[16:05] <mroberts731> what was yours cbm?
[16:05] <mroberts731> awesome fawkes
[16:06] <cbm> Hearing JK on the radio and running to the store to pick up the book
[16:06] <danae24> I read a fan fic!

[16:06] <fawkes28> i'll woot for cbm being on PC
[16:06] <danae24> That story was awesome!!!!
[16:06] <cbm> lol
[16:06] <cbm> That is why I went to NYC last year, I had to hear her again
[16:07] <danae24> lucky duck!
[16:07] <mroberts731> you went to NYC!!!!
[16:07] <mroberts731> so jealous
[16:07] *** cbm has quit [Bye]
[16:07] *** cbm has joined #lounge
[16:07] <fawkes28> yes, NYC was a great time
[16:08] <cbm> It was well worth the trip!
[16:08] <mroberts731> I wish i could do something fun like that
[16:08] <fawkes28> Jo just amazes me - i was lucky to be in the same room with her along with thousands of other people laugh
[16:08] <danae24> me too mroberts731
[16:08] <mroberts731> im always so jealous
[16:08] <mroberts731> in a good way
[16:08] <cbm> I often wonder if I would have become a HP fan if I had never heard her that 1st time
[16:09] <fawkes28> i figured since i am only about 2 and half hours away from NYC - that i couldnt miss the opportunity to see her
[16:09] <mroberts731> dont dwell on the unpleasant cbm
[16:09] <fawkes28> once in a lifetime deal
[16:09] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i wonder sometimes, too cbm... like if i'd like certain movies if i wasn't with certain people
[16:09] <cbm> I was 4 hours away!
[16:09] <fawkes28> well, we are lucky you found it
[16:09] <cbm> I do not consider that an unpleasant thought
[16:10] <cbm> I feel very lucky to have found it also!
[16:10] <fawkes28> debating wouldnt be the same without you
[16:10] <danae24> that's true
[16:10] <cbm> very true fawkes
[16:10] <fawkes28> I am very lucky to have found this site - i have made some awesome lifelong friends because of it
[16:10] <mroberts731> im in wisconsin and i still couldn't go
[16:11] <Raldan> Iwas drawn in by the podcast first, led me to the site.
[16:11] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i love leaky... being a staffer makes being a fan a lot different too
[16:11] <mroberts731> i know what you mean about being lucky to have found leaky, my family was getting sick of me
[16:11] <danae24> I found the site first because of a research I was doing for a homework
[16:12] <danae24> that's true chocolate!
[16:12] <cbm> I found the site becassue of leakynews, and then I read about the reading groups, then I joined
[16:12] <mroberts731> what do you guys do for the site?
[16:12] <danae24> I work at the Galleries

[16:14] <cbm> I knew that book 7 was coming out and I wanted to go through all of the books slowly
[16:14] <mroberts731> i've thought about trying to apply before but was hesitant...i've been checking the site a few times a day for years
[16:14] <Raldan> Sept 2005
[16:15] <ChrisDotsonTLC> I got into HP because of the films. When GoF was comign out, I thought I would get the book first and read it. It was all downhill after that.
[16:15] <fawkes28> almost 2 years, Raldan
[16:15] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> that's how i was mroberts, in January or December I applied as flash programmer to get some Actionscript Programming experience... if i have to keep my skills up by doing projects, might as well have them be HP projects!
[16:15] <fawkes28> i just had my year anniversary on April 16th
[16:15] <danae24> hahaha!
[16:15] <Raldan> Started about the start of Pottercast
[16:15] *** ChrisDotsonTLC has quit [Bye]
[16:16] <mroberts731> thats great chocolate
[16:16] <danae24> I came to Leaky just before the release of OotP..... it all went downhill from there
[16:16] <cbm> Mine was Feb 9
[16:16] <Raldan> lol danae
[16:16] <mroberts731> it must be fun! i only have time to be more active now because im at home now with the kids

[16:18] <fawkes28> Welcome to the Corner Booth! Today, we will be discussing the most recent episode of PotterCast, which you can direct download at www.pottercast.com.

[16:18] <mroberts731> No. sad
[16:18] <danae24> I wish....... but sadly I dont have the money......
[16:19] <mroberts731> I have a three week old
[16:19] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i'm thinking about prophecy... is registration closed for it?
[16:19] <cbm> Nope
[16:19] <fawkes28> yes, i will be seeing two - one in new orleans and one in toronto
[16:19] <danae24> no, not yet
[16:19] <fawkes28> i dont think so, chocolate
[16:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i can't go to phoenix rising because of school - our final presentations are that day
[16:20] <danae24> if I can get enough money by may, I may consider the chance of going to Toronto, but i'm not sure....
[16:20] <cbm> that is cool, one before the book come out and one after
[16:20] <Raldan> Depends on when Phoenix is, will check site.
[16:20] <mroberts731> I wish i could go to prophecy
[16:20] <fawkes28> if you guys have the money and can get time off, you should go
[16:20] <cbm> Toronto is a fun city
[16:20] <danae24> Phoenix rising is on may Raldan, but there are no more registrations.....
[16:21] <Raldan> oh well...

[16:21] <fawkes28> we are just chatting about the conferences this summer
[16:22] <Aislinn> which should be very exciting
[16:22] <mroberts731> Cany you imagine the gloating that will go on at Prophecy? "I TOLD you Snape was bad, etc"
[16:22] <danae24> if anyone has space on one of their suitcases, can I go with you????
[16:22] <fawkes28> oh, yes, mroberts731 - i am all ready for that

[16:22] <danae24> lol.gif

[16:23] <danae24> the trailers are too awesome to just pick a part
[16:23] <danae24> bye Raldan!
[16:23] <fawkes28> bye raldan
[16:23] *** Raldan left #lounge []
[16:23] <Aislinn> the twins!
[16:23] <mroberts731> Oh man, I loved Rupert's delivery of that line!
[16:23] <fawkes28> i loved the trailers
[16:23] <cbm> Just all of the images, OotP is my favorite book!
[16:23] <danae24> I love the DA classes or the Speech that Harry does........ it's great
[16:23] <Aislinn> the music really gives it all an ominous feel
[16:23] <fawkes28> i enjoyed seeing all of the stuff in the DoM
[16:24] <Aislinn> yes, mroberts, I loved that line too
[16:24] <fawkes28> The movie looks so dark - just the way the book is written
[16:24] <mroberts731> Dan looks like he does and amazing job
[16:24] *** JaneMarple9 has joined #lounge
[16:24] <fawkes28> hi Jane
[16:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i loved the editing
[16:24] <JaneMarple9> hey all smile
[16:24] <danae24> yes...... it does look like they got a bit more attached to the book plot this time......
[16:24] <fawkes28> we are just chatting about the trailers
[16:24] <danae24> No more Kloveisms!!!!!!!!
[16:24] <JaneMarple9> oh they are really really good
[16:25] <JaneMarple9> umbridge looks perfect!
[16:25] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> well, OotP's plot is so simple in comparison to the rest
[16:25] <mroberts731> I was so blown away by the trailers on the whole
[16:25] <mroberts731> Alan Rickman!!! So excited to see more of him.
[16:25] <cbm> Umbridge is not toady enough, but she does have the attitude down though
[16:25] <fawkes28> yes, mroberts731 - i was definitely blown away too
[16:25] <JaneMarple9> right pink-ish smile
[16:26] <mroberts731> I had to watch it again and again
[16:26] <danae24> she is giving pink a very bad name
[16:26] <fawkes28> i did too
[16:26] <mroberts731> I have a question though
[16:26] *** ltbrave23 has joined #lounge
[16:26] <fawkes28> oh no, not my pink sad
[16:26] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i was excited, because i'm not spoiling the movie for myself by studying the hi-res stills or reading about the screening or anything... i only let myself watch the trailers
[16:26] <fawkes28> hi ltbrave23
[16:26] <JaneMarple9> poor fawkes has picked the wrong colour today laugh
[16:26] <mroberts731> what was with the mission impossible clip, do you know what I mean?
[16:26] <fawkes28> it is always my color tongue
[16:26] <danae24> Yes!
[16:26] <danae24> it was weird........
[16:26] <Aislinn> I was wondering that too
[16:26] <mroberts731> what was that?
[16:27] <fawkes28> yes, that was strange
[16:27] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the space room?
[16:27] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> lol
[16:27] <danae24> I dont know....... maybe a room on the DoM......
[16:27] <Aislinn> I think it may be a room in the DoM, to show the weird stuff they see there
[16:27] <fawkes28> Several callers left messages about who/what turned them onto Harry Potter. There were some great calls…for example, Leaky Lounge and regular Corner Booth participant, cbm called about an interview with JKR getting him interested in the series. How did you come to be a Potter fan?
[16:27] <cbm> lol
[16:27] <fawkes28> woo hoo, cbm
[16:27] <fawkes28> i mean WOOT!!!
[16:27] <danae24> Woot!
[16:28] <danae24> yay!!!!! cbm got fawkes to say Woot!
[16:28] <fawkes28> laugh
[16:28] <danae24> I become an HP because of a dare
[16:28] <Aislinn> an article in the paper about this children's book that was really catching on by word of mouth was what got me interested
[16:29] <fawkes28> i worked in my college library and had nothing to do one day - and decided to read it but thought it would be stupid because of how popular it was
[16:29] <mroberts731> Rosie O'Donnel
[16:29] <danae24> I hated the HP books because it thought they were meant for little children, so my neighbour was really into them, and dared me to read them because I was teasing her about that
[16:29] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> ahhhh! i keep erasing my answer on accident!!!!
[16:29] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> 3 times!
[16:29] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> lol
[16:29] <danae24> so I read SS, and got instantly hooked.....
[16:29] <danae24> laugh
[16:29] <fawkes28> yes, most people thought they were just kids books
[16:30] <fawkes28> unfortunately, some people still do
[16:30] <danae24> yes.....
[16:30] <JaneMarple9> thats how i found it Danae - with PS on the radio one christmas
[16:30] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> basically: the early teaser trailer... my brother bought Harry Potter at the same time as Captain Underpants, so i didn't take HP seriously until i saw the really early teaser
[16:30] <mroberts731> I'll read anything, so the fact that they are widely considered children's books did not bother me
[16:30] <fawkes28> see, captain underpants was so publicized - i was afraid HP was going to be similar to that without any quality to it
[16:31] <JaneMarple9> I considered them kiddies books too. Seen a few reviews of them, but they looked to much like Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit
[16:31] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think the mindset of HP is stuck in the 8 - 13 zone
[16:31] <danae24> I had read other kid's books before, but since fantasy books arent really my type of reading material, I didnt feel appeal to them
[16:31] <Aislinn> me too mroberts
[16:31] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the fact that I was 15 when I started and am 22 now... really shows how the fandom isn't the same as it was when the craze began
[16:31] <Aislinn> I love fantasy, so that got me interested
[16:31] <JaneMarple9> yes i wasn't into fantasty either - I soon changed my mind!
[16:32] <fawkes28> KimmyBlair’s fan interview this week was with Angela, the architect of the infamous “time turner theory.” There is a lot of discussion about the plausibility of this theory, and now there are changes! It’s gotten really intricate! What do you think about the “time turner theory”?
[16:32] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i loved fantasy, so i knew i'd love it
[16:32] <danae24> almost the same here chocolate!
[16:32] *** stewiegryf has joined #lounge
[16:32] <fawkes28> i love this theory so much even though i dont think it will happen
[16:32] <cbm> But I think we can all agree, that once we were past the front cover we were hooked
[16:32] <Aislinn> don't like it
[16:32] <JaneMarple9> i don't like time tuners sad
[16:32] <fawkes28> hi stewie!
[16:32] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> me too fawkes
[16:32] <stewiegryf> hey hey!
[16:32] <JaneMarple9> too confusing
[16:32] <cbm> I do not like it either
[16:32] <danae24> I still dont like that theory
[16:32] <mroberts731> Same here Fawkes, I like the theory but doubt it will happen
[16:32] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it's a good story for a fan fiction, but i dont' know if i'd like it in canon
[16:32] <stewiegryf> Are we talking Angela's theory?
[16:32] <JaneMarple9> don't like time turners either laugh
[16:32] <fawkes28> i just thought it was so unique - different from the same arguments we hear all the time
[16:32] <fawkes28> yes, stewie
[16:33] <danae24> I agree with the fact that Harry has to find out what happened on Godric's Hollow on that night, but he wont time travel.....
[16:33] <mroberts731> It's impressive to see the level of imagination that is in the theories
[16:33] <stewiegryf> I think it's a great and inventive theory, but I don't think Jo would go that route.
[16:33] <fawkes28> i dont think Jo will do the same thing again - she has already used time turners and every book is different
[16:33] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i like the "it was time it was RETURNED to you" as if Harry had once owned it
[16:33] <JaneMarple9> he can take a dip in the pensieve instead
[16:33] <JaneMarple9> to see godric's hollow
[16:34] <danae24> I agree Jane
[16:34] <mroberts731> It's the time travel that bothers me about that theory, it seems sort of hokie
[16:34] <cbm> I agree JaneMarple, a pensieve is much more likely
[16:34] <JaneMarple9> time travels been done
[16:34] <mroberts731> I liked that point too Chocolate
[16:34] <danae24> I dont doubt that Jo may use the time-turners again, but it wont be used that way....
[16:34] <fawkes28> see, the problem with the theory is that it is not in harry's nature to just sit and watch
[16:34] <JaneMarple9> ok the pensieve's been done too...but it's more believable!
[16:34] <fawkes28> he would HAVE to intervene
[16:35] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> or he did already intervene ;)
[16:35] <mroberts731> If I was Harry I would have to intervent
[16:35] <stewiegryf> That was a good point chocolateisnotforbreakfast, but then it raises the question, if Harry wen back in time and gave himself the cloak, where did it come from in the first place?
[16:35] <mroberts731> *intervene
[16:35] <cbm> It has also been done in multiple books
[16:35] <fawkes28> Kimmy and Angela talk about Angela not liking the forum because she doesn’t want to influence her own opinion. What do you think about the forum? Do you enjoy the discussions on the boards? Why or why not?
[16:35] <mroberts731> the paradox cloak
[16:35] <danae24> and it would get even more intricate, the fact that he will affect in the past the outcome of the future...... it's too stereotipey for me...
[16:35] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it exists within the time loop smile
[16:35] <Aislinn> I think it's fascinating to read other people's opinions
[16:36] <mroberts731> Yes, I love discussion, especially shipping ones LOL
[16:36] <fawkes28> the lounge definitely influences opinions because it helps people grow and develop even deeper thoughts about the series
[16:36] <danae24> I like the forum because you get to complement your theories and read other really good ones
[16:36] <mroberts731> Yes, it brings out new ideas, makes me think
[16:36] <stewiegryf> I love the forums. There are a lot more creative people on here than me and I love to read fascinating theories.
[16:36] <fawkes28> i would not be the same type of fan if i just read the books on my own
[16:36] <cbm> I love the varied opinions, it makes me think when I see people who disagree with me, if I was on a board where everyone agreed with me I would learn nothing
[16:36] <danae24> and that doesnt mean that it will change completelly your point of view
[16:36] <fawkes28> exactly, danae
[16:36] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> I don't like when people state their theories as fact... it's sometimes hard to state your theory and have it shot down, not by canon, but by conjecture lol
[16:36] <mroberts731> I love to read a well thought out theory.
[16:37] <fawkes28> yes, i love when people challenge me on the boards - it helps me grow
[16:37] <mroberts731> I just read the theory about Harry and Hermione beings sibs, and while I don't agree with it, it was so fun to read
[16:37] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i love theorizing... it's the core of my HP obsession
[16:37] <danae24> Yes, that's why I love the RG's...... I get to learn new things and complement other theories I had....
[16:38] <fawkes28> and the Book Club is awesome too wink
[16:38] <danae24> It is!
[16:38] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> I sometimes don't like it when i feel like i have a completely original theory, but then realize that someone has already discussed it on the lounge... 2 years ago
[16:38] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> lol
[16:38] <fawkes28> Angela’s new theory about the person who will perform magic late in life…and that it’s Dudders. She brings up some interesting points as to why it could be Dudley who performs magic. What are your thoughts about this new and fascinating theory?
[16:38] <danae24> mmmmm............ I dont know what to think.....
[16:39] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i had heard people suggest Dudley before, but this is the first time i actually heard good arguments for it
[16:39] <danae24> I like parts of if, but others.... I dont know....
[16:39] <Aislinn> I seem to recall Jo saying that there is no more to Dudders than what we've seen
[16:39] <cbm> I think that petunia is more likely, but it could be dudly also
[16:39] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> she has, aislinn... which is the only reason why i think it's not him
[16:39] <mroberts731> I read a fanfic where it was Dudders and it was interesting
[16:39] <fawkes28> no, i think he is who he is - just a bump on the log
[16:39] <stewiegryf> She has Aislinn. I think at the WBD in 2004.
