:10] <suzb> i love stephen frys reading [16:10] <mollywobble> I'd like to hear Fry's version [16:10] <Whisperwing> If my other eye goes, I'll have to depend on the audio books... [16:10] <fawkes28> i don't like how dale reads hermione [16:10] <cbm> I am using the audio books in the reading groups and really like ut [16:10] <cbm> it [16:11] <fawkes28> i'll use it as my excuse to go to england [16:11] <suzb> I have listened to the audio books too many times... my tapes are startig to dreak [16:11] <suzb> *break [16:11] <Whisperwing> Then again maybe I'll just ude Audacity to record my own audio books of the series while I still have vision to read by -- put it in a data CD so more chapters will fit on each disc. [16:11] <fawkes28> they are expensive [16:12] <cbm> I made copies of my original CDs and now only have copies in the car [16:12] <mollywobble> I started listening a few months ago on my long drives to visit my boyfriend [16:12] <fawkes28> that would be neat, ww [16:12] <fawkes28> good idea, cbm [16:12] *** Skiplives has joined #lounge [16:12] <suzb> i couldn't listen to my own voice though... [16:12] <fawkes28> hi skip [16:12] <cbm> I agree with that fawkes28, but was in the UK for 3 weeks on business and was bored, so I purchased them [16:12] <Skiplives> Hi all [16:12] <Whisperwing> Then I'd have to do it for the other book series I have and love... [16:13] <mollywobble> I think that would be a cool idea for a parent who couldnWhisperwing [16:13] <fawkes28> i know someone going to england maybe i will get them to buy them for me [16:13] <mollywobble> oops [16:13] <madamnarcissamalfoy> what do you guys think jo will do 4 xmas? [16:13] <cbm> They can also be checked out of libraries, that is how I got my first jim dale book 6 [16:13] <fawkes28> although they are probably expensive [16:13] <mollywobble> who couldn't be with their kids all of the time [16:13] <Whisperwing> Although I suppose listening to the movies for LotR might do, I think I'd really rather do my own [16:13] <suzb> i got them before GoF was out.. I didn't realise what size it would be... and then I had to have the full collection [16:13] <fawkes28> but is the fry version in the library? [16:13] <cbm> no, only the Jim Dale version. [16:14] <fawkes28> ah [16:14] <Whisperwing> OR, maybe we could wheedle RylOraMacBeck into doing it. [16:14] <mollywobble> Can you order the fry version online somewhere? [16:14] <cbm> Fry is better, but I think it is a matter of taste [16:14] <suzb> you can on iTunes, its more expensive than the tapes/cd's though [16:15] <fawkes28> oh, you can get it on itunes? that is good to know [16:15] <cbm> I was slightly disappointed at book 6 until I stopped to take the time to listen to it. [16:15] <Whisperwing> I'm still amazed by his impersonation entry [16:15] <fawkes28> so listening to it made you like it more? [16:16] <fawkes28> ready to start everyone? [16:16] <suzb> yep [16:16] <mollywobble> Yeah let's do it [16:16] <fawkes28> 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. [16:16] <fawkes28> 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 [16:16] <fawkes28> 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 [16:17] <fawkes28> 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! [16:17] <fawkes28> 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! [16:17] <Theoriser> Welcome to the Corner Booth's moderator-led discussion about PotterCast. Starting next week these will be held on Tuesdays instead of Mondays to give more people time to listen. Today we are talking about PotterCast #66, which included discussions about last week's news, a Canon Conundrums about Percy, and the second part of Donna's interview with EA games. [16:17] <Theoriser> How did you feel about the news that the current versions of the Harry Potter DVD's will be pulled from shelves next month? Were you surprised or did you see this coming? A lot of stores have their current stock on sale for quite cheap. Will you go out and buy a copy of any of the movies? [16:17] <cbm> Yes, I took my time and enjoyed it more, I read it much too quickly the first time through 5 hours vs. 17 [16:17] <suzb> yay more time to listen [16:17] <Whisperwing> I was a little surprised, actually. [16:18] <mollywobble> I had heard the rumor over the summer, so I wasn't surprised [16:18] <suzb> surprised, you would think they would want all the money they can get [16:18] <fawkes28> i think it will be good if they pull them off the shelves because maybe they will released extended versions [16:18] <Whisperwing> I also find myself wishing for an HD DVD player. [16:18] <Skiplives> I hope it means that they will be issuing new one and two disk versions with more material. [16:18] <cbm> I was not that surprised. It is a marketing decision. They will make the money back later. [16:18] <Theoriser> me too, Skip [16:18] <Whisperwing> Commentary by Jamie and Oliver Phelps? Yes please! [16:18] <fawkes28> i think they may actually make more money if they pull them off because the people who do not own them yet may be more willing to ge tthem [16:19] <cbm> I expect some sort of special editions after movie 7 comes out, [16:19] <mollywobble> The only thing that scares me is, what if I break one of my DVDs. I'm considering buying another copy of PoA [16:19] <suzb> if only I could persude my mother to get me a dvd we already have for xmas [16:19] <fawkes28> you don't think they will release them sooner, cbm? [16:19] <Whisperwing> I hate when movies get 'sent to the vault' -- I tptally missed my chance to get Beauty and the Beast on DVD the last time it was out. [16:20] <suzb> not to mention a new tv and dvd player [16:20] <Skiplives> Commentary is great and always appriciated - I'd love a Phelps, a director, a trio, and an adult actor commentary [16:20] <Theoriser> The newly-released Goblet of Fire High Definition DVD has commentary by James and Oliver Phelps (the Weasley twins) with older clips from Dan Radcliffe, Mike Newell and David Heyman cut in. Are you excited that we finally have a version of one of the movies with