[21:17] <fawkes28> Welcome to this moderator-led discussion about PotterCast #69 and the second Special Filkcast. We'll start out with the call-in show where the PotterCasters talked to fans about what the title of Book 7 may mean. [21:17] *** artlady has joined #lounge [21:17] <fawkes28> How surprised were you to hear that Evanna Lynch, who plays Luna in the movies, was one of those that left the PotterCasters her info so they could call her?

[21:17] <MrMcGonagall> From what I know of Evanna, it didn't surprise me at all. What a great fan! [21:18] <Theoriser> I couldn't believe they called her [21:18] <SoonerGryffindor> hi artlady [21:18] <harryfreak359> Hi Artlady!

[21:20] <artlady> what a great experience for her [21:20] <harryfreak359> I know, me too fawkes [21:20] <blathnat> I cant wate for the movie [21:21] <suzb> me niether [21:21] <artlady> on my birthday--teehee [21:21] <JaneMarple9> i can't wait for the book more! [21:21] <suzb> i wanna go to the premier [21:21] <harryfreak359> Lucky Artlady! [21:21] <futureweasley> I am also very excited for OotP the movie [21:21] <artlady> isn't it cool? [21:21] <MrMcGonagall> I think I'm more excited about this movie than I have been for any of the others. [21:21] <blathnat> Same here suzb [21:21] <futureweasley> me too MrMcG [21:21] <Aislinn> me too, Mr M [21:21] <fawkes28> Book 6's release date was announced on the Winter Solstice of 2004 with the book coming out on the Summer Solstice of 2005. Evanna was expecting the Book 7 title to be announced on the day that it was (Dec 21st) due to it being the Winter Solstice. Like Evanna, were you expecting something, or did it come as a shock? [21:21] <SoonerGryffindor> me too [21:21] <harryfreak359> Me too Mr.M [21:21] <Aislinn> I just hope it lives up to the expectations [21:21] <suzb> same, mr mg [21:22] <JaneMarple9> the movie looks as f ir is really going to stick to the book [21:22] <JaneMarple9> I wasn't surprised [21:22] <blathnat> i was expecting it on christmas [21:22] <harryfreak359> Yes, I hope so as well, Aislinn, I don't think I could bear it if it didn't [21:22] <Theoriser> I never thought of that [21:22] <JaneMarple9> as I was hoping they would [21:22] <SoonerGryffindor> it came as a shock, yet really it shouldnt have [21:22] <Aislinn> I had heard a lot of rumors that the title would be released by Christmas [21:22] <Theoriser> I wasn't thinking we'd get a title for a very long time [21:22] <MrMcGonagall> It didn't surprise me at all, although I had forgotten about the solstice being on the 21st. [21:22] <Aislinn> but they were just rumors [21:22] <suzb> i was execing it but was still scocked because its like teh start of the end [21:22] <artlady> I was just hoping for a Jo xmas present [21:22] <artlady> and she delivered [21:23] <Theoriser> I thought it was a really clever idea of hers [21:23] <JaneMarple9> I was pretty sure whe would give us something [21:23] <fawkes28> it would be a nice christmas present [21:23] <JaneMarple9> but WHAT a something!!!!!!!!! [21:23] <MrMcGonagall> The fact that the diary was updates just a couple days previously kind of threw me off. [21:23] <suzb> me to [21:23] <blathnat> Jo is so devious [21:23] <harryfreak359> It came out as a shock in a way, because I was just so out of it that week, I just wasn't around in the HP world that much, so when I checked the Great Hall like I do every morning I was pretty much in shock, yet I was kind of expecting it at the same time...So I guess it is kind of a half-half thing for me [21:23] <Aislinn> yes, it made me feel like we weren't going to see anything for weeks [21:23] <MrMcGonagall> Maybe she's trying to ease us into our usual frenzied state. :) [21:24] <Aislinn> lol [21:24] <harryfreak359> lol [21:24] <artlady> we are totally whipped! [21:24] <suzb> lol [21:24] <blathnat> Lol [21:24] <fawkes28> she always catches us off guard [21:24] <fawkes28> it keeps us on our toes [21:24] <JaneMarple9> she does [21:24] <harryfreak359> Yes, and I love it, Fawkes [21:24] <blathnat> That Jo for you [21:24] <harryfreak359> it keeps us wondering [21:24] <fawkes28> me too :) [21:24] <blathnat> Thats** [21:25] <fawkes28> Jo gave us the title of Book 4 very late before the book was released, however she gave us the Book 5 title about three years before it was released. Were you surprised that Jo gave us the book 7 title even though she isn't done writing the book yet? [21:25] <JaneMarple9> I think she'll really surprise us and tell us the book has already gone to the publishers [21:25] <JaneMarple9> and it is being released next month :D [21:25] <Theoriser> do we know how far she is with the book? [21:25] <artlady> yeah, I think she's really close [21:25] <blathnat> Well Micah did as for it [21:26] <artlady> or I just want her to be close! [21:26] <harryfreak359> No I am not at all surprised about her telling us at this time...and I do think that she is really close to it too...I am hoping [21:26] <suzb> lol, blathnat [21:26] <futureweasley> we don't talk about MuggleCast here! That will be one demerit point for you [21:26] <futureweasley> lol [21:26] <JaneMarple9> i think she is close [21:26] <MrMcGonagall> It's one of the things that makes me suspect she's almost done writing. She's obviously close enough that she's comfortable settling definitively on a title. [21:26] <fawkes28> i think she wanted to wait until she was positive that she wanted that as the title [21:26] <SoonerGryffindor> I think that it relates to the busted prophecies in book 5 and this was the most convenient solstice [21:26] <fawkes28> yes, mr., which makes me even more excited [21:26] <harryfreak359> I agree Mr.M and Fawkes [21:27] <JaneMarple9> i wondered that too sooner [21:27] <Theoriser> She must be close, because she's said before that she's only comfortable giving out the title when she's done with the book [21:27] <artlady> HP and the Busted Prophecies...I like it sooner [21:27] <SoonerGryffindor> I think that means that she is within 6 months of having it written, but that its not finished yet [21:28] <MrMcGonagall> I don't really know that it has anything to do with Book 5 . . . I think the solstices are just