[16:39] <mroberts731> A great fic too
[16:39] <danae24> lol Fawkes!
[16:40] <stewiegryf> There's also a quote from CoS that says the Dursley's don't have a drop of magic in their blood, or something similar to that.
[16:40] <fawkes28> he is not trained and i dont even think he would accept his role either
[16:40] <danae24> somehow, when I first hear that, I thought that the one doing magic would be Mrs. Figg....... I dont know why, but she came to my mind....
[16:40] <cbm> Maybe dudley;s fear is that he is magical and that is what he saw when the dementors got him
[16:40] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> I think it'll be Sirius' great uncle, who was disowned because he is a squib... it'd be a good way to get info about RAB
[16:40] <mroberts731> I think when Dumbledore said the Dursleys had damaged Dudders he just meant that they spoiled him rotten
[16:41] <fawkes28> i think so too, danae
[16:41] <danae24> I agree with you mroberts731....
[16:41] <fawkes28> This week’s Canon Conundrum welcomes Steve VanderArk back! And they talk about…COVERS! They talked about the UK covers this week, but let’s talk about their discussion about the UK Adult cover. Why is the locket pictured significant? Is it a Horcrux?
[16:41] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> their theories are SO off of what i think lol
[16:41] <danae24> yes...
[16:41] <mroberts731> Ohhh, I have a theory on this that is probably not original but oh well.
[16:41] <cbm> I am sure that it is
[16:42] <fawkes28> let's hear it, mroberts731
[16:42] <mroberts731> oopps I jumped ahead its about the children's cover smile
[16:42] <fawkes28> it may be - but i dont find the UK adult cover all that interesting so i havent thought about it much
[16:42] <stewiegryf> I think the locket will play some role in the seventh book, sort of like the book did in HBP
[16:42] <danae24> it fits totally in the description of Slitherin's locket
[16:42] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think it's the original, just not entirely canon... it has an S, but to make the cover interesting, aesthetically, they gave it jewels
[16:42] <Aislinn> yes it does, danae
[16:43] <cbm> There is not much of a description of it in OotP, if it is the locket they could not open
[16:44] <fawkes28> Let's move onto the UK Childrens cover. Are the trio coming or going? Are they being sucked or pushed?
[16:44] <stewiegryf> Wasn't the original locket silver, and the one on the cover gold? Or am I mistaken?
[16:44] <cbm> I can argue it both ways, I am unsure
[16:44] <danae24> Nope, it's gold
[16:44] <mroberts731> Ok, so I was watching GoF and the portkey part made me think~
[16:44] <stewiegryf> Ahh, my mistake.
[16:44] <danae24> A heavy gold locket carrying Salazar Slytherin's mark (an ornate serpentine S) - Lexicon's description....
[16:44] <JaneMarple9> pushed
[16:44] <fawkes28> i thought they looked like they were coming
[16:45] <danae24> pushed
[16:45] <JaneMarple9> by a portkey at a guess
[16:45] <mroberts731> Perhaps they are coming from a portkey
[16:45] <fawkes28> really? you think she would do a portkey again?
[16:45] <stewiegryf> Falling into the foreground, but not necessarily pushed.
[16:45] <mroberts731> Why not?
[16:45] <JaneMarple9> ron and hermione certainly look startled while harry looks prepared
[16:46] <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.
[16:46] <JaneMarple9> they may have apparated too to cough*Gringots*cough
[16:46] <fawkes28> i just dont think she is going to repeat storylines more than once if she can help it
[16:46] <fawkes28> i think they may have gotten sucked into the vault at gringotts
[16:46] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it looks like they're going away from the audience
[16:46] <Aislinn> me too, fawkes
[16:47] <fawkes28> The Gringotts theory had never occurred to Steve. He thinks that Harry’s Journey might be more along the way of “Dungeons and Dragons”. What do you think? Are Harry, Ron and Hermione in Gringotts, or not?
[16:47] <danae24> it sound plausible
[16:47] <JaneMarple9> sounds painful!
[16:47] <mroberts731> I see what you mean fawkes, but I think she will use devices from the previous books, because its handy since we are familiar with them
[16:47] <danae24> I do think they are in Gringotts
[16:47] <JaneMarple9> in gringotts yes
[16:47] <JaneMarple9> or in ROR
[16:47] <Aislinn> gringotts is from the first book, and it seems likely they will revisit it
[16:47] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i don't think so... but it comes from personal preference of wanting them to go to lots of different new locations... we've been there, done that with gringotts
[16:47] <mroberts731> I think it
[16:47] <cbm> Gringotts is the best guess we have
[16:47] <stewiegryf> I think they are at Dawlish's house.
[16:47] <mroberts731> * it is Gringotts
[16:47] <JaneMarple9> yes Aislinn - full circle!
[16:47] *** jakebear24 has quit [Bye]
[16:48] <Aislinn> right, Jane
[16:48] <fawkes28> you made a nice point, mroberts731
[16:48] <danae24> laugh stewiegryf!!!!!
[16:48] <mroberts731> Lol stewie
[16:48] <fawkes28> but we will have to agree to disagree wink
[16:48] <JaneMarple9> you never know stewie!
[16:48] <mroberts731> sounds good fawkes
[16:48] <danae24> Dawlish is the owner of Chipotle, that's why he's rich!
[16:48] <fawkes28> i swear i did not write this next question laugh
[16:48] <fawkes28> Again, what’s on Harry’s back? Steve says that Goblins are “reddy”…as in, RED colored. In your opinion, what is it? Elf, Goblin, or other? Why?
[16:48] <cbm> Dobby is on Harry's back
[16:49] <fawkes28> it is a GOBLIN
[16:49] <mroberts731> see but now im thinking they got intov a vault in gringotts via portkey
[16:49] <danae24> it's a house elf
[16:49] <stewiegryf> House elf
[16:49] *** futureweasley has joined #lounge
[16:49] <fawkes28> hey fw
[16:49] <mroberts731> House elf
[16:49] <futureweasley> hi all
[16:49] <JaneMarple9> A ElfLin!!
[16:49] <stewiegryf> Ahh, future's here to tell us about the house elf on Harry's back.
[16:49] <fawkes28> future, your favorite question - goblin or elf?
[16:49] <fawkes28> no, she is not, stewie
[16:49] <cbm> Also from the original description of goblins, they have long fingers, those don't look that long to me
[16:49] <futureweasley> I would just likke to say that I think it's a goblin
[16:49] <JaneMarple9> cross between a Elf and Goblin laugh
[16:49] <futureweasley> but, am open to other possibilities
[16:49] <fawkes28> hahahha nice Jane
[16:50] <futureweasley> biggrin
[16:50] <danae24> it's a new breed
[16:50] <futureweasley> Gelf
[16:50] <fawkes28> they are at Gringotts with a goblin - i have already gone on record
[16:50] <futureweasley> Elin
[16:50] *** jakebear24 has joined #lounge
[16:50] <cbm> Dobby is free and helping harry
[16:50] <JaneMarple9> I still can't make up my mind.....could it be Griphook?
[16:50] <futureweasley> I agree with fawkes
[16:50] <stewiegryf> Gribby the Elin?
[16:50] <danae24> or.... it's Flickwick who has gone bald and has grown pointy ears
[16:50] <fawkes28> The trio appears battered and bruised. What did the trio go through prior to when this picture is taken?
[16:50] <futureweasley> I think that it IS a goblin
[16:50] <JaneMarple9> or Dobby? Or Kreacher!
[16:50] <mroberts731> A fight.
[16:51] <JaneMarple9> i think they have come from the weasley wedding
[16:51] <danae24> some sort of obstacle....
[16:51] <futureweasley> I think there must have been some obsticles on their way through the underground tunnels of Gringotts
[16:51] <Aislinn> fighting a dragon down in the caverns of gringotts
[16:51] <danae24> maybe a creature
[16:51] <mroberts731> Yeah, I agree Jane, those robes are nice, and Hermy's hair looks lovely
[16:51] <futureweasley> right Aislinn! I totally agree
[16:51] <JaneMarple9> something may have happened there - a DE attack, not a fight with percy biggrin
[16:51] <futureweasley> let us hope it wasn't our friend Norbert!
[16:51] <fawkes28> yes, i agree, Aislinn
[16:51] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think they look burned to me... and their clothes look like they're sort of warped, like thin fabric that's been singed and hardened
[16:51] <cbm> I am thinking it is the end of a quest to find a horcrux
[16:52] <ltbrave23> um, house-elf
[16:52] <futureweasley> maybe they are fresh wounds from the battle at the Burrow
[16:52] <JaneMarple9> well there are supposed to be dragons in gringotts
[16:52] <stewiegryf> I like the Gringott's dragon thing. It makes sense.
[16:52] <mroberts731> Oh the Burrow battle, famous in all fanfiction
[16:52] <Aislinn> it could be that too - they do look like they are in dress robes
[16:52] <futureweasley> lol mroberts
[16:52] <JaneMarple9> they may have run into one of Norbert's mates beforehand
[16:52] <danae24> hahahaha
[16:52] <mroberts731> I think that wedding day battle would be awesome
[16:53] <futureweasley> I personally don't believe there WILL be a battle at the burrow, but that's just me
[16:53] <fawkes28> There was a lot of interesting discussion about the covers. Where you persuaded to think something different after hearing this week’s Canon Conundrum? If so, what changed about your cover theory?
[16:53] <futureweasley> oh I hope not!
[16:53] <JaneMarple9> Battle at the Burrow smile sad
[16:53] <stewiegryf> Or maybe Hermione sent another peck of birds at Ron and they jsut went haywire
[16:53] <danae24> not much......I do like the "LV is the Giant Squid" theory
[16:53] <JaneMarple9> laugh stewie!
[16:53] <futureweasley> I was persuaded to back off my "GRIPHOOK" stance a teeny tiny bit
[16:53] <mroberts731> Ah. stewie! then tey were definetly at the wedding
[16:53] <futureweasley> but I still think it's goblins
[16:53] <fawkes28> nope, my cover theories are still the same
[16:54] <cbm> I was not swayed, but I did laugh quite a bit, I missed the Enterprise
[16:54] <JaneMarple9> not heard the canon condrum yet
[16:54] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think fire is going to be a huge deal... one of my favorite theories is that the Deathly Hallows are magical fires, akin to the tradition of bonfire night, that cleanse evil, either by destroying a horcrux or keeping inferi at bay on a large scale
[16:54] <futureweasley> may the schwartz be with you, cbm
[16:54] <JaneMarple9> but they sound interesring
[16:54] <stewiegryf> I wasn't swayed either, but I'm still open to new ideas.
[16:54] <fawkes28> cbm - they didnt sway you to pick goblin?
[16:54] <cbm> No
[16:54] <fawkes28> that is a shame
[16:54] <mroberts731> I'm still with house elf
[16:54] <fawkes28> A preview of the Wizards and Muggles rock for social justice CD was on the show this week! Proceeds from the CD will help to fund the Harry Potter Alliance, and can be purchased at www.myspace.com/cheaprent. So, what did you think about the song?
[16:55] <danae24> It had me in stiches!!!!!!!!!
[16:55] <futureweasley> I thought it was INSANE! I really liked it!
[16:55] <mroberts731> Have to go all, it's been fun!!
[16:55] <futureweasley> but then again, I generally love Wizard Rock
[16:55] <danae24> it was great!!! that's why I love Draco and the Malfoy's
[16:55] <futureweasley> bye mroberts
[16:55] <mroberts731> Bye!
[16:55] <stewiegryf> Haven't heard it yet, but will definitely listen. Loves me some WizRock.
[16:55] <futureweasley> I am partial to The Remus Lupins, but I do love me some Draco and the Malfoys!
[16:56] <futureweasley> LOL Stewie
[16:56] *** mroberts731 has quit [Bye]
[16:56] <futureweasley> great minds
[16:56] <fawkes28> draco and the malfoys are awesome - i just saw them play last weekend
[16:56] <futureweasley> woot for Wizard Rock
[16:56] <futureweasley> they kick asphodel and wormwood!
[16:56] <danae24> hahahaha
[16:56] <futureweasley> ok, that was lame...sorry
[16:56] <stewiegryf> hahaha
[16:56] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i haven't really gotten into the wizard rock side of things lol
[16:56] <JaneMarple9> not into wizard rock! Don't do music much!
[16:56] <danae24> Wizard rock rules!
[16:57] <futureweasley> oh Jane, you are missing out on a whole new, different and exciting side of the fandom
[16:57] <futureweasley> !!!!
[16:57] <stewiegryf> Now all I need is for some more wizard rock action to come out to Northern California. They always just go down south. sad
[16:57] <fawkes28> Get your theories IN! The Leaky Predictions quiz is available at http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#quiz:10. Have you taken the quiz? What are your thoughts?
[16:57] <futureweasley> I love the predictions quiz
[16:58] <futureweasley> it is near and dear to my ickle staffer heart
[16:58] <fawkes28> yup, already taken - but i will need to change one of my answers on it angel_not
[16:58] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it was great once they fixed it smile I really hope I'm close!
[16:58] <JaneMarple9> yes i have
[16:58] <danae24> I had taken it......... and I appear to be one of the few people that think that Harry will die....
[16:58] <cbm> I liked it!
[16:58] <stewiegryf> It was a great idea. I'm just having a hard time deciding what prize I will be taking.
[16:58] <JaneMarple9> they were great fun
[16:58] *** ltbrave23 left #lounge []
[16:58] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha
[16:58] <Aislinn> Mr. M is with you on that thought, danae
[16:58] <fawkes28> oh, danae - Mr. M would agree with you
[16:58] <futureweasley> I was having issues with some of the questions, because I don't know how I feel about the topic!
[16:58] <JaneMarple9> have tremendous difficulty with Snape ones sad
[16:58] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> right, future... i wish some were short answer lol
[16:58] <danae24> there are some really hard ones!
[16:59] <futureweasley> I sat there and contemplated for hours....siriusly
[16:59] <stewiegryf> I just had to go with my gut on the hard ones and trust my instincts.
[16:59] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the one time i wish a test was an essay test instead of multiple choice
[16:59] <cbm> I did mine in 10 minutes
[16:59] <JaneMarple9> i spend a lot of time in unfogging so some were quite easy smile
[16:59] <cbm> I should go back and look
[16:59] <futureweasley> of course you did, cbm...you know where you stand on most of the topics! AND you are an overachiever
[16:59] <futureweasley> two very good things
[16:59] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> yeah, i've got a pretty good idea of what i think might or might not happen
[17:00] <stewiegryf> And you think its an elf, so you can do no wrong. smile
[17:00] <danae24> hahahaha
[17:00] <fawkes28> Time is up, unfortunately. Thanks for coming to the chat! smile
[17:00] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> just looking back, i know that it's almost impossible to predict what might happen, so most things are "no" for me... but a couple are "yesses"
[17:00] <cbm> No, I just went with the 1st thing that came to my mind
[17:00] <futureweasley> this was a lot of fun! I love chatting at work
[17:00] <Aislinn> see you all next time smile
[17:00] <stewiegryf> Bye all!

Moderators: Aislinn
Mr. McGonagall
http://www.leakylounge.com/Expelliarmas-m36461.html

[19:54] *** MrMcGonagall has joined #lounge
[20:00] *** dracoloveroftheworld has joined #lounge
[20:00] <dracoloveroftheworld> his is specia;
[20:00] <MrMcGonagall> Hi, Dracolover!
[20:00] <dracoloveroftheworld> hi
[20:01] <MrMcGonagall> Did you enjoy PotterCast this week?
[20:01] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes i did very much so i especially enJoyed wendsdsys how bout you?
[20:02] <MrMcGonagall> There was quite a bit of news, what with the trailer being released.
[20:02] <dracoloveroftheworld> yeah i was so happuy i drove my friend manda crazy about it
[20:03] <MrMcGonagall> I'm really anxious for the film now.
[20:03] <dracoloveroftheworld> dito
[20:03] <MrMcGonagall> Well, I was already pretty anxious!
[20:03] <Expelliarmas> me not so much
[20:03] <dracoloveroftheworld> how
[20:03] <dracoloveroftheworld> better yet why
[20:05] <MrMcGonagall> I think this may be the best movie of the lot.
[20:05] <Aislinn> i hope so, Mr M
[20:05] <Aislinn> the spoilers are certainly exciting
[20:05] <Expelliarmas> considering the dubious quality of the last two ...
[20:06] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, Expie.
[20:06] <dracoloveroftheworld> i simply dont comprehend how one can not be extatic about it i mean my friends an anime freak and so shes not so much into harry potter but shes even excited about it.
[20:06] *** Raldan has joined #lounge
[20:06] <Expelliarmas> I worry about what they will eave out and include for this movie
[20:07] <Aislinn> hi raldan
[20:07] <Raldan> Hi everyone.
[20:07] <dracoloveroftheworld> no what i hear is gonna happen os that sirius's part will be tiny
[20:07] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I'm mostly a book fan, but I do appreciate it when the moviemakers don't make a complete disaster out of it.
