Muggle Reality Show

Ben: We just all live in a big house together.

Andrew: Do a whole reality show.

Laura: We can just all move to California and get a giant apartment.

Andrew: We'll call it Muggle Survivor or Muggle Brother.

[Laura and Nick laugh]

Andrew: Big Muggle Brother. [laughs]

Ben: Yeah, then we can vote people off and stuff.

Andrew: Yeah. Oh, that would be terrible. [laughs]

Ben: That would be awesome! We should do that. We should vote somebody off the show each week until there's one person left. They have to do the show for the rest of time by themselves.

Andrew: Well, I would win. No doubt.

Laura: Have fun with that.

Andrew: I would.

Ben: That's because you'd cheat.

Call: Who Actually Likes Harry Because He's The Chosen One?

Andrew: I - no, I would create alliances with everyone. All right. [laughs] Well, let's take some more calls now. Hey, Sam. Sam Watchman, MuggleSpace mod and aspiring MuggleNet staff member.

Caller: Hey.

Andrew: You're on the show. What's up?

Caller: I'm good, thanks. How are you?

Andrew: I'm just fine.

Caller: Good.

Andrew: What do you think of the trailer?

Caller: I'm - it was all right. Nothing special, really.

[Andrew laughs]

Caller: But I was watching that and I thought I'd look back on the old ones.

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: And the scene in the library where Hermione goes, "Ginny likes you because you're The Chosen One."

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: They changed it in the newest one and it says, "He only likes you - or he's only interested in you because you're The Chosen One."

Andrew: Really?

Caller: It's - yeah.

Laura: It's true.

Caller: I may be wrong. I hope not because I'll sound like an idiot now.

[Andrew laughs]

Laura: Yeah, you're right. They did.

Nick: No, I noticed that, you're right.

Andrew: Oh, hold on. Let me - let's play it. Let's all listen.

Ben: Ooh.

Andrew: Oh, wait. Hold on. I'm not a professional podcaster. Here we go. Rewind. Okay.

[Trailer clip plays]

Andrew: Uh-huh.

Ben: It wasn't even there.

Andrew: I heard a weird cut though. Did you guys hear that cut?

Laura: Yeah.

Ben: Play it again.

[Clip plays again]

Nick: It's a dubbing error, perhaps?

Andrew: Yeah. It's because... [cuts] ..."he thinks you're The Chosen One." There's a lot of very bad editing in this video.

Laura: Well, I think...

Nick: And it's right after Slughorn just said...

Laura: ...what they were trying to do...

Nick: Just talked about Harry. And it's all about Slughorn. And then it says, "He's only interested in you..."

Andrew: Right. Yeah. Well, I - yeah. Hmm, that's weird.

Ben: Hmm.

Andrew: I doubt they changed the scenes so it's a guy. I mean, because wouldn't - wait. What would that scene create?

[Laura laughs]

Ben: Dan has...

Andrew: Dan would have someone...

Caller: It was a guy in the corner and not a girl.

Andrew: No, it wasn't.

[Laura laughs]

Andrew: Shut up.

[Ben laughs]

Andrew: Was it really?

Ben: Jo's going to drop another bombshell.

[Andrew and Laura laugh]

Ben: "Harry was gay all along!"

Andrew: [laughs] Couldn't you tell? Hold on.

[Laura laughs]

Andrew: No, you can't tell. This trailer's too crumby quality. You were kidding, right, Sam?

Caller: Well, you never know. It could be a guy.

[Everyone laughs]

Call: Harry-Ginny Kiss

Andrew: I guess so, I guess so. Any other revealing aspects from the trailer you have for us?

Caller: The kiss with Ginny.

Andrew: What about it?

Caller: It's a bit...

Andrew: Oh.

Caller: Is it - I take it it isn't the first kiss. Could it be the break-up kiss?

Andrew: What time is it at? I don't remember the...

Laura: It's the same one we've seen in the trailers before.

Caller: It's the same as Cho, sort of. The same position.

Andrew: Oh.

Caller: But with the first kiss, it was meant to be Happy Birthday sort of kiss.

Andrew: Does anyone have a...

Caller: But...

Andrew: ...time code?

Laura: No. It's up to you, Andrew.

[Andrew laughs]

Laura: The show depends on you.

Caller: I think it's 1:39.

Andrew: Oh. Oh, yeah, yeah. We saw this during the first Half-Blood Prince sneak peek when they were filming it. It's on YouTube.

