[16:07] <KimmyBlair> i'm so far behind [16:07] <Whisperwing> aha [16:07] <HeidiBug> I don't think my family have gotten anything for each other yet. We're being really slow this year.

[16:09] <suzb> there is always time for PotterCast! [16:09] <RitaSkeeter27> apparently i had $25 but spent some on my brother [16:09] <suzb> a little better then, rita [16:09] <RitaSkeeter27> hardly... [16:09] <HeidiBug> I always forget to come to the Chat before it's over, so I'm really surprised that I remembered this time [16:10] <RitaSkeeter27> my mom is impossible to buy for though... really annoying [16:10] <HeidiBug> my mom is too [16:10] <HeidiBug> she always says she doesn't want anything [16:10] <suzb> my mum is easy, its my dad I have trouble with [16:10] <Whisperwing> It's so funny, I was looking over older PC titles and the Sueless Show made me think of Shoeless Joe, and now we're hearing about Shoeless Voldie! [16:10] <HeidiBug> lol [16:11] <fawkes28> well, we just changed it to Tuesdays this week so it was difficult to remember not to come yesterday [16:11] <Whisperwing> That's because it's moved to a new day, Heidi [16:11] <RitaSkeeter27> i liked, "Three Men and a Dawlish"! [16:11] <Whisperwing> Right, you forgot to forget [16:11] <HeidiBug> exactly [16:11] <KimmyBlair> I liked "Dark Mark Life" but I'm biased [16:11] <HeidiBug> They're all great [16:12] <fawkes28> i can't wait to here the holiday filks! [16:12] <Whisperwing> And so next week is the first of the holiday 06 filk cast? [16:12] <RitaSkeeter27> Tuesdays are so much better for me, so I have the time to actually listen to the podcast before the chat [16:12] <Whisperwing> That was the thinking behind it [16:12] <fawkes28> i think there is one more "regular" show and then the filks start [16:12] <RitaSkeeter27> its much better. Thanks so much [16:13] <suzb> exect this was the one week PC came out early! [16:13] <suzb> *except [16:13] <Whisperwing> No it was on time, it was late those other times [16:13] <Theoriser> so, has everyone had a chance to listen to PotterCast? [16:14] <Whisperwing> Yup! [16:14] <HeidiBug> yep [16:14] <suzb> but its has been like that for so long it feels as though thats normal PC time [16:14] <KimmyBlair> i did!

[16:16] <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! [16:16] <Theoriser> Welcome to this moderator-led chat about "PotterCast 67: Attend the Tale of PotterCast." The first two questions are about Movie 5 sneak peaks, so look away if you don't want to be spoiled. [16:16] <Theoriser> The PotterCast trio mentioned the Movie 5 clips shown on ABC Family cable channel a little more than a week ago. Did you see these clips either on tv or in the Leaky galleries? Which were your favorite? [16:16] <Whisperwing> I'm easily distracted, so different pieces of it get through different times I listen. [16:17] <Whisperwing> Um, haven't seen them yet, actually [16:17] <fawkes28> i did see the clips on ABC and i thought they were great [16:17] <KimmyBlair> The order of the pheonix one! [16:17] <KimmyBlair> about the order [16:17] <Whisperwing> Oh wait, yes I have, about six of them anyway [16:17] <HeidiBug> I saw them in the Leaky galleries [16:17] <fawkes28> the picture, kimmy? [16:17] <KimmyBlair> YEAH FOR LEAKY GALLEIRES!!! [16:17] <KimmyBlair> yeah... [16:17] <HeidiBug> The clip of the Order was my favorite [16:17] <KimmyBlair> several peopple have had it up [16:17] <suzb> the little 30 second ones?.... I loved the Luna one! [16:17] <fawkes28> woo hoo! the galleries are awesome! [16:17] <KimmyBlair> I think it's great they added in the detail [16:18] <fawkes28> there was so much to take in [16:18] <HeidiBug> And the one of Bellatrix [16:18] <fawkes28> i'll have to go in and analyze them some more [16:18] <Whisperwing> whoa, Ellen's giving away something huge today... er, sorry [16:18] <suzb> I can't believe how much they have shown! [16:18] <fawkes28> i did enjoy seeing the scenes with luna and umbridge [16:18] <KimmyBlair> me either suzb [16:18] <KimmyBlair> i think it's to much [16:19] <RitaSkeeter27> im trying to stay away from the smaller bits [16:19] *** bookwise92 has joined #lounge [16:19] <RitaSkeeter27> ...and some bigger bits [16:19] <fawkes28> hello bookwise [16:19] <suzb> from the trailer it looked like they were keeping tight lipped about it, than all these clips come out [16:19] <RitaSkeeter27> hey bookswise [16:19] <HeidiBug> I've been watching the clips on YouTube lately though because people have all 13 clips strung together [16:19] <fawkes28> i was surprised at how much they showed us [16:19] <bookwise92> Hello [16:19] <Whisperwing> I don't mind seeing bits of it in advance. [16:19] <Whisperwing> I just wish Molly's boggart scene were in [16:19] <suzb> hi bookwise! [16:19] <fawkes28> right and it is very early on we have awhile before the movie comes out [16:20] <bookwise92> Hey suzb [16:20] <RitaSkeeter27> i didn't like the forth movie much because i felt i had seen too much of it already [16:20] <fawkes28> bookwise, we are talking about the clips we have seen so far from the OotP movie [16:20] <bookwise92> Oh...Kool [16:21] <suzb> i hadn't seen much of GoF, I wassn't very 'fandom - ish' just a huge HP fan, I liked it that way [16:21] <HeidiBug> The clips that we've seen are behind the scenes stuff, so when we see it in theaters it will completely different because of the camera angles and stuff [16:21] <KimmyBlair> good point Heidi [16:21] <suzb> now I feel like i have seen half the movie [16:21] <bookwise92> So...who's your favorite character? [16:21] <fawkes28> right and then there are special effects to be added [16:21] <HeidiBug> and music [16:22] <Whisperwing> Who's the composer this time? [16:22] <HeidiBug> I don't know [16:22] <RitaSkeeter27> hes new isnt he? [16:22] <suzb> is there a different one, i never notice [16:22] <Theoriser> The ABC Family tv clips included the moving picture of the Original Order of the Phoenix. Did you notice Peter in between Lily and James? Are you glad that they are using the same Lily and James as the other movies? Did you see Aberforth? Did he look like Gandalf? [16:22] <Whisperwing> Another new one? [16:23] <Whisperwing> I am glad it's the same Lily and James [16:23] <KimmyBlair> i did not notice Peter.... [16:23] *** fawkes28 has quit [Bye] [16:23] *** fawkes28 has joined #lounge [16:23] <KimmyBlair> i'll have to go back [16:23] <HeidiBug> I didn't see Aberforth. I've looked for him but I can't find him [16:23] <Whisperwing> I saw him [16:23] <KimmyBlair> i agree Whisperwing [16:23] <HeidiBug> I did notice Peter though [16:23] <suzb> i didn't see it properly, i didn't look at the screencap yet [16:23] <HeidiBug> I love that they have kept the same Lily and James through out [16:23] <KimmyBlair> i like continuity (or however you spell that) [16:24] <Whisperwing> Well there's no reason for it to be a younger set of actors since they'd be close to the age we lost them at [16:24] <fawkes28> me too, heidi [16:24] <Whisperwing> In the photo that is [16:26] <KimmyBlair> i'll have to go back [16:26] <HeidiBug> I didn't see Aberforth. I've looked for him but I can't find him [16:26] <Whisperwing> I saw him [16:26] <KimmyBlair> i agree Whisperwing [16:26] <HeidiBug> I did notice Peter though [16:27] -NickServ- Password accepted - you are now recognized. [16:27] <suzb> i didn't see it properly, i didn't look at the screencap yet [16:27] <HeidiBug> I love that they have kept the same Lily and James through out [16:27] <KimmyBlair> i like continuity (or however you spell that) [16:27] <Whisperwing> Well there's no reason for it to be a younger set of actors since they'd be close to the age we lost them at [16:27] <fawkes28> me too, heidi [16:28] <Whisperwing> In the photo that is [16:28] *** bookwise92 has quit [Bye] [16:28] *** bookwise92 has joined #lounge [16:28] <Whisperwing> The Pensieve scene, that's another matter [16:28] <HeidiBug> I saw Flitwick . . . At least I think it was Flitwick [16:28] <fawkes28> i missed aberforth though [16:28] <Whisperwing> Might have been Dedalus Diggle [16:28] <bookwise92> I missed it too [16:29] <HeidiBug> can't find aberforth, is he beside Dumbledore? [16:29] *** bookwise92 has quit [Bye] [16:29] <fawkes28> kimmy, is there a picture of aberforth on the galleries from the clip? [16:29] *** MrMcGonagall has joined #lounge [16:29] <KimmyBlair> hmm [16:29] <fawkes28> hi mr. m smile [16:29] <HeidiBug> Oh, wait I see him now! He DOES like Gandalf! [16:30] <Whisperwing> Mr McG, hi! [16:30] <RitaSkeeter27> hey mr. m! [16:30] <MrMcGonagall> Hi, everybody1 [16:30] <suzb> hey MrMcG! [16:30] <fawkes28> it is nice that they included aberforth [16:30] <Whisperwing> Aberforth likes Gandalf? And Dobby is Smeagol's friend, yeah? [16:30] <HeidiBug> lol [16:30] <fawkes28> we are talking about the Order picture from the 5th movie, mr. m [16:30] <HeidiBug> That's not what I meant [16:30] <Whisperwing> I know [16:31] <KimmyBlair> here is one [16:31] <KimmyBlair> http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/...t/picture/75983 [16:31] <Whisperwing> I just love that acceptance speech from the MTV movie awards [16:31] <fawkes28> thanks [16:31] <HeidiBug> I didn't notice aberforth before because I mistook him for Dumbledore [16:31] <MrMcGonagall> Oh, I haven't seen the picture yet. There are so many clips from the movie that have been released that I can't keep up. [16:31] <KimmyBlair> but i beleive that is dumbledore [16:31] <HeidiBug> that's what I thought [16:31] <KimmyBlair> http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/...t/picture/76002 [16:31] <KimmyBlair> is a second one [16:32] <HeidiBug> But Dumbledore doesn't look like Gandalf [16:32] <Whisperwing> Ah yeah, the little guy must be Dedalus Diggle, he's wearing the hat [16:32] <KimmyBlair> http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/...t/picture/76017 [16:32] <KimmyBlair> a third picture [16:32] <KimmyBlair> ohhh good thought Whisperwing! [16:32] <HeidiBug> I'm confused now. Is that supposed to be Dumbledore or Aberforth? [16:32] <Theoriser> thanks Kimmy, I hadn't seen these before [16:32] <MrMcGonagall> Thanks for the links, Kimmy! [16:32] <KimmyBlair> haha anytime! [16:32] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's DD. [16:32] <KimmyBlair> it's my job to get the Galleries out there [16:32] <fawkes28> the galleries queen smile [16:32] <suzb> me neither, thanks Kimmy! [16:33] <KimmyBlair> we also have the vidoes up in the Vidoe galleries, if anyone wants to see them [16:33] <Whisperwing> Between James and Sirius, is that one of the Prewitts, one of Molly's brothers? [16:33] <RitaSkeeter27> thanks kimmy! [16:33] *** LilaViseckBrious has joined #lounge [16:33] <fawkes28> hi lila [16:33] <RitaSkeeter27> hey lila [16:33] <LilaViseckBrious> It is Tuesday, right? [16:33] <LilaViseckBrious> hey [16:33] <suzb> hey Lila [16:33] <fawkes28> yes, our PC chats are now on Tuesdays [16:34] <MrMcGonagall> Hooray for Tuesdays! [16:34] <Whisperwing> Pretty dress Lily's wearing [16:34] <LilaViseckBrious> ah, cause it says Monday the 12th and I got confused [16:34] <HeidiBug> Yes, I love Lily's dress [16:34] <KimmyBlair> (for anyone who is wondering.... all of the ABC things are screencapped here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/...t/category/693) [16:34] <Whisperwing> Since Monday was the 11th, I can see the confusion [16:34] <suzb> we are talking about the orignal order pic, lila [16:34] <KimmyBlair> oh wiat [16:34] <KimmyBlair> http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/...lt/category/693 [16:34] <Theoriser> Have you seen the new Order of Phoenix toys? Did you think Harry's patronus looks like a reindeer? If they're showing him with a patronus, do you think we'll see Harry's in the movie? [16:35] <KimmyBlair> i like how they show the new order towards the end [16:35] <LilaViseckBrious> that's exactly what I thought [16:35] <MrMcGonagall> Hehe. The Rudolph Patronus. [16:35] <KimmyBlair> I think we will see it in the DA [16:35] <HeidiBug> I think we will see Harrys patronus [16:35] <KimmyBlair> or at his test [16:35] <Theoriser> haha [16:35] <Whisperwing> We should see the scene with everyone's Patronus [16:35] <Theoriser> John was getting into the christmas spirit [16:35] <RitaSkeeter27> i think its unavoidable [16:35] <Whisperwing> Hermione's otter [16:35] <HeidiBug> Cho's swan [16:35] <LilaViseckBrious> When PC mentioned it, I realized it was a patronus [16:35] <suzb> well I hope the movie people can afford to make it look a little less like a reindeer [16:35] <MrMcGonagall> I'm sure we'll see the Patronus. Perhaps not at the OWL, but definitely in Wisteria Walk. [16:35] <RitaSkeeter27> that would be awesome WW [16:36] <HeidiBug> I would rather see it at the OWL than at Wisteria Walk [16:36] <KimmyBlair> i totally forgot about Wisteria Walk!!! (I avoid book 5 often) [16:36] <Whisperwing> And even though she forgot it in the book, Ron's Jack Russel [16:36] <suzb> i want to see both [16:36] <RitaSkeeter27> well theyre not cutting the wizengamot scene so he has to conjure it there, Heidi [16:36] <MrMcGonagall> It would be an easy thing to cut from the OWL scene, though. It's not really necessary. [16:37] <suzb> that would be a cool nod to the fans, Whisper [16:37] <fawkes28> it does look like a reindeer [16:37] <HeidiBug> Well, they don't really have to show the patronus, they could just make this fluffy misty stuff come out of Harry's wand [16:37] <HeidiBug> though, I hope they don't do that [16:37] <suzb> but its one of the more interesting OWL's, we don't want ot watch Harry writing, MrM [16:37] <Whisperwing> If you have a laser pointer, you can really make it look like Rudolph [16:38] <HeidiBug> lol [16:38] <KimmyBlair> someone made a great Rudolph avatar [16:38] <MrMcGonagall> There's plenty to see in the OWL practicals, though, even without Harry's bonus points. [16:38] <LilaViseckBrious> I think only the HoM OWL will be filmed [16:38] <LilaViseckBrious> and maybe the Astronomy one [16:38] <HeidiBug> Harry's bonus points is the best part [16:38] <Whisperwing> Have to do the Astronomy one for everyone to see McGonagall get Stupefied [16:39] <HeidiBug> I agree [16:39] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, Heidi. I don't want to see it cut, but I would understand why they might. [16:39] <LilaViseckBrious> they're the only ones crucial to the plot [16:39] <Whisperwing> And for Hagrid to have his Rocky Horror moment [16:39] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [16:39] <Whisperwing> No one but me has thought that? Hagrid getting hit with Spupefies being like Riff Raff shooting at Rocky? [16:39] <HeidiBug> I just think that if we don't see Peeve attack Umbrige, I'd rather see Harry's Patronus attack her than one of Fred and George's fireworks [16:40] <Whisperwing> er, Stupefies [16:40] <MrMcGonagall> I've been waiting and waiting to see Peeves on screen. I hope it happens in OotP. [16:40] <Theoriser> Now onto the fan interview with Kimmy Blair and Kelly. Do you know of teachers who have used Harry Potter in their classrooms? Have you ever had a teacher use Harry Potter in your class? [16:41] <suzb> ;'/.................... [16:41] <HeidiBug> sadly, no to both [16:41] <KimmyBlair> Well I do know of a few staffers who have used HP in their classroom [16:41] <suzb> sorry thats my cat saying hi [16:41] <Whisperwing> I snuck Harry Potter into assignments in college when I was a student, does that count? [16:41] <LilaViseckBrious> I had a course in college just for HP [16:41] <MrMcGonagall> Well, Harry Potter wasn't really written when I was last in a classroom. I've heard of teachers using it to great effect, though. [16:41] <LilaViseckBrious> only one credit though [16:41] <KimmyBlair> aslo at Lumos a few teachers gave presentations about how they have used it [16:41] <LilaViseckBrious> just en excuse to talk HP [16:41] <fawkes28> it is very easy to connect in the classroom [16:41] <KimmyBlair> but like Mr.McG me and HP were not int he classroom at the same time [16:41] <fawkes28> because it relates on so many different levels to many great works of literature [16:41] <HeidiBug> I've read book report on HP, does that count? [16:41] <RitaSkeeter27> that's so cool lila! [16:41] *** ph63915 has joined #lounge [16:41] <MrMcGonagall> I have used the word "Hufflepuff" in a sermon, though. [16:41] <fawkes28> hi ph [16:42] <ph63915> hi all [16:42] <fawkes28> yay, mr. m [16:42] <LilaViseckBrious> It was a bit disappointing cause I was the biggest fan in the room [16:42] <suzb> hi ph [16:42] <RitaSkeeter27> hey ph! [16:42] <Whisperwing> And, I gave the abuse survivors counselor a well received suggestion about using Harry Potter as an example of someone coming from an abusive homelife rising into a better place [16:42] <fawkes28> i still mention HP everyday in my classroom in some way [16:42] <MrMcGonagall> I absolutely loved the fan interview. Whoo-hoo for fawkes! [16:42] <KimmyBlair> (by the way... can I just say awesome fan interview Kelly....) [16:42] <HeidiBug> very awesome fan interview [16:42] <Whisperwing> Can I totally agree with that? [16:42] <LilaViseckBrious> yes, it was one of the best [16:43] <suzb> I said it already but it really was a good fan interview, fawkes [16:43] <HeidiBug> my fave so far I think [16:43] <RitaSkeeter27> it was awesome! [16:43] <Theoriser> yeah, it was a great interview smile [16:43] <LilaViseckBrious> really sweet story [16:43] <fawkes28> thankssmile kimmy is an awesome interviewer!!! [16:43] <KimmyBlair> I have talked to so many people who were moved to tears by Kelly's experiences... [16:43] <HeidiBug> wow [16:43] <Whisperwing> Add me to the list [16:43] <KimmyBlair> ok ... sorry! just wanted to say that [16:43] <HeidiBug> I almost cried [16:43] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [16:44] <fawkes28> i had a lot of fun doing it it was nice to share with everyone [16:44] <suzb> I can't beleive you got 13-14 year old boys that interested in a book [16:44] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's what makes the novels so great - even though this is technically a "fantasy" genre, it really does connect to people's lives, aand Kelly's stories illustrated that in a powerful way. [16:44] <fawkes28> i tricked them wink [16:44] <Whisperwing> Well that was the year Harry was their age, really [16:44] <KimmyBlair> good Point Mr.McG [16:44] <HeidiBug> I loved the part where the boys didn't want to be Hermione [16:44] <fawkes28> yes! [16:44] <suzb> hehe, that made me laugh [16:44] <Theoriser> Have you ever used Harry Potter to fulfill an assignment in a class at school? [16:44] <LilaViseckBrious> yeah, book reports in HS [16:45] <Whisperwing> Um, as I said before... yes [16:45] <KimmyBlair> I always love meeting poeple in real life who have read the books... it's so amazing how many different types of people like it [16:45] <HeidiBug> I used it in a speech [16:45] <RitaSkeeter27> we had to do a project on our heroes once, and I did Jo. [16:45] <KimmyBlair> oh that's very cook Rita! [16:45] <fawkes28> what was the speech about heidi? [16:45] <suzb> nope... *sob* [16:45] <HeidiBug> I'm trying to remember [16:45] <fawkes28> i think there have been a few people who have done their dissertation on it, which is impressive [16:46] <HeidiBug> There were two speeches that I did, one was on why the books shouldn't be banned and the other . . . [16:46] <fawkes28> i don't just think HP is limited to literature classes, it can be used in ethics class as well as many others [16:46] <RitaSkeeter27> It was in the forth grade when i did mine. I had to make a paper version of her, so I traced my outlin, and put her in one of my dresses! [16:46] <suzb> lol, rita [16:46] <fawkes28> that's nice heidi [16:47] <HeidiBug> I can't remember the other one! [16:47] <HeidiBug> *bangs head against desk* [16:47] <Theoriser> aww [16:47] <LilaViseckBrious> ooo, I used Harry Potter as an example in one of my essays to show that children do like reading, it's just that authors don't always cater to the http://www.leakylounge.com/style_images/1/...images/bold.gif Boldchildren’s needs or wants [16:47] <fawkes28> jo is a good good role model for both young men and women [16:47] <Theoriser> I don't think I've ever been able to use them in an assignment [16:48] <KimmyBlair> i think it's great wwhen people get to work it into papers and such [16:48] <HeidiBug> Oh! The other one was on why I loved Harry Potter! [16:48] <Theoriser> that's interesting Lila [16:48] <suzb> i don't take a subject where it could be used [16:48] <KimmyBlair> it just spreads the word on harry potter, which is always beneficial [16:48] <fawkes28> plus as fans it is easy for us to write or talk about [16:48] <Theoriser> Have you ever tricked someone into reading Harry Potter? Did you, yourself, have to be convinced to read the books in the first place? [16:48] <RitaSkeeter27> My C-student brother got an A on his book report for CoS. [16:48] <Whisperwing> The not catering is where the author shines. Writing honestly rather than to a formula [16:48] <LilaViseckBrious> yes, everyone I know [16:48] <KimmyBlair> I sort of tricked My fiance into reading them [16:48] <LilaViseckBrious> some are lost causes though [16:49] <LilaViseckBrious> lol, Kimmy [16:49] <KimmyBlair> He was complaing he had nothing to listen to on his driving route [16:49] <KimmyBlair> i gave him SS on tape [16:49] <MrMcGonagall> I haven't tricked anybody, but I badgered my mom into reading them and now she's as obsessed a fan as I am. [16:49] <HeidiBug> I tricked my fan into becoming an obsessive fan . . . unintentionally [16:49] <Whisperwing> Convinced? Me? More like having to be held back from it! [16:49] <fawkes28> if you ever trick anyone, write a summary for them without mentioning anything about wizards [16:49] <HeidiBug> I tricked my dad into "reading" them by getting him the books on audio [16:49] <MrMcGonagall> I had never picked up one of the books until the first movie. That inspired me, and I've re-read the series countless times now. [16:50] <Whisperwing> But then again I was coming from a long history of devotion to serial books, not just Tolkien but dozens of fantasy authors [16:50] <fawkes28> kids as well as adults have preconceived notions about the books [16:50] <MrMcGonagall> I think the hurdle for a lot of adults to pick up the books is that they think it's just children's literature. [16:50] <HeidiBug> I didn't want to read the books at first because they were "too long" [16:50] <fawkes28> yes, mr. m you are exactly right [16:50] <HeidiBug> Of course, now I regret ever thinking that [16:50] <LilaViseckBrious> Whisperwing, I wrote that JKR doesn't try to sugar coat everything and most children's authors feel children needed to be protected from many things [16:50] <suzb> i got into them before all that, I just knew it was a book about magic [16:51] <MrMcGonagall> I always agree with C.S. Lewis, that a book worth reading at age 10 is worth reading at age 50. [16:51] <fawkes28> but then when many adults actually get into them they realize it's not just a children's book [16:51] <Whisperwing> Xanth, Dragonriders of Pern, Robert Asprin's Myth series... [16:51] <Theoriser> I didn't want to read the books, I thought they were for little kids, but then I got into them and loved them [16:51] <Whisperwing> The Thomas Covenant books [16:51] <KimmyBlair> i saw the movie first [16:51] <KimmyBlair> HAD to read them after that [16:51] <fawkes28> her books span across many generations, which is wonderful because we all can get different meaning [16:51] <LilaViseckBrious> yeah, me too I watched SS and CoS first [16:51] <suzb> how old were you when you got into them Theoriser? [16:52] <LilaViseckBrious> because I didn't want to ruin the movies [16:52] <HeidiBug> A boy in my class kept doing book reports on them and they sounded really good [16:52] <Whisperwing> I inisisted on getting the book before the first movie came out because I refuse to see a movie based on a book unless I read the book first. [16:52] <LilaViseckBrious> but I couldn't wait for PoA, so I read it and....guess what? Disappointed [16:52] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I now find that it's less traumatic to see the movies if I don't refresh my memory with the book beforehand! [16:52] <HeidiBug> I agree [16:52] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [16:52] <Theoriser> How have reading the books impacted your overall interest in reading? [16:52] <Whisperwing> I thrive in the 'trauma' [16:52] <suzb> im like that, whisper, thats why I still haen't seen LotR [16:52] <LilaViseckBrious> I always read the book the week before the movie comes out [16:52] <Whisperwing> ouch [16:53] <MrMcGonagall> I was already an avid reader - HP just gave me something new to delve into. [16:53] <Theoriser> same, Mr M [16:53] <fawkes28> yes, they have made me remember how much i loved reading as a child - it made me make time to read more books again [16:53] <Whisperwing> My brother's the reverse, he refuses to ever read Lord Of The Rings and claims he was waiting all his life for it to be made into a movie [16:53] <HeidiBug> I've always been an avid reader as well, but Harry Potter got me into writing [16:53] <fawkes28> that's interesting, heidi [16:53] <suzb> i always read loads, i don't think HP changed that [16:54] <LilaViseckBrious> I was never into books. Movies are my thing, but now I read more than the required reading [16:54] <RitaSkeeter27> I was six when I came across HP, so my thought was, "If this book is so good, then other books must be really good!" [16:54] <Whisperwing> I've been reading since I was three, I don't ever need to be talked into reading [16:54] <fawkes28> that is what a lot of people think, rita, which is really great [16:54] <HeidiBug> I just loved the characters so I started writing fanfic and now I'm majoring in Creative Writing in college [16:54] <ph63915> Ive always read books but HP got me into the internet fandom...never seen anything like it before for analysis and comment! [16:54] <MrMcGonagall> That's awesome, Heidi! [16:55] <Theoriser> Like the boys in Kelly's classroom, have you ever related to Harry or other characters in the books? [16:55] <suzb> wow, heidi, HP really changed your life! [16:55] <fawkes28> true, ph [16:55] <HeidiBug> I want to meet Jo so I can thank her [16:55] <LilaViseckBrious> for those who read loads, is the Potter series the best? [16:55] <Whisperwing> So Hermione [16:55] <RitaSkeeter27> I'm very Hermione-ish [16:55] <fawkes28> that is awesome, heidi [16:55] <suzb> me too Rita [16:55] <Whisperwing> Actually, I relate a lot to Molly, too [16:55] <LilaViseckBrious> yes, a whole lot with Harry and a little with Snape [16:55] <fawkes28> i definitely relate to hermione [16:56] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's among the best. It's in a genre all its own, but it's definitely in my top five series. [16:56] <fawkes28> but i also relate to lupin as a teacher [16:56] *** futureweasley has joined #lounge [16:56] <Whisperwing> Not Minerva? [16:56] <fawkes28> hi future! [16:56] <LilaViseckBrious> that's cool, MrM [16:56] <RitaSkeeter27> hey future! [16:56] <MrMcGonagall> Yay for future! [16:56] <LilaViseckBrious> hey future [16:56] <suzb> hi future [16:56] <HeidiBug> hellow [16:56] <futureweasley> hi guys! [16:56] <fawkes28> we are chatting about characters we relate to in the series [16:56] <KimmyBlair> oh i've never thought about who i relate to... [16:56] <HeidiBug> I relate to Luna . . . kind of [16:57] <fawkes28> what is great about the books is that i think pretty much everyone can find someone to relate to [16:57] <futureweasley> lol, I evidently relate to Percy...what's that's all about, I have no idea [16:57] <RitaSkeeter27> I'd say that Luna is my second closest character [16:57] *** fifth_marouder has joined #lounge [16:57] <suzb> i think i'm rather Hermione like, with a touch of Luna, odd as it sounds [16:57] <fawkes28> hi fifth [16:57] <LilaViseckBrious> a mixture of Harry, Snape, and Sirius for me. They all have similarities [16:57] <futureweasley> hi fifth [16:57] <Whisperwing> Set me straight here -- are you going to be a Weasley, or are you a Weasley from the future, come back on a mission, like Trunks or Hiro? [16:57] <ph63915> I want to be Mr Weasley...I have twins and want to be the fun dad as they grow up! [16:57] <fifth_marouder> hi [16:57] <RitaSkeeter27> hey fifth! [16:57] <MrMcGonagall> I know that I'm Hermionish. There's a good bit of Harry in me, too, though. Not much Ron, to be honest. [16:57] <HeidiBug> I think we can all relate to Harry in some shape or form and that's what makes him such a great character [16:58] <fawkes28> me too, mr. m [16:58] <fifth_marouder> I think I'm kinda like sirius [16:58] <Theoriser> yeah HeidiBug [16:58] <KimmyBlair> i dont' know who i