[20:07] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea.
[20:07] <Expelliarmas> if only the directors would read the books ...
[20:07] <dracoloveroftheworld> out of like all of them yhe 1st 2 were the best b/c it wasnt totally screwed up.
[20:08] <Aislinn> this one seems to care more about the story, at least from what I've seen in interviews
[20:08] <dracoloveroftheworld> thats good. ill be madd if the mess it up.
[20:08] <MrMcGonagall> and character development.
[20:08] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea
[20:08] <Expelliarmas> the first two books had less to mess up
[20:09] <MrMcGonagall> If Yates can make a DD out of Gambon, he's got my vote for the next director.
[20:09] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes.
[20:09] <Aislinn> absolutely
[20:09] <Expelliarmas> (gambon is too short to be DD)
[20:09] <dracoloveroftheworld> gambon is a bad dd.
[20:09] <MrMcGonagall> Clever camera work can fix that, Expie. LOL
[20:09] <Expelliarmas> too late for clever camera work, i'm afraid
[20:10] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea, but he doesnt like have the old look
[20:10] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, we already know he's a munchkin.
[20:10] <Raldan> He'll never look tall enough
[20:10] <dracoloveroftheworld> okay then
[20:10] <dracoloveroftheworld> no what bugs me is how they messed up harry's eyes.
[20:10] <Aislinn> We will be starting the discussion in a few minutes. You're not going to be able to type for a few minutes while we make some announcements, please bear with us, you'll be able to type again soon.

[20:11] <Aislinn> While its easy to drift off in various directions, let's all try to have a fun chat by sticking to the topic for today. OK, moving on to the topic for the chat!
[20:11] <MrMcGonagall> Welcome to the Corner Booth! Today, we will be discussing the most recent episode of PotterCast, which you can direct download at www.pottercast.com
[20:11] <MrMcGonagall> In PotterCast #86 (The Voldy Wears Prada) – There are exciting announcements about PotterCast and LeakyMug this summer, The PC trio has a little trailer talk (jokes abound), a theory is dissected, several new theories are born, another cover-probing discussion and much, much more!
[20:12] <MrMcGonagall> Ready to dive into discussion? Good, here we go:
[20:12] <MrMcGonagall> Announcements galore! PotterCast and LeakyMug will be hitting the Potter Conventions this summer! Will you be able to see a live podcast this summer?

[20:12] <dracoloveroftheworld> maybe?
[20:12] <MrMcGonagall> I will be there for Prophecy in toronto
[20:12] <dracoloveroftheworld> really, cool
[20:13] <Raldan> probably not.
[20:13] <Expelliarmas> I could see it in Prophecy, but I likely won't. That is an audio media and meant to be heard, not seen
[20:13] <dracoloveroftheworld> coool
[20:13] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I'm not really sure what the attraction is of "watching" a podcast.
[20:13] <Expelliarmas> I can always catch a replay. Too much to do which isn't on a replay.
[20:14] <dracoloveroftheworld> i dont understand that either
[20:14] <MrMcGonagall> Maybe it's the opportunity to participate as an audience member, maybe ask a question, that attracts people.
[20:14] <Expelliarmas> well, it gives the fangirls something to do
[20:14] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes it does.
[20:14] <MrMcGonagall> True, Expie! LOL
[20:14] <Expelliarmas> and squeee about
[20:14] <dracoloveroftheworld> i would do it if i could
[20:14] <MrMcGonagall> I would squee for Sue.
[20:14] <dracoloveroftheworld> me too.
[20:15] <Raldan> I can type squeee, but thats about it
[20:15] <MrMcGonagall> I can't get nearly as high-pitched as Sue, but that's probably a good thing.
[20:15] <MrMcGonagall> “Who are you, and what have you done with Hermione Granger?” The trailers are out for Order of the Phoenix movie!! What was your favorite part of the new trailers that have been released?
[20:15] <dracoloveroftheworld> probally
[20:15] <Expelliarmas> i'd worry if you gave a high-pitched squeee
[20:15] <Aislinn> I loved that line
[20:15] <dracoloveroftheworld> y>?
[20:16] <Aislinn> and I'm excited to see the twins' exit and fireworks display
[20:16] <Aislinn> that looks like it's going to be lots of fun
[20:16] <Raldan> that looked great
[20:16] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I like the look of the films immensely.
[20:16] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea
[20:16] <Expelliarmas> well, giving the twins a chance to create mayhem is a good thing
[20:16] *** chocolateisnotforbreakfast has joined #lounge
[20:17] *** Joyhawk2121 has joined #lounge
[20:17] <MrMcGonagall> The special effects for magic look much more how I imagined them in reading.
[20:17] <dracoloveroftheworld> mayem, is good for them.
[20:17] <Raldan> hi choc and joy
[20:17] <MrMcGonagall> More so than any other film.
[20:17] <Expelliarmas> i wonder if they will give the twins the havoc which would have been done by peeves
[20:17] <Joyhawk2121> Hello Everyone
[20:17] <dracoloveroftheworld> they should, no they should get peeves in it,.
[20:17] <Aislinn> hi Joyhawk2121
[20:17] <Expelliarmas> heya, cinfb and joyhawk
[20:17] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hey! what's the question?
[20:17] <MrMcGonagall> “Who are you, and what have you done with Hermione Granger?” The trailers are out for Order of the Phoenix movie!! What was your favorite part of the new trailers that have been released?
[20:17] <Expelliarmas> well, peeves hasn't been in any of the movies except for a mention in SS/PS
[20:18] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> was he mentioned??
[20:18] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes, but he is entertaining
[20:18] <Expelliarmas> briefly mentioned i think by percy
[20:18] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i don't even remember that
[20:18] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes, bruiefly, incredibly briefly
[20:18] <MrMcGonagall> I loved Umbridge striding through the hall, breaking up a PDA in flagrante delicto.
[20:18] <Aislinn> I'm surprised that we get to see Azkaban
[20:18] <Expelliarmas> in any even, it would be likely that fred/george would get to do peeves' mayhem
[20:18] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha me too mrm
[20:19] <Aislinn> that was funny Mr M
[20:19] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, I'm surprised they put that in there, Aislinn.
[20:19] <dracoloveroftheworld> that could be funny.
[20:19] <Expelliarmas> *event
[20:19] <dracoloveroftheworld> no it would be.
[20:19] <dracoloveroftheworld> ?
[20:19] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> I'm just excited about the whole thing...
[20:19] <MrMcGonagall> For some reason, the scene with Umbridge on some sort of balcony caught my eye. Very Evita.
[20:19] *** phoenix42 has joined #lounge
[20:20] <Expelliarmas> welcome back, phoenix42
[20:20] <dracoloveroftheworld> welcome

[20:20] <dracoloveroftheworld> hey
[20:20] <Expelliarmas> it'd better be good
[20:20] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea it better
[20:21] <etnutter> Hello Aislinn and all
[20:21] *** Aislinn has quit [Bye]
[20:21] *** Aislinn has joined #lounge
[20:21] <Expelliarmas> heya, etnutter
[20:21] <Joyhawk2121> I hope it has a lot of action
[20:21] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea, and of course tlking
[20:21] <MrMcGonagall> Several callers left messages about who/what turned them onto Harry Potter. There were some great calls…for example, Leaky Lounge and regular Corner Booth participant, cbm called about an interview with JKR getting him interested in the series. How did you come to be a Potter fan?
[20:21] <etnutter> Atmosphere.....
[20:21] <dracoloveroftheworld> like dd trying to explain to lv how thwere r worse things then death
[20:22] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the first teaser trailer got me interested - right after GoF... the worst time to join the fandom... SUCH a long wait!!
[20:22] <MrMcGonagall> I enjoyed hearing cbm's voice.
[20:22] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea
[20:22] <phoenix42> I decided to read what kids I worked with were reading, so I could relate to them. I was glad it was so popular
[20:22] <Aislinn> I read an article about this children's book that was really becoming popular by word of mouth, and the fact it was a fantasy intrigued me
[20:22] <etnutter> I was intrigued by all the kids at my door in HP garb in the fall of 1999....when my son was born I wanted to be up on things so I strarted in summer 2000 ona flight to Germany
[20:22] <Raldan> Was originally a skeptical parent until I saw the movie. Then got sucked in.
[20:22] <Expelliarmas> I only got into it after seeing the first, incredibly long movie
[20:22] <MrMcGonagall> I got into the books after seeing the first film.