important in the magical world, which makes it a nice release date for information. [21:28] <SoonerGryffindor> its cool either way [21:28] <Theoriser> it's one of those titles, like the order of the phoenix, that she can tell us without us being able to guess exactly what it's about [21:28] <fawkes28> she is very mysterious [21:29] <artlady> the little dickens [21:29] <fawkes28> Evanna found out the news of the book title while at school. Where were you when you found out? [21:29] <SoonerGryffindor> I was right here [21:29] <suzb> home [21:29] *** theLioness has quit [Bye] [21:29] <artlady> this chair!! [21:29] <Theoriser> I was just sat at the computer at home [21:29] <Aislinn> At work, and it ended up making the rest of the day completely wasted, from a work perspective :lol: [21:29] <SoonerGryffindor> I am sitting in the very chair that future took a pic of me in earlier today [21:29] <fawkes28> i was on my break at work and forced the title out of futureweasley when my computer froze :lol: [21:29] <futureweasley> I found out literally 5 minutes after Sue posted it on the News site [21:29] <MrMcGonagall> Sitting on the sofa in the living room checking my reading group posts. [21:29] <fawkes28> very true, aislinn [21:30] <Theoriser> my dad heard it on the radio though, and he came home saying "I know something you don't know", until we told him that we did [21:30] <futureweasley> it was really random, actually [21:30] <blathnat> College when i heard that the door opend then i rushed home to find out the title [21:30] <suzb> blathnat had to tell me, i was busy and forgot my routine check of leaky [21:30] <fawkes28> i was a bit giddy that day :lol: [21:30] *** theLioness has joined #lounge [21:30] <JaneMarple9> in the leaky lounge [21:30] <JaneMarple9> future told me! :) in the great hall [21:30] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, future, I think I did actually check the Leaky news site first, and nearly spit my coffee everywhere. [21:30] <harryfreak359> I had just got out of the shower and was about to go eat breakfast when I checked the Great Hall and saw a bunch of pages that was posted, and I kind of wondered why there were so many, then I saw people talking about the title! [21:30] <JaneMarple9> I was very excited [21:30] <futureweasley> lol, I told everyone in the Great Hall BEFORE I checked JKR's site! [21:31] <futureweasley> I say that's primo dedication [21:31] <blathnat> lol [21:31] <fawkes28> it was a very exciting and unexpected day [21:31] <SoonerGryffindor> I was just doing some stuff around the house and noticed that the mod skypes were pingin like crazy, so I looked to see what had everyone typing so fast [21:31] * MrMcGonagall thinks future is a great mod. [21:31] <artlady> that may have been how I found out, future! [21:31] <futureweasley> lol, thanks [21:31] <fawkes28> awww [21:31] * JaneMarple9 totally agrees! [21:31] * futureweasley pinches MrMcG's cheek [21:31] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [21:31] <JaneMarple9> plans to make Future and all the rest her role models [21:31] <JaneMarple9> follows their lead! [21:31] <fawkes28> Some friends of Evanna's helped her put up signs at school announcing the title of the new Harry Potter book. Who did you tell about the title? Were you excited enough that you told everyone you could think of? [21:32] <harryfreak359> I kind of let out a strangled screech when I saw it, and started jumping around everywhere. And I immediately let everyone of my friends know [21:32] <blathnat> soo out numberd by mods here [21:32] <futureweasley> If Evanna had spoiled it for me, I would have put her in a headlock [21:32] <artlady> heehee blathnat [21:32] <fawkes28> lol [21:32] <SoonerGryffindor> I called both my mom and my sister, neither of whom were as excited as I was [21:32] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [21:32] <JaneMarple9> I only know one massive harry potter fan, who i regularlly email [21:32] <suzb> i told my sister and she threatned to tell me before i got past the door as she cheated, i had to scream to stop her [21:32] <artlady> I told my family--big mistake [21:32] <harryfreak359> Well, I had to first post the news on my sites and every other site that I belong to. :) then I told my mom who just rolled her eyes and then tried to call all of my friends. [21:33] <Aislinn> I skyped everyone I could think of :D [21:33] <blathnat> I told every one i know but non cared [21:33] <JaneMarple9> so i sent her a very excited one, as she doesn't use leaky [21:33] <fawkes28> i told all of my students as i was as giddy as could be [21:33] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I focused on people I know who are fans but don't regularly check fan sites. I didn't want them to get left behind in the frenzy. [21:33] <fawkes28> i chatted everyone's ear off that day [21:33] <SoonerGryffindor> I think I also screamed though the house and woke my son up [21:33] <Theoriser> LOL [21:33] <JaneMarple9> awww fawkes I can just imagine you in school! [21:33] <JaneMarple9> telling all the pupils [21:33] <harryfreak359> I did that, Sooner, I definitely screamed [21:33] <futureweasley> I called my mom, who said, "cool" in the most unconvincing tone ever [21:34] <harryfreak359> LOL [21:34] <Aislinn> lol [21:34] <JaneMarple9> i didn't scream but >>>>> :excited: [21:34] <fawkes28> it was when the kids were hyper for christmas and that day i was about 10 times more hyper than them - siriusly :lol: [21:34] <artlady> I must say, I rocked at Hangman--and then did a happy dance [21:34] <futureweasley> I think I also "squeed" [21:34] * futureweasley does NOT squee [21:34] <fawkes28> i squeed too [21:34] <harryfreak359> My mom just rolled her eyes and said "oh, nice" in a tone that clearly said "What planet is she from?" [21:34] <blathnat> i screamed [21:34] <suzb> i squeeed internally [21:34] <JaneMarple9> I just had a massive smile on my face all day [21:35] <fawkes28> Evanna plays a Ravenclaw, but thinks of herself as a Gryffindor. Sue is a Hufflepuff, and John thought he was a Slytherin, but Evanna talked him out of it. What house do you think John is? [21:35] <JaneMarple9> don't think it's gone yet! [21:35] <artlady> I wish fawkes had wooted [21:35] <harryfreak359> I did too Jane, I was actually skipping around the house [21:35] <futureweasley> she did, artlady...don't worry [21:35] <SoonerGryffindor> not sure, but I think it was hilarious that she did that [21:35] <harryfreak359> Hehehe, well.... [21:35] <blathnat> Slitherin [21:35] <artlady> heheeheee [21:35] <Theoriser> I told my mum and my sister when we were eating tea, and then I showed my sister the hangman on Jo's site, so she could find it out herself [21:35] <suzb> johns a ravenclaw [21:35] <fawkes28> LOL - i did shhhhh [21:35] <JaneMarple9> I'd say a hufflepuff [21:35] <harryfreak359> I love that she did that [21:35] <blathnat> slytherin** [21:35] <Theoriser> John isn't a Slytherin [21:35] <futureweasley> I'm thinking that John is a Gryfftherin [21:35] <SoonerGryffindor> I think that John is a mixture like most of us [21:35] <Theoriser> maybe a gryffindor? [21:35] <JaneMarple9> but don't listen to PotterCast often so don't know much :) [21:36] <harryfreak359> Slytherindor I think [21:36] <fawkes28> very astute observation, sooner [21:36] <MrMcGonagall> He seems too good natured and comical to be a Slytherin, really. [21:36] <harryfreak359> I agree Mr.M [21:36] <futureweasley> John's in the fifth house... [21:36] <blathnat> John's in the house dawlish is in [21:36] <artlady> aww, some Slytherins are a hoot! [21:36] <fawkes28> lol [21:36] <harryfreak359> lol [21:37] <MrMcGonagall> I think he has an inner badger. [21:37] *** stinkywinky has joined #lounge [21:37] <SoonerGryffindor> welcome stinky [21:37] <fawkes28> hi stinkwinky [21:37] <stinkywinky> hi! [21:37] <harryfreak359> Hi Stinkywinky [21:37] <suzb> hi! [21:37] <futureweasley> the ones with kids that even Helga Hufflepuff didn't know what to do with [21:37] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL [21:37] <harryfreak359> I'd probably be with those kids :D [21:37] <MrMcGonagall> What the nuns in Catholic grade school used to call "the incorrigibles." [21:37] <futureweasley> lol, me too harryfreak [21:37] <fawkes28> so basically he could belong in many houses then? a combination if you will? [21:38] <SoonerGryffindor> :lol: [21:38] <harryfreak359> I think I have a big trait from each house [21:38] * SoonerGryffindor likes Mr M's idea [21:38] <suzb> i think we all belong in the griffllyrpuffdor house [21:38] <futureweasley> I don't think I am particularly "brainy"...or at least, I don't want to admit I have a brain most times...I think John is like that a little, too [21:38] <JaneMarple9> I am hoping if I was in Hogwarts I would be Gryffindor [21:38] <suzb> everyone is a mixture [21:38] <blathnat> lol suzb [21:39] <fawkes28> Poor Sue's Internet service was down on December 21st. Luckily she was able to borrow a neighbor's "Blackberry" to post the news of the book title up on Leaky. How dedicated is she to be running down the street in her pajamas to get the news to us? [21:39] <JaneMarple9> everybody has a mixture i think yes [21:39] <blathnat> Very [21:39] <SoonerGryffindor> I just love that mental image [21:39] <harryfreak359> She is so awesome for doing that! [21:39] <suzb> awww sue she is so good to us all [21:39] <JaneMarple9> very dedicated [21:39] <artlady> ack! good going Sue [21:39] <SoonerGryffindor> that is true dedication [21:39] <MrMcGonagall> She is at least as dedicated as fw, if not more so. [21:39] <harryfreak359> I would have soooo done that if my internet was down! [21:40] <artlady> dang--wish someone had had a camera [21:40] <fawkes28> siriusly, i would have down the same thing [21:40] <fawkes28> awwww mr. m [21:40] <futureweasley> awww, tear [21:40] <Theoriser> lol, I think I would have done the same thing too [21:40] <MrMcGonagall> And let's point out that Sue lives in Detroit. She must have been freeeeeezing. [21:40] <SoonerGryffindor> luckily she was wearing pajamas :lol: [21:40] <artlady> heeheeee [21:40] <futureweasley> naughty [21:40] <harryfreak359> lol [21:40] <blathnat> lol [21:40] <suzb> lol [21:40] <Aislinn> LOL Mr M [21:40] <artlady> bunny slippers? [21:40] <suzb> badger slippers [21:40] <blathnat> badger slippers [21:40] <JaneMarple9> :) pretty dedicated to go out in the snow [21:41] <SoonerGryffindor> that is a cute image [21:41] <artlady> hahaa [21:41] <harryfreak359> definitely dedicated [21:41] <fawkes28> i think we all would do whatever it takes if our internet was down and the title came out :) [21:41] <harryfreak359> I agree with that Fawkes [21:42] <fawkes28> when my computer froze i know how crazy i was going - right as i clicked on the present for the title [21:42] <harryfreak359> I would have went to all of my neighbors asking if I could use the internet, bribing them if I had to. [21:42] <MrMcGonagall> I was all in a panic the other day when I dropped my laptop on the pavement. My first thought was, "Oh no! I'm going to miss the P3 chat!" [21:42] <fawkes28> luckily i had back up :wink: [21:42] <artlady> eek! [21:42] <futureweasley> MrMcG!! OMG! [21:42] <SoonerGryffindor> that is true dedication [21:42] <harryfreak359> LOL Mr.McG! I thought that same thing when my old computer crashed! [21:42] <MrMcGonagall> Fortunately my laptop is a Mac and it survived. Takes a lickin', but keeps on clickin'. [21:42] <fawkes28> you got us laughing over here - a few miles away [21:42] <Theoriser> aww, glad to hear how much you enjoy the chats, Mr M! [21:42] <blathnat> lol [21:43] <harryfreak359> I was like "I need to buy a new one before the next CB chat!" [21:43] <fawkes28> Melissa didn't wait to get through Jo's hangman game to find out the title - she made Sue tell her it straight out. Did you play the game first or find out the title some other way first? [21:43] <blathnat> Game first [21:43] <Aislinn> I played the game [21:43] <harryfreak359> I played the game first, that's the fun of it! [21:43] <SoonerGryffindor> I played the game with my daighter [21:43] <artlady> I played--only missed one!! [21:43] <Aislinn> that would be like turning to the last page of the book :D [21:43] <harryfreak359> I didn't miss any, I was amazed [21:43] <futureweasley> I made