Caller: Some people are talking about it, and it doesn't look like it's the first kiss. So it was, like - is it the break-up one?

Andrew: Maybe. I don't know. I'm not a believer in break-up kisses. Leaves things too open.

Ben: It's... [laughs]

Andrew: What?

Ben: Oh, I was just laughing at the idea of a break-up kiss.

Andrew: Oh. [laughs] Yeah.

Ben: Like, "This is it. Oh, can I just get one more kiss?"

Andrew: "Just one more." [laughs] I had an experience like that. Should I say that on the air?

Ben: Just did.

Laura: Why not? Share your stories, Andrew.

Andrew: Oh, whoops. [clears throat] Well, it was about a year ago. No, I'm kidding about the year ago thing. Anyway, all right - I told the person, though. Anyway, thanks, Sam. They were...

Caller: Try and nail 'em.

Andrew: Ah, no problem. Bye. Man, Harry being gay. I don't know. [laughs] It'd be a little too much for me. Kramer, hi, you're on MuggleCast Live.

Call: Caller Apologizes to John Noe

Caller: Hey.

Andrew: What's up, dude?

Caller: Nothing.

Andrew: Were you on the show last week?

Caller: Yeah, I was.

Andrew: Yeah, I recognize you. You were that really chill guy.

Ben: Cut him out, Andrew, he can't be on the show twice.

[Andrew laughs]

Ben: No, I'm just kidding.

Andrew: Anyway, what do you think about the trailer?

Caller: I thought it was cool, but - yeah, like you said I think there was a lot of poor editing in it, though.

Andrew: Yeah. For video professionals like you and I, Kramer, it's not up to standards.

Caller: Right. [laughs]

[Andrew laughs]

Caller: Also, I just wanted to apologize to John Noe for yelling out that he was telling people to spam your show.

Andrew: Oh, it wasn't true?

Caller: Oh well, yeah it was, but you never know.

Andrew: Oh. [clears throat] Very professional of him. Anyway... [laughs]

Caller: Right.

Andrew: All right. Thank you, Kramer.

Caller: Yep, bye.

MuggleSpace Update

Andrew: MuggleSpace update, we have 9952 people! So we're inching ever closer to that 10,000 mark. I have...

Ben: There's currently 92 people on the chat. Let's get it to a hundred.

Andrew: [laughs] Let's break it. Yeah.

Ben: Let's break a hundred.

[Andrew laughs]

Ben: We get it to a hundred, I'll do something crazy.

Call: "The Chosen One" Scenes

Andrew: Ooh, uh-oh. Uh-oh, what's he going to do? Amanda, you're on MuggleCast Live. Hello.

[Feedback from stream]

Andrew: Mute your feed, please. Hello, Amanda.

Caller: Hi!

Andrew: Hey, what's up?

Caller: Oh, Snape! You - I - you answered my call. I'm so excited.

Andrew: [laughs] Did you just say "Oh, Snape"?

Caller: I definitely did.

[Amanda and Andrew laugh]

Caller: I was actually going to mention, when you guys were talking about how they definitely use The Chosen One lines a lot...

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: ...and when they did the thing - they reused the scene with, "She's only interested in you because you're The Chosen One," I think that was kind of out of place in there, because everything else seemed sort of dark, and they just threw in a comedy out of nowhere.

Andrew: Yeah. Yeah, I agree, but I think that one scene in this Japanese trailer that you - "But I am The Chosen One" - it wasn't really in a comedic form, because...

Micah: Well, she slaps him on the head with the newspaper.

Caller: Yeah.

Andrew: Yeah, but it's missing - I don't know, I think it's missing that - that extra shot where she's - that girl in the background - or apparently now guy - is daydreaming about Harry.

Caller: Yeah, that was a guy. [laughs]

Laura: Well, it was awkward because they were sort of using that to get the point across that Slughorn was interested in having Harry around because Harry's The Chosen One. But the whole context of the scene originally was that a girl liked Harry. So it's like they're trying to mix these two elements and it doesn't work very well.

Andrew: Yeah. Good point. What should they have done? I think it's important, though, to keep in some funny bits though, don't you think?

Caller: Yeah, but I mean they could have probably put it somewhere differently, because like you guys said, the ending was horrible. I think they just threw it in randomly somewhere where it didn't fit at all.

Andrew: Right. Yeah, you're right. Well...

Comedy

Micah: There are some comedic lines, though, between Dumbledore and Harry. We talked about the one at the beginning of the show, about...

Andrew: Yeah, the vomit.

Micah: ...the vomiting, and then Harry also says that he's getting used to Dumbledore surprising him.

Andrew: Yeah. I got to say, I love Steve Kloves. There's been a ton of clever things in this movie that - or at least in these trailers - that we're seeing, that are not as like corny as in past films. Granted, he did write those too, except for Order of the Phoenix, but I think - have you guys noticed that the writing for this film has changed at all or is it just me?

Laura: Eh, I mean there are some funny bits but - and this seems to happen with a lot of movies - they put the best lines and the best scenes from their movie in the trailer. And I've noticed that a lot with Harry Potter. Like they'll put the funniest lines in the trailer, and then when you go see the movie everybody laughs like they've never heard it before.

[Andrew laughs]

Laura: And you're just sitting there like, "Oh yeah, I've heard this six times."

Andrew: Yeah. [laughs]

Laura: You know?

Andrew: Yeah. Well, that's why I hate watching all the clips, the promotional clips that they put up, and sometimes they're like, full scenes. Yahoo! always has up those full scenes and it's just - it's kind of annoying, because you don't want half the movie to be spoiled for you. All right! Well... [laughs] ...thank you, Amanda, for calling in.

Caller: Thank you so much for answering my call.

Andrew: You're welcome. It's a Friday night. Are you doing anything tonight?

Caller: Actually, I'm not. I'm going to finish listening to this podcast while I'm watching T.V.

Andrew: Oh.

Caller: It's my birthday on Sunday, so...

Andrew: Oh, well, Happy Birthday.

Laura: Happy Birthday.

Caller: Yeah. I'm going to see Equus on Broadway. [laughs]

Andrew: Oh nice.

Laura: That's a good birthday.

Caller: Yeah, I'm so excited.

Andrew: Take some pictures, if you know what I'm saying. [laughs sarcastically]

[Amanda laughs]

Andrew: Just kidding!

Caller: I know exactly what you're saying.

Andrew: [laughs] All right, well, thank you for calling in, Amanda. Have a - have a Happy Birthday weekend.

Caller: Thank you. Bye guys.

Will Deathly Hallows Overshadow Half-Blood Prince?

Andrew: Bye. Equus is running for, what, another month I think? Well, it's got to be because Half-Blood - or Deathly Hallows filming starts. Let's talk about that for a second. Emma Watson revealed on her official site that test shooting begins Monday. What do you guys think?

Laura: Nice. It's exciting.

Andrew: It's - it's kind of unbelievable that they're filming this next film and Half-Blood Prince won't be out for another six months.

Micah: I think Deathly Hallows is going to end up overshadowing Half-Blood Prince. I know we talked about this on a previous show, but I really think that's what's going to end up happening. Because you're going to have a lot of news coming out of the filming over the next couple of months and maybe get something from WB, but I think Half-Blood Prince is going to fall in the wayside. I don't think people are going to be as into it leading up as they normally would be.

Andrew: Do you think that - well, what do you mean exactly by overshadowing?

Micah: News-wise, I think, you know, particularly because this is the final film. It's not like you're dealing with a delay in Order of the Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince is starting filming. This is the final film.

Andrew: Yeah.

Micah: And so they're going to pay a lot more attention to it than they normally would, I think. And I think the news is going to be that much more important to everybody. I don't know what anybody else thinks of that, but I think Half-Blood Prince is going to get overshadowed.

Andrew: How about everyone else?

Ben: I'm not so sure. I think that anytime you have a - I mean sure, the filming - the cycle has always been - there's always been one film being made about the other time the other comes out, right? Isn't that pretty usual?

Andrew: Not really. No, because usually it's a couple weeks after the premieres they start filming again.

Ben: Oh, okay. I mean, I don't know. I think people are just going to be so excited for the movie and it's not going to matter.

Andrew: I think WB is going to be orchestrating it so they don't get in the way of each other. Because I don't think they would want Deathly Hallows to overshadow Half-Blood Prince. And I just don't think - I don't know. The Potter franchise is too much of a powerhouse. I don't think you can have it overshadow itself, in a way. They're not going to be releasing interviews about Deathly Hallows until after Half-Blood Prince is out, I would think.

Laura: I really don't know.

Call: Dumbledore Taking the Tube

Andrew: But I guess we'll have to wait and see. Didn't we have a caller on? No, we didn't. Let's get another caller in here. Andrew Carol, what's up, dude? You're on MuggleCast Live.

Caller: Hi.

Andrew: What's up, man?

Caller: I was wondering what - at the beginning of the trailer, there's like a - Dumbledore is in a subway thing.

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: Why is he in a...

Andrew: [laughs] Anyone got any ideas on that? Why Dumbledore's in a...

Laura: He wants to decrease his carbon footprint.

Andrew: [laughs] What?

[Andrew Carol laughs]

Andrew: I - it is weird. Oh, you know what? Just random fact, the trailer that is playing over top - sorry - the movie that was finished playing while this trailer was on was Goblet of Fire. If you watch the beginning, it's the Goblet of Fire parchments. So anyway, I don't know. It's kind of strange. What do you guys think? Why is he there?

Caller: He's on his way to Slughorn's house. [laughs]

Andrew: Yeah, but why in the Underground? That's not in the book.

Micah: Are you talking about when the Apparates?

Andrew: No, no, no, in the subway. Of course, over in England, it's called the Underground.

[Andrew Carol laughs]

Micah: Oh. Let me take a look.

Andrew: Nick, any ideas?

Nick: No idea. It's very unusual.

Andrew: Yeah.

Nick: I mean, unless it's sort of in there to - as a bit of foreshadowing with the whole - with how Deathly Hallows ends, I suppose.

Andrew: Yeah, maybe.

Nick: Tie it in there.

Andrew: To get London in there a little more?

Laura Went to the Presidential Inauguration

Caller: And I also have another question for Laura. How was the inauguration? [laughs]

Laura: Oh my God it was amazing!

[Andrew laughs]

Caller: Really?

Laura: It was fantastic. I mean we stood for twelve hours so...

[Andrew Carol laughs]

Laura: ...we were really really tired, and we were about to pass out, and the police didn't know what they were doing but...

[Andrew Carol laughs]

Laura: ...actually being there was fantastic.

Caller: Ah.

Laura: It was such a wonderful feeling and I'm still full of hope.

[Andrew and Andrew Carol laugh]

Ben: Yes. We. Did.

[Andrew laughs]

Laura: Yes we did.

Andrew: Some people are calling Obama the Kingsley Shacklebolt of the American world. What do you guys think about that?

Laura: Hmm.

Andrew: [laughs] No? [laughs]

Caller: Change is coming. [laughs]

Andrew: Yes.

Laura: I never really thought about it, but, sure I guess.

Andrew: Well, Andrew, thank you for calling in.

Caller: No problem.

Andrew: Bye.

Caller: [unintelligible] [laughs]

Andrew: What did he say?

Micah: I don't know.

Laura: I don't know. [laughs]

Call: The Rating

Andrew: All right. Jenny, you're on MuggleCast Live. Good evening.

Caller: Hello?

Andrew: Hi, you're on MuggleCast Live.

Caller: Hi. Sorry.

Andrew: It's okay. What is your question about the trailer?

[Jenny laughs]

Andrew: Or your comment.

Caller: [laughs] Sorry. I - editing quality aside - I really liked this trailer. Though I agree with you guys said earlier in the program about why they would rate it PG, because this trailer does seem to showcase a lot of the darker elements of the film.

Andrew: Yeah. Do you have any ideas why it would be rated PG?

Caller: I don't know. Aside from - again, you guys spoke earlier about it - about how if you look back at films that were rated PG or even R in the seventies and in the eighties, they probably wouldn't be rated be PG today. And this is even - aside from the fact that they didn't have the PG-13 rating then - I think that's part of it.

Andrew: So really the MPAA has gotten stricter.

Caller: Or softer, rather.

Andrew: Well, no, I mean, because if Jaws was rated PG in '75 and wouldn't it be rated PG-13 now? Or no?

Caller: I don't know. With all the violence it might actually be rated R. I have to admit I never got all the way through Jaws.

Andrew: Oh.

Caller: Because when I saw it about nine years old and it scared the crap out of me.

Andrew: [laughs] Yeah, exactly. [laughs] So yeah, I don't know. But Nick's idea was very interesting last week; he was saying the trailers over there are rated 12A, which is the equivalent to PG-13. So, it's like, could this be the first time that a film gets rated a higher rating in England than it does over here? Just...

Caller: That is pretty interesting.

Andrew: Yeah. But I wonder, on the other hand, what is it, Nick? The British Film Classification Board?

Nick: Yeah. BBFC.

Andrew: I wonder if they were influenced at all by the MPAA. I would kind of think so.