[20:22] <Joyhawk2121> I saw the movies first then decided to read the books
[20:23] <dracoloveroftheworld> i got into the books when they were forced upon me,.
[20:23] <Expelliarmas> then I read the books, and listened to the Jim Dale audiobooks and that was that
[20:23] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha dracolover
[20:23] <etnutter> Never have put it down. When I re-read the books now it takes me back to the hectic times of being a new parent
[20:23] <dracoloveroftheworld> well its true, now my friends think im pathertic.
[20:23] <Joyhawk2121> How are the audiobooks?
[20:23] <etnutter> I read them in a way how JKR wrote them....jouncing a bassinett at a diner
[20:23] <dracoloveroftheworld> really?
[20:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> oh friends... they don't understand... unless you convert them
[20:24] <MrMcGonagall> I like that, etnutter.
[20:24] <phoenix42> I never really appreciated an audio book until listening to Jim Dale. He is fascinating. I listen to them when I work out instead of listening to music
[20:24] <MrMcGonagall> Me too, phoenix42
[20:24] <etnutter> Every re-read is like a flashback
[20:24] <Raldan> Yes, Jim Dale does a great job!
[20:24] <dracoloveroftheworld> i listen to them in the car
[20:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i don't have the Chamber of Secrets on audio... i swear it'sbeen a year since i've read it though
[20:24] <Aislinn> I agree - Jim Dale is great
[20:25] <MrMcGonagall> KimmyBlair’s fan interview this week was with Angela, the architect of the infamous “time turner theory.” There is a lot of discussion about the plausibility of this theory, and now there are changes! It’s gotten really intricate! What do you think about the “time turner theory”?
[20:25] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> because now i only listen to the audio tapes
[20:25] <dracoloveroftheworld> i onl;y rent them
[20:25] <etnutter> Seven years later now my son has taken the challenge to read Sorc Stone by the time the new book comes out. If he succeeds he gets to come to the party at our local bookstore on 7/21
[20:25] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hey! family is here to visit!
[20:25] <Aislinn> I don't like the time turner theory
[20:25] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i gotta go - good chat!
[20:25] *** chocolateisnotforbreakfast has quit [Bye]
[20:25] <Expelliarmas> I hate the time turner theory; Jo has been there, done that, got the t-shirt, and sent the postcard.
[20:25] <Raldan> bye choc
[20:25] <etnutter> I think it is going to happen
[20:25] <dracoloveroftheworld> me too
[20:26] <phoenix42> I don't really care for time turner theory either
[20:26] <Raldan> It sounds like a cheat to me.
[20:26] <MrMcGonagall> I positively loathe time turner theories.
[20:26] <dracoloveroftheworld> it sounds odd
[20:26] <etnutter> I think it will happen and Jo Rowling with make it awesome.....keep the faith
[20:26] <Expelliarmas> I f Jo sticks more time travel in there, that would cheapen the series
[20:26] <dracoloveroftheworld> it would.
[20:26] <etnutter> Not the way she will do it...Expeliarmas
[20:26] <Aislinn> I just don't get what the point is for Harry to go back, since he can't change anything back then.
[20:26] <MrMcGonagall> Yes, been there, done that.
[20:26] <etnutter> Trust her no matter what is on deck
[20:27] <etnutter> She can pull itoff.
[20:27] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea, whats he gonna do save his parents, sirius or dd>?
[20:27] <Aislinn> oh, I have complete confidence in Jo, no matter what she does
[20:27] <Expelliarmas> The point was made that trying to change events creates even more ramifications. She destroyed the time turners on purpose, and yet people keep harping on it
[20:27] <etnutter> He will figure out what happened and how to get it to happen again
[20:27] <dracoloveroftheworld> i just hope she doesnt time travel
[20:27] <dracoloveroftheworld> true
[20:27] <etnutter> I think the Deer on the UK cover is not his patronus but James
[20:27] <MrMcGonagall> I think the past will be important, but Harry isn't physically going to be travelling there.
[20:27] <Aislinn> why would he have to get it to happen again, when it has happened?
[20:27] <etnutter> Because he goes back in time and meets him
[20:27] <dracoloveroftheworld> he shouldnt.
[20:28] <phoenix42> actually, I have been going through the greiving process before this book comes out, so I am finally at acceptance of whatever may happen, including dealing with the deaths I may not like
[20:28] <dracoloveroftheworld> he needs to learn form past m,istakes but that s it.
[20:28] <etnutter> He needs to really understand what love did the first itme
[20:28] <etnutter> time
[20:28] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes, it saved him.
[20:28] <Expelliarmas> Jo has made a point of saying death is not changeable. Why would Harry go back to save his parents, Sirius, or DD? That would cheapen the finality of death which Jo has taken great pains to emphasize.
[20:28] <etnutter> Does anyone understand what happened? no....so JKR will show us
[20:28] <Raldan> could harry get more info from the pensieve in an unusual way?
[20:29] <etnutter> He will not save....he will Learn
[20:29] <dracoloveroftheworld> no i dont think so
[20:29] <dracoloveroftheworld> oh yea that makes sense
[20:29] <etnutter> And finally see, touch feel know his parents for a brief poignant moment
[20:29] <Expelliarmas> he can use a pensieve to learn, I get the feeling DD preserved memories of that event from someone
[20:29] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes,
[20:29] <etnutter> Nothing like hands on first person being there Expelliarmas, no?
[20:29] <Raldan> maybe the pensieve has a backup somewhere smile
[20:30] <dracoloveroftheworld> what do u mean?
[20:30] <Raldan> Memories are put into the pensieve and left there
[20:30] <Raldan> long shot
[20:30] <dracoloveroftheworld> oh.
[20:30] <phoenix42> if Harry does go back in time, it could help him figure out what to do based on what happened
[20:30] <Expelliarmas> On Planet Expie, someone was there at Godric's Hollow and saw what happened
[20:30] <etnutter> I was wondering if Pheonixes can travel through time - does away wiht the need for a turner
[20:30] <Expelliarmas> DD preserved that memory
[20:30] <MrMcGonagall> I live on Planet Expie, too.
[20:30] <etnutter> And they are reletive to the invis cloak
[20:31] <Expelliarmas> Planet Expie is a hip/happening place
[20:31] <dracoloveroftheworld> but he cant use the timeturners cause they r destoryed, and fawx like disappeared
[20:31] <etnutter> And Harry is due to get a new pet......
[20:31] <Expelliarmas> yes, that would be the person hiding under the invisibility cloak
[20:31] <MrMcGonagall> Kimmy and Angela talk about Angela not liking the forum because she doesn’t want to influence her own opinion. What do you think about the forum? Do you enjoy the discussions on the boards? Why or why not?
[20:31] <dracoloveroftheworld> wait there was someone there?
[20:31] <Aislinn> I think it's fascinating to hear other people's opinions on things
[20:31] <Expelliarmas> I very much enjoy the discussions in the forums
[20:31] <dracoloveroftheworld> me to.
[20:32] <Expelliarmas> and debates
[20:32] <MrMcGonagall> If one's theories can be so easily influenced, then they probably should stay away from argument.
[20:32] <etnutter> Totally enjoy forum and ideas - I never would have delved into the alchemy and tarot stuff which has proven invaluable to the depth of enjoying the stories
[20:32] <Joyhawk2121> I enjoy the forums too
[20:32] <Aislinn> good point, Mr M
[20:32] <dracoloveroftheworld> they r fun
[20:32] <Raldan> It helps me fill in the gaps, and I enjoy all the ideas
[20:32] <etnutter> I do get confused between my own theories and great ones from others....it is a little seductive that way
[20:32] <Expelliarmas> what's the point of having a theory if you can't defend it?
[20:32] <dracoloveroftheworld> theres non
[20:32] <MrMcGonagall> I love reading about different ideas on the forums, eeven when I disagree with the poster.
[20:32] <dracoloveroftheworld> me too
[20:32] <etnutter> Einstien only shared his theory when it was .....perfect. That is the motive I think
[20:33] <Expelliarmas> Angela can't have much of an opinion if she fears discussing it
[20:33] <phoenix42> I do enjoy the forums and appreciate all the people who put time and research into various theories. It's not something I have time to do but I do benefit from them. I'm usually in awe of what people come up with
[20:33] <dracoloveroftheworld> really i think that every theory has flaws
[20:33] *** sdcurtis has joined #lounge
[20:33] <dracoloveroftheworld> but i cant test mine out cause my friends look at me funny
[20:33] <Aislinn> well, none of us are the author, so we're all just making our best guesses
[20:33] <Raldan> We can I think that theory id flawed...