everyone I work with play it [21:43] <MrMcGonagall> Actually, I checked Leaky news so soon after it was posted that the title was actually revealed by mistake at the bottom of the post. [21:43] <fawkes28> i played the game the next day after i realized i didnt do it [21:43] <SoonerGryffindor> I missed 3 letters [21:43] <suzb> i played the game made blathnat not tell me and screamed at my sis to do the same [21:44] <harryfreak359> Agreed Aislinn! [21:44] <Theoriser> I wanted to find it out for myself [21:44] <blathnat> I got it all compleatly wrong [21:44] <fawkes28> i couldnt wait [21:44] <Theoriser> I found the instructions on how to get through the door, and then did the hangman [21:44] <suzb> it took 2 attepmts [21:44] <SoonerGryffindor> I love the way that Jo gives us a fun way to uncover the surprise [21:44] <JaneMarple9> i knew the title [21:44] <fawkes28> i didnt care at that point - i knew i could always play later [21:44] <futureweasley> what, Aislinn...you won't be reading the last page first?! [21:44] <Theoriser> I lost first time, but got it the second time [21:44] <MrMcGonagall> I did the same, Theorisser. [21:45] <harryfreak359> Me too Sooner [21:45] <JaneMarple9> so i used te letters immediatly [21:45] <Aislinn> no way, future! [21:45] *** stinkywinky has quit [Bye] [21:45] <futureweasley> lol...alright [21:45] <Aislinn> I never skip to the end [21:45] <JaneMarple9> but then couldn't resist "Hanging the man" [21:45] <harryfreak359> That would be wrong, Future, so wrong! [21:45] <fawkes28> i agree, aislinn [21:45] <JaneMarple9> You're so good Aislinn [21:45] <fawkes28> tsk tsk future :) [21:45] <blathnat> Its should have been hang the Snape [21:45] <fawkes28> Evanna thinks the book title (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) refers to the veil in the Department of Mysteries. She thinks Harry will die but because the audience hears Harry's thoughts in the books, we will into the veil with him and follow him for a bit. What do you think about this theory? [21:45] <JaneMarple9> I have cheated each time the book is released [21:45] <artlady> hah [21:46] <suzb> lol [21:46] <futureweasley> I'm going to have to fight the temptation, huge [21:46] *** stinkywinky has joined #lounge [21:46] <JaneMarple9> so I need to superglue the pages together this time! [21:46] <SoonerGryffindor> wb stinkywinky [21:46] <Theoriser> to be honest, I haven't decided what my theory is yet, so I think this is a good one [21:46] <stinkywinky> sorry bout that [21:46] <harryfreak359> Interesting theory and possible, but not my most favorite of theories. [21:46] <SoonerGryffindor> I have theorized that I think Harry will go through the veil [21:46] <MrMcGonagall> I'm really not sure Harry will have to go through the veil. It's a possibility. [21:46] <fawkes28> i think harry will go through the veil but he will come out alive [21:46] <suzb> i like the thoery but its my second fav [21:46] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, hf. [21:47] <SoonerGryffindor> but that he will live [21:47] <artlady> I don't know about the veil...I like the 'spell' theory [21:47] <harryfreak359> That's kind of what I am on right now, Sooner [21:47] <blathnat> It is possible [21:47] <Aislinn> I think there is some validity to the veil being involved, but it seems to go against Jo's view of death being final [21:47] <SoonerGryffindor> that is a common argument against the theory Aislinnn [21:47] <fawkes28> but even if it is just for a visit? just to get enlightened? [21:47] <blathnat> But i dont like it personaly sorry Evana [21:47] <harryfreak359> I think that it mostly comes from me wanting to see what is behind that veil [21:48] <harryfreak359> Yet, I don't think Harry will die, so I had to compromise... [21:48] <SoonerGryffindor> I like to think of it as a near-death experience. Kind of like when people are technically dead, but doctors bring them back [21:48] <SoonerGryffindor> I think something will bring him back [21:48] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, Aislinn. I think there's a way to communicate with the deceased, but I'm not so sure it involves Harry going through the veil. [21:48] <Aislinn> and that may be where the draught of Living Death comes in [21:48] <artlady> maybe someone will peek out [21:49] <Aislinn> right - Mr M - I could see him communicating with loved ones through the veil, but not going through himself [21:49] <SoonerGryffindor> he did hear the voices... [21:49] <harryfreak359> I think that we really need to know more about the veil though, before we can actually understand what it would happen and such [21:49] <fawkes28> yes, we may see the draught again, which would definitely help harry in this case [21:49] <fawkes28> that is a great point, hf [21:49] <stinkywinky> I love hearing your theories, but I've gotta go! bye all [21:49] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it can only happen on Halloween [21:49] <harryfreak359> Bye Stinkywinky! [21:49] <artlady> bye stinky [21:49] *** stinkywinky has quit [Bye] [21:50] <harryfreak359> What can only happen on halloween Sooner? [21:50] <JaneMarple9> oh totally agreed [21:50] <SoonerGryffindor> the veil is thinnest then according to legend [21:50] <JaneMarple9> the deathly hallows has to refer to hallowe'en [21:50] <harryfreak359> oooh, I like that idea [21:50] <artlady> back later--dinner--have fun in Oklahoma, gals! [21:50] <suzb> me too jane [21:50] <harryfreak359> bye Artlady! [21:50] <SoonerGryffindor> bye artlady [21:50] <Aislinn> yes, sooner - I think that is when he will communicate too [21:50] <fawkes28> bye artlady [21:50] *** artlady has quit [Bye] [21:51] <suzb> because lilly and james were killed on halloween [21:51] <Theoriser> oooh, nice idea [21:51] <SoonerGryffindor> that is going to be the "loophole" I think where he will be able to cross and come back without technically dying [21:51] <Theoriser> and that would tie in nicely with the halloween theme [21:51] <MrMcGonagall> That's an interesting idea, Sooner. [21:51] <fawkes28> harry does have a lot of loopholes [21:51] <harryfreak359> I like that theory Sooner [21:51] <MrMcGonagall> I kind of