Quote Quiz

Andrew: Got it. Okay, there's our in depth look at the chapter. It's time for: Quote quote quiz quiz quiz quiz! "Tomorrow's the first match of the season, I believe. Gryffindor against Slytherin, is it not? I hear you're a useful player. I was a seeker, too."

Ben: Charlie Weasley.

Andrew: No.

Ben: "I was a seeker, too..."

Andrew: [sings] "I was a seeker too." It was Lockhart.

Ben: Oh, that rotten Lockhart.

Andrew: I know, and he goes on to make more outrageous claims. So next week we'll be talking about Chapters 10 through...

Ben: Oh, is it just one quote?

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: Oh, that's not a quiz.

Andrew: Yes it is.

Ben: It's a question.

Andrew: It's a pop quiz.

Ben: It's a pop question.

[Andrew and Mikey laugh]

Ben: A quiz is multiple questions.

Andrew: Quote quote question question!

Mikey: I was prepared to do number two.

Andrew: Oh, do you want to do one?

Mikey: No, no, its fine, I thought it was pop question now.

Muggle Mail: Poor Wizard Families

Andrew: Oh, sorry. Next week we will be discussion Chapters 10 through 12. Send in your questions and feedback about these upcoming chapters, as well as the chapters we have just discussed. So, thank you for that. We have some e-mails now before we get into the Sorting Hat, and of course Dear Emma. Ben, would you like to take that first e-mail?

Ben: Yes. Miranda, 18, from New Zealand writes:

"Dear MuggleCasters, on the topic of families who are too poor to send their kids to Hogwarts, in 'Half-Blood Prince' when Dumbledore goes to the orphanage to tell Tom Riddle he's a wizard, he says that there is a fund for those who can't afford to buy robes and books. Lots of love, Miranda."

Micah: I think we spoke about...

Ben: Oh, we were talking about financial aid for Hogwarts students.

Micah: Yeah, financial aid for people who can't afford to go.

Ben: So could the Weasleys get part of their robes subsidized or something? Or is that...

[Andrew and Micah laugh]

Andrew: I don't know.

Micah: I would look into that.

Andrew: Yeah, I don't know, good question.

Mikey: I think the Weasleys would be too proud to take a handout from Dumbledore.

Ben: Yeah, I could see that.

Andrew: Micah, could you read the next e-mail?

Muggle Mail: Malfoy's Malice

Micah: Yup. Next e-mail comes from Summer from San Antonio, Texas, and she says:

"Hey MuggleCast folks, I know you hear this a lot so I will keep this short. Y'all rock." but then she goes onto say, "Last podcast when y'all were discussing that there were really no hints that Mr. Malfoy had placed Tom's diary in Ginny's book, I went back and read that section and though it might be a stretch, I thought it was interesting that Jo said Mr. Malfoy's eyes were 'glittering with malice' on page 63 of the U.S. edition. I looked up the word and according to the Oxford Dictionary, and it means 'the desire to do harm to someone, ill will.' It doesn't seem like 'malice' would be the right word if he was just angry and fired up at the mini-throw down between him and Mr. Weasley. A word like, well, 'anger' would seem more fitting, malice sounds a lot more sinister. He's also looking straight at Ginny when he's got the malice in his eyes, and glittering implies that he's going to enjoy whatever is about to happen. He also makes a point to give it straight to Ginny, which is a very odd gesture in itself. One would expect him to throw it on the floor in disgust, or not pick it up at all. It would be suspicious, if not for the insult he throws in, 'Here girl, it's the best your father can give you' to cover his tracks. Like I said, it may seem like a bit of a stretch, and by now I have read it so many times that I'd like to find something here. But just thought I'd share. It is also a lot more fun to analyze Harry Potter than macroeconomics. Thanks for reading, and keep up the awesome job."

Andrew: Well that's a good point. And I'm - what?

Ben: I was going to say I agree. There's a reason why we don't do MacroeconomicsCast.

[Everyone laughs]

Mikey: Yeah.

Andrew: Well, yes. I was also referring to the "glittering with malice," I think that's a nice little research that Summer did there. Because I'm happy now, I am satisfied. There was a hint, we just had to look up the definition of word to get it. All right Mikey, you want to read the next e-mail from Sami, from your old hometown of California? Home state?

Muggle Mail: Ginny's Diary

Mikey: Home state, not hometown, but sure, why not? Sami, no age, from California:

"Hi, MuggleCasters. I was listening to the latest episode when you talked about how Ginny insists on going back for her diary on the way to King's Cross. Remembering the scene made me wonder if at this point, only a few days after she had first gotten the diary, Ginny was already possessed. Diaries are usually kept secret, so it doesn't seem like she would tell her entire family and Harry that she had one unless it was extremely important to her. She could have quietly asked one of her parents to mail it to her. If she was already possessed, it would give some insight into how powerful Horcruxes are, and again show how amazing Harry is for never being possessed at all in his work with the Horcruxes. Just wanted to hear your thoughts, you guys are amazing, and I adore the show. Thanks!"

