PotterCast 85: Less Than 100 Transcript
Opening (0:00 - 2:55)
Melissa Anelli (MA): With less than one hundred days to go until we find out whether Harry lives or dies, welcome to PotterCast Eighty-five.
Sue Upton (SU): Whoa.
John Noe (JN): Wha wha woo!
MA: That's your cue. (laughs) Welcome, welcome, welcome, it's PotterCast Eighty-five. Once again, we have an awesome show for you. I'm Melissa, I am here with Sue and John. And in this show we have for you a fan interview with the girl who made the Harry Potter cake! (SU: Yay!) This girl took the cover art and made the best thing ever out of it: a cake. We like her a lot. So we're going to hear from her in the fan interview. (JN: Mm.) We also have a lot, a lot, a lot of your feedback about the cover art. All the people who couldn't get into our call-in show left us messages and we've put that all together. And of course we have the lovely Scribby 5. So, hey! You know, John, guess what?
JN: What's that?
MA: This podcast is brought to you by Borders.
JN: Oh, yeah!
MA: Yeah, it is.
JN: This one's brought by them, too? That's awesome!
MA: Yep. I know, isn't it amazing? They have a nice little run going here.
JN: It's like they like us.
MA: They really like us.
SU: They like us. Yay!

JN: You'd think they'd give you some other stickers if you wanted some other stickers instead?
SU: No.
JN: Like Peter Pan stickers or something?
MA: (laughs) Anyway, announcements this week. As we've been saying we will be at Phoenix Rising, the Harry Potter convention. Registration is now closed for Phoenix Rising, (JN: Aw!) but if you, I know sad, if you haven't gotten your registration, you may be out of luck. Anyway, May 17th, the opening dinner, we will be doing a PotterCast right after everybody is finished with their stew. Also at Phoenix Rising we'll be taking a trip to Habitat for Humanity. We are still trying to work out details on opening this up to more people. Our live PotterCast there will feature Matt of the Whomping Willows, no! Matt who is the Whomping Willows. (SU: Yes, yes! Yay!) And Brian of Draco and the Malfoys. Do the Podcast Alley thing. Do the Digg thing. Go to HarryPotterSeven.com. Buy a record from the Wizard Rock EP of the Month Club. And that's all of our announcements; and it's time to go to Sue's news, right?
SU: Yes!
MA: Come on, Suze, let's have some news.
SU: Okay.
JN: Come on, Suze!