commentary? [16:20] <cbm> How about Dawlish commentary? [16:20] <suzb> lol cbm [16:20] <Skiplives> here here [16:21] <merlinburgh> excellent [16:21] <suzb> dawlish and john.... [16:21] <mollywobble> Have they confirmed that this is a fact? [16:21] <fawkes28> i would love to see it with the commentary [16:21] <Whisperwing> I would love one of those portable dvd players with the little lcd screens, you can watch in a car or on a bus, or even laying in bed.... commentary or not [16:21] <fawkes28> yes, molly [16:21] <Whisperwing> Those are out already in the UCK [16:21] <cbm> I never find the time to listen to the commentary with the DVDs I have. [16:21] <mollywobble> Ok i knew that Leaky was double checking, but wanted to make sure [16:22] <Skiplives> I sometimes listen to the commentary first [16:22] <suzb> hmm. perhaps I should go down to town and check those dvd's out [16:22] <Whisperwing> I can't resist commentary tracks -- I've listened to all of the LOTR ones [16:22] <fawkes28> i don't often listen to commentary myself but i think i will for this one because i have seen the movie so many times [16:22] <Whisperwing> That's a total of twelve commentary tracks all together [16:22] <cbm> One of the movies had an excellent interview with JKR, I would like the back [16:22] <Skiplives> me too Whisper [16:22] <mollywobble> I would love to hear a commentary with the trio [16:22] <suzb> that would be good, molly [16:22] <cbm> I did make an exception and watched all of the commentary for Lord of the Rings [16:22] <fawkes28> another interview with jo would be excellent as well [16:23] <Skiplives> Any Kevin Smith movie is better on the commentary track - just for the Afleck jokes [16:23] <Theoriser> yeah, it would be good to have interviews with Jo on the dvds, cbm [16:23] <fawkes28> i think those two will be fun to listen to [16:23] <Skiplives> I'd also like the adult actors to talk about the film, I think the way they approached thier roles would be interesting [16:23] <suzb> especially because we never had an interview for GoF [16:24] <Theoriser> Forbes Magazine had an article titled, "Harry Potter And The Ministry Of Fire," which talked about the Michigan book burnings of 2003. The article also included a brief history of book burnings and censorship. Were you suprised to see Forbes bringing this up since it didn't happen recently? Did you read the comment they included by author Ray Bradbury, who wrote "Fahrenheit 451"? [16:24] <Whisperwing> I'm dying for a commentary track with Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs [16:25] <mollywobble> I like what he said [16:25] <Skiplives> ".. and the fan girls go do-do-do, do, do do-do-do, do do do do-do-do .." [16:25] <Skiplives> [16:25] <madamnarcissamalfoy> lol [16:25] <fawkes28> i think it is ridiculous that they have book burnings [16:25] <Whisperwing> Well, I suppose there's a reason it took them three years to get around to discussing te book burnings... [16:25] <fawkes28> lol skip [16:25] *** madamnarcissamalfoy has quit [Bye] [16:25] <Whisperwing> although maybe it's not their first article about it, only the latest [16:26] <fawkes28> i don't know why it took so long [16:26] <Skiplives> I found the age of the story funny, but the timing is driven by the continured popularity of HP and the fact that the story was not a national issue in 2003 [16:27] <fawkes28> and probably to get his name out there and associated with HP [16:27] <Theoriser> I'm glad somebody was speaking out for it, even if it's only made news 3 years later [16:27] <fawkes28> anything associated with HP gets much attention these days [16:28] <suzb> well from us lot, but how often do you see hp on the news or in the paper, over here not that much [16:28] <Whisperwing> I taped a gingerbread house competition off of Food Network last night and the teen division winner was Harry Potter inspired, a diorama of Diagon Alley... [16:28] <fawkes28> every now and the, suzb [16:28] <Theoriser> The Australian Office of Film describes an upcoming Movie 5 trailer as being two minutes in length. Do you think that this is the international trailer that is due out in the next month or so? What are some movies you hope that it will play before? What scenes do you hope they'll show in the upcoming 2 minute version of the trailer? [16:28] <fawkes28> but usually i already know the information because of leaky [16:29] <Skiplives> It is most likely the international trailer [16:29] <suzb> the only hp ews i ever see is from newsround, the program with Lizo on it [16:29] *** merlinburgh left #lounge [] [16:29] <cbm> It will be 1/75 of the movie, It will be good to see more of it. [16:30] <Skiplives> I expect more of the same, possibly with slightly more exposition, not much more action [16:30] <Skiplives> cbm doing the math John couldn't [16:30] <mollywobble> I agree skip [16:30] <fawkes28> 2 minutes sounds like so much more than 60 seconds [16:30] <cbm> They will be able to show more dialog. [16:30] *** LittleWeasley719 has joined #lounge [16:30] <fawkes28> at least when it comes to what else we are able to see [16:30] <Whisperwing> It is, it's 120 seconds [16:31] <Skiplives> it twice as much fawkes [16:31] <suzb> hopefully we will get it in the UCK at the same time as over in the US this time, whenever it comes out [16:31] *** EmilyVizi has joined #lounge [16:31] <fawkes28> lol skip i know thanks [16:31] <fawkes28> hello emily [16:31] <EmilyVizi> not that late. i had an ortho appontment [16:31] <cbm> I am sure it will be on the web quickly [16:31] <Skiplives> suzb - it is the international trailer, so I would exect you to get it at the same time [16:31] <fawkes28> our wonderful galleries will take care of it [16:31] *** PolythenePam has quit [Bye] [16:32] <Theoriser> yeah, I don't mind the UK getting the trailers and things later than the US [16:32] <EmilyVizi> internation means world around so wouldnt we all get it lol [16:32] <suzb> good point [16:32] <Theoriser> I want to see more of umbridge being evil in the trailer [16:32] <fawkes28> i do wonder what they will include in it [16:32] <suzb> i want a hemhem [16:32] <fawkes28> me too, theoriser [16:32] <Skiplives> US companies use international to mean outside the US [16:32] <Theoriser> in the teaser we didn't get to see much of her actually doing anything bad [16:32] <mollywobble> Yes, a HemHem would be nice [16:32] <cbm> I would love to hear one good HemHem [16:32] <EmilyVizi> yes [16:33] *** EmilyVizi has quit [Bye] [16:33] <suzb> and some more luna [16:33] <fawkes28> i think they want to make her out to be sweet for the people who haven't read the books [16:33] <fawkes28> i would like to see more scenes from the Ministry [16:33] *** LittleWeasley719 has quit [Bye] [16:33] <Whisperwing> I want a snippet of the Sirius vs. Snape fight that Harry has to get in the middle of [16:33] <Theoriser> that would be good, whisperwing [16:33] <cbm> Some of the younger marauders would be good too [16:34] <Skiplives> A shot of the family tree would be cool [16:34] <fawkes28> it will be nice to see lily and james [16:34] <suzb> that would be good cbm [16:34] <mollywobble> I'd like to see whether or not St. Mungo's is in the film at all, because i haven't heard anything about it [16:34] <cbm> I want to see how that scene plays out. [16:34] <fawkes28> that's true, molly [16:34] <fawkes28> it seems like it should be with arthur in the hospital [16:35] <fawkes28> but you never know [16:35] <fawkes28> i would love to see locky but i highly doubt that will be in there [16:35] <cbm> I doubt St. Mungo's will be there. You could do the story without it. Just report back to Harry that he is going to be OK [16:35] <mollywobble> They have to show Arthur being attacked though, for plot purposes [16:36] <Skiplives> they could cut the whole hospital scene - I'd like to see the Nevile bit, but it is extraneous [16:36] <suzb> wait, didn't they say the lockheart actor was coming back one PC, therefor they go to st. mungos [16:36] <cbm> I did not hear if he was coming back [16:36] <Theoriser> Jo last won a book award in her home country of Scotland back in 2001, when she won the Royal Mail Awards' award for best children's book (for ages 8-12). She won the same award this year for Half-Blood Prince. How did you interpret her comment that she couldn't attend because, "I currently have my head down writing the final book, which is coming along nicely." ? [16:36] <fawkes28> i haven't heard anything about him so i don't think he is [16:36] <mollywobble> They said he was still in one of teh early drafts of OotP, but that doesn't mean he made the final script [16:37] <mollywobble> I think it means she is in a good rhythm and doesn't want to lose her train of thought [16:37] <fawkes28> it made me excited that she didn't attend - although i did feel bad for the people giving her the award because she couldn't make it [16:38] <cbm> IMDB does not list Kenneth Branagh as being in this movie [16:38] <Skiplives> She does need to work occasionally [16:38] <fawkes28> yes, molly, that does sound like what she is [16:38] <Theoriser> like melissa said, it's interesting that she couldn't make it to an award ceremony in Scotland [16:38] <suzb> not that she has much to do [16:38] <fawkes28> thanks cbm [16:38] <cbm> Maybe she did not want to make a scene as her appearance would of done [16:38] <fawkes28> it is interesting, theoriser [16:38] <cbm> NP Fawkes [16:38] <mollywobble> There's an idea cbm [16:38] <fawkes28> i bet she is getting into the final chapters [16:39] <Skiplives> well when not spending time on the lounge as NoeLover42 I hear she's working on a book [16:39] <suzb> i hope not fawkes [16:39] <fawkes28> and we all know how exciting the last few chapters are....i wouldn't want to leave either [16:39] <Whisperwing> I can wholly relate to staying on the project instead of going out to receive an award, I know when I;m caught up in a painting or a drawing, I'll even not bother to eat when I should [16:39] <cbm> lol [16:39] <suzb> lol NoeLover42... [16:39] <fawkes28> she's writing a book ,skip? [16:39] <mollywobble> haha [16:39] <Theoriser> oh no, fawkes, I don't want the series to be done so soon! [16:39] <fawkes28> lol [16:39] <Skiplives> [16:40] <fawkes28> i think she still has a ways to go [16:40] <mollywobble> I do too fawkes [16:40] <fawkes28> it is fun imagining what she is writing [16:40] <suzb> didn't you know fawkes, it really good, you should check it out sometime [16:40] <cbm> She does not have a deadline this time, so who knows how long it will take [16:40] <Skiplives> I'm sure she is working dilligently [16:40] <fawkes28> you read it, suzb? [16:40] <fawkes28> let me borrow it someday [16:41] <cbm> Last time she was trying to beat the birth of her last child [16:41] <fawkes28> good point, cbm [16:41] <suzb> of course, im sure you will LOVE it [16:41] <fawkes28> i think she is going to have a hard time letting it go [16:41] <Skiplives> At least let Vol. 1 out [16:41] <fawkes28> it is her final book in the series it is a hard thing to give up after working on it for over a decade [16:41] <Theoriser> I'm worried about what she's said about book 7: "some will love it and some may hate it" or something like that [16:42] <cbm> That was true of book 6. [16:42] <Skiplives> Well she is going to be killing off characters, people won't like that [16:42] <mollywobble> I was reading old quotes from herm and she keeps saying how bad she feels for Harry because she knows what is going to happen next [16:42] <suzb> i wil love it, i don't care what she wries [16:42] <fawkes28> i think i will respect her decisions whatever she does because it is her book and we are just lucky to be a part of her world [16:42] <mollywobble> I can only imagine what she is planning...and it's scary [16:42] <cbm> there is a small minority that despises HBP, and call it things like the Half Baked Plot [16:43] <fawkes28> lives will be lost in this war even though we don't want them too [16:43] <suzb> my thoughs exactly fawkes [16:43] <Theoriser> The galleries has a new 15-minute long interview that Alan Rickman did with the Canadian talk show, "The Hour." Have you seen this interview? As usual he avoided discussing his character, Snape, by saying that books are mainly about the trio, and so the movies follow them. Rickman knows things about Snape that only Jo has told him. What do you think he knows? [16:44] <mollywobble> He knows what side he is on, for sure [16:44] <Theoriser> he knows if Snape is good or evil! [16:44] <cbm> Snape's Loyalty and his fate [16:44] <suzb> Snape's true aligence [16:44] <fawkes28> oh he definitely knows [16:44] <Skiplives> He know's who good or bad, so be good for goodness sake! [16:44] <fawkes28> and i think he is very wise to avoid talking about his character [16:44] <Skiplives> Sorry it is december [16:44] <mollywobble> Skip, that might make a good filk [16:44] <fawkes28> because just like jo his words are going to be analyzed [16:44] <fawkes28> lol skip [16:45] <Whisperwing> I think he knows what specific tortures Jo has in store for him if he reveals her secrets about Snape. [16:45] <Skiplives> I agree Fawkes, Mr. Rickman clearly understands the power of his character is in his ambiguity [16:45] <fawkes28> alan rickman is in a difficult position - it is hard being one of the only people in the world who knows something that big [16:45] <Theoriser> lol whisper [16:45] <fawkes28> right, skip. he respects his character and jo greatly [16:45] <suzb> I also think he is aware of the big angry mob of fans that will come after him if he reveals anything [16:45] <Skiplives> Mollywobble, you have my permission to filk away at that snippet [16:46] <mollywobble> Haha [16:47] * cbm does not think that is anything ambiguous about snape, as JKR has used words such dispicably, horrible, and sadistic to describe him. [16:47] <Whisperwing> Hmm... He's dodging the lists, ignoring the jibes... Keeping the mystery of Severus alive.... [16:47] <fawkes28> oh, cbm [16:47] <cbm> sorry [16:47] <Theoriser> I'm afraid we're in the minority, cbm [16:47] <fawkes28> just kidding [16:47] <Skiplives> where's Kimmy when you need her [16:48] <fawkes28> snape always brings out a lively discussion among us [16:48] *** Skiplives has quit [Bye] [16:48] <Theoriser> Have you seen the Movie 5 clips that were shown on ABC Family cable channel this weekend? Did you like how they showed clips based on subjects? What were your favorite new images? [16:48] <suzb> can we clear this up whos in the snape is good camp, and whos in the bad camp? [16:48] *** Skiplives has joined #lounge [16:48] <fawkes28> nah, we'll be here all night, suzb [16:48] <fawkes28> yes, i have seen them! [16:49] <fawkes28> i loved the clips from this weekend [16:49] <Theoriser> I haven't seen them yet [16:49] <suzb> LUNA!!!! [16:49] <mollywobble> I saw the clips...I'm trying to figure out if Arthur is covered in bandages in the Ron clip [16:49] <fawkes28> and i was surprised at how much they showed us [16:49] <suzb> so was I fawkes [16:49] <Whisperwing> I was frankly chilled to see the clip of Sirius and Bellatrix dueling nearer and nearer the Veil. [16:49] <cbm> I saw some of them and like them! [16:49] <Skiplives> Cool stuff [16:49] <cbm> need to find time to see the rest [16:50] <fawkes28> yes, ww [16:50] <suzb> i need to go through them shot by shot when i get the time [16:50] <fawkes28> i couldnt beleive they showed us them dueling [16:50] <Skiplives> People who dislike spoilers are going to have a hard time missing them [16:50] <fawkes28> the clips always go by so quick [16:50] *** Dubes has joined #lounge [16:50] <mollywobble> Yeah [16:50] <fawkes28> you are right, cbm. it will be nice to look at them later [16:50] <fawkes28> hi dubes [16:50] <mollywobble> Sorry if he have spoiled anything for anyone right now [16:50] <suzb> i forget what i saw [16:50] <Dubes> Heyo [16:51] <suzb> hey dubes [16:51] <Skiplives> Hello [16:51] <mollywobble> We're talking about the ABC clips dubes [16:51] <Dubes> Ahh, I missed those! [16:51] <Skiplives> I meant to record the whole thing too [16:51] <Dubes> Someone must have [16:52] <fawkes28> i should have recorded to as well [16:52] <fawkes28> but i knew leaky would have it [16:52] <mollywobble> I thought they would be playing during the 8 pm showing of PoA, so I waited to watch it on TV. But that didn't happen [16:52] <fawkes28> oh they didn't show it last night? i thought they were showing it every night [16:53] <Dubes> I wanted to watch it, but I didn't know where or when [16:53] <fawkes28> it was on ABC family channel [16:53] <Dubes> >.< [16:53] <Theoriser> We saw several dueling clips that will have special effects added in once the movie is complete. What did you learn by watching the actors work with their wands (without having spells to react to)? [16:53] <Skiplives> it looks better with the effects? [16:54] <Theoriser> hehe [16:54] <fawkes28> lol [16:54] <Dubes> What are we supposed to learn? [16:54] <Dubes> haha [16:54] <mollywobble> It reminded me of being a kid and playing make believe in my backyard [16:54] <Skiplives> You do gain an appriciation for how hard it is to act without the effect [16:54] <fawkes28> i think it was exciting just to see the characters themselves in the veil room dueling [16:54] <mollywobble> I bet they had a lot of fun [16:54] <fawkes28> true, skip [16:54] <cbm> exactly mollywobble [16:55] <cbm> I was going to say kids playing cops and robbers [16:55] <suzb> i still think the wand movements are oo much like a big dance [16:55] <Skiplives> It is also why having stage actors helps, they are used to dealing with minimal set help [16:55] <fawkes28> yes, it doesn't seem real [16:55] <fawkes28> it does seem like kids just playng [16:56] <fawkes28> but i would take that over nothing anyday [16:56] <Theoriser> By watching Movie 5 clips, do you feel like you're letting yourself getting spoiled too much for Movie 5? Will you continue watching new clips as they come in? [16:56] <Skiplives> add 50 man/days of computer time and instant magic [16:56] <fawkes28> i am sure i will watch them because everyone will be talking about them [16:56] <Skiplives> I'll watch - after all I know how the book ends [16:56] <fawkes28> lol [16:56] <mollywobble> Yeah, I wanted to avoid the HBO special when it first came out, but I eventually had to watch [16:57] <fawkes28> i don't think they spoil the movie because i feel they add to the excitement of it all [16:57] <Skiplives> I don't get people who don' want to be spoiled for the movie if they read the book [16:57] <cbm> I watch them, because I can not resist the temptation [16:57] <fawkes28> the people who produce the movie don't have to worry too much about all of us going to see it [16:57] <mollywobble> The one good thing about being spoiled is you aren't surprised when your favorite parts are cut from the film or changed slightly [16:57] <Skiplives> true molly [16:58] <fawkes28> and they cannot possibly show us everything that is in the movie so we are not completely spoiled [16:58] <suzb> i get it, skip, some people don't want to see how certain scenes will look like ahead of time, they want to see what the imagned up on a big screen where it is all new [16:58] <fawkes28> and even if when we are disappointed our favorite shows aren't there, we still have the books to read and love [16:58] <suzb> btw i am not one of those people [16:59] <Theoriser> like for goblet of fire, people didn't want to see what voldemort looked like in the trailers so they could see it in the cinema [16:59] <Skiplives> I know it suzb, I just don't understand if that makes any sense. [16:59] <Theoriser> TLC recently launched Askpeeves.org. Were you on the forums when Peeves was running amok for several hours prior to the release? Have you tried out Ask Peeves? What did you think? [16:59] <suzb> well in some peoples mind it must [17:00] <cbm> I have not used it yet [17:00] <suzb> i wasn't online *sob* [17:00] <Skiplives> I know ... I haven't tried it out yet [17:00] <mollywobble> I used it today [17:00] <cbm> I may when I get stuck next time [17:00] <Theoriser> I have, and it was really useful [17:00] <mollywobble> I like how they categorize your search [17:01] <suzb> i have used it once, it was very good [17:01] *** Dubes has quit [Bye] [17:01] <cbm> I will have to use it! It sounds useful [17:01] <suzb> i cant get the peeves quotes to work though [17:01] <fawkes28> i love ask peeves! [17:02] <fawkes28> it really is useful when you need information or if you are looking for a thread [17:02] <fawkes28> i really enjoyed when peeves was on the lounge [17:02] <Theoriser> It's time to discuss Canon Conundrums about Percy. Do you believe that everything that Jo writes is for a reason? Melissa pointed out that every person has a purpose, even if it is a small purpose. What is Percy's purpose in the series? [17:02] <fawkes28> it created a lot of excitement [17:02] *** BlixDude has joined #lounge [17:02] <mollywobble> it will be even more incredible if they can keyword every screencap on the films... [17:03] *** BlixDude has quit [Bye] [17:03] <fawkes28> oh percy [17:03] *** PolythenePam has joined #lounge [17:03] <cbm> I did not agree with any of their conclusions [17:03] <Skiplives> Well Mellisa's agruement can get pretty metaphysical, after all the act of writing takes some intent, so she had to have intended everyword [17:03] <fawkes28> i found melissa's comment interesting about how everyone has a person...she is right because jo knows exactly what she is doing [17:04] <suzb> i can't make my mind up about him [17:04] <fawkes28> however, i do not think percy is going to be redeemed [17:04] <cbm> These books have very little fluff [17:04] <Skiplives> but does wimsy have any purpose other than whimy [17:04] <Theoriser> I think Percy's purpose could be to give a little more depth and reality to the Weasleys [17:04] <Skiplives> spelling [17:05] <Skiplives> I think Perce is just a git, simply and plainly [17:05] <Whisperwing> Percy is the Everyman led astray by his own ambitions [17:05] <suzb> well a lot of what seems to be fluff turns out to be of the upmost importance, so i do think he has a reason behind every word [17:05] <fawkes28> i just don't think that percy's purpose is meant to be for the greater good [17:05] <mollywobble> I agree theoriser [17:05] <Skiplives> I agree Whisperwings [17:05] <fawkes28> i like that thought, theoriser [17:05] <cbm> Here is my percy theory: If Voldemort is greater and more terrible than before, I think that Percy may go over to his side when it looks like the ministry is going to lose, as thay will be his only open route to power. [17:06] <fawkes28> he is very different from them and that is how he could have served his purpose [17:06] <Skiplives> Right, if they were all perfect who would belive them [17:06] <cbm> The only thing I see redeeming about Percy is that he is a Weasley, I hope I am wrong about my theory [17:07] <suzb> i don't agree, cbm, i think then he will turn back to his family [17:07] <mollywobble> I don't think Percy will go to the dark side, simply because he is such a stickler for the rules [17:07] <fawkes28> that is an interesting theory [17:07] <Skiplives> He would remain with the Umbridge group [17:08] <Theoriser> What is Percy's purpose in the Weasley family? Because his family is so important to the series, whether Percy redeems himself or not, do you agree that his storyline will definitely be resolved? [17:08] <fawkes28> percy does enjoy power and does want to please and if the ministry is losing, maybe he will join voldemort [17:08] <cbm> I would prefer it to be wrong though, it is just what I think [17:08] <mollywobble> He is incredibly ambitious, but he still wants to walk a straight line. I don't see him as a Pettigrew who is just looking for who is the most powerful at the time [17:08] <suzb> he has to be resolved [17:08] <cbm> I expect the Percy thread to be completely resolved [17:08] <Whisperwing> I'm going to go back to my Egenezer Scrooge theory on him, like Scrooge lost his true love to his greed, Percy lost Penelope to his climbing ambition. [17:08] <Whisperwing> Ebenezer [17:09] <mollywobble> I think it will be resolved, but he'll still be a git [17:09] <Whisperwing> But he's still young enough to repair the damage he;s done himself [17:09] <fawkes28> i think the purpose with percy is to show that the weasley family is not perfect although they may appear to be [17:09] <fawkes28> all families have their problems and secrets [17:09] <Skiplives> I agree, but he will have to speand some time in the wilderness [17:10] <Theoriser> Is the Weasley family under-rated by the wizarding community, or is it just the evil part of the community that under-rates how important the family is? [17:10] <cbm> At the same time, I can not see Ron or Harry suddenly trusting him, so it will be interesting if he is redeemed, how he goes about it [17:10] <mollywobble> I'd like to think that he would be back by his family's side if something really bad happened to one of them, but he never came back when his father almost died [17:11] <fawkes28> someone on pottercast said that arthur seems to be very well respected in the ministry so i do not think that they are underrated [17:11] <Skiplives> They are an old family, not a rich family, we don't really know the family rep, just Arthur's [17:11] <fawkes28> jo has been trying to teach us that money isn't everything [17:11] <cbm> I think that the evil part of the community is the only part that undervalues him [17:11] <Skiplives> This family is particularly talented and powerful as wizards though, and they could bring the family back in people's eyes\ [17:11] <mollywobble> I think the "pure-blood" supporters don't like them. [17:12] <Theoriser> What are Percy's current feelings after Book 6? Does he finally realize that he's wrong? Will he feel like he's lost his one shot at making amends with his family because at Christmas he didn't come there on "good faith"? Do you like that Jo is letting Percy suffer for awhile? [17:13] <Skiplives> Right molly, I think Molly Weasley made a comment about the Weasley's historically being race traitors [17:13] <Skiplives> Percy is still looking out for #1 [17:13] <fawkes28> i don't think percy realizes he is wrong [17:13] <Skiplives> He is not looking for reconciliation yet [17:13] <Theoriser> I think he realises he's wrong, but he can't admit it [17:13] <mollywobble> I think Percy knows his parents were right, but that doesn't mean he thinks he did anything wrong [17:13] <fawkes28> yes, he is skip [17:14] <cbm> I have no idea, but I do not feel he thinks he can come back yet [17:14] <Theoriser> Could Percy have been working on Dumbledore's orders as a spy within the Ministry? If he was working for Dumbledore, why be so mean to his family? [17:14] <cbm> maybe he thinks that the rupture is permanent, and is looking for some gesture to get back in their good graces [17:15] <mollywobble> No, i'm not a fan of John's theory [17:15] <suzb> Percy must realise he is wrong, or at least he is wrond about where he should put his aligences, im not saying the ministry is on the evil side, just thay they are not useing thier powere well [17:15] <mollywobble> Not everyone who is a jerk is a double agent [17:15] <fawkes28> i do not agree with this theory [17:15] <cbm> I have seen NOTHING that would lead me to believe that [17:15] <Skiplives> Right Molly, some people are just really gits [17:15] <fawkes28> i don't think dumbledore would have gotten him on his side [17:15] <Theoriser> lol mollywobble [17:16] <fawkes28> he did not need to be mean to his family at all - i think statements that he makes really show his true colors [17:16] <Theoriser> exactly fawkes [17:16] <Skiplives> I think DD could have gotten Percy, but he already has people on the inside and others that simply disagree with the ministry's way of running things [17:16] <suzb> i don't like this theory, but if it was true he would be mean to the family to keep up apperences, or else Fudge would have him out of there in seconds [17:17] <Theoriser> What are Percy's reasons for existing and being in a position in the Ministry? Will he have handy information for Harry that Harry couldn't have gotten otherwise? Will he help Harry get back into the Ministry (perhaps the Department of Mysteries)? [17:17] <Skiplives> It also weakens the value of Percy as the Weasly black sheep and proof that not everyone is going to grow up perfect with a little love [17:18] <fawkes28> i think he is there because he loves power and wants to be MoM [17:18] <cbm> I do not see how Harry would except his help ig it was offered, he would think it was a ministry plot [17:18] <cbm> if [17:18] <mollywobble> I always have a hard time figuring out if certain people will help harry or not. This is because Harry made it clear that he wasn't going to tell anyone about the Horcurxes except Ron and Hermione [17:19] <Skiplives> I agree fawkes [17:19] <Skiplives> he may help HArry, but not if means sticking his neck out too far [17:19] <fawkes28> i don't think he will help harry get into the MoM because i don't think percy has that type of power [17:19] <mollywobble> Yet, he is going to have to get help. [17:19] <suzb> No, Percy won't he is to proud to swallow what his pride and help [17:19] <fawkes28> also harry seems to be getting into the ministry just fine on his own [17:20] <mollywobble> I think it is more likely that Bill or Charlie help him than percy. [17:21] <fawkes28> and arthur even though he doesn't seem to have a lot of power...people do respect him [17:22] <cbm> I think that that the only people Harry will accept help from are the Order and the other 5 who went to the DoM. [17:22] <Theoriser> well something bad might happen to one of the weasleys, and percy could rethink things and help harry [17:22] <fawkes28> true, cbm [17:22] <Whisperwing> I thought Fred and Heorge were the black sheep? [17:22] <Whisperwing> George [17:23] <fawkes28> well, in a sense but i think the true black sheep is percy because of his actions against his family [17:23] <suzb> I still think Percy won't be able to swallow his pride, whatever the circumstance [17:23] <Theoriser> Why didn't Percy redeem himself in Book 6? Will he redeem himself in Book 7? Is it harder to forgive someone for being right than being wrong, or is this just the case with Percy because of his personality? [17:23] <Skiplives> Not anymore - they are now successful businessmen [17:24] <fawkes28> i think it was steve who was talking about all the people who may be redeemed and it seems to be a lot [17:24] <cbm> I think that he is still following that path to power. And saying he is sorry to his family will not get him there [17:24] <suzb> It is harder, but his personality also hightens this [17:24] <mollywobble> I don't think redemption was a strong enough theme in HBP to include Percy's redemption [17:24] <Whisperwing> Oh it's definitely harder to forgive someone else for being right when you were the one in the wrong, it's not a new concept [17:24] <fawkes28> i just don't think percy is important enough to be redeemed [17:24] <fawkes28> i think other characters are more important to the plot of the story [17:24] <Whisperwing> Yeah, redemption is more of a 'coming at the end of all things' proposition [17:24] *** Skiplives has quit [Bye] [17:25] *** Skiplives has joined #lounge [17:25] <Skiplives> darn backspace [17:25] <suzb> if he is redeemed i think it will be just before he dies or in the epilouge [17:26] <Skiplives> I think it would be nice fr him not to be redeemed or reconciled [17:26] <Theoriser> How many people can redeem themselves Book 7? What does redemption mean? Will Percy redeem himself of all his misdeeds or just enough for his family to enjoy being with him? [17:26] <Skiplives> to show that being right/winnig the battle doesn't fix everything [17:26] <cbm> Great question, I have no idea. [17:27] <Theoriser> whichever one he chose to do would show the kind of person he really was [17:27] <Skiplives> Draco redeemed and die, Snape redeemed and die, LV just die [17:27] <fawkes28> i think if too many people redeem themselves it would take away from the meaning of redemption [17:27] <suzb> same here, cbm [17:27] <Skiplives>  [17:27] <Theoriser> if he came straight out and apologised for everything then that would make him a better person, I think [17:27] <fawkes28> well, and then there is peter [17:27] <fawkes28> that is a lot of people to be redeemed [17:28] <mollywobble> I think Peter is the one that needs to be redeemed more than anyone [17:28] <Skiplives> Peter will not be redeemed, paying a life debt is compulsory not discressionary [17:28] <suzb> we already know redemption is not possible for LV. And who would want it [17:28] <mollywobble> SNape is snape, and if he killed Dumbledore under his orders, does he really need to be redeeemed? [17:28] <cbm> Peter is the only one I am sure of [17:28] <Whisperwing> Pettigrew might come over all helpful, but it will never be enough to redeem him [17:28] <fawkes28> for certain people to redeem themselves they are going to need to do something pretty good in order to be redeemed in my opinion [17:28] <mollywobble> if he is bad, then yes, redemption is a possibility [17:28] <suzb> Snape for one [17:28] <fawkes28> see i don't think peter could ever do anything to be redeemed in my eyes [17:28] <Skiplives> many people can only rredeem themselves in death [17:29] <Theoriser> Is Percy's redemption tied up with that of the Ministry? Whether the Ministry redeems itself or not, will Percy break with them to redeem himself? [17:29] <Skiplives> but too many people doing that way drains from the impact [17:29] <fawkes28> exactly, skip [17:29] <Skiplives> The ministry will survive [17:29] *** PolythenePam has quit [Bye] [17:29] <fawkes28> percy does seem to follow the ministry's opinion [17:29] <mollywobble> With the way the Ministry is treating Harry, Percy may have to turn his back against the Ministry to redeem himself [17:30] <Whisperwing> Naturally, an institution like that can continue on unredeemed for decades. [17:30] <cbm> I expect Percy to stay with the ministry until the first sign it is going to lose, then it is a question of which way he jumps [17:30] <suzb> I don't think the Ministy will redeem itself, I think at the end of the war a whole new way of leadership will need to be put in place [17:30] <Skiplives> As I pointed out in my Scibulus essay, the Ministry is niether good nor bad, just political. There is too much beurocracy threre ot change much [17:31] <mollywobble> Agreed skip [17:31] *** KimmyBlair has joined #lounge [17:31] <Skiplives> sorry to plug my essay, but I did do 4000 words on the subject [17:31] <mollywobble> hah [17:31] <Skiplives> [17:31] <fawkes28> hi kimmy [17:31] <Skiplives> hi Kimmy [17:31] <suzb> hi Kimmy [17:31] <fawkes28> no problem, skip [17:31] <cbm> Hi kimmy [17:31] <KimmyBlair> Hi! sorry I'm late! [17:32] <Theoriser> hi Kimmy [17:32] <fawkes28> skip, do you think that the ministry just bases its actions on power? [17:32] <Skiplives> It depends on who is weilding the riegns [17:32] <Skiplives> it operates on power, so to speak, but it is just a tool and can be used either way [17:32] <suzb> Kimmy, we are talking about Percy [17:33] <KimmyBlair> Git [17:33] <mollywobble> haha [17:33] <KimmyBlair> ok here are my two cents [17:33] <KimmyBlair> I have several times in the past agreed with John [17:33] <cbm> I think the ministry is corrupt and during PoA through OotP, it was following Lucius Malfoy's instructions exactly [17:33] <KimmyBlair> that percy was acting for the ministry... [17:33] <KimmyBlair> that was my first gut reaction [17:33] <KimmyBlair> but I just don't know... [17:33] <KimmyBlair> it seems to complex [17:33] <KimmyBlair> even for Jo [17:33] <Theoriser> Now on to the second part of the interview with EA games. Did you listen to last week's interview? We found out that the music was a preview of what will be in the actual Order of the Phoenix game. What did you think of the music? [17:33] <Skiplives> There are those that use thier power to do good (Arthur comes to mind), or evil (Umbridge), but many just look to serve thier post [17:34] <KimmyBlair> LOVED the music! [17:34] <mollywobble> Yes most of us agree that we didn't think PErcy was working for the order [17:34] <Skiplives> The music was cool, very atmopheric without being