Ben: Well, when she's - when they're on the way to King's Cross she can't exactly be like, "I need to go back!" Then they would say, "What do you need?" She has to tell them that her - she's going back to get her diary. But is he saying the Horcrux creates this attachment to the diary, where she just needs the diary at all costs?

Andrew: I think that's what Sami's saying, yeah.

Mikey: Yeah, I think Sami's saying that - could Ginny have already been affected by the diary in the short period of time that she's had it, before she goes to Hogwarts.

Ben: I think so, because I imagine when she first started writing in the diary, she's emotionally vulnerable, she has a crush on Harry, she has all these things, and there's probably one point where she sat down for hours and just poured her entire heart out to this thing. To something that would finally listen to her, something that would finally give her some feedback.

Andrew: Yeah, yeah.

Ben: So she probably - she definitely had that emotional connection established.

Mikey: I agree.

Muggle Mail: Harry's Easiest Year

Andrew: Next e-mail comes from Luke McClay, 14, of [Irish accent] Northern Ireland:

Hi MuggleCast, first of all I love the show, I am loving the Chapter-by-Chapter segments the most. My question is..."

And this is a really interesting question!

"What do you guys believe to be Harry's easiest year in Hogwarts? Or what year do you think the least happened to Harry or the trio. Once again love the show guys, keep up the great work, thanks."

Harry's easiest year, that's a good question I thought because he faces trouble every year.

Micah: Prisoner of Azkaban.

Andrew: Yeah, that was my gut.

Mikey: I was going to say Prisoner of Azkaban because he doesn't face anything bad, he's just in constant fear of Sirius Black until he finds out he's a good guy.

Andrew: Yeah, well I mean he's also really - I think you could argue he's in pretty constant fear in every book too. There's always something going on. What do you think Ben?

Ben: I think Prisoner of Azkaban would probably be the best, because in that book he actually gets the chance or he actually that he gets to live with Sirius and all these great things.

Andrew: Yeah there's a lot to hope for.

Ben: There's a lot to hope for, even though it all gets crushed. He's used to it at that point.

Mikey: [laughs] It's just another day in the...

Ben: It's just another day in the life of Harry Potter.

Andrew: What would you say is his hardest then?

Ben: Year 7.

Andrew: Year 7?

Ben: I mean, that's when it's all kind of culminating, he's out on the run and there is a lot of unknowns. He can't even say "Voldemort" anymore because the Trace is on, and it's just all really, really intense and then there's a lot of deaths going on, destruction. It's abound.

Mikey: I agree with Ben completely and it's one of those things, he doesn't have guidance that year, it's all up to him. He has that fight with Ron because Ron's like "Well we thought you had some idea of what we were actually doing," he was totally at a loss of what to do. He had an idea of where he wanted to go, but he didn't know what the Horcruxes were or where they were.

Andrew: I was going say Order of the Phoenix because yeah, okay, he has to fight Voldemort in Book 7, but Order of the Phoenix...

[Mikey laughs]

Andrew: ...he has this incredible amount of emotional - he's facing this incredible emotional struggle throughout the book.

Ben: "Who's Cedric, your boyfriend?"

[Andrew and Micah laugh]

Andrew: No, but I mean, you just think about how infuriated he was at Umbridge, how infuriated he was about these thoughts going on inside of his head and these dreams. Jo has said it herself that that was a very challenging book for Harry. Harry's very angry.

Ben: Well that was his most annoying year for sure.

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: Because he was a punk in that book. Him and Sirius both.

Andrew: Micah what do you think?

Micah: Yeah it's probably a toss-up between Order of the Phoenix and Deathly Hallows.

Ben: What about losing Dumbledore in Book 6? I mean come on, that's a big blow.

Andrew: That's the thing, that's why it's...

Mikey: What about Year 1? When he finds out he's a wizard? And then he has to face off with Lord Voldemort for the very first time?

Ben: That's a lot to handle, that's a lot to handle.

Andrew: Yeah, well that's why it's an interesting question, guys! There's crazy...

Ben: What about Year 2...

[Andrew laughs]

Mikey: He fights a giant snake!

Ben: ...when he has to go fight a giant snake! I mean, come on!

Mikey: I mean seriously, wow! He had a hard life!

Ben: Wow, he had a hard life.