like it. [21:51] <blathnat> Hmm.. [21:51] <SoonerGryffindor> but not saying that is the end of the story [21:51] <Aislinn> It makes more sense to me that the beings on the other side will be able to cross back to communicate with Harry - we've seen them do that before [21:52] <JaneMarple9> something has happened in every book, at hallowe'en [21:52] <SoonerGryffindor> that is a good point Aislinn [21:52] <SoonerGryffindor> I like that theory as well [21:52] <JaneMarple9> so that why i think it is significant [21:52] <suzb> what if sirius is stunned behind the viel? it was red light thats stunning isn't it? [21:52] <harryfreak359> If they can, why can beings on the other side do the same as well, though? I mean, that could be something that is being studied in the DoM [21:52] <fawkes28> if that happens though i don't think it will be through the veil - i think if they communicate with him it would be through the locked room [21:52] <suzb> then you arent dead back there harry can come back [21:52] <harryfreak359> can't* [21:53] <MrMcGonagall> Of course, it wasn't so much like they "came back," was it? In GoF, it was more like very faithful echoes of the people . . . strong imprints. [21:53] <JaneMarple9> very long stun if sirius is still stunned! [21:53] <fawkes28> Do you think, like Evanna, that Voldemort might go through the veil as well? [21:53] <JaneMarple9> i hope so [21:53] <SoonerGryffindor> nope [21:53] <suzb> lol, wee dunno who long you can stay stunned for though [21:53] <blathnat> what happens if he is stunned and cant get back [21:53] <JaneMarple9> best place for him! [21:53] <blathnat> Die voldy die [21:53] <blathnat> lmao [21:53] <fawkes28> he will not even go if he was kicking and screaming [21:53] <SoonerGryffindor> I think there really is a fate worse than death waiting for LV [21:53] <MrMcGonagall> No, I don't think so. I'm all in favor of chucking some horcruxes in, though. [21:53] <harryfreak359> I think that could be a possiblity, but it is not one that i am really supporting [21:53] <harryfreak359> I agree, Sooner [21:53] <Aislinn> right, Mr M - but this would be different, as it would be the veil, not the wands [21:54] <MrMcGonagall> Yeah, I see what you mean, Aislinn. Same sort of principle. [21:54] <fawkes28> lol mr. m do you think voldemort would go in and fetch them? [21:54] <harryfreak359> lol [21:54] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [21:55] <MrMcGonagall> Here Voldie, good boy! Good boy! Go fetch the horcrux! [21:55] <blathnat> lol [21:55] <harryfreak359> LOL [21:55] <fawkes28> LOL [21:55] <SoonerGryffindor> that would be a great fan fic [21:55] <harryfreak359> hehehehe, it would be hilarious, Sooner [21:55] <fawkes28> nothing will ever get him to go into the veil [21:55] <fawkes28> he fears death above all else [21:56] <SoonerGryffindor> true [21:56] <harryfreak359> Yeah, true Fawkes [21:56] <fawkes28> When John first saw "Deathly Hallows" he thought of "Hollow" as in Godric's Hollow, until someone pointed out to him that the two are not spelled the same and that they mean different things. Did you make this same mistake at first? [21:56] <MrMcGonagall> No. [21:56] <Theoriser> nope [21:56] <suzb> no [21:56] <SoonerGryffindor> no, but I have seen a lot of people make this mistake [21:56] <Theoriser> I was too busy wondering what on earth a hallow was [21:57] <harryfreak359> Yes, when I first saw it I thought of hollow, but then I realized abotu a second later that it was not hollow, but "hallows" [21:57] <fawkes28> no i didnt but it is easy to see how people would make the connection [21:57] <SoonerGryffindor> I started to google hallows and then realized that Leaky would be the best place to look [21:57] <blathnat> i thought it was Hallo as in hello [21:58] *** Greeneyes15 has joined #lounge [21:58] <JaneMarple9> I thought it referred to Hollow as in Godric's Hollow [21:58] <harryfreak359> then I knew that hallows meant sacred or holy, I think that if I had not heard of "hallows" before I wouldn't have realized the difference [21:58] <fawkes28> hi greeneyes [21:58] <JaneMarple9> probably lots of people did [21:58] <Greeneyes15> hi [21:58] <SoonerGryffindor> the first thing I thought of was hallowed ground [21:58] <Aislinn> they always seemed distinct to me [21:58] <Theoriser> hi greeneyes [21:58] <Greeneyes15> hello [21:59] <fawkes28> i think putting godric's hollow in the title would be too obvious as we know it will be important [21:59] <SoonerGryffindor> I agree [21:59] <harryfreak359> I agree [21:59] <SoonerGryffindor> besides, I think that GH will be visited early in the book, and then we will be done with it [21:59] <harryfreak359> I think I mainly mistook it for hollow in my excitement [21:59] <fawkes28> right there is no need for it to be a title [21:59] <harryfreak359> then I was like, "hey! That's not hollows!" [22:00] <fawkes28> well, because we are familiar with the word hallow [22:00] <Greeneyes15> what about the hallows as being the horcruxes? [22:00] <fawkes28> *hollow [22:00] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, Sooner. [22:00] <harryfreak359> I agree Sooner [22:00] <Aislinn> yes, it sounded like the visit would be early in the story [22:00] *** theLioness has quit [Bye] [22:00] <Aislinn> but I think he will learn something vital there [22:00] <MrMcGonagall> I think the idea of hallows being objects is a little esoteric. [22:00] <suzb> g2g everyone [22:00] <blathnat> g2g bye [22:00] <suzb> have fun [22:00] <suzb> bye [22:00] <MrMcGonagall> Bye, suzb! [22:00] <Theoriser> bye :) [22:00] <SoonerGryffindor> bye suz [22:01] <fawkes28> Do you think, like John, that "Deathly Hallows" will have an important tie to the original "All Hallows' Eve" holiday? What are some things that are special about Halloween that may connect it to the book title? [22:01] <harryfreak359> bye suzbs and blathnat! [22:01] *** suzb has quit [Bye] [22:01] <SoonerGryffindor> yes [22:01] <MrMcGonagall> I think there is a kind of thematic connection. [22:01] *** blathnat has quit [Bye] [22:01] <harryfreak359> I think that it may have some connection along with other things [22:01] <SoonerGryffindor> I've already