[20:10] <SoonerGryffindor> 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! [20:10] <Expelliarmas> This Week in Potter, we have movie news, interviews, justice system abuse, rumors to defuse, translations to peruse, podcasts that enthuse, and parks that amuse. Let's get started with this week in review!! [20:10] <Expelliarmas> Let's start with movie news! Not only did we find out that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix will be 138 minutes long, but that it will be released domestically on July 11! (2 whole days EARLIER than originally projected). What are your thoughts? Why are you excited about the OotP film? [20:10] <SoonerGryffindor> I am excited by both [20:10] <futureweasley> 2 days early!! YAY!! [20:10] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> meh, i'm neither here nor there about the film - the change of release date messed up my weekend plans [20:10] <SoonerGryffindor> anything over 2 hours is good [20:11] <bookworm1102> im excited [20:11] <MafaldaWeasley> Very, not only me but even my boring boyfriend hehe. I just loved everything I've seen [20:11] <SoonerGryffindor> I will still probably not see the film until Friday, but at least there is the option to see it earlier [20:11] <Expelliarmas> Ah, I'll be taking time off to take my 84 year old mom to see the film, so that's a nice tradition [20:11] <bookworm1102> im glad i didnt make any plans [20:11] <SoonerGryffindor> that is nice Expie [20:11] <futureweasley> I was worried about the length, too...hearing that it's the shortest film (being the longest book)...I had serious concerns [20:11] <futureweasley> that rocks Expie [20:11] <SoonerGryffindor> but its still over 2 hours [20:11] <SoonerGryffindor> I was seriously worried it might have been shorter [20:12] <fawkes28> pirates was about 3 - so i dont see any reason why it cant be close to three hours [20:12] <Expelliarmas> I agree with that fawkes [20:12] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i'm not too worried, future... it's hte least complicated of all the books, since most of it is internal monologue, you know? the story is simpler than the rest [20:12] *** Rabquester has quit [Bye] [20:12] <fawkes28> i would gladly watch 3 hours of OotP [20:12] <AnnaNoe> so what day is july 11 [20:12] <MafaldaWeasley> I agree choco [20:12] <SoonerGryffindor> Wednesday [20:12] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> ugh, pirates about tortured me to death with 3 hours lol [20:12] <SoonerGryffindor> Pirates was a bit too long [20:12] <bookworm1102> did this mess up anyones plams [20:12] <futureweasley> oh, Chocolate...you are such a thinker! I never even looked at it from that angle [20:13] <SoonerGryffindor> It does mess up mine a bit. My daughter's bday is July 11 [20:13] *** fawkes28 has quit [Bye] [20:13] *** fawkes28 has joined #lounge [20:13] <SoonerGryffindor> and she is not a Potter fan [20:13] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> :-D i just can't wait for Harry to blow up at Dumbledore at the end... i hope he gets the right emotional pitch [20:13] <futureweasley> she might be this year, Sooner [20:13] <SoonerGryffindor> so I will not be seeing the movie on opening day [20:13] <futureweasley> lol [20:13] <MafaldaWeasley> aww, sooner, maybe you can take her and she may enjoy it [20:13] <Expelliarmas> Early ticket sales for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix are kicking off globally within the next few short weeks. Where do you plan to see the movie? An IMAX, at a local theatre with friends, a release party? Dish the plans!! [20:13] <MafaldaWeasley> I'm very afraid of it Choco [20:14] <SoonerGryffindor> but, future and I do a podcast with some other people and this will give us an extra couple of days to see the movie and comment on it [20:14] <Expelliarmas> I'm going to Sunset Place Movies--Stadium seating, baby! [20:14] <futureweasley> I will be at the IMAX here in my hometown [20:14] <fawkes28> the person i may see it with wants to fo the Imax in NYC [20:14] <futureweasley> at midnight [20:14] <futureweasley> and it will be amazing [20:14] <SoonerGryffindor> there is a theater with stadium seating and an IMax close to my house. I cannot decide at this time where I will see it [20:14] <futureweasley> I have a whole group of people who are going, too [20:14] <MafaldaWeasley> hehe Cinemark over here...with some lunatics here at midnignt [20:15] <SoonerGryffindor> I am also going to try to talk Mr. McGonagall into coming to town to see it with me [20:15] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i don't know... i was going to go back home, since i'll be interning out of town, but now that it's smack in the middle of the week, i don't know who i'm going to see it with or where [20:15] * futureweasley joins the lunatics [20:15] <Expelliarmas> my mother would hate the IMAX experience, and at 84, she shouldn't get too many surprises [20:15] <bookworm1102> I hopeing to fo opening weekend but I have to covinnce my movie buddy a.k.a dad [20:15] <SoonerGryffindor> lol Expie [20:15] <futureweasley> aww, bookworm [20:15] <futureweasley> buddy = dad...I love that [20:15] <bookworm1102> he is not an HP fan but he likes the movies [20:15] <MafaldaWeasley> bookworm I also go with my dad sometimes. If you ask him he may go, mine does smile [20:15] <futureweasley> I'm sure he'd be happy to accompany you [20:16] <futureweasley> my dad loves the movies, too [20:16] <futureweasley> but, I got him hooked on the books [20:16] <bookworm1102> the funny thing is he wont read the books [20:16] <SoonerGryffindor> I also plan on taking my 8yp nephew who is a huge fan [20:16] <fawkes28> aww, i wish i could see it with you two [20:16] <AnnaNoe> i hated harry potter until i saw the movie..then i was hooked on the books 2. haha no lie. [20:16] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i'm becoming a movie snob... a movie has to be really good in order for me to enjoy it anymore, it seems. not that Harry Potter has ever failed me there, but Pirates definitely did... Harry Potter will probably break out as the best sequel of the summer [20:16] <SoonerGryffindor> Hey Anna, that happens a lot [20:16] <futureweasley> lol Anna [20:16] <MafaldaWeasley> It can happen Ana [20:16] <futureweasley> I think that's what happened to me, too [20:17] <AnnaNoe> hah yeah [20:17] <futureweasley> and, I can relate to that, too, Chocolate! [20:17] <SoonerGryffindor> I admit that I was hugely disappointed with GoF [20:17] <fawkes28> i got hooked right before the first movie came out - so i got to picture it in my own head first [20:17] <bookworm1102> why [20:17] <Expelliarmas> oh, Spiderman 3 was darned good [20:17] <MafaldaWeasley> I like GoF... [20:17] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> see, I was hugely surprised and amazed by GoF [20:17] <futureweasley> I loved GoF (the book), and took the movie for what it was. Now, I really don't like GoF at all [20:17] <SoonerGryffindor> I was hooked before the movies as well [20:17] <MafaldaWeasley> GoF is my favorite book side a long with PoA [20:18] <SoonerGryffindor> OotP is my fave book [20:18] <AnnaNoe> i remember when i saw the movie i ended up reading all 4 books in like a week.. [20:18] <SoonerGryffindor> so I am nervous and excited about this movie [20:18] * futureweasley is named "MJ" and STILL has yet to see a Spiderman [20:18] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> OotP is somehow becoming my fave, after being my least favorite for a long time [20:18] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL [20:18] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hehehe future [20:18] * Expelliarmas thinks futureweasley has been missing out [20:18] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> just see the first one [20:18] <MafaldaWeasley> I really disliked the movie of PoA [20:18] <bookworm1102> OotP is my fav too [20:18] * SoonerGryffindor plans on taking MJ to go see a Spidey movie [20:18] <Expelliarmas> There was some interesting news about the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie. Warner Brothers is looking for possible locations to shoot "the cave" scene, and are interested in "Cape Wrath" (what irony)? How do you see "The Cave" being represented on film? [20:19] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> I always think of spiderman around you, future [20:19] <futureweasley> ha! [20:19] <SoonerGryffindor> good question [20:19] <AnnaNoe> oh its gunna be totally siick, as in suhweeet [20:19] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it's so far in the future for me... i don't like to imagine what it'll look like on film.. it's still just my imagination that I refer to [20:19] <fawkes28> oh, the cave scene better be good or else [20:19] <futureweasley> the cave seen has got to be perfect [20:19] <SoonerGryffindor> as long as it is sufficiently creepy, I will be happy [20:20] <bookworm1102> agreed [20:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> the zombies better freak me the heck out [20:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> or [20:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> inferi [20:20] <futureweasley> I am truly concerned about the film representation of HBP...for whatever reason, it seems the most complicated to me [20:20] <SoonerGryffindor> okay, so who all has seen PotC? [20:20] <MafaldaWeasley> me too Sooner. I think the especial effects will be great [20:20] <bookworm1102> i have [20:20] <SoonerGryffindor> the bodies in the water reminded me of the cave scene [20:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i have... unfortunately [20:20] <Expelliarmas> not me, so don't spoil it! [20:20] <SoonerGryffindor> oops [20:20] <fawkes28> i think we are going to be more critical of HBP than the other movies - it is such an emotional book [20:20] <bookworm1102> really [20:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> that's not a bad spoiler [20:20] <SoonerGryffindor> nah [20:20] <SoonerGryffindor> its not [20:20] * Expelliarmas pokes Sooner [20:20] *** Joyhawk2121 has joined #lounge [20:20] * SoonerGryffindor ducks [20:20] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i thought of the dead marshes from Lord of the Rings [20:20] <fawkes28> hey joy [20:20] <SoonerGryffindor> hey joyhawk [20:21] <MafaldaWeasley> hi joy [20:21] <Joyhawk2121> hello everyone [20:21] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> how those were realized on film... that's how i imagined the cave [20:21] <SoonerGryffindor> anyway, when I was watching PotC, I was thinking "inferi!" [20:21] <AnnaNoe> i have it all pictured in my head but i can't describe it ya know? i might draw it and send it into the fanart place or something [20:21] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> understandable, anna [20:21] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> :) [20:21] * Expelliarmas thinks Sooner is a dead woman walkin' in Toronto ... [20:21] <futureweasley> I can't draw...but I could try to use my words to explain it [20:21] <MafaldaWeasley> hahaha sooner, somehow I think the inferi are a lot more creepy [20:21] <fawkes28> that is one reason i wouldn't want movies - i like picturing my own images [20:22] <futureweasley> I just know I'll know if it's right or wrong when I see it [20:22] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i'll make an inferi spin around in circles? which is what i can do best [20:22] <fawkes28> hahahaha [20:22] <futureweasley> in-in-inferi! [20:22] <Expelliarmas> There was an interview with Timothy Spall this week (who plays Peter Pettigrew in the Harry Potter movies), in which he talks about his possible role in the upcoming movies. He explains that he's not "on contract" for the upcoming movies. How would you feel if Timothy Spall did NOT return to the role of Wormtail? What do you think about replacing the actor for the role? [20:22] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL [20:22] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> oh no [20:22] <futureweasley> Chia Death? [20:22] * chocolateisnotforbreakfast just adds water! [20:22] <futureweasley> lol [20:22] <Expelliarmas> Not a major loss, we're not that invested in him as *Peter* [20:22] *** HPFanatic has joined #lounge [20:22] <Expelliarmas> while he's at it, take Gambon too [20:23] <futureweasley> hi HPFanatic [20:23] <Aislinn> I was disappointed in his performance in the graveyard scene [20:23] <SoonerGryffindor> I think it would be a shame, but would like to know the depth of his role in DH before making a judgement [20:23] <HPFanatic> hey [20:23] <AnnaNoe> i think it would be stupid on his part [20:23] <SoonerGryffindor> it realy would [20:23] <Aislinn> for a man about to cut off his hand, he did not act nearly terrified enough [20:23] <bookworm1102> is he in Ootp [20:23] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think it'd be unfortunate not not have him come back, but he's not essential the way the main characters are [20:23] <fawkes28> it really doesnt bother me either way [20:23] <SoonerGryffindor> nah, that was one of many things that aggravated me about GoF [20:23] <futureweasley> I agree, Anna...I mean, seriously...what else does Timothy Spall have lined up that is as BIG as this? [20:23] <Joyhawk2121> yeah, he was not that great an actor [20:23] <HPFanatic> oh did someone say something about micheal gambon [20:23] <Expelliarmas> I didn't think he did that great a job as Peter; perhaps they'd get an improvement [20:23] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i didn't mind him in PoA [20:23] <AnnaNoe> hah exactly [20:24] <Aislinn> he was better in Poa, I agree, chocolate [20:24] <HPFanatic> i agree with that too [20:24] <SoonerGryffindor> No, we are talking about the news article about Timothy Spall [20:24] <HPFanatic> lol [20:24] <HPFanatic> but [20:24] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> but i can see how he wouldn't be seen as awesome in GoF [20:24] <HPFanatic> gambon is just not good is he? [20:24] <futureweasley> I think that pretty much everything about GoF was whacked...I think Timothy got some bad coaching from the director [20:24] <Expelliarmas> New ads hit the street this week for the Order of the Phoenix video game. Do we have any gamers in the chat today? Anyone who plans to play the game when it's released? What are your thoughts about the game from what we've seen thus far? [20:24] <fawkes28> yes, future [20:24] <HPFanatic> i dont think he is Dd material. somehow his personality doesnt match the character of Dd [20:24] <MafaldaWeasley> let's see him now. Yes, future I agree [20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> I have to admit that I am not a gamer [20:25] * chocolateisnotforbreakfast wants to buy a wii just for the game [20:25] <HPFanatic> not a gamer [20:25] * futureweasley is not a gamer either [20:25] <AnnaNoe> oooh yeah im gettin the game [20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> but from the gamers I know, they are excited about this [20:25] <bookworm1102> not gamer [20:25] <Expelliarmas> If I had the time, I would play it. Stil havent played the GOF one [20:25] <fawkes28> KimmyBlair