Andrew: I remember - I still remember this so vividly. Some things you remember, like, insanely vividly over like ten years. I was sitting in the kitchen with my Mom and I was talking to her about Chamber of Secrets, how it's coming into the theater soon. And I was, like, [in a childish voice] "Mom, this one's really dark because Harry gets to actually put a sword through a dragon! And it's probably going to be rated PG-13 or something." And she was, like, "Oh wow. It sounds dark." But it's just so funny to me.

Ben: You told her he put a sword through a dragon?

[Micah laughs]

Andrew: Or snake, sorry. That's what I meant. Not a dragon.

Ben: Wow.

Mikey: Uh-huh. Yeah.

Andrew: No, I'm serious. [laughs] I just screwed up right now. Sorry. But anyway...

[Ben laughs]

Andrew: I mean, it's just...

Mikey: Yeah, sure.

Andrew: ...so funny to think, like - as a twelve year old, I was like, "Oh my God, it's getting so dark so quick." But that was nothing.

Ben: That was nothing. You had no idea what you were in store for.

Andrew: Micah, what's that second to last - or Ben. We'll continue the order. Ben, can you read the...

Muggle Mail: Jo's Latest Work

Ben: Yes.

Andrew: ...next email?

Ben: Joel Kvas-Hinder from Western Australia writes:

"Hi guys! I'm an episode or two behind, but I was listening to 182 and you guys were talking about what J.K. Rowling could possibly be working on now due to her recent tweet. I noticed you didn't mention what had been mentioned on 'J.K. Rowling: A Year in the Life,' which was that she had enough of Potter for the moment. I therefore don't believe she is working on the H.P. Encyclopedia. The documentary does mention that she had once again begun writing and when asked about it she says: "It's a political fairy tale." That was all she would reveal. Unless I have missed a story about her cancelling out this idea or something, I do believe that this is why pen and paper is her priority at the moment. Thanks for all the awesome shows. I really enjoy listening, and Andrew, Ben, and Micah are my favorites."

Andrew: Aw, I'm sorry Mikey.

Ben: Aw, poor Mikey.

Mikey: It's all right. I'm always forgotten. It's okay.

Andrew: I had remembered she did say she was doing this political fairy tale, but - I'm sorry, maybe I'm just really stubborn. But I just can't picture J.K. Rowling doing something before Harry Potter is all over. I just, like, see that she...

Ben: What?

Andrew: I think she has to be completely done with Harry Potter. I can't see her going to this political fairy tale, and then going back to an encyclopedia.

Ben: Why not?

Mikey: I...

Ben: I mean...

Andrew: Because...

Ben: ...you go over to Twilight Source...

[Andrew laughs]

Ben: ...and then come back to work on MuggleNet. [laughs] Why can't she go...

[Andrew laughs]

Ben: ...work on the political...

Andrew: Because she's...

Ben: ...fairy tale?

Andrew: ...the author of the book! [laughs]

Ben: Jo, don't do this to us! Stick with Harry!

[Micah laughs]

Andrew: I don't know. I mean, I certainly wouldn't complain. Of course, we'd all love to see this new work by J.K. Rowling. But...

Ben: Isn't Harry Potter kind of a political fairy tale?

Andrew: Yeah.

Mikey: It kind of is.

Ben: Like, if you think about it.

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: All Harry Potter is - like, the more and more I think about it, it's just, like, she put up a mirror of the world.

[Andrew laughs]

Ben: And she's like, "Hey, here's what's going on, guys."

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: And then everybody sees...

Andrew: I...

Ben: ...different bits and pieces of themselves in it.

Andrew: Yeah. There are lots of parallels. But what if she made this into a big series? I mean, you know she could easily do this again.

Ben: Oh, well - I mean, it depends on...

Andrew: I say "easily" lately. But...

Ben: Like, I - if she writes a new series and - but I was told - I remember hearing a while ago that she probably wasn't going to release it under the same name, which to me would be a - what I think would be a big mistake...

Andrew: Oh, yeah.

Ben: ...because if - you have all these people who are huge Harry Potter fans. But then at the same time, she really doesn't need the money. She's already a billionaire. So maybe she's thinking, "All right, well I'll just...

Andrew: But she has to. She couldn't hide it from all her die-hard fans. I don't think...

Mikey: Well...

Andrew: I mean - you know, what Ben is saying - just a little disclaimer. That's not officially confirmed or anything.

Ben: Well, Stephen King has many different pen names.

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: And - a lot of - like, I remember one time I found out this book was actually Stephen King. And - I mean, maybe the die-hard fans would figure it out. Or...

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: ...we'll be able to tell by the writing style or something.

Andrew: But the other think about Stephen King is that he writes a lot of books. This is only J.K. Rowling's second book. So - or second series. Whatever this political fