PubCast - This Weekend! (I hope)

November 30th, 2006 · 2 Comments · Gryffindor Common Room

I should be able to get a pubcast up this weekend, as long as my baby girl cooperates.  I’m going to talk about John Granger’s new book and use that as a starting point in a series of pubcasts on Dumbledore.

Happy Thanksgiving

November 23rd, 2006 · No Comments · Gryffindor Common Room

Thanksgiving’s not really a “Harry Potter” holiday, seeing as HP is British and all, but I wanted to wish all my American readers a Happy Thanksgiving.

10 Seconds of Trailer

November 18th, 2006 · No Comments · Harry News and Commentary, The Movies

In case you need a Harry Potter fix before the teaser trailer for Order is put in the Happy Feet website on Monday, Warner Bros. has released 10 seconds of the teaser trailer.  It’s sort of like a teaser trailer for the teaser trailer.
I know, it’s out of control.  But admit it.  You’re excited about [...]

Around the Common Room

November 16th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Gryffindor Common Room, Harry News and Commentary