am! [16:58] <fawkes28> yes, heidi...harry is a great character [16:58] <suzb> i think everyone relates to at least one of the trio [16:58] <fawkes28> he is not perfect which many people enjoy [16:58] <LilaViseckBrious> Hermione's are the good girls. You can really tell a lot about a person if they say they're similar to this character or that character [16:58] <Whisperwing> Here's how I can relate to Harry in just this past week. I went to take my glasses off and the frame snapped in my hand. [16:58] <MrMcGonagall> So long as I don't feel like Umbridge, I'm good. [16:58] <RitaSkeeter27> lol MrM [16:58] <HeidiBug> lol whisperwing [16:58] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [16:59] <fawkes28> yes, no umbridge [16:59] <suzb> aww.. Kimmy who do you think you relate to then? [16:59] <fifth_marouder> we talking about the episode 67 [16:59] <KimmyBlair> hmmm [16:59] <KimmyBlair> i don't know!!! [16:59] <KimmyBlair> i like Ginny... [16:59] <HeidiBug> I can relate to Snape a bit with how he was teased [16:59] <RitaSkeeter27> the characters we relate to, fifth [16:59] <KimmyBlair> but I dont' think i'm as strong as her... [16:59] <LilaViseckBrious> Ginny is awesome [16:59] <HeidiBug> love ginny [16:59] <KimmyBlair> perhaps Mrs. Weasley.. because i worry about my friends so much [16:59] <suzb> i love Ginny [16:59] <MrMcGonagall> I think Kimmy is a bit like Ginny. [16:59] <Whisperwing> It makes sense to me that I'd feel like both Hermione and Molly -- it seems it's the Molly in Hermione that let me figure out she and Ron were fated to be together [16:59] <KimmyBlair> ginny's my fav! [16:59] <KimmyBlair> awww thanks MrMcg! [17:00] <futureweasley> (surprised) Ginny? Really Kimmy?! :-P [17:00] <KimmyBlair> hahahah [17:00] <MrMcGonagall> Smart, capable, funny, but don't get on her bad side! biggrin [17:00] <KimmyBlair> i ALWAYS have a ginny icon... except now [17:00] <fawkes28> ginny is a great character to relate too [17:00] <KimmyBlair> ohh good point! You do not want to be on my bad side! [17:00] <futureweasley> I like your Tonks one right now...it's cool! [17:00] <KimmyBlair> plus she's strong [17:00] <KimmyBlair> i really admire that one! [17:01] <LilaViseckBrious> Tonks annoys me so much [17:01] <MrMcGonagall> Just for the record, I've never been on Kimmy's bad side, and don't want to! Hehe. [17:01] <LilaViseckBrious> I'm not exactly sure why [17:01] <LilaViseckBrious> but she does [17:01] <HeidiBug> love Tonks [17:01] <KimmyBlair> (thanks future! I made it with art that Caladan_dd made) [17:01] *** pottterfreak987654316 has joined #lounge [17:01] <RitaSkeeter27> I love Tonks! [17:01] <fawkes28> hi potterfreak [17:01] <fifth_marouder> Uhmm what from episode 67 are we talking about [17:01] <RitaSkeeter27> hey potterfreak! [17:01] <pottterfreak987654321> hi room [17:01] <KimmyBlair> I don't know if we've really seen enough of tonks to make a descision about her... at least for me [17:01] <Theoriser> Like Kelly's students, have you ever written down your predictions for a future chapter while reading one of the books? [17:01] <LilaViseckBrious> you don't think she's a little too goofy or immature? [17:01] <ph63915> Ooh gotta go, next episode of 24 is on! [17:02] <suzb> bye ph [17:02] *** ph63915 left #lounge [] [17:02] <MrMcGonagall> No, I just keep them all up in my head. [17:02] <LilaViseckBrious> um, I did after OotP but not during [17:02] <HeidiBug> I keep them in my head [17:02] <KimmyBlair> I read to fast! [17:02] <KimmyBlair> i do also Heid [17:02] <RitaSkeeter27> i'm too caught up in the books to think about it much, i think [17:02] <suzb> nope I can't stop reading in the middle of the book for that look, I would explode [17:02] <MrMcGonagall> I do get into betting pools with people I know. [17:02] <pottterfreak987654321> me 2 [17:02] <fawkes28> i did for the 5th book and 6th book so i could go back and see if i was anywhere in the ballpark [17:02] <futureweasley> I haven't done that, but I think I'm going to when I read 7... [17:02] <fawkes28> i plan on doing that with the next book as well [17:02] <futureweasley> or, the lounge has helped me to get my theories down before 7 [17:02] <Whisperwing> This is where I get into trouble in the reading groups. I just can't slow myself down and read only three chapters at a time [17:03] <KimmyBlair> hahaha [17:03] <HeidiBug> I predicted Umbrige would be the new DADA teacher, but I kept it in my head, so when I tried to tell my mom this, she didn't believe me [17:03] <fawkes28> because the 7th book is the last chance we will get to make predictions and i think it will be fun to remember what i had thought at the time [17:03] <futureweasley> (i.e. Snape is evile)...I will stick with that until I'm proved right [17:03] <fawkes28> oh, future [17:03] <pottterfreak987654321> i can read the 6th book in about half a day [17:03] <Theoriser> me too future! [17:03] <LilaViseckBrious> nooooo! [17:03] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [17:03] <futureweasley> YAY! [17:03] <fawkes28> i am sticking my theory with snape as well wink [17:03] <RitaSkeeter27> me too future! [17:03] <suzb> i never notice the subtle clues on the first read, I get to wrapped up in Harry's world [17:03] <LilaViseckBrious> Snape is a Goody-two-shoes [17:04] <KimmyBlair> that's why i like the Reading groups... they help me notice the subtle clues [17:04] <fawkes28> i think it is nice to have a written record of our thoughts [17:04] <Theoriser> Have you ever discussed Harry Potter in a book club? How about in the Leaky Lounge's Reading Groups? How was that experience different from reading the books on your own? [17:04] <MrMcGonagall> I tend to be looking for confirmation of my theories when I read, so I don't get too busy formulating theories about what is to come. [17:04] <fawkes28> we are in a special time right now [17:04] <fifth_marouder> I'm torn between RAB theories. [17:04] <LilaViseckBrious> yeah, for Ss and CoS [17:04] <MrMcGonagall> The reading groups are incredible. Everybody on the Lounge should be in one. Squeeeeee! [17:04] <fawkes28> i have been in all 4 of the reading groups! [17:04] <fifth_marouder> Can't decide wich of two people rab is [17:04] <futureweasley> yes, I need to get more active in my RG...I read the threads, and they've helped me to identify so many things that I hadn't seen before [17:04] *** pottterfreak987654321 has quit [Bye] [17:04] <HeidiBug> I'm going to try to get into those reading groups next time [17:04] <fawkes28> it is so nice to learn from other people [17:04] <KimmyBlair> i've run 4 reading groups!!! [17:04] <MrMcGonagall> I started with the groups with CoS. [17:04] <fawkes28> they are great heidi! [17:04] <Theoriser> I'm in a reading group... but I have been neglecting it recently [17:04] <suzb> this is my first RG [17:05] <KimmyBlair> I think the group setting allowes you to notice more details [17:05] <futureweasley> Kimmy = RG Queen [17:05] <KimmyBlair> i learned new things about Book 1 in the RG... [17:05] <Theoriser> I do intend to start posting in it again though [17:05] <fifth_marouder> I think RAB could be Rudolf Brand [17:05] <futureweasley> Future = RG Slacker [17:05] <fawkes28> it is nice to change groups after each book and meet new people and hear new theories [17:05] <KimmyBlair> it's amazing how people notice different things... even if you've read a book 6 or more times [17:05] <LilaViseckBrious> If I'm in a reading group and I miss the day the threads are posted for those sets of chapters, I just don't post [17:05] <MrMcGonagall> I love hearing different ideas from people all over the world. I also love reading the series sloooowly, instead of at my breakneck pace. [17:05] <fawkes28> but we always will have our welcome room wink [17:05] <fifth_marouder> Who else thinks rab is rudolf brand [17:05] <futureweasley> lol, too true fawkes [17:05] <LilaViseckBrious> cause everyone has written what you wanted to write [17:06] <fawkes28> mr. m, you are so right. we do meet people from all over the world...it amazes me how far jo's power and influence goes [17:06] <MrMcGonagall> I wrote a holiday filk about Christmas in the Great Hall. I was inspired by our GoF common room. [17:06] <Whisperwing> That sounds like my issue, Lila [17:06] <fawkes28> awww [17:06] <KimmyBlair> I noticed that when I sent out my Chrsitmas cards! [17:06] <futureweasley> aww, MrMcG! [17:06] <futureweasley> that's too cool! [17:06] <KimmyBlair> I sent out some to Japan, australia, UK, Canada [17:06] <fifth_marouder> Come on some else must think RAB could be rudolf brand [17:06] <Whisperwing> Have you recorded it? [17:06] <KimmyBlair> it was cool to know I had friends all over the world [17:06] <RitaSkeeter27> wow, kimmy. [17:07] <fawkes28> i love when i read about what someone posted and i had never thought about that [17:07] <fawkes28> that is awesome kimmy [17:07] <RitaSkeeter27> here i was, impressed i had a British friend... [17:07] <futureweasley> wow, that's a lot of people all over the place, Kimmy. My most exotic destination for a Christmas Card was Oklahoma City, OK. [17:07] <LilaViseckBrious> Doesn't everyone think it's Regulus? The translations make it seem that it is [17:07] * futureweasley rolls her eyes [17:07] <fawkes28> i love the people i have gotten to know on Leaky hug [17:07] <Whisperwing> I believe it's mostly accepted that it's Regulus Black, yes [17:07] <suzb> lol same here Rita, but visa versa [17:07] <fawkes28> Just a friendly reminder to stay on topic, folks. [17:07] <fifth_marouder> I have a friend from massachuessettes if it counts for anything [17:07] <Whisperwing> yes ma'am [17:08] <Theoriser> Kelly chose to have the boys in her class read Book 3 because Movie 3 wasn't out yet. Did you read any of the books before Movie 1 came out? How have your experiences with the books been different when you've seen the movie first, versus when you've read the book first? [17:08] <MrMcGonagall> Some of my college students think I'm dorky for reading Harry Potter, and they think I'm really dorky about Leaky. But I revel in it. [17:08] <KimmyBlair> I did not read any of the books before Movie 1 came out, and that makes me sad... becuase I feel like I missed a good portion of the fandom [17:08] <HeidiBug> I've the books first, always [17:08] <suzb> i was reading way before the movies [17:08] <LilaViseckBrious> yes, reading the books first will always ruin your movie experience [17:08] <LilaViseckBrious> PoA was a nightmare! [17:08] <KimmyBlair> i missed having my own vision of ron and hermion in my head [17:08] <fifth_marouder> I got into the series when i was six [17:09] <Whisperwing> Oh... nothing in PoA was as bad as Fireplace Sirius in GoF [17:09] <HeidiBug> Sometimes I get the actors mixed up with the characters [17:09] <Whisperwing> Or Fireface [17:09] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [17:09] <fawkes28> that is tough, kimmy, i bet other people feel that way [17:09] <HeidiBug> The "fireface" was terrible [17:09] <LilaViseckBrious> lack of marauders in PoA still hurts [17:09] <MrMcGonagall> I didn't start with the books until after the first movie. I was satisfied with CoS, but I started having problems with the films round about PoA. I hated GoF. [17:10] <Whisperwing> I did find myself trying to reconcile the actors with how I'd already pictured the characters [17:10] <LilaViseckBrious> fireface was pretty bad. I wonder if they'll use it in OotP [17:10] <suzb> not to rub it in Kimmy, but I am really glad that I have gottn to build up my own pictures on the charecters [17:10] <fifth_marouder> Is anyone here gonna try and make the Prongs-Rudolf thing [17:10] <fawkes28> it is nice to have the movies but i just keep reminding myself that they will never replace the books in my heart [17:10] <KimmyBlair> see i missed out on that! [17:10] <HeidiBug> I loved the feel of POA enough to overlook its faults [17:10] <KimmyBlair> but the other part of it is, had i not seen the4 movie, i never would of read the books [17:10] <Whisperwing> I thought David Thewlis was quite like I'd pictured Remus, but I wasn't sold on Gary Oldman at all [17:10] <suzb> plus I had my over active 9 year old imagination to figure out the charectors [17:11] <MrMcGonagall> Oddly, the books still acquired hold over my imagination. Mary Grandpre's art has actually influenced me more than the movies. [17:11] <RitaSkeeter27> me too, Heidi [17:11] <Whisperwing> Actually, I think Makani's interpretations influence me more than the actors [17:11] <LilaViseckBrious> I think David Thewlis is a terrible Lupin [17:11] <LilaViseckBrious> he doesn't play him as kind [17:11] <HeidiBug> I love David Thewlis! [17:11] <HeidiBug> And Gary Oldman [17:11] <fifth_marouder> He's good aside from the hitlers stache [17:11] <HeidiBug> lol [17:11] <suzb> lol [17:11] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [17:11] <futureweasley> ooh, I agree Whisperwing...I see Makani's drawings in my head constantly [17:12] <Theoriser> yeah, I think David Thewlis was a good Lupin, he just had a very strange moustache [17:12] <LilaViseckBrious> What about him yelling at Harry? [17:12] <LilaViseckBrious> he was only supposed to be disappointed in him [17:12] <RitaSkeeter27> The actors helped me with picturing them. They were all cartoon characters before the movies. [17:12] <LilaViseckBrious> and his creepy face when Harry mentioned Petter [17:12] <HeidiBug> Thanks fifth, now I've died laughing [17:12] <MrMcGonagall> I've never had serious problems about the actors (except maybe Michael Gambon) - it's the directorial choices that have bothered me. [17:12] <RitaSkeeter27> You know Lila from Hey Arnold? That was my hermione. [17:12] <Whisperwing> Except... I always picture Bill as Eric Stoltz [17:12] <suzb> thats why i like the british cover art, it is not very cartoon-y [17:12] <LilaViseckBrious> haha [17:12] <Theoriser> lol rita [17:13] <Theoriser> Have you ever read the books aloud or heard them read aloud? By doing this, did you gain any new insight or appreciation of the characters or the books? [17:13] <futureweasley> sorry kids, gotta fly. Have a good PotterCast chat, and I'll see you soon! [17:13] <suzb> i always listen to the audio books [17:13] <RitaSkeeter27> My mom read the first book and a half to me. [17:13] * futureweasley waves [17:13] *** futureweasley left #lounge [] [17:13] <Whisperwing> I always amreading them out loud [17:13] <suzb> I love stephen fry's version of the ooks [17:13] <MrMcGonagall> I love hearing Jo read from the books, even just bits. I don't listen to books on tape . . . just can't get into them. [17:13] <HeidiBug> I didn't gain any insight but I just love the sound of the thing when you read them outloud [17:13] <KimmyBlair> I've always listened to the audio books after I read becuase I read fast, and often miss things [17:13] <Whisperwing> Especially in the bathroom [17:13] <fifth_marouder> My mom read the first 2 and most of 3 to me then i heard 4 on tape. [17:13] *** cbm has joined #lounge [17:13] <LilaViseckBrious> yeah, I always thought Seamus was pronounced See-mus [17:14] <KimmyBlair> often i mispronounce things in my head, so the audio version helps me get the pronounciation correct, and therefor learned some new meanings [17:14] <cbm> Hi everyone [17:14] <Whisperwing> For seam! [17:14] <MrMcGonagall> I always hear it being read aloud in my head, anyway. I'm weird that way. [17:14] <RitaSkeeter27> I remember the language being... milder as a six year old... I blame my mom. [17:14] <RitaSkeeter27> :) [17:14] <RitaSkeeter27> hey cbm! [17:15] <LilaViseckBrious> Do you guys like Jim Dale or Stephen Fry? [17:15] <fawkes28> hi cbm! smile [17:15] <Theoriser> What did you like best about Kelly's story about using Book 3 with this small class of teenaged boys? [17:15] <suzb> i now hear Stephen Fry in my head when I read [17:15] <MrMcGonagall> No experience of either, really. [17:15] <HeidiBug> Jim Dale [17:15] <cbm> Stephen Fry! [17:15] <fifth_marouder> I haven't heard stephen fry [17:15] <Whisperwing> Well, being of Celtic heritage, I knew the right way to pronounce Seamus [17:15] <KimmyBlair> I loved how they grew as students [17:15] <suzb> Stephen Fry is really good [17:15] <Whisperwing> I liked the whole competition to read with feeling [17:15] <Theoriser> I'm of Celtic heritage too and I still didn't know biggrin [17:15] <LilaViseckBrious> I like Jim Dale's audio but I think he's only in it for the money and "being a part of history" [17:15] <cbm> I have both on book 1 and like Fry better [17:15] <Whisperwing> I took an Oral Interpretation course in college myself [17:15] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I loved how it really opened them up and changed their lives. [17:15] <fifth_marouder> I'm a celtics fan [17:16] <cbm> I was really impressed with what Kelly did!! [17:16] <fawkes28> I really enjoyed watching them grow throughout the semester [17:16] <Whisperwing> Really? Have you ever eaten haggis then? [17:16] <fifth_marouder> brb [17:16] <Theoriser> I really liked how she managed to trick them into reading it to begin with [17:16] <KimmyBlair> I agree CBM [17:16] <LilaViseckBrious> I like that they wrote more than what was required of them [17:16] *** fyrcat222 has joined #lounge [17:16] <suzb> i loved how much they got into the books [17:16] <fawkes28> hi frycat [17:16] <MrMcGonagall> Hooray for teachers like Kelly! [17:16] <HeidiBug> I loved how the wrote three to four pages instead of their usual few sentences [17:16] <LilaViseckBrious> Hip Hip [17:17] <suzb> Hooray! [17:17] <fawkes28> it really just all feel into place with them - i'll always love the experiences we shared [17:17] <fawkes28> we all just connected and they connected with the book [17:17] <fawkes28> i still think about them often [17:17] <Whisperwing> I always write more than is required of me. [17:17] *** fyrcat222 has quit [Bye] [17:18] <MrMcGonagall> I've always felt I owed a huge debt to my grade school librarian for turning me on to history and classic novels. Changed my whole life. [17:18] <cbm> I could tell you were VERY proud of what you did and u you be! [17:18] <suzb> I wish i had a teacher like you, fawkes, but you would be laughed at for loving HP at my school *sigh* [17:18] <LilaViseckBrious> one of my cynical teachers from HS said he doesn't like teacher based movies because no teacher ever actually touches their students lives [17:18] <LilaViseckBrious> so....psh [17:18] <Whisperwing> Clearly he never will -- or else, it will be the bad touch [17:19] <LilaViseckBrious> lol [17:19] <MrMcGonagall> Lots of people I know are skeptics about the series, but I'm pretty persistent about bugging them to read it. [17:19] <RitaSkeeter27> me too suz [17:19] <HeidiBug> ditto [17:19] <fifth_marouder> I just had a stroke of genius [17:19] <LilaViseckBrious> huh? [17:19] <fawkes28> seriously, i didn't give up on them [17:19] <fawkes28> you just have to keep showing your enthusiam and people will respond smile [17:20] <HeidiBug> I agree, that's how I got my friend into them This post has been edited by fawkes28: Dec 12 2006, 08:49 PM |

[17:20] <Theoriser> The Canon Conundrums was about the Department of Mysteries' Love Room. Does love conquer all? How will Harry use "love" to defeat Voldemort?
