Melissa is back with her Mac! Yay! But John is sick... and in need of chicken soup. Get well, John! (Which is appropriately enough the title of this week's Episode 62.) And Sue is just happy because Jo updated her site. (Not to mention because she's a Hufflepuff, so she's always happy.)
We're all happy, because Jo had a good writing week. Melissa: "I can just imagine what comes out of her on a good writing week." And a bit freaked out, because Jo's now considering a third title for Book 7.
The biggest tragedy in this weeks HP news is that Dan Radcliffe, who plays Harry in the movies, thinks Harry is going to die in the last book. Melissa: "I don't talk to people like that. I might make an exception for Dan Radcliffe..."
Canon Conundrums: What is the nature of wizarding portraits? How much can they say? What do they do? How will [the anonymous character who died at the end of Book 6]'s portrait help Harry in Book 7? Will he turn into a morbid parrot? What about the portrait of Harry painted by the *cough*amazingly talented*cough* Dobby? Will it repeat warped catchphrases of Harry? ("Inh, inh, inh, inh...") (Of course, that won't be helpful because Harry's not going to die...) Steve: "You get the little three-year-old wizard with his first box of crayons, and before you know it you got all these things on the wall going 'Inh, inh, inh, inh...' 'I drew a picture of you, Mommy.'"
Steve: "I wonder what she's going to write next." Melissa: "Book 7." Yeah, I'd say it's the best Episode 62 Canon Conundrums they've ever done, and thanks to Jason's Chipotle Burrito reference, it wasn't even John-less.
Sue, don't get rid of your squees! As long as nobody's lost their hearing, we don't need any Listener Protection Act. We love your squees!
Speaking of which, I love Sue... that Hufflepuff patriotism (in the mailbag) is just too cute! And while we're on the I Love Sue rant, I should probably mention that I am so behind her about the entire trio living!!! There's just no other way.
Now, the blog challenge. First of all, Melissa is accusing us of slacking. Hey, I don't celebrate Halloween, OK? OK, she's right. So, for this week's challenge, what can I do to make John feel better? Hey, I gave his show a great review. Anything else?
Yeah, I should probably mention that John was really missing from today's PotterCast. We love him! PotterCast without John Noe is... just Melissa and Sue. Melissa and Sue are wonderful and wonderful, but without the third wonderful PotterCast just has a gaping hole in it... So I really hope John is better and back for Episode 63. The show was really missing in John-isms this week.
What else is there to say... Oh! I forgot! There's going to be another live podcast at Phoenix Rising, which I mentioned in my previous PC post. Oh, and anyone who's interested in writing/singing filks (song parodies), now is the time to start listening to PC because they're having another flik-cast for the holidays!
One last note: I like the new PC art! It's cool.
OK, that's about it. So go download the show!