techno [17:34] <mollywobble> Yeah, i am shocked we got to hear the new OotP music [17:34] <mollywobble> it was awesome [17:34] <suzb> The music was very good, I can't wait for the game now, everything about it seems so good [17:35] <fawkes28> i really enjoyed both parts of this interview [17:35] <Theoriser> yeah, I thought that the music was really good [17:35] <mollywobble> I've never played the games before, but i'm going to have to rent this one [17:35] <Skiplives> I may even get the game - even though it is not my normal type [17:35] <KimmyBlair> I almost pulled out my old Chamber of Secrets game last night [17:35] <KimmyBlair> but I am to terrfied of the crab things [17:35] <KimmyBlair> they freak me out [17:36] <suzb> I played the first 3 but my old PC couldnt handle GoF [17:36] <Theoriser> lol [17:36] <fawkes28> you guys got me excited about the video games last week [17:36] <Theoriser> we just got the chamber of secrets game a while back, so I haven 't finished it yet [17:36] <Skiplives> Kimmy -Play halflife sometime - watch out for the headcrabs [17:36] <KimmyBlair> ahh! [17:36] <KimmyBlair> i hate crabs! [17:36] <suzb> I can never finish the games [17:36] <fawkes28> but i still don't have them because i don't have the game systems [17:36] <KimmyBlair> I had to create Blast end skrewts for a lounge event a while back [17:36] <KimmyBlair> had nightmares [17:37] <suzb> lol [17:37] <Skiplives> they have a PC version fawkes [17:37] <Skiplives> lol Kimmy [17:37] <KimmyBlair> I have the PC version of SS [17:37] <Whisperwing> I remember hunting for those [17:37] <fawkes28> is the PC version as good? [17:37] <KimmyBlair> i dont' remeber [17:37] <Skiplives> same game [17:37] <KimmyBlair> i played many years ago [17:38] <Skiplives> most are direct ports of the console [17:38] <suzb> I play it, I have never played on other platforms but I thnk the pc games are really good [17:38] <Theoriser> The game will allow you to first play as Harry, and then at a certain point have the option of playing instead as Sirius, Dumbledore, or the Weasley twins. Which side-character are you most excited about playing as? [17:38] <KimmyBlair> I like the remotes on the consoules [17:38] <KimmyBlair> The twins! [17:38] <suzb> the twins [17:38] <Theoriser> the Weasley twins, forget about Sirius and Dumbledore [17:38] <mollywobble> Twins [17:38] <fawkes28> yes, i love the twins [17:38] <suzb> give her hell from us Peeves! [17:39] <Skiplives> Tonks would be cool [17:39] <mollywobble> Though I'll enjoy playing as Dumbledore too [17:39] <fawkes28> i think it will make it more humorous to play [17:39] <cbm> I would play as the Twins [17:39] *** moody has joined #lounge [17:39] <Skiplives> Fred or George? [17:39] *** x0ginnyW0x has joined #lounge [17:39] *** HHr-till-the-end has joined #lounge [17:39] <fawkes28> hi ginny and HHr [17:39] <Whisperwing> Wow, it's a toss-up between Sirius and the Twins [17:39] <suzb> Hi ginny, hi HHr [17:39] <x0ginnyW0x> Hi guys [17:39] <fawkes28> i like fred [17:40] <suzb> We are talking about the game [17:40] <HHr-till-the-end> hello [17:40] <fawkes28> is anyone excited about harry?

[17:40] <cbm> You can use itunes without a ipod [17:41] <x0ginnyW0x> You can still download Pottercast onto your mp3 [17:41] <suzb> why cant you direct download it?

[17:41] <HHr-till-the-end> cool [17:41] <Theoriser> and there's the flash player on their website that you can click to listen to it [17:42] <Theoriser> We learned that Peeves is pretty low-priority on the list of characters for the creators to produce in the game, due to the fact that there are 120 or so other characters that they need to produce. Are you surprised at the numbers of people that will be included? [17:42] <HHr-till-the-end> yeah how? :0 [17:42] <KimmyBlair> I am not suprised [17:42] <cbm> yes [17:42] <moody> yeah, theoriser thats what i do [17:42] <fawkes28> i think peeves would really add to the game [17:42] <KimmyBlair> Jim dale did just over 400 voices or somthing for the book [17:42] <mollywobble> Yeah it's incredible [17:42] <Skiplives> It is a big cast [17:42] <fawkes28> i cannot imagine having to create all of them [17:42] <moody> im getting the audio tapes for xmas! [17:43] <suzb> sort of, that they have hat may set out charectors, before it has been a few charectors and then random students [17:43] <HHr-till-the-end> cool [17:43] <moody> with stephen fry [17:43] <KimmyBlair> I also not suprised Peeves is included [17:43] <mollywobble> our conversation has come full cirfle LoL [17:43] <mollywobble> circle [17:43] <KimmyBlair> they said they have tried to make it similar to the movie, which I do not beleive peeves is in [17:43] <suzb> the Stephen Fry audio books are great [17:43] <fawkes28> yes, unfortunately [17:43] <suzb> lol it has molly [17:43] <moody> are they suzb, class!

[17:44] <suzb> yep, those are now the voices I hear when reading the books [17:44] <KimmyBlair> he was filmed, i beleive [17:44] <mollywobble> Part of me feels like he is our little secret though, and that the movie fans only are missing out [17:44] <HHr-till-the-end> they said he might be in OOTH [17:44] <cbm> me too suzb [17:44] <Theoriser> Were you pleased by the creators' comments that other games are often a game with Hogwarts (or whatever) put over it like a shell, but with this game Hogwarts comes first and the game arises out of it and is inspired by it? Are you a big video game player? Have you noticed this about other games? [17:44] <HHr-till-the-end> opps i mean OOTP [17:44] <fawkes28> that is true, molly [17:45] <x0ginnyW0x> I was very pleased [17:45] <fawkes28> i like their thought son hogwarts [17:45] <moody> have to go guys, tea is ready!! its round eleven at night here in ireland! nice chattin to yis!:) [17:45] <fawkes28> bye moody [17:45] <x0ginnyW0x> It was reassuring, I wasn't too thrilled about the other games, this one sounds faboulous though [17:46] <mollywobble> it sounds great, but like i said, i don't have much experience with the Harry Potter games [17:46] <suzb> bye moody [17:46] <HHr-till-the-end> bye!