Nick: Well, the earlier trailers are actually PG and actually the latest one's 12A.

Andrew: Oh, I see. Hmm. That's so weird!

Nick: But I mean, if they're putting a 12A in there surely the overall rating has to be a 12 too because it's made up of the same part.

Andrew: Right. Right. Was the third one that we got darker than the others?

Caller: I think it was.

Andrew: I guess so. I can't even remember.

Caller: At least it had - it seemed to bring those darker elements to the forefront. I mean, there are some slightly lighter moments like the Slug Club dinner when they do the little toast thing, but a lot of it's pretty dark.

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: Especially at the very end of it where you see that scene...

Andrew: The bodies crawling up to the - are you talking about the Japanese trailer?

Caller: Yeah, the Japanese trailer. Yeah. Right at the end sort of starting with you see Ron passed out on the floor and then going through the - it's lots of action and...

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: ...bad things happening.

Andrew: Yeah. [laughs]

Micah: Right.

Andrew: I'm so confused! I think the MPAA made a mistake.

Micah: I do too. I think we should write to them.

Andrew: [laughs] We should! Or call them! We can get them in for an interview or something.

Micah: Well you just brought up...

Laura: How about it? Let's call them right now.

Micah: ...a whole new thing with the Inferi crawling out of the lake, and you also have Sectumsempra. Is that going to be in this film or is that cut too?

Caller: I heard that it - I heard from - I'm not sure where, but a lot of - the rumor going around just said that they cut it from the film.

Andrew: Hmm.

Micah: Yeah, because if that happens, that's PG-13 in of itself.

Andrew: Right.

Caller: Definitely.

Nick: They could probably just tone it down though.

Andrew: Right. Hey, should we call the MPAA right now? I found a number.

Micah: Yeah, let's.

Andrew: [laughs] Okay. All right, Jenny, thanks for joining us.

Caller: Yeah, thanks for taking my call.

Call: Hagrid Calls the Show

Andrew: You're welcome. Bye. Actually, before we do that, I'll just take one more caller. Hello? Caller?

Ben: [as Hagrid] Hello!

Andrew: Oh! Hagrid!

Ben: [as Hagrid] Can I speak to Laura?

Andrew: Oh, sure, sure, sure. Laura, Hagrid's on the phone for you.

Laura: Oh, really? Hi. How's it going?

Ben: [as Hagrid] Laura! It's Rubeus Hagrid!

Laura: Wow. It's been a long time since I heard from you. What's going on?

Ben: [as Hagrid] I was wondering if you wanted to go back to my hut and help me tame a dragon.

[Everyone laughs]

Laura: Uhh...

Andrew: What do you say, Laura?

Laura: Uhh...

Andrew: Pretty big honor.

Laura: I don't know, I think - I don't know. I think Madame Maxime would be pretty upset about that.

[Andrew laughs]

Laura: I don't think I can... [laughs]

Ben: [as Hagrid] Oh, what she don't know won't hurt her.

Laura: No, I've got things to do. Sorry. But Hagrid, I do hear that your good friend Ben Schoen - all the people in the chat really want him to sing. On the show.

Ben: [as Hagrid] Oh. I can't...

Laura: Maybe you could talk to him about that?

Ben: [as Hagrid] I'll put in a word.

Laura: Okay. I'd...

[Andrew laughs]

Laura: ...really appreciate that.

Andrew: All right. All right. Thank you, Hagrid. Ben, did you hear that? Hagrid just called.

Ben: I know, I stepped away for a minute. I was in the bathroom.

Andrew: You always step away when he's here. I don't get it.

Ben: I know. It's - it doesn't make any sense. I keep missing him.

Andrew: Bad timing. Yeah. All right.

Ben: But Hagrid - but Laura, Hagrid did want me to tell you that he's expecting a phone call later, so you really got to come through, so...

Laura: All right, all right. I'll - I'll give him a call.

Andrew: I think it'd be worth it, Laura.

Laura: Sure, yeah.

Andrew: He proposed a marriage. I think something could happen between you all.

Ben: Oh and by the way, speaking of marriage, someone by the name of Charlie in the chat really likes Micah and I just wanted to...

Andrew: Aww.

Ben: ...let Micah know.

Andrew: You have a friend, Micah.

Micah: Oh, well, thanks.

Andrew Calls the MPAA

Andrew: All right we're calling the MPAA.

MPAA Representative: Motion Picture Association.

Laura: This is like a [unintelligible] show.