[20:33] <MrMcGonagall> True, Aislinn.
[20:34] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea true aislinn
[20:34] <Aislinn> hi sdcurtis
[20:34] <Expelliarmas> well, come to the forums draco and you'll find friends as funny as you are ...
[20:34] *** janieb has joined #lounge
[20:34] <sdcurtis> hello
[20:34] <Raldan> Hi
[20:34] <etnutter> I like the notion that maybe, just maybe, I am thinking her thoughts.......know what I mean? Not in a psycho way but in a .....good way.
[20:34] <MrMcGonagall> Angela’s new theory about the person who will perform magic late in life…and that it’s Dudders. She brings up some interesting points as to why it could be Dudley who performs magic. What are your thoughts about this new and fascinating theory?
[20:34] <dracoloveroftheworld> i have been there kinda.
[20:34] <Expelliarmas> heya, curtis and janieb
[20:34] <MrMcGonagall> I thought Jo shot this down, actually.
[20:34] <dracoloveroftheworld> yea i did too,
[20:34] <sdcurtis> Yeah she did
[20:35] <dracoloveroftheworld> i have heard we learn a secret bout petunia
[20:35] <phoenix42> hearing Dudley is just Dudley without much backstory is enough to shoot it down for me.
[20:35] <janieb> hello
[20:35] <dracoloveroftheworld> hello
[20:35] <Expelliarmas> my thought is that this is not a new and fascinating theory
[20:35] <Aislinn> Jo said there is no more to Dudders than we have seen
[20:35] <Raldan> Wouldn't he have gotten an invite to Hogwarts?
[20:35] <dracoloveroftheworld> that is a very good thought
[20:35] <etnutter> I am getting dubious about JKR shooting things down..... I think she really does find herself backed into a corner and has to be a little misleading....even though she says she doesn't....I think somethimes it just has to happen. She is not DD, she is a human being defending her story
[20:35] <MrMcGonagall> Exactly, Raldan.
[20:35] <dracoloveroftheworld> he should have
[20:35] <sdcurtis> actually it never crossed my mind because of the name
[20:35] <etnutter> So I do think it is Dudley too.....it makes the most sense....who would care if it were filch?
[20:36] <Aislinn> have you seen her say something that has turned out not to be true, etnutter?
[20:36] <Expelliarmas> I think it's Mrs. Figg
[20:36] <Aislinn> I've seen her say she can't answer something, but not say something that turns out not to be true
[20:36] <dracoloveroftheworld> it should be cause then it would prove that she's not completly a squib
[20:36] <MrMcGonagall> I think it might be trelawney, although we have in fact seen her do very minimal magic.
[20:36] <etnutter> I am dubious about the twins at the quiddich cup and about Dudley being just dudley
[20:36] <Expelliarmas> If Jo, who is the goddess of the Potterverse who controls the Potterverse, says no it's not dudley. Then it isn't dudley
[20:37] <dracoloveroftheworld> it is probaly mrs. figg
[20:37] <etnutter> She didn't Exactly say that though, she says dudley is just as he seems
[20:37] <MrMcGonagall> Hear, hear, Expie.
[20:37] <etnutter> or something like that
[20:37] <Expelliarmas> I would love for Mrs. Figg to have a go at mundungus with more than cat tins ...
[20:37] <dracoloveroftheworld> that would be entertaining
[20:37] <sdcurtis> that would be fun
[20:37] <Joyhawk2121> lol..me too Expir
[20:37] <dracoloveroftheworld> and funny
[20:37] <Raldan> Although cat tins would work for me
[20:37] <Expelliarmas> well, Dudley seems like he has the magical ability of dirt, so I don't think it is him
[20:37] <Joyhawk2121> Expiell
[20:38] <dracoloveroftheworld> but magic would be funny
[20:38] <sdcurtis> although with magic you could have multiple cat tins at once
[20:38] <Joyhawk2121> sorry cab't type tonight
[20:38] <phoenix42> I would like to see Mrs. Figg to do something to help when Harry is getting ready to leave privet drive
[20:38] <Expelliarmas> so would I, phoenix42
[20:38] <dracoloveroftheworld> thats why, and you could make them hit him without actually moving
[20:38] <Raldan> You could have tin cats! sorry...
[20:38] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes
[20:38] <etnutter> It is Dudley, I think
[20:38] <etnutter> Makes the most sense
[20:38] <phoenix42> funny raldan
[20:38] <MrMcGonagall> Jo has always said that a person is either magical or they are not, and if they are, it seems like they should have received an invite to Hogwarts.
[20:38] <dracoloveroftheworld> no she shot that down, and he is like ick
[20:39] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes, figg is magical just squib
[20:39] <Aislinn> womeone asked her if there was more to Dudley than meets the eye, and her answer was No.
[20:39] <etnutter> That is the pact that Petunia made - no Dudley at HOgwarts and harry can stay
[20:39] <Aislinn> just looked it up
[20:39] <MrMcGonagall> This week’s Canon Conundrum welcomes Steve VanderArk back! And they talk about…COVERS! They talked about the UK covers this week, but let’s talk about their discussion about the UK Adult cover. Why is the locket pictured significant? Is it a Horcrux?
[20:39] <dracoloveroftheworld> its probbely the real one.
[20:40] <Aislinn> it seems likely it is the Horcrux
[20:40] <sdcurtis> I think that it is the real one
[20:40] <dracoloveroftheworld> which i think was the locket that was thrown out when sirius was house cleaning
[20:40] <Expelliarmas> I'm pretty sure, but there might be some doubt somewhere in the universe, that the locket is, in fact, a horcrux
[20:40] <janieb> it has a snake
[20:40] <etnutter> Its the horcrux or at least a artistic rendering of what it could look like
[20:40] <dracoloveroftheworld> i think it is the one that was thrown out, b/c RAB could be regulaous black
[20:41] <phoenix42> I think it is the real one and I liked the idea that Harry saves the locket part to show Voldemort he has destroyed all the horcruxes and this is why Voldemort looks fearful on the cover.
[20:41] <Expelliarmas> funny, I just thought LV looked creepy
[20:41] <dracoloveroftheworld> he does look creepy
[20:42] <Joyhawk2121> he is creepy
[20:42] <Aislinn> I think he looks fearful too phoenix42
[20:42] <dracoloveroftheworld> fearful and creepy
[20:42] <phoenix42> well maybe I'm just hoping he is fearful, thanks Aislinn
[20:42] <Expelliarmas> I think you guys might be projecting
[20:42] <dracoloveroftheworld> like how?
[20:42] <Expelliarmas> he has no human features left, how can he look fearful
[20:42] <phoenix42> he always looks creepy. Everytime I rewatch GOF I think how creepy he is
[20:42] <Aislinn> his expression looks like one of consternation, while Harry's looks hopeful
[20:43] <phoenix42> I agree Aislinn
[20:43] <Expelliarmas> he might have had U No Poo
[20:43] <dracoloveroftheworld> and he has hatred in his eyes
[20:43] <etnutter> I thought Harry looks more determined than hopeful
[20:43] <dracoloveroftheworld> determined and hopeful.
[20:43] <phoenix42> determined, hopeful, confident, assured
[20:43] <etnutter> Subtle difference?
[20:43] <dracoloveroftheworld> scared
[20:43] <MrMcGonagall> The UK childrens' cover: The Gringotts theory had never occurred to Steve. He thinks that Harry’s Journey might be more along the way of “Dungeons and Dragons”. What do you think? Are Harry, Ron and Hermione in Gringotts, or not?
[20:44] <Aislinn> I can't believe that Steven hadn't thought of gringott's
[20:44] <dracoloveroftheworld> ?
[20:44] <Aislinn> It seems so possible to me
[20:44] <dracoloveroftheworld> what gringotts theory?
[20:44] <sdcurtis> I think it's possible
[20:44] <dracoloveroftheworld> haent heard that one
[20:44] <MrMcGonagall> I'll admit it's possibility, but I'm not so sure they're in Gringott's myself.
[20:44] <etnutter> I like Gringots because I think the Weasley family are helping out in sort of a Gringots bank heist....it would be very ironic....Charlie handls the dragons, Bill is the safe cracker....Twins are like Q outfitting the team......etc
[20:44] <Aislinn> the kids on the cover of the children's UK book look like they are in front of a vault
[20:45] <dracoloveroftheworld> what theory?
[20:45] <Aislinn> at gringotts
[20:45] <dracoloveroftheworld> oh, thankyou.
[20:45] <Aislinn> and that they are being pulled/sucked back into it
[20:45] <Expelliarmas> I don't know that they're at gringotts. But where else would they be with so much loot?
[20:45] <dracoloveroftheworld> oh.
[20:45] <MrMcGonagall> Except it's really just an arch. It could be a lot of things. Just because there's treasure doesn't mean it's Gringott's.
[20:45] <etnutter> Oceans eleven becomes the Horcrux 7
[20:45] <Aislinn> yes, the treasure, the circular door behind them - it looks like a door, not an arch
[20:45] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes, it could be another lpace
[20:45] <sdcurtis> It looks to bright to be a Gringotts vault
[20:45] <Expelliarmas> maybe they are in the Chamber of Secrets ...
[20:45] <dracoloveroftheworld> but they cant get in
[20:45] <phoenix42> I sometimes wonder if there are many different aspects of the book on covers and it's not just one place.
[20:46] <MrMcGonagall> I wonder that too, phoenix.
[20:46] <Aislinn> I think that they are looking at a dragon, as they get pulled into the vault
[20:46] <dracoloveroftheworld> me too, like the american ones are okay, but i like the uk ones better.
[20:46] <Aislinn> I don't think we've seen that be the case with previous covers
[20:46] <etnutter> I like the US the most
[20:46] <Aislinn> that they have different aspects
[20:46] <dracoloveroftheworld> what do u meann?
[20:46] <sdcurtis> no it's usually a specific scene
[20:46] <Expelliarmas> i think the covers tend to be rather accurate
[20:47] <Aislinn> Only 15 minutes left, everyone! This has been a great chat! I want to remind you all that this transcript can be found at the PotterCast Forum http://www.leakylounge.com/PotterCast-f104.html.
[20:47] <dracoloveroftheworld> yes
[20:47] <MrMcGonagall> There was a lot of interesting discussion about the covers. Where you persuaded to think something different after hearing this week’s Canon Conundrum? If so, what changed about your cover theory?
[20:47] <etnutter> US is like a symbolic painting where the UK cover is a snanpshot of a scene
[20:47] <Expelliarmas> My thoughts haven't changed since the last PC episode which featured the covers
[20:47] <Aislinn> apparently the US cover will be discussed in next week's podcast
[20:47] <dracoloveroftheworld> which is better, cause it cause you to have to think,
[20:47] <Aislinn> this week was all about the UK ones
[20:47] <dracoloveroftheworld> like, thinl about what scene could this be
[20:48] <etnutter> I decided that it is not the starship enterprise.....and that the STag is really James due to the reddish fur color (fawn color)
[20:48] <dracoloveroftheworld> im proud of you?
[20:48] <etnutter> And I got intrigued by the symbol on the spine.....I think it is geometry symbols for squaring the circle...
[20:48] <MrMcGonagall> Steve didn't really influence my opinion on anything this time 'round. LOL
[20:48] <dracoloveroftheworld> wow, im confuzled
[20:49] <sdcurtis> My mind has gone to mush when discussing the covers
[20:49] <dracoloveroftheworld> mine too.
[20:49] <Expelliarmas> it's too late for Steve to influence my opinion on this topic
[20:49] <dracoloveroftheworld> good for you
[20:49] *** Aislinn has quit [Bye]
[20:49] <etnutter> Why too late?
[20:49] *** Aislinn has joined #lounge
[20:50] <MrMcGonagall> Expie's thoughts are set in stone.
[20:50] <MrMcGonagall> She's implacable.
[20:50] <Expelliarmas> on this, yeah
[20:50] <dracoloveroftheworld> thats good. so r mine
[20:50] <etnutter> What are your thoughts Ex?
[20:50] <dracoloveroftheworld> tell oplease ex
[20:50] <etnutter> What are your thoughts Dracoloverof the world?
[20:50] <Expelliarmas> We've talked about the covers at length. No new insight on the covers at this point
[20:51] <dracoloveroftheworld> well, about the covers?
[20:51] <MrMcGonagall> They have really been rather beaten to death in discussion.
[20:51] <dracoloveroftheworld> or something else?
[20:51] <etnutter> the covers
[20:51] <etnutter> something over-arching?
[20:51] <Expelliarmas> I think the kids are in a vault retrieving items of value. I think the vault belongs to the Smith family. I also don't think they're supposed to be in there.
[20:52] <phoenix42> I think I'll stick with just waiting to find out and then looking back. No one has convinced me of one theory being better than another and I don't have any particular strong thoughts. I think many could be plausible
[20:52] <Expelliarmas> It might belong to DD's family and Harry might have inherited from DD
[20:52] <Expelliarmas> but, phoenix is right
[20:52] <dracoloveroftheworld> well, i think that the US versions are knida of well, not colorful, and they dont give you a good insight to the books. but the UK versions do, b/c it gives you a snapahop of something in the book or that is symmbolic, like the pheonix on one.
[20:53] <MrMcGonagall> A preview of the Wizards and Muggles rock for social justice CD was on the show this week! Proceeds from the CD will help to fund the Harry Potter Alliance, and can be purchased at www.myspace.com/cheaprent. So, what did you think about the song?
[20:53] *** sdcurtis has quit [Bye]
[20:53] <etnutter> I liked the main line for about a minute then got pretty tired of its repetition
[20:53] <Expelliarmas> I don't care for the HP Alliance. Too political. To me, they're using the HP fandom for their own purposes.
[20:53] <MrMcGonagall> Erm, I was tempted to fast-forward. I'm just not into wizard rock.
[20:54] <MrMcGonagall> i agree, Expie.
[20:54] <dracoloveroftheworld> too true ex.
[20:54] <Expelliarmas> I could do without it in the Potterverse
[20:54] <Raldan> Sadly that is where i left the podcast as well
[20:54] <Expelliarmas> Give me a good filk anyday
[20:54] <Aislinn> filks rock!
[20:54] <MrMcGonagall> I love filky goodness.
[20:54] <etnutter> I agree to an extent but they are free to support what they will and they seem like generally nice people. some of the lyrics are funny, but the feature one needed more lines
[20:55] <etnutter> Some of the Filks from older shoes are great, but most are pretty lame
[20:55] <Expelliarmas> I think they can support whatever they want too, I just don't want HP used for political purposes
[20:55] <dracoloveroftheworld> anyways im like gonna go illtlkto u next time. later people.
[20:55] <Expelliarmas> bye, draco
[20:55] <Raldan> bye drac
[20:55] <MrMcGonagall> Bye, dracolover
[20:55] *** dracoloveroftheworld left #lounge []
[20:55] <Expelliarmas> feel free to come back tomorrow
[20:55] <janieb> bye, draco
[20:56] <etnutter> I guess I agree with that.....no one wants the theme of the series hijacked.....I agree
[20:56] <MrMcGonagall> Get your theories IN! The Leaky Predictions quiz is available at http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#quiz:10. Have you taken the quiz? What are your thoughts?
[20:56] <Expelliarmas> I took the quiz. Boy, there were a lot of questions ...
[20:56] <Raldan> a bunch!
[20:56] <Aislinn> lots and lots
[20:56] <Expelliarmas> I started getting annoyed toward the end
[20:56] <phoenix42> is that the one that there will be more parts to it?
[20:56] <etnutter> SOme of the questions were ambiguous.....they were not specific enough and left room for middle ground that will be confusing come grading time
[20:56] <Aislinn> yes phoenix42
[20:57] <Expelliarmas> more parts?!? heavens, what's left?
[20:57] <MrMcGonagall> I agree, etnutter.
[20:57] <MrMcGonagall> I'll take the whole quiz, but it doesn't reflect my theories with complete accuracy.
[20:57] <Raldan> We haven't covered ships among the house elfs
[20:57] <MrMcGonagall> It's hard to do that with multiple choice, anywah.
[20:57] <MrMcGonagall> anyway
[20:57] <Expelliarmas> ewwww
[20:57] <phoenix42> thought it was a nice way for people to save their predictions. With it being so long and more to it, you're bound to have a few things right
[20:58] <etnutter> Aislinn, My company is considering trying to help out wiht transport to the Habitat project...I left two messages for Melis and Sue. ARe they all set now or should I try agian?
[20:59] <Aislinn> I imagine that they got your messages, etnutter, although they receive a ton of messages.
[20:59] <MrMcGonagall> I'm sure they'll get back in touch with you etnutter, if help is needed.
[20:59] <etnutter> good enough
[20:59] <Aislinn> it may take a while for them to reach yours smile
[20:59] <Expelliarmas> Well, this has been a darned nice chat! Come back tomorrow for the Reading Group Chat which starts at 1:00 p.m., eastern standard time. We'll be discussing chapters 15 and 16 of OOTP