[17:20] <MrMcGonagall> The thing I love best is that by turning kids on to reading quality books it opens so many avenues to them in their educcation. [17:20] <Whisperwing> Sounds like the Care Bear Stare down that ole curse link! [17:20] <RitaSkeeter27> I've always thought its would be like a reverse-Pandora's box, sort of thing. [17:20] <fawkes28> it was a great CC! [17:20] <HeidiBug> Love is a big theme of the books, so I believe Voldemort's defeat will have something to do with that, but I don't know how [17:21] <fifth_marouder> someone must create a video of them on jkr website finding a false title and jkr will shut it down by revealing the true title [17:21] <suzb> i loe that idea, rita [17:21] <fawkes28> i think jo uses love as an important theme in her books so it will definitely play a huge role in the final book [17:21] <cbm> I really wis I knew, I just think it will involve love, the scar connection, and mr. blood [17:21] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, cbm. [17:21] <suzb> lol, Mr Blood [17:22] <LilaViseckBrious> what was it that Harry said to Dumbledore? "Yeah, I know. I can love" or something like that. That's how I felt as well [17:22] <HeidiBug> I do love the Care Bear stare theory [17:22] <fifth_marouder> mr blood rocks [17:22] <fifth_marouder> i love his theme song [17:22] <Whisperwing> The talk about that link got me thinking of Midnight RUn, with DeNiro and Charles Grodin, being basically chained together [17:22] <LilaViseckBrious> or Harry making out with Ginny in front of Voldemort [17:22] <MrMcGonagall> Harry has had to learn a lot about what love really means, because he knew so little of it for most of his life. [17:22] <fawkes28> Fifth, Please look up the top of your screen and click on the box that says Fawkes28 on it [17:22] <KimmyBlair> sorry guys have to step away a second... hope to be back soon [17:22] <fifth_marouder> sorry bout that. [17:23] <MrMcGonagall> Bye, Kimmy! [17:23] <RitaSkeeter27> bye kimmy! [17:23] <LilaViseckBrious> bye [17:23] <Whisperwing> Hope so too, Kimmy [17:23] <suzb> bye Kimmy, be back soon [17:24] <MrMcGonagall> It was an interesting CC - a very mysterious subject. [17:24] <fawkes28> i think love will be shown in many ways in the final book [17:24] <Whisperwing> You know all those comedies of guys being handcuffed together and unable to get free? That's what I got an image of the curse being like. So maybe, Harry can get Voldemort into that room, or even just go into the room on his own and channel all that love energy through their unbreakable link [17:25] <MrMcGonagall> I've alwaays been of the opinion that Harry will sacrifice himself in the end to defeat Voldemort. It's the highest and purest form of love. [17:25] <cbm> I think it is something that JKR has not given us enough information to really know the answer to this CC [17:25] <fifth_marouder> I think the love room is sort of a room that is simmiliar to the room of requirement but with some differences [17:25] <Whisperwing> And because Harry's already full of the same energy it won't hurt him [17:25] <Theoriser> Jo said that the veil has been there as long as the Ministry, and that Hogwarts is older than the Ministry but the exact dates are not important. Do you think the Ministry location was chosen because some of the Department of Mysteries rooms were already there? [17:26] <fawkes28> i think it was chosen foremost because of the veil was there [17:26] <Whisperwing> They'd be deep underground, right? [17:26] <suzb> same here, fawkes [17:26] <RitaSkeeter27> No, I think everything was 'captured' and brought there, like a giant museum. [17:26] <cbm> I agree fawkes [17:26] <HeidiBug> I don't know . . . thinking about how the Ministry works hurts my brain. It's hard to figure out. [17:26] <fawkes28> it does make me wonder if any of the other rooms were there - particularly the love room [17:26] <cbm> I have only one problem, how would they have found it in the first place? [17:27] <cbm> if it is that far underground [17:27] <fawkes28> the veil? [17:27] <cbm> yes the veil [17:27] <fifth_marouder> Maybe it's like stone henge [17:27] <HeidiBug> I got to go. I'll come back if there's more time. [17:27] <suzb> because long aago it would have been above ground [17:27] <Whisperwing> Maybe it was scryed for, dug down to, and then the room constructed around it? [17:27] *** HeidiBug has quit [Bye] [17:27] <fawkes28> bye heidi [17:27] <MrMcGonagall> for some reason, I think the veil is in fact a sort of magical creation; it just pre-dates the Ministry itself. [17:27] <cbm> that makes sense [17:27] <fifth_marouder> it has many strange qualities and wierd things happen around it but the mom isn't sure how. [17:28] <fawkes28> it seems like the veil is from ancient times even [17:28] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, fawkes. [17:28] <cbm> Or it is a cavern that the ministry built into. I had never really thought about it before now [17:28] <fawkes28> it is so mysterious and intriguing to me [17:28] <MrMcGonagall> We don't know exactly where the Ministry is located in London, do we? [17:28] <Whisperwing> Right, because there had to be a readon the building was dug down into the ground so long ago [17:28] *** LilaViseckBrious has quit [Bye] [17:28] <fawkes28> i cavern is interesting, cbm [17:28] <Whisperwing> Ya huh, under a phone booth [17:28] <fawkes28> *a [17:29] <suzb> i think the viel is actually one of the scarier things in the book [17:29] <cbm> I used to be a caver smile [17:29] <Whisperwing> Spelunking? [17:29] <cbm> yes [17:29] <fawkes28> it is something that is scary, suzb [17:29] <Theoriser> Jo had no comment about whether they'd go back to the Love Room. Do you think Harry will return there, and if so, how early in Book 7? [17:29] <KimmyBlair> yes! [17:29] <fawkes28> oh, yes! [17:29] <KimmyBlair> a no comment from Jo usually means yes [17:29] <cbm> Yes, I think that no comment means yes [17:29] <Whisperwing> No sooner than midway, nearer the end [17:29] <fawkes28> wb, kimmy [17:29] <MrMcGonagall> I think toward the end. Welcome back, Kimmy! [17:29] <KimmyBlair> back! [17:30] <Whisperwing> Yay! [17:30] <KimmyBlair> sory just had to fix a smalll glitch [17:30] <fifth_marouder> What she doesn't tell us is more important than what she does. [17:30] <suzb> no comment = yes [17:30] <fawkes28> definitely - we know when she says no comment it means we are going to learn morw about it [17:30] <Whisperwing> Like what side is Snape really on [17:30] <fawkes28> so no comment is a great answer [17:30] <MrMcGonagall> I wonder what LV would do with the Love Room if he takes over the Ministry. [17:30] <Whisperwing> Fill it with concrete [17:30] <fawkes28> she knows how to give us just enough information to keep our minds thinking [17:31] <fifth_marouder> she likes theories [17:31] <fawkes28> i don't think he would be able to get rid of it, mr. m [17:31] <RitaSkeeter27> lol WW [17:31] <cbm> Or just seal it if none of the DEs can enter, but I like the concrete idea [17:31] <fawkes28> i think it is something that is beyong his power - it doesn't seem like it could be removed by force [17:31] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I don't think it's possible to force one's way in. [17:31] <Whisperwing> The Winchesters couldn't get rid of the serieal killer ghost, but they cemented up his lair, and Voldemort could be a Supernatural fan.... [17:32] <suzb> i agree, fawkes [17:32] <fawkes28> i do wonder like someone on PC said if there is a "master" key to open it [17:32] <MrMcGonagall> I almost think he's be afraid to try and open it. [17:32] <MrMcGonagall> The Ministry janitor has the key. [17:32] <suzb> lucius the janitor! [17:32] <Theoriser> Who has the key to the Love Room? Will Harry find a key or clue to getting into that room in his inheritance - from Petunia, or maybe at Godric's Hollow? Was one or both of Harry's parents Unspeakables? [17:32] <fawkes28> aha! thanks mr. m! you just cracked the case open smile [17:33] <Whisperwing> I know who's got the key! [17:33] <cbm> I think Voldemort would open it, he thinks he is invincible, so he would see no reason not to [17:33] <Whisperwing> The B-52's! [17:33] <KimmyBlair> I think it's somthing as simple as how they got the round room of doors to open [17:33] <KimmyBlair> you have to think the right thing, or ask the right thing [17:33] <KimmyBlair> or feel the right thing [17:33] <fifth_marouder> I don't think it is a key persay but rather only certain people are allowed in, the room itself recognizing the people [17:34] <suzb> Yes, I think key is the wrong word [17:34] <KimmyBlair> I don't beleive physical keys meen much in the wizarding world (as we see the most secure vaults in Gringots do not have them) [17:34] <MrMcGonagall> Interesting that DD described it as a dangerous power. [17:34] <fawkes28> that is a good point, fifth - it is very possible [17:34] <cbm> Maybe it is like the mirror of erised when Harry got the stone, the door will only open for the right reasons. [17:34] <fawkes28> i could see lily as an unspeakable [17:34] <KimmyBlair> I think anything is dangerous if you don't use it right [17:34] <fifth_marouder> or maybe you just have to speak friend and enter [17:35] <suzb> i don't think either James or Lilly were unspeakables [17:35] <Whisperwing> oh wow, Melissa's report on Sunday's Yule Ball is up -- sweet! [17:35] <MrMcGonagall> I agree suz. [17:35] <fifth_marouder> oh yeah [17:35] <cbm> We know so little about this room, I am very perplexed. [17:35] <fawkes28> why, suzb? [17:35] <fifth_marouder> can we have a chat about the yule ball [17:36] <fifth_marouder> i was there and it was awesome [17:36] <cbm> Where is her report for after the chat? [17:36] <fifth_marouder> without a doubt best time of my life [17:36] <MrMcGonagall> I just don't see either Lily or James working for the Ministry. [17:36] <fawkes28> if they chat about it in next week's PotterCast wink [17:36] <suzb> i just do't see it, I don't think it fits into the story [17:36] <Theoriser> Is there something magical about the Love Room itself? Did Harry's pocketknife melt because of the power of the room or was that merely the security system? Is the room simply holding all information known about love "as magic," or is the room holding a special tangible form of love? [17:36] <KimmyBlair> I believe it was the security system [17:36] <cbm> I have NO idea [17:36] <KimmyBlair> (that made his knife melt [17:37] <RitaSkeeter27> i was there too fifth! [17:37] <fifth_marouder> security system [17:37] <MrMcGonagall> I think the security system is tied to the power within. Love cannot be forced. [17:37] <Whisperwing> Love is a living thing, you know [17:37] <RitaSkeeter27> I agree Mr M [17:37] <Whisperwing> And a terrible thing to lose [17:37] <fawkes28> i agree with what john had said about there being this power that the room just gives off [17:37] <suzb> I agree 100% Mr.M [17:37] <fifth_marouder> my theory about the key entering means you must stick your finger in and it will tell [17:37] <cbm> I like that MrM, love can not be forces [17:37] <KimmyBlair> ohhhhhh good one MrM [17:37] <fawkes28> that is an interesting point, ww about love being a living thing [17:38] <fawkes28> Mr. M, do you think perhaps only the pure of heart can enter? [17:38] <MrMcGonagall> Well, at least only the pure of heart should enter, which is probably why the room is well-protected. [17:38] <Whisperwing> Would that mean the Unspeakables all have to be pure of heart? [17:38] <Theoriser> ooh, nice idea [17:39] <fawkes28> i wonder if they do [17:39] <RitaSkeeter27> I like that WW. [17:39] <cbm> Is Harry pure of heart at this point? e has great hatred for Snape for one [17:39] <MrMcGonagall> I wouldn't think all the Unspeakables . . . only the ones who can have access to that room, perhaps. [17:39] <cbm> He [17:39] <fawkes28> i think he is as close to pure of heart as he can be [17:39] <fawkes28> but i do think he needs to forgive snape in order to be truly pure of heart [17:39] <MrMcGonagall> Phoenix song could open the door! [17:39] <suzb> yes he is, his hatred comes from love [17:39] <KimmyBlair> ohhh good point fakwkes [17:39] <fawkes28> ohhh, nice one mr. m [17:39] <fawkes28> i never thought about that [17:40] <fifth_marouder> but isn't fawkes gone forever or something [17:40] <suzb> only from the school, ffth [17:40] <MrMcGonagall> I don't really think Harry will need a phoenix to open the door, but I do think it's linked somehow to purity of heart. [17:40] <Whisperwing> But phoenix song also comes from harry's wand, doesn't it? [17:40] <fawkes28> no, i think fawkes will be back in some way - remember harry and LV still have Fawkes' feather [17:40] <cbm> I can see no circumstances where he could forgive Snape, JKR said his feeling for severussnape were I think the words were "more personal" than for Voldemort [17:40] <fawkes28> LV would never be able to open that door [17:41] <MrMcGonagall> Maybe this is where the wand cores could come in again. [17:41] <Whisperwing> I am pretty sure when their wands were locked, there was phoenix song in the air [17:41] *** HeidiBug has joined #lounge [17:41] <RitaSkeeter27> Welcom back Heidi! [17:41] <Whisperwing> wb Heidi [17:41] <fifth_marouder> mm i thought of that to [17:41] <fawkes28> they are more personal, cbm, which makes it harder to forgive [17:41] <Theoriser> When asked about the Death Room, Jo said that it wasn't for executions and that the Dept of Mysteries is for studying only. Will Harry study in the Love Room or will he need to train there? While in that room will Harry learn how to harness Love's power? Is there a love weapon or spell? [17:41] <HeidiBug> I'm back! [17:41] <fawkes28> but i think harry will be able to "rise above it" [17:41] <fawkes28> wb, heidi [17:42] <suzb> thats my point cbm, Harry is pure of heart, he only has hatred towards Snape becuase he has love for his parents [17:42] <fawkes28> it seems like an oxymoron to say that love is a weapon, doesn't it? [17:42] <RitaSkeeter27> i think the love room will be life-changing. like he goes in as one person and out as anoter [17:42] <RitaSkeeter27> lol fawkes [17:42] <MrMcGonagall> It might be interesting to see how love and choice come together. [17:43] <fawkes28> yes, it will mr. m [17:43] <Whisperwing> It has been a battlefield though [17:43] <cbm> Maybe instead of a weapon, it is more like a poison to Voldemort [17:44] <suzb> love a spell, it doesn't seem right, loveious Voldemort! [17:44] <KimmyBlair> as much as I though John's CC conclusion was ridiculous (with the inclusion of dawlish) [17:44] <KimmyBlair> the though about training i thought was pretty spot on [17:44] *** Whisperwing has quit [Bye] [17:44] <fifth_marouder> bye ww [17:44] <MrMcGonagall> I think it may be something that Harry will learn about love in the room, more so than a weapon. Love isn't a weapon, but it's deadly to someone as wicked as LV. [17:44] <fawkes28> yes, it is interesting to think that he could train in that room [17:44] <KimmyBlair> harry needed to learn about Riddle last time, perhaps this is what he needs to learn about this go round [17:45] <suzb> i don't think he will train in there [17:45] <fifth_marouder> I just got an idea [17:45] <MrMcGonagall> Really, the whole series is Harry learning about the true meaning and power of love. [17:45] <suzb> it seems too same-y [17:45] *** Whisperwing has joined #lounge [17:45] <fawkes28> wb, ww [17:45] <Whisperwing> wow, not much time left, is there? [17:45] <RitaSkeeter27> me too suz [17:45] <fawkes28> not too much [17:46] <Theoriser> In Book 5, Albus Dumbledore keeps describing what Harry has as a "power" and that the power saved Harry on more than one occasion. In Book 7 do you think Harry will learn to surround himself with that power as a form of protection? Will Harry's love power be helped by having those he loves, like his friends, around himself in Book 7? [17:46] *** Madsdagirl has joined #lounge [17:46] <fawkes28> hi mads! [17:46] <Madsdagirl> hello [17:46] <HeidiBug> That would be pretty cool if Harry could generate like a force field of love or something [17:46] <RitaSkeeter27> hey mads! [17:47] <fawkes28> it would be neat if he could do that, heidi [17:47] <suzb> cheesey as it sounds I can see Harry builting up a kind of love force field [17:47] <cbm> I think that it will happen, but I doubt it will be a conscious decision, I think it will happen through his actions [17:47] <HeidiBug> yeah, it is cheesy [17:47] <fawkes28> right, cbm [17:47] <fawkes28> harry just thinks on his feet and goes with his gut [17:47] <MrMcGonagall> In the context of Book 7, I don't think love is going to be as much about protection as it will be about risk. [17:47] <suzb> lol I didn't read hat before I wrote heidi [17:47] <MrMcGonagall> People who love do risky things. [17:47] <fawkes28> 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. [17:47] <Whisperwing> As longas it's not pink and fluffy like a ball of cotton candy, I can live with the love force field [17:48] <Madsdagirl> lol [17:48] <suzb> i don't think it will be a visable thing [17:48] <MrMcGonagall> If anything, love makes us more vulnerable. [17:48] <fawkes28> i think harry will either create or receive some kind of protection based around love [17:48] <RitaSkeeter27> i have this fear of book 7 being cheesy and/or sappy [17:48] <suzb> but it can make us stronger