always gives good advice about the games - she almost convinced me to buy the computer version [20:25] <HPFanatic> i havent played any of the games [20:25] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> is there going to be any way of playing with other people? because that's my only complaint [20:25] <HPFanatic> i've heard theyre good tho [20:25] <AnnaNoe> after every movie me and john will get it and play it all night til its beaten [20:25] <futureweasley> when they come out with "Wizard Hero" with a magic wand for Wii..then we can talk [20:25] <SoonerGryffindor> that would be nice Chocolate [20:25] <AnnaNoe> chyeaa [20:26] <Joyhawk2121> I agree Chocolate [20:26] <HPFanatic> futureweasley i agree [20:26] <MafaldaWeasley> I've just played the first one...hehe [20:26] <HPFanatic> lol [20:26] <Expelliarmas> They are working on that, fw [20:26] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hehe [20:26] <HPFanatic> wow seems not a lot of game talk after all eh? [20:27] <Expelliarmas> I also don't like that you can't have multiple players [20:27] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i'm a gamer, but i don't know how i feel about gaming with Harry Potter... i really enjoy them as books, and that's it [20:27] <SoonerGryffindor> Prongs has me talked into getting the PC versions of the first 3, but I havent gotten them yet [20:27] <AnnaNoe> pfft i think its siick! [20:27] <futureweasley> I would be VERY interested in trying to master wand movement...so I don't look like Seamus Finnigan in PS/SS everytime I get my hands on one [20:27] <SoonerGryffindor> lol future [20:27] <HPFanatic> lol [20:27] <fawkes28> future with a wand would be dangerous [20:27] <SoonerGryffindor> I really stink at video games [20:27] <SoonerGryffindor> I would hide [20:27] <fawkes28> so would i [20:27] <HPFanatic> oh good i thought i was the only one [20:27] <HPFanatic> hehe [20:27] <futureweasley> I just reread that last sentence I wrote and it's official...I'm the biggest dork EVER [20:28] <Expelliarmas> I love video games, but I'm just too busy to play right now [20:28] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i actually wouldn't mind not having multi player... but multiplayer was the only complaint a friend had with the game [20:28] <fawkes28> of course, but we still love ya [20:28] <SoonerGryffindor> we already knew that sweetie [20:28] <futureweasley> who actually thinks about "mastering wand movements"?! [20:28] <futureweasley> good grief! [20:28] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hahahaha [20:28] <Expelliarmas> and yet, you're just one of us, fw [20:28] <SoonerGryffindor> pretty much [20:28] <futureweasley> too true, Expie [20:28] <fawkes28> obsessed [20:28] <Expelliarmas> Laura Mallory's plea to remove Harry Potter books from her local school's shelves was again rejected by the Superior Court. She's out of local appeals, and is expected to take her case to a federal level now? In the most polite way you can conjure, what do you think about Laura's cases chances on a federal level? How could the cases win federally, despite local defeats? [20:28] <HPFanatic> ok whats wrong with this lady? [20:28] <SoonerGryffindor> delusiona; [20:28] <HPFanatic> i dont get her [20:29] <MafaldaWeasley> Oh God! give up woman!!! [20:29] <Expelliarmas> Shall I tell you what her odds are from a legal point of view? [20:29] <SoonerGryffindor> yes [20:29] <SoonerGryffindor> tell us Expie [20:29] <Joyhawk2121> yes [20:29] <futureweasley> please do Expie [20:29] <Expelliarmas> 0 [20:29] <fawkes28> oh, yes please [20:29] <bookworm1102> if hasnt won yet then why doesnt she quit [20:29] <futureweasley> YAY! [20:29] <SoonerGryffindor> yes! [20:29] <HPFanatic> because she wants to be famous [20:29] <HPFanatic> i think shes just after fame [20:29] <Expelliarmas> There's this thing called the First Amendment which the feds take very siriously [20:29] <HPFanatic> thats all [20:29] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hahahahaha, i think her stance is totally laughable... instead of supporting religious books and trying to get them into schools, she's just making herself look like a fool, and is turning people AWAY from the very idea that she's trying to support [20:29] <futureweasley> I really don't think it's about fame with her [20:29] <futureweasley> I respectfully disagree HPFanatic [20:29] <HPFanatic> well it has to be smthing [20:29] <SoonerGryffindor> I think the word delusional is a good fit here [20:29] <Expelliarmas> if she has the money, she can appeal, but the fed court will nail her with court costs and attorney's fees [20:30] <HPFanatic> lol [20:30] <SoonerGryffindor> she really thinks she can win [20:30] <Expelliarmas> no, she's just nuts [20:30] <Aislinn> good - she should be nailed for frivolous law suits [20:30] <SoonerGryffindor> to me, that's not living in reality [20:30] <futureweasley> I think she's seriously devoid of any and all reality [20:30] <SoonerGryffindor> snap future [20:30] <AnnaNoe> dude..the lady was crying because of the supposed evil dripping from the books... [20:30] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think she's passionate, without a clear way of achieving any goal... she's attacking law with feelings, which isn't possible to win [20:30] <HPFanatic> WHAT [20:30] <HPFanatic> evil?? [20:30] <SoonerGryffindor> what kills me the most about this is that she admits that she has not read them [20:30] <AnnaNoe> exactly [20:30] <Expelliarmas> that's what the sanction would be for, filing a frivolous law suits. [20:30] <Joyhawk2121> yes, she is just a nut [20:30] <HPFanatic> haha [20:30] <HPFanatic> thats a joke [20:30] <HPFanatic> she hasnt even read them [20:30] <fawkes28> yes, sooner - it is just sad [20:31] <SoonerGryffindor> I would feel much better about her delusions if she had bothered ro read the books in the first place [20:31] <fawkes28> pathetic actually [20:31] <bookworm1102> i thought that she had read part of them [20:31] <HPFanatic> yea same here sooner [20:31] <futureweasley> she has said everytime she tries to read them, she endures "excruciating pain". [20:31] <Expelliarmas> I like the amount of money she's wasting on legal fees [20:31] <SoonerGryffindor> yeah [20:31] <MafaldaWeasley> I think that what she's doing it's to try to get attention for her cause, actually, I don't think she expects to win anything, because people have their right to read whatever they want to [20:31] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> she has nothing to prove that they are detrimental to children... if she wants to win, she needs to prove that she deserves to be in control of what her children read, and that she doesn't want them to have the opportunity to read the books without her knowing, in the school library [20:31] <futureweasley> I think the paperbacks would be better for her...the hardcovers ARE heavy and can cause muscle weakness and stress [20:31] <bookworm1102> it would be funny if her kids read the books [20:31] <Aislinn> excruciating pain - insert rolling eyes here [20:31] <Expelliarmas> Yes, MW, that whole First Amendment thing which abhors censorship [20:31] <HPFanatic> i think HP is banned in her house [20:32] <SoonerGryffindor> well, I think that Jo uses Hermione and Umbridge to great effect to get her point across. Every time I think of Mallory, I think of Umbridge banning The Quibbler article [20:32] <futureweasley> lol Aislinn [20:32] <Expelliarmas> I think her kids read the books secretly [20:32] <bookworm1102> well i mean with out her knowing it [20:32] <SoonerGryffindor> lol Expie [20:32] <HPFanatic> yea bet they do [20:32] <MafaldaWeasley> exactly. I think she's just trying to get publicity to her cause.. and it's working [20:32] <futureweasley> they'd be caned within an inch of their lives [20:32] <SoonerGryffindor> but what is hilarious is that its probably caused more people to read them than to aviod them [20:32] <Expelliarmas> not really, MW, it's not getting her any financial backing [20:32] <HPFanatic> there are so many other causes out there that need this much energy to be spent on them [20:33] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> well, not all books are allowed in school libraries becaus they're too explicit sexually or with language... i can see how she might be afriad of HER children getting their hands on the book because they have things that are inappropriate for them [20:33] <AnnaNoe> haha i can picture the kids down a dark alley waiting for the "exchange" for the book. like a sneaky dealer.. [20:33] <HPFanatic> and yet she has to pick this one [20:33] <Expelliarmas> A bit like Umbridge banning the Quibbler [20:33] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL Anna [20:33] <futureweasley> which is scarier? Having your kid read a fantasy book, or the reality of what she'll do to her kids if she finds out they are reading them? [20:33] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> but she's not taking that stance, she's trying to make it bad for EVERYONE that EVERYONE is affected by it [20:33] <SoonerGryffindor> like a dug dea; [20:33] <futureweasley> Roonil Wazlib [20:33] <HPFanatic> ok seriously [20:33] <AnnaNoe> haha yess [20:33] <MafaldaWeasley> not financial, I think she wants discussion, Expie [20:33] <SoonerGryffindor> I respect her rights to limit what her children read [20:33] <HPFanatic> i ve seen teen books that have a really explict sexual content [20:33] <HPFanatic> how about she gets those out first [20:33] <SoonerGryffindor> but I find it offensive that she wants to limit what my children read [20:33] <Expelliarmas> That's not happening either, MW [20:34] <futureweasley> bingo, Sooner [20:34] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> well, can't you just go to a public library, sooner? [20:34] <bookworm1102> understandable sooner [20:34] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it's just for the school library [20:34] <Expelliarmas> She's being universally panned, so no real discussion is occurring [20:34] <SoonerGryffindor> stilll [20:34] <MafaldaWeasley> no? what are we doing? hehehe. I know some people who supports her thoughts [20:34] <SoonerGryffindor> what if there are kids whose only resource is a school library? [20:34] <MafaldaWeasley> in the US [20:34] <Expelliarmas> A bevy of different Deathly Hallows contests have been announced this week. Everyone from Scholastic, to Cartoon Network, to the Miami Herald are jumping in and offering amazing opportunities to travel to London and meet Jo on July 21, 2007. There have been age limits put on these contests. What are your thoughts about limiting the contests to 18 and under? [20:34] <Expelliarmas> Booooo! [20:34] <AnnaNoe> i don't think any judge will give her the time of day without evidence that she has read a book [20:35] <futureweasley> I have my lawyer on retainer [20:35] <fawkes28> boooooooo [20:35] <SoonerGryffindor> I like how chocolate handled this [20:35] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha, some people already know my thoughts on this :-D [20:35] <futureweasley> we are going after Scholastic in a major way [20:35] <SoonerGryffindor> lol future [20:35] <fawkes28> apparently they do not know their target audience [20:35] <futureweasley> OMG, Chocolate is HILARIOUS [20:35] * Expelliarmas sent a protest letter to Scholastic as a Scholastic shareholder [20:35] <MafaldaWeasley> and if you are over 18 and from another continent. BOOOOO BOOOOO BOOOO [20:35] <fawkes28> i would even pay to go to the event - just let me go [20:36] <fawkes28> and other countries it doesnt even apply to [20:36] * chocolateisnotforbreakfast sent an entry to the Herald, where Voldemort destroys himself, because he claims to be a fan of Harrys, when there couldn't possibly be any ADULT fans of Harry Potter... and that's how the book ends [20:36] <AnnaNoe> wel it cancels me out..phooey [20:36] <SoonerGryffindor> For those who dont know, Chocolate wrote a very sarcastic story about the prejudices against adults and submitted that [20:36] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [20:36] <Expelliarmas> I find it incredibly annoying that they would keep adults from entering, even though adults account for the majority of the sales [20:36] <bookworm1102> i think that there beingstupid about it [20:37] <fawkes28> they should not put an age restriction on it [20:37] <SoonerGryffindor> especially considering that this has been in the works for 10 years. A lot of the adults they are excluding were kids and kid fans when this all started [20:37] <Expelliarmas> Bloomsbury did not ban the adults, but did limit their contest to only UK/Irish folks [20:37] <futureweasley> I understand wanting to make it about the kids...but Harry is "of age" in this book, for pity's sake! [20:37] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> it's getting annoying... i was 15 when i started.... and i seriously think the average age is 16 - 25 by now, not 6-15 [20:37] <SoonerGryffindor> right chocolate [20:37] <MafaldaWeasley> I find annoying they are not givin foreigner children the chance to go and meet JK. It's the last time on HP books, they shoul try to flight some young fans from other pars of the globe [20:37] <SoonerGryffindor> I agree MF [20:37] <Expelliarmas> some parents might not want their very young kids reading HBP, for pete's sake just the cave scene alone was very non-kiddie [20:37] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i think so too, mafalda [20:38] <futureweasley> yes Expie [20:38] <futureweasley> talk about frightening imagery!! [20:38] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> right, expelliarmas! i still want the 5 kids from the us to show up with their parents... and the parents were the ones who signed each of them up [20:38] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> as a way of getting themselves there [20:38] <SoonerGryffindor> I signed my kids up [20:38] <AnnaNoe> like with the blood and what nnot..dumbly suffering and what not [20:38] <Expelliarmas> exactly [20:38] <Expelliarmas> OK, for the adults in the group, how many of you invented kids and entered them? [20:38] <SoonerGryffindor> LOL [20:38] <MafaldaWeasley> well, I was 12 when I first read HP, so haha old fans do not count [20:39] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> hahaha didn't invent any, unfortunately [20:39] <Expelliarmas> I can produce a picture of a kid, just buy a wallet and name the kid in the pic therein Wally, and you're in [20:39] <Expelliarmas> If you miraculously won a contest to meet Jo on the eve of the release of Deathly Hallows, and had the opportunity to hear her read from it, what do you think you would do? What would you say to Jo? [20:39] <bookworm1102> what about those who dont have kids do we find some random kid and claim it as our own just so we could go [20:39] <MafaldaWeasley> haha Expie [20:39] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> "My child... Godric... Gryffin..smith" [20:39] <Aislinn> lol [20:40] <bookworm1102> i would pass out [20:40] <SoonerGryffindor> before or after I passed out? [20:40] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha sooner [20:40] <bookworm1102> exactly sooner [20:40] <Expelliarmas> "Please sign it to 'Expie, my biggest fan'" Ok, thanks! [20:40] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i would give her a hug [20:40] <fawkes28> i would want her to tell me backstory [20:40] <Aislinn> I would thank her for what she has given us, if I could get the words out [20:40] <AnnaNoe> "whats up Jo, how's it chillin" "who dies?" "i swear i wont tell anyone" [20:40] <fawkes28> i think i would just stare at her in awe [20:40] <Aislinn> right, fawkes, then start to ask a million questions! [20:40] <bookworm1102> i start babbleing about my thought about the books [20:40] <bookworm1102> theriories and all [20:41] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i'd want to impress her and make myself stand out in her mind, so that when she is 80 and thinks back to the time when she was first famous for Harry Potter, she'd remember me as a genuine fan [20:41] <fawkes28> i would just want to chat with her [20:41] <SoonerGryffindor> I would tell her that as a struggling single mom, she was my hero [20:41] <MafaldaWeasley> I would say that not only she has a fan, but also that she had inspired me many times and that I was very grateful because I could identify myself with Harry on many cicunstances. Growing up with Harry was a very nice thing. [20:41] <AnnaNoe> hah id knit her a sweater with a big J on it :P [20:41] * fawkes28 daydreams about meeting Jo [20:41] <MafaldaWeasley> I bet I would cry [20:41] <bookworm1102> we would all cry [20:42] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> omg guys! it's almost over! [20:42] <fawkes28> being in the same room with her with a thousand other people brought me to tears and gave me goosebumps - i cant imagien face to face [20:42] <futureweasley> oh Chocolate, don't you start! [20:42] <bookworm1102> time goes by fast [20:42] <Expelliarmas> The Swedish Translation of the title for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released this week by JKR. It basically translates to HP and the Relics of Death". The Japanese title translates to "HP and the Secret Treasure of Death". How do these new "foreign" translations change your view of the possible meaning of "Deathly Hallows"? [20:42] <MafaldaWeasley> Oh yeah, I would say Snape is better be bad eh haha [20:42] * chocolateisnotforbreakfast tries to hold herself together [20:42] <AnnaNoe> translation=sirius siriusly coming back [20:42] * fawkes28 gives chocolate a reassuring hug [20:43] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> ugh... i have to give up my theory of the deathly hallows being volcanoes... [20:43] <SoonerGryffindor> I have always maintained that they were items, so this does not change my mind on anything [20:43] * Expelliarmas thinks sirius is siriusly dead [20:43] <MafaldaWeasley> The first Brazilian translation of the book's title also goes on the same line [20:43] <SoonerGryffindor> lol chocolate [20:43] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> :( [20:43] <Aislinn> I always thought it referred to objects [20:43] <SoonerGryffindor> but it does not rule out the chia-horcrux theories [20:43] * chocolateisnotforbreakfast just adds water! [20:43] <AnnaNoe> if sirius is siriusly dead i will siriusly cry [20:43] <futureweasley> right you are Sooner [20:43] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> perfect for birthdays....

[20:50] <MafaldaWeasley> Oh I would love to go to the Leaky get-together [20:50] <Expelliarmas> there will be a lot more adults than kids, which makes Universal the better choice to do this park; they are adult friendly [20:50] <futureweasley> dead again [20:50] <fawkes28> we already had a leaky get-together laugh [20:51] <SoonerGryffindor> So has anyone watched the videos? [20:51] <futureweasley> we'll do it again and again [20:51] <futureweasley> it will be fin [20:51] <futureweasley> e [20:51] <fawkes28> of course! [20:51] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> but we can get together at The Leaky Cauldron!! [20:51] <SoonerGryffindor> I got so excited seeing Stuart Craig talk about the new park [20:51] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> they sounded bored lol [20:51] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> or awkward... or something [20:51] <Expelliarmas> Today we got a new Wizard of the Month [WotM] -- Salazar Slytherin. Was this surprising? What did you notice most about the picture? What do you think of this? [20:51] <futureweasley> sorry to take off early, but real life beckons [20:52] <futureweasley> bye all [20:52] *** futureweasley left #lounge [] [20:52] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> WOO!! the locket of course [20:52] <SoonerGryffindor> bye future [20:52] <Expelliarmas> bye, fw [20:52] <fawkes28> they should have interviewed us, chocolate [20:52] <MafaldaWeasley> yeah, the locket and the fact he was the first legimens [20:52] <SoonerGryffindor> I must say that I predicted it would be Salazar [20:52] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> and