theorized on this with my veil theory [22:01] <Theoriser> they could be connected [22:01] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's all about the connection with the deceased. [22:01] <Aislinn> i think that this is one of the many layers that we will find out all relate to this title [22:01] <Theoriser> it's not too much of a stretch [22:01] <fawkes28> i think all hallows eve has a strong connection to the title [22:02] <SoonerGryffindor> Every halloween, something important happens [22:02] <harryfreak359> I agree Mr.M [22:02] <SoonerGryffindor> anybody else have any thoughts on this? [22:03] <harryfreak359> well, I pretty much agree with what we said [22:03] <MrMcGonagall> When we get behind all the stuff that is part of our popular Muggle celebration of Halloween, I think that there is a connection to be made between the title and All Hallows' Eve. [22:03] <fawkes28> I think Halloween will play a big role in some way, shape, or form [22:03] <harryfreak359> Yes, Mr.M I think so too [22:03] <Aislinn> yes [22:03] <fawkes28> every year something happens on halloween [22:03] <SoonerGryffindor> I agree Mr M, this was not some random title [22:03] <Theoriser> halloween has come up so often in the books, and we haven't really been told why yet [22:03] <JaneMarple9> it does fawkes [22:04] <harryfreak359> Good point Theoriser, there is usually a reason for things like that too [22:04] <Aislinn> it all gets back to the veil again, and the connection with the spirits on the other side [22:04] <MrMcGonagall> Yep. Totally, Aislinn. [22:04] <Aislinn> and the fact that the Potters died on Hallow's Eve, brings it all full circle [22:04] <harryfreak359> Yes Aislinn [22:04] <Greeneyes15> yep [22:04] <JaneMarple9> i think it is because us Muggles assosiate hallowe'en with wizards and witches [22:04] <Theoriser> things are beginning to connect and make sense [22:04] <fawkes28> The reason they couldn't use a cemetary in the background in Movie 3 was probably because of the location of the white tomb in Book 6, however, what do you think of the idea that the "Deathly Hallows" might refer in part to holy places such as a graveyard or someone's resting place? [22:05] <SoonerGryffindor> I'm not as enthused with this idea to be honest [22:05] <Aislinn> It seems to be a popular theory, but I don't know if I agree with it [22:05] <Theoriser> it could still refer to this as well, there's just so many different things it could mean [22:05] <MrMcGonagall> I really don't know that there will be a graveyard at Hogwarts. I'm more inclined to think that there's a crypt somewhere. [22:05] <fawkes28> i think we will see a few people's resting places [22:06] <SoonerGryffindor> I think if if refers to crypts it could be the founders graves [22:06] <harryfreak359> I am kind of open to this theory as well, but I think that we will see a few graveyards [22:06] <fawkes28> i thought about it at the end of HBP with Dumbledore's death - about how it may be important to visit the founder's graves [22:06] <MrMcGonagall> I wonder why Lily and James would have been buried at GH. [22:07] <SoonerGryffindor> good question MR M [22:07] <SoonerGryffindor> maybe there was no other plan? [22:07] <MrMcGonagall> What as their connection to the place that would warrant being interred there? [22:07] <Theoriser> and how does Harry even know they're there? He must be assuming that they lived there [22:08] <Aislinn> that is an excellent question Mr M, and one I hope we see an answer to [22:08] <SoonerGryffindor> lots of missing facts there [22:08] <MrMcGonagall> I wondered about that too, Theoriser. [22:08] <harryfreak359> Yes, there is still too much that we don't know about all this, Mr.M and Theoriser, those are both excellent questions [22:08] <MrMcGonagall> Obviously there was enough left of them to bury, grisly as that is. [22:08] <SoonerGryffindor> 2 great questions I have never thought of and dont know an answer to [22:08] <harryfreak359> lol, same herre [22:09] <harryfreak359> here* [22:09] <SoonerGryffindor> As grisly as it is to think about, we need to [22:09] <harryfreak359> Yup, agreed [22:09] <fawkes28> What do you think this particular title (and the date it was announced) might mean for the release date of the book? Will it be summer, fall, winter, a specific date...? [22:09] *** Greeneyes15 has quit [Bye] [22:09] <MrMcGonagall> I think fall. [22:09] <harryfreak359> I think it will be around Halloween, i think that would be a great time [22:10] <Aislinn> I don't know that the title really indicates anyting about the release date [22:10] <MrMcGonagall> Nov. 2, 2007! [22:10] <Aislinn> But I agree that the fall is likely [22:10] <Theoriser> it would be a great time, harryfreak [22:10] <SoonerGryffindor> I predict Halloween, but that;s on a week day [22:10] <harryfreak359> I agree with Mr.M [22:10] <Aislinn> I like your reasons for the 2nd Mr M [22:10] <Theoriser> maybe near halloween, but not right on the day [22:10] <Aislinn> want to share them here? [22:10] <harryfreak359> it is a really good theory, Mr.M [22:10] * SoonerGryffindor wants to hear alos [22:10] * harryfreak359 does too [22:10] <MrMcGonagall> November 2 is All Soul's Day. All Hallows' Eve, All Saints Day, All Souls Day. [22:11] <fawkes28> you know the winter solistice is on a friday next year [22:11] <fawkes28> i think that would be interesting [22:11] <harryfreak359> I also like the idea of it being near the winter solstice, that would be my second choise [22:11] <harryfreak359> choice* [22:12] <fawkes28> mine too, hf [22:12] <Aislinn> Souls have certainly played a central role in the story - the Horcruxes, the spirits we have seen, the Dementors who suck them out [22:12] <fawkes28> i originally wanted summer 08 before the title but now i have decided that is too long to wait [22:12] <harryfreak359> Yes, Aislinn [22:12] <harryfreak359> Heh, me too Fawkes [22:13] <SoonerGryffindor> I will be happy with fall [22:13] <JaneMarple9> oh hallowe'en 07 sounds good to me [22:13] <SoonerGryffindor> summer would be too soon [22:13] <harryfreak359> Agreed Sooner [22:13] <fawkes28> yes, definitely not this summer [22:13] <fawkes28> Melissa