MrM [17:48] <fawkes28> and LV never wants to be vulnerable [17:48] <RitaSkeeter27> i dont think jo would do that to us though [17:49] <Madsdagirl> I trust Jo not to make it sappy [17:49] <fawkes28> i don't think she would - i trust her [17:49] <MrMcGonagall> Oh, I don't think it will be, Rita. I think it's going to be pretty hard-core serious. [17:49] <Theoriser> In Book 5, Harry was able to sense Voldermort's mood. In Book 7, will Harry be able to use the scar link to project powerful feelings of love at Voldemort and will it destroy Voldemort? To do so, will Harry actually have to have love or compassion for Voldemort? [17:49] <suzb> she wouldn't, rita. [17:49] <fawkes28> i think harry will use his connection voldemort to his advantage [17:49] <RitaSkeeter27> i know. a reasonless fear [17:49] <HeidiBug> I think Harry should be able to project feelings to Voldemort just as Voldemort has done to him. I believe it has to work both ways. Harry just has to figure out how to do it. [17:50] <cbm> I think it will happen when they are togother, as either must die at the hand of the other, or some such nonsense [17:50] <fawkes28> i think it is more likely that harry will just have to have acceptable for voldemort [17:50] <fawkes28> and all of the horrible things he has done [17:50] <HeidiBug> or Harry will just have to give Voldy a hug [17:50] <suzb> lol Heidi [17:50] <MrMcGonagall> Something like that. I think Harry does need to feel pity for Voldemort. I think it's part of the reason in HBP that DD wanted Harry to see so much of Riddle's past. [17:51] <fawkes28> good point, mr. m [17:51] <cbm> That should be in a blooper reel for the last film, Harry hugging Voldemort [17:51] <fawkes28> lol [17:51] <RitaSkeeter27> lol cbm [17:51] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's also the reason DD always called LV "Tom" to his face. [17:51] <suzb> i think Harry does pity the boy tom riddl, but not voldie [17:51] <fifth_marouder> jo could just release a book full of bloopers [17:52] <Whisperwing> Oi, I can't remember which PC had the filk from Guru based on Love Shack, and it's been stuck in my head all chat long! [17:52] <MrMcGonagall> Harry was quick to deny that he pitied Riddle, but I think DD wanted him to. [17:52] <Theoriser> me too Mr M [17:52] <HeidiBug> I that was really supisious when DD asked him that [17:52] <HeidiBug> I can't type, sorry [17:52] <suzb> I think Harry did feel pity, but stopped himself [17:52] <RitaSkeeter27> 60, i think WW [17:53] <MrMcGonagall> I have always found LV very pitiable. Evil in the world always makes me feel pity for the person so corrupted. [17:53] <Whisperwing> wee, thanks [17:53] <Whisperwing> Oh, the Cursed one [17:53] *** leakylurker has joined #lounge [17:53] <fawkes28> i think by the end of the book - perhaps at the final moments he will be able to pity him [17:54] <HeidiBug> "Every problem we have in this world is become some child went unloved" [17:54] <fawkes28> hello leakylurker [17:54] <Theoriser> Peter Pettigrew will be the topic for next week. Do you plan to send in a voice mail? [17:54] <leakylurker> hi all, just lurking [17:54] <suzb> I think we can pity Voldie to a point and past that it is his chossing, not to be pityed [17:54] <Whisperwing> Ooh, I should.... [17:54] <KimmyBlair> no.... you guys hear to much of my voice already! [17:54] <fifth_marouder> not really [17:54] <cbm> Maybe [17:54] <MrMcGonagall> No, people always submit such good questions anyway. [17:54] <KimmyBlair> you guys should!!!! [17:54] <KimmyBlair> really! [17:54] <fawkes28> aww kimmy we can always hear more! [17:54] <cbm> If I rememember, and kimmie you voice is fine! [17:54] <KimmyBlair> haha [17:55] <fifth_marouder> can i post a last idea about the love room/veil [17:55] <Whisperwing> I just need to think of something to say..... [17:55] <Madsdagirl> Kimmy I fangirl you [17:55] <fawkes28> i think peter pettigrew is a great CcC [17:55] <KimmyBlair> awww! [17:55] <HeidiBug> What's a CcC? [17:55] <KimmyBlair> I fangirl you too Mads!!!! [17:55] <fawkes28> go ahead, fifth [17:55] <fifth_marouder> I think maybe the love room could contain information on everyone anyones ever loved and harry could use this to make contact through the veil with some one tom riddle loved, after all he can't have been totally like this all his life and somehow that person will help harry [17:55] <fifth_marouder> maybe a bit out there [17:56] <MrMcGonagall> I've been too busy with holiday filks lately to think up a good Pettigrew question. [17:56] <Theoriser> Now for the wrap-up. Do you have a Cauldron Shop wish list? If you made a list, what would be on it? [17:56] <fawkes28> that would be nice, fifth [17:56] <suzb> I think Voldie craves love [17:56] <KimmyBlair> I have one!!! [17:56] <Whisperwing> I sent one in, and I know it got through, I got a response on it [17:56] <Whisperwing> filk I mean [17:56] <KimmyBlair> feel free to buy me stuff! [17:56] <fifth_marouder> life size dobby [17:56] <cbm> The only thing I own that has to do with HP is the books [17:56] <KimmyBlair> Hermione wand... [17:56] <fawkes28> ah, some many things i would put on my list [17:56] <KimmyBlair> or a timeturner [17:56] <RitaSkeeter27> i want the Remus Lupins CD [17:57] <HeidiBug> Harry Potter Candy [17:57] <Whisperwing> If I made a wish list, you KNOW I want the Lucius snake cane [17:57] <Whisperwing> I have the Remus Lupins CD [17:57] <MrMcGonagall> Honestly, I can't say that I really get into a lot of memorabilia, etc. I have too much stuff as it is. [17:57] <fawkes28> kimmy, you have been doing a lot of thinking about this wink [17:57] <KimmyBlair> haha well i have a list! [17:57] <Whisperwing> And I sent Alex art with my money order [17:57] <MrMcGonagall> The time-turner and the wands are cool. [17:57] <fawkes28> i hope you get some things on your list [17:57] <fawkes28> maybe i should make one [17:57] <fifth_marouder> the most expensive thing(+reciept) [17:57] <fifth_marouder> J/K [17:58] <HeidiBug> I want a wand, but mom says I don't need one. So I'll have to buy my own. [17:58] <KimmyBlair> i have one! [17:58] <MrMcGonagall> If people don't get Kimmy the things on the list, they'll be on her bad side. And we all know that's a bad thing! biggrin [17:58] <fawkes28> it is nice to spend money on yourself around the holidays [17:58] <KimmyBlair> hahahahah! [17:58] <suzb> I want the American edition of the books, but the P and P is too much [17:58] <Whisperwing> I actually use a cane irl, but I don't think Lucius's is going to be usable.... [17:58] <KimmyBlair> go get me stuff! [17:58] <cbm> the dobby doll could be used in my xmas decorations in place of a snowman, that would work [17:58] <HeidiBug> lol [17:58] <Theoriser> Sue asked about figgy pudding. Have you ever had it before? [17:58] <fawkes28> hehe you forgot please [17:58] <Whisperwing> Didn't they say the life size Dobby is gone? [17:58] <Whisperwing> Nope [17:59] <HeidiBug> nopw [17:59] <Madsdagirl> I love Figgy pudding! [17:59] <MrMcGonagall> I'm rather glad John doesn't have access to any more life-size Dobbys. [17:59] <cbm> no [17:59] <fawkes28> no figgy pudding [17:59] <KimmyBlair> no! [17:59] <HeidiBug> I'd love to try it [17:59] <Whisperwing> And when wikipedia called them figgys they were being cute, it's just figs [17:59] <fawkes28> what does it taste like mads? [17:59] <MrMcGonagall> I think I did have it once. It's OK. [17:59] <Whisperwing> Liek a Fig Newton? [17:59] <Madsdagirl> it tastes like figs [17:59] <fifth_marouder> like mrs fig [17:59] <Whisperwing> If it tastes like Fig Newtons, I'd like it [17:59] <KimmyBlair> i just hope John keeps his pants on! [17:59] <Madsdagirl> they are fruit and it's pretty nice [17:59] <HeidiBug> what do figs taste like? [17:59] <MrMcGonagall> Does it smell like cats, too? [17:59] <Whisperwing> That was John's joke, only it was a bit funnier his way [17:59] <cbm> I like fig newtons [17:59] <Madsdagirl> they are quite sweet [17:59] <Madsdagirl> and little and greeny brown [18:00] <leakylurker> DId John get that pants joke from the Official Lost podcast? [18:00] <HeidiBug> then, I'd probably like the pudding [18:00] <Whisperwing> Heidi, figs are in a Fig Newton, have you never had a Fig Newton? [18:00] <Whisperwing> The Pants joke is way older than that [18:00] <fifth_marouder> well it'll be about time to go soon [18:00] <MrMcGonagall> It's not my favorite dessert. Plum puddings are much better. [18:00] <HeidiBug> oh, fig newtons, okay yeah [18:00] <suzb> pants means smething different oer here, for a split second i had a rather disturbed thought [18:00] <HeidiBug> sorry, blonde moment [18:00] <fifth_marouder> Apple Pie is best [18:01] <KimmyBlair> Choclate is best!
