Great news! The Hog’s Head PubCast will be included in the Azkatraz Podcast Palooza on Monday, July 20th! This is going to be a fantastic session of the PubCast, as I will be joined by John Granger and James Thomas for a panel discussion. This was our proposal:
The topic will be a discussion of the postmodern social-justice elements of the series: how Rowling advocates character transformation leading to outward social change as her method and prescription for creating a just society. We’ll discuss how literature works within a culture to reflect it and critique it, and how, in particular, the symbols and themes of the Potter series accomplish this.
And we’ll even have a lot of fun doing it.
Since I don’t want to both moderate and be a panel member, I have another exciting announcement about this podcast: It will be moderated by our favorite Potter Podcasters: Greg and Penny of HP Progs!
We’ll be preceded by SpellCast, and followed by Hogwarts Radio (whom I’ve joined before and will again) and an reality-TV type event that will select the next great Potter podcast.
This event just keeps getting better and better. If you haven’t registered yet, do so! I have great news about my Azkatraz proposals, which I’ll share soon, and a couple podcasts coming soon, one of which is recorded and just needs some editing. Stay tuned!
By the way, for HogPro fans who also visit here: John Granger’s website is working on recovering itself. Should be back to normal soon.

Since we’ve had some interesting Twilight discussion here, I figured some of our readers would be interested to know that John Granger is blogging away on the series, drawing specific parallels between the initial critical response to Harry Potter and the current critical response to Twilight.