the lack of the ring [20:52] * fawkes28 runs over to Jo's site [20:52] <Aislinn> the locket, definitely [20:52] <SoonerGryffindor> the legilimens info was cool [20:52] <MafaldaWeasley> in fact I think the legimens part is a lot more interesting than the locket itself [20:52] <SoonerGryffindor> but did you guys notice that the locket was SILVER [20:52] <MafaldaWeasley> yeah [20:53] <bookworm1102> its supposed to be gold right? [20:53] <SoonerGryffindor> I wonder why they made that mistake? [20:53] <MafaldaWeasley> or it's a mistake or he had more than one locket hahaha [20:53] <Expelliarmas> wonder if they'll fix it or not [20:53] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> he looked pretty evil... no question he was a stereotypical bad guy.. makes some of those "salazar slytherin wasn't a bad guy" theories even more difficult to believe [20:53] <SoonerGryffindor> yes, it is supposed to be gold [20:53] <Expelliarmas> Jo described it as a heavy gold lock in OOTP [20:53] <SoonerGryffindor> it was in HBP actually. It is described in the memory of Hokey' [20:53] <bookworm1102> for some reason i always imaged it being silver [20:53] <SoonerGryffindor> s as being gold [20:53] <Expelliarmas> he hardly looks human ... hard to believe good looking Tom Riddle came from that line, but not hard to believe the Gaunts did [20:53] <fawkes28> he looks really evile and i dont think he is truly 100 percent evil [20:54] <SoonerGryffindor> I am starting to refer to Salazar as monkey face now [20:54] <bookworm1102> lol [20:54] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> yeah, voldemort got his looks from the Riddle family, now [20:54] <Expelliarmas> Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was said to have begun printing in Germany. There were allegations that the workers were being forced to work in COMPLETE DARKNESS (to keep spoiler possibilities down), but this rumour was later debunked. How do you think security is being "beefed up" for this release? [20:54] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> we can definitely tell [20:54] <MafaldaWeasley> I don't know why but he remind me somehow of Snape...not the movie Snape but the one I have in my mind [20:54] <SoonerGryffindor> I have no idea, but it better be tight [20:55] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> if i get spoiled, i'll be so upset [20:55] <SoonerGryffindor> I am going to be highly upset if I see a spoiler [20:55] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> maybe jo could come and console me, in person, though, if the story is big enough. [20:55] <Aislinn> LOL [20:55] <SoonerGryffindor> Surely they will check everyone out thoroughly for bits and pieces of manuscript before they leave [20:56] <SoonerGryffindor> I would say everything short of a full body cavity search [20:56] <bookworm1102> i will be upset if i hear any spoilers [20:56] <MafaldaWeasley> well, somebody is reading it right now. i think it's a matter of etics not to come foward and spoiled it. But it's hard not to have somebody reading at least so parts while printing it [20:56] <fawkes28> yes, if i get spoiled - this phoenix will get very upset [20:56] <Expelliarmas> We're just about out of time. There was more news this week that we didn't discuss...is there anything you want to talk about in regards to this Week in Potter? [20:56] <fawkes28> not everyone is ethical though [20:56] <fawkes28> 49 days sad [20:56] <SoonerGryffindor> Seriously, if I worked at this plant, I would request a different job because I would not want to accidentally see something [20:56] * chocolateisnotforbreakfast just adds more water! [20:56] <bookworm1102> well i got to go bye guys [20:56] <SoonerGryffindor> Bye [20:57] <SoonerGryffindor> I cant think of any other big news [20:57] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> me neither - i saw a lot of HP news on TV though, which is exciting... with Laura Mallory mostly [20:57] <Expelliarmas> maybe they can hire illiterate types to do the work [20:57] <fawkes28> maybe chapter titles next week [20:57] *** bookworm1102 left #lounge [] [20:57] <fawkes28> or a wombat [20:57] <Expelliarmas> perhaps Mallory, she can't read and that would give her something to do [20:57] <MafaldaWeasley> oh Expie hehehe [20:57] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> haha expie... [20:57] <SoonerGryffindor> oooh, the OotP trailer did win an award [20:57] <Expelliarmas> just a thought [20:58] <MafaldaWeasley> Stivie Wonder would do it [20:58] <SoonerGryffindor> so that is cool [20:58] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i saw that! congrats trailer! [20:58] <MafaldaWeasley> no, really guys, I'm crazy to the next wombat [20:58] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> i've never done a wombat! so i'm excited to get one!

[21:00] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> she needs to be surrounded by crap so that we have no idea which it might be [21:00] <chocolateisnotforbreakfast> lol [21:00] <MafaldaWeasley> bye guys! great chat! fun as usual!!!