mentioned that a lot of people think the title has something to do with the horcrux objects, but she thinks it has more to do with the PLACES where Harry finds the horcruxes. What do you think? [22:13] <MrMcGonagall> Given that Jo hasn't quite finished the writing, I just can't see a summer release date this time. [22:13] <harryfreak359> need more time to make theories! [22:13] <Theoriser> summer would clash with the film release [22:13] <MrMcGonagall> No on both counts for me. [22:13] <harryfreak359> I kind of feel both ways on this [22:14] <SoonerGryffindor> me too [22:14] <MrMcGonagall> That's a shocker for you, hf! :D [22:14] <SoonerGryffindor> I still feel as if hallows are referring to the horcruxes themselves, but that doesnt seem to quite fit either [22:14] <fawkes28> I think it could be a place rather than the horcruxes because the horcruxes see too obvious and we know how jo likes to be sneaky [22:14] <harryfreak359> Yes, I know, :D [22:15] <SoonerGryffindor> I am still trying to work out what I realy think about it all [22:15] *** Greeneyes15 has joined #lounge [22:15] <harryfreak359> Me too Sooner [22:15] <Theoriser> it could refer to both the places and the objects [22:15] <Theoriser> thing is, there's just so many things the title could refer to [22:15] <SoonerGryffindor> I think one of those 2 if the right guess [22:15] <Aislinn> I don't think that the word Hallows means places [22:15] <harryfreak359> Which I think is great, I think, Theoriser, that's what is so fun! [22:15] *** HermyG13 has joined #lounge [22:15] <Greeneyes15> me eiher [22:16] *** WaggaWaggaWerewolf has joined #lounge [22:16] <Aislinn> hi hermyG [22:16] <Aislinn> Hi wagga [22:16] <HermyG13> hey all! it's been awhile for me [22:16] <SoonerGryffindor> hi www [22:16] <JaneMarple9> hallows means objects to me [22:16] <Greeneyes15> me too [22:16] <Theoriser> hi HermyG [22:16] <fawkes28> hi hermy and wagga [22:16] <fawkes28> Gina spoke about how the forum mods had discussed all of the references to the "hanged man" - not only on Jo's site, but in the city near to the Riddle House. What do you think of Jo having us play a hangman game to get the title? [22:16] <MrMcGonagall> Hallows means people to me. [22:16] <harryfreak359> Well, that was my first thought that it was somewhere that harry would have to visit or something...but objects sounds good too, yet I am not sure if either sound right when I think abotu it [22:16] *** futureweasley has quit [Bye] [22:16] <harryfreak359> about* [22:16] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hi everyone. Has this chat only started? [22:16] <MrMcGonagall> Well, we do know Jo has a fondness for the game. [22:17] <SoonerGryffindor> As a member of that chat, I can say that we loved talking about that [22:17] *** futureweasley has joined #lounge [22:17] <Aislinn> I think it is interesting that she chose that game [22:17] <SoonerGryffindor> we speculated that there is more to the hanged man pub than meets the eye [22:17] <fawkes28> i think jo is very clever and i think that it very well may tie into the books [22:17] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Well Hallows rhymes with Gallows [22:17] <harryfreak359> I missed that part of the chat :( [22:17] <SoonerGryffindor> hf, that was the mod chat that Gina was talking about on PC [22:17] <harryfreak359> ohhhh [22:18] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [22:18] <Aislinn> but the actual mod chat wasn't on the pC [22:18] <fawkes28> it sounds like you all came up with some clever ideas :) [22:18] <SoonerGryffindor> right. Maybe it will be [22:18] <SoonerGryffindor> sometime in the future [22:18] <Greeneyes15> hello? [22:18] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hi Greeneyes15 [22:18] <SoonerGryffindor> we see you greeneyes [22:18] <harryfreak359> Hi greeneyes! [22:19] *** Greeneyes15 has quit [Bye] [22:19] <SoonerGryffindor> there are so many hanged man references throughout the books [22:19] <SoonerGryffindor> there is the hangman's noose in B&B's [22:19] <SoonerGryffindor> there is the pub [22:19] <SoonerGryffindor> and there is the tarot card [22:19] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hand of glory? [22:19] *** Greeneyes15 has joined #lounge [22:19] <harryfreak359> I think that the hanged man may be of some importance because it has been so many times when it has been mentioned [22:19] <SoonerGryffindor> and Harry and Ron play hangman in his copy of Fantastic Beasts [22:19] <Aislinn> and several characters have been "hung" upside down [22:19] <fawkes28> yes, i have heard that wagga [22:20] <harryfreak359> Yup, Sooner [22:20] <Greeneyes15> and little hangleton [22:20] <Theoriser> good idea Aislinn, maybe we'll see the levicorpus spell again [22:20] <futureweasley> hey, there's an idea [22:20] <SoonerGryffindor> yes, there is also Little Hangleton, home of Tom Riddle Senior [22:20] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> There is a real place called Hangleton in Sussex [22:20] <HermyG13> I can see that happening, wow, good connection [22:20] <fawkes28> i love these little subtle clues that she leaves [22:20] <harryfreak359> Me too, Fawkes [22:20] <Aislinn> there was also the golden mist for Harry in the maze, and Hagrid was hung upside down by the giants when he went to talk to them [22:21] <Greeneyes15> and the hanged mans pubb, or something like that [22:21] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> With a really old church, St Helens, an old mansion and probably a graveyard [22:21] <Theoriser> I'm beginning to pay more attention to wondering why there are so many names with 'hang' in them where Voldy's dad came from; Little Hangleton and the hanged man [22:21] <harryfreak359> yes, Aislinn, I forgot about hagrid [22:21] <SoonerGryffindor> one thing that came up in the mod chat was that maybe the pub is a DE headquarters [22:21] <Greeneyes15> yes, [22:21] <harryfreak359> Ehhhh....I am not so sure that I would agree with that [22:21] <Greeneyes15> why [22:22] <JaneMarple9> what about the link the the hanged man on tarot cards? [22:22] <Greeneyes15> did we see that tarot card in the book? [22:22] <JaneMarple9> because that would connect with trelawnley too [22:22] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Nope. But Morfin's place was where one of the horcruxes was hidden. And there is the Riddle mansion [22:22] <SoonerGryffindor> its too lengthy to get into for this chat, but there is a thread about it [22:22] <harryfreak359> Well, it is in a muggle village really, and a muggle pub, why would the DE's want to have their headquarters there? It just doesn't make sense to me [22:23] <JaneMarple9> I am sure the hanged man was mentioned in book six by trelawnly [22:23] <fawkes28> Were you excited that Nick Rhein mentioned the Corner Booth on the PotterCast call-in show? [22:23] <SoonerGryffindor> :excited: [22:23] <SoonerGryffindor> that was so neat [22:23] <futureweasley> :excited: [22:23] <harryfreak359> Yes! :excited: [22:23] <fawkes28> yes, i was excited because i was in the CB at the time This post has been edited by Theoriser: Dec 26 2006, 06:08 PM |

[22:23] <Theoriser> well, I was, but I may be a little biased :p
[22:23] <JaneMarple9> always good to be mentioened! [22:23] <fawkes28> :excited: [22:23] <MrMcGonagall> The CB rocks. [22:23] <SoonerGryffindor> hahahaha [22:23] <JaneMarple9> it does! [22:23] <Aislinn> :excited: [22:23] <fawkes28> it was like he described [22:23] <fawkes28> we were a bit excited [22:23] <futureweasley> we're slowly making it on the "Harry Potter map" [22:24] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> How did you call in? By skype? [22:24] <Aislinn> you left your skype name with them, and they called you, I believe [22:24] <SoonerGryffindor> wagga, the PC crew was calling people [22:24] <futureweasley> yes Aislinn..that's they way it worked [22:24] <fawkes28> they called Nick and he was in the booth at the time they called him [22:24] <SoonerGryffindor> its nice to finally get recognition for everything that goes on in hre [22:24] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I notice Arianhrod's work got mentioned on Mugglenet in New Clues [22:25] <fawkes28> we had a lot of people stop by that day and we were all very excited [22:25] <Aislinn> huge crowd that day, all 3 times we opened the door :) [22:25] <fawkes28> On to the filk show! Have you ever recorded a filk? Did any of you have filks on this holiday's special PotterCast? [22:25] <SoonerGryffindor> uh... yeah [22:25] <harryfreak359> lol [22:25] <Aislinn> lol [22:25] <HermyG13> yeah [22:25] <futureweasley> MrMcG...hey, did one of yours make it?

[22:26] <JaneMarple9> never done a filk but they are good to listen to [22:26] <harryfreak359> I have never made a filk, though I think that I may try to write one for fun [22:26] <Aislinn> it's a song, wagga - you write your own lyrics to a known tune [22:26] <HermyG13> and set the lyrics to Harry Potter [22:26] <Greeneyes15> i think some of the filks are hil;arious!! [22:26] <JaneMarple9> they are songs and you insert your own words [22:26] <futureweasley> hi HermyG [22:26] <futureweasley> :doh: [22:26] <HermyG13> hey [22:26] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Aha! Sort of Bad king Wenceslas looked out Of his bedroom window. [22:26] <Theoriser> yep, and these ones on PotterCast were Christmas songs with the lyrics rewritten to the subject of Harry Potter [22:26] <SoonerGryffindor> future and I had one that made this show as well [22:27] <fawkes28> the CB gals made the last holiday filk cast [22:27] *** lookingglass has joined #lounge [22:27] <SoonerGryffindor> I am starting to get addicted to it [22:27] <HermyG13> my first ever played was last year's 'cast [22:27] <futureweasley> hi lookinggalss [22:27] <fawkes28> hi lookingglasss [22:27] <HermyG13> for x-mas [22:27] <SoonerGryffindor> hi lookingglass [22:27] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, my filk "Hogwarts' Bells" made it!

[22:27] <SoonerGryffindor> great job [22:27] <fawkes28> i wooted just for you :) [22:27] <futureweasley> that's what I thought, but it didn't give you any "credits" anywhere I looked [22:27] <Aislinn> hi lookingglass [22:28] <HermyG13> hi lookingglass [22:28] <MrMcGonagall> It was inspired by the GoF reading groups. Our common room . . . the Great Hall. [22:28] <MrMcGonagall> . [22:28] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Hi lookingglass [22:28] <Aislinn> there are no credits for any of them, and I think there should be [22:28] <futureweasley> aww, the Great Hall...tear [22:28] <fawkes28> yes, i think there should be [22:28] <fawkes28> awww [22:28] <harryfreak359> I agree Aislinn [22:28] <futureweasley> yes I think there should be, too [22:28] <SoonerGryffindor> I guess we could all post in a thread who we are and which song is ours [22:28] <futureweasley> Mod Rebellion [22:28] <MrMcGonagall> I think they'll probably post credits soon . . . I think it's probably been overlooked what with the holidays. [22:29] <Aislinn> lol [22:29] <HermyG13> yeah, my intro, I tried a british accent, lol [22:29] <Aislinn> lol [22:29] <futureweasley> which one was yours, Hermy?

[22:30] <HermyG13> mine, let's just say, high notes and me don't get along...so I made the idea of ginny being 'distraught' [22:30] <harryfreak359> ....I don't remember that one, for some reason [22:30] *** Greeneyes15 has quit [Bye] [22:31] *** Greeneyes15 has joined #lounge [22:31] *** Greeneyes15 has quit [Bye] [22:32] *** Greeneyes15 has joined #lounge [22:32] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> I can croak along with the National anthem.

[22:35] <Theoriser> they're really fun :) [22:35] <MrMcGonagall> I know, I was disappointed that Sooner and future's Grinch filk didn't make the cut, but we at least had a good Grinch filk about LV in this episode. [22:35] <Greeneyes15> but i dont know how to record one [22:35] <SoonerGryffindor> yes [22:35] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> When is the next Pottercast?

This will be the last question. [22:38] <fawkes28> In your opinion, was this the best PotterCast 69 ever? [22:39] <SoonerGryffindor> yes :lol: [22:39] <harryfreak359> lol yes [22:39] <WaggaWaggaWerewolf> Isn't it the only Pottercast 69? [22:39] <MrMcGonagall> Yes! lol.