Andrew: Hello?

MPAA Representative: Hello?

Andrew: Hi, I have a question about a rating for a film.

MPAA Representative: Okay, one moment.

Andrew: Okay. Let's get to the bottom of this.

Ben: Did you really just call the MPAA?

Andrew: Yeah.

[Laura and Ben laugh]

Andrew: [whispering] Shh, everyone, be quiet.

[Telephone rings]

Andrew: Very concerned.

MPAA Answering Machine: Sorry... [long beep]

[Andrew sighs]

MPAA Answering Machine: ...is not available. Record your message at the tone. [short beep]

Andrew: Hi, this is Andrew Sims calling from MuggleNet.com. We had a question about the recent trailer rating for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. It received a PG rating, and we wanted to know if the MPAA would like to comment on that given that the two previous films, Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, were both rated PG-13. So if you could give us a call back it would be greatly appreciated. My number is 1-218 MAGIC. M-A-G-I-C. Thank you. Bye.

Laura: You gave the wrong number.

Ben: Andrew, why didn't you give your cell phone number? Did you forget it? It's 609...

Andrew: [laughs] Shut up!

[Laura and Micah laugh]

Andrew: I wanted - I want...

Laura: It's [unintelligible].

Andrew: I forgot - what did I say?

Laura: [laughs] You said, "1-218 MAGIC."

Andrew: Oh. Darn! All right, I'll call back later.

Laura: She's going to be like, "What?"

Andrew: I'll call back later and get a real - damn. I blew my one shot. Damn it!

[Andrew and Laura laugh]

Andrew: Anyway. I guess she's out for the day. It's almost 5:00. Well, it was worth a shot, right? [laughs]

Micah: Yeah.

Call: The Harry-Ginny Kiss Again, Broadbent as Slughorn, and the PG Rating

Andrew: All right, here comes another MuggleSpace mod. Madame Rosmerta. Hello, you're on MuggleCast Live.

Caller: Hello?

Andrew: Hi.

Caller: Hi, how are you?

Andrew: I'm doing good, how are you?

Caller: I'm good. I'm...

Ben: Are you actually Madame Rosmerta? Can you bring me some butterbeer?

[Andrew laughs]

Caller: Sure. I'll get a fresh Butterbeer right away.

[Andrew laughs]

Ben: Thank you. You're awesome.

Caller: I don't think I called earlier about the kiss. We were talking about that on the chat and we were just saying how I personally didn't feel like it was the kiss that we saw in the book. Well, definitely wasn't. The kiss in the book was in a room full of people and it was exciting, it was like, "Oh my God. Harry and Ginny are kissing."

Andrew: Right.

Caller: And now this is kind of just depressing.

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: And also, I was watching the new trailer and I just really - I was hesitant about Jim Broadbent playing Slughorn, but seeing the scene where he's taking the memory out of his mind...

Andrew: Oh yeah.

Caller: ...it just really kind of sealed the deal for me. He looks physically sick like he's in pain and really scared of sharing that memory with somebody else.

Andrew: Yeah, it was really cool. I was pretty impressed by him too. There's also this other clip I actually - I didn't play yet. It's Harry asking Slughorn about Voldemort, and I thought really - Slughorn really shined through. So I'll play it right now.

[Clip plays]

Andrew: That is pretty freaking cool, wasn't it? Especially Harry. He's like, "PROFESSOR!?"

[Madame Rosmerta and Nick laugh]

Caller: No I'm just saying - I just - and as far as the PG rating goes, I know Eric was saying last week that he doesn't think this film or this book is as dark as the others.

Andrew: Mhm.

Caller: And I think there are so many dark elements in this book that we haven't seen before, like the Inferi. Those are scary creatures.

Andrew: Yeah really! Especially that scene where they're crawling up to Dumbledore.

Caller: Yeah.

Andrew: I mean...

Caller: So I'm confused how - where the PG rating is coming from.

Andrew: Yeah.

Caller: But considering that Jaws killed business on the Jersey shore for that July 4th weekends, that kind of makes me a little more positive.

Andrew: Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? What about the Jersey shore?

Caller: [laughs] You said Jaws was rated PG, right?

Andrew: Oh yes.

Caller: The weekend that came out there was no beach goers on the Jersey shore.

Andrew: Oh. [laughs] Wow.

Caller: So maybe - maybe this will be as scary.

Andrew: Yeah. A PG movie shouldn't be able to do that.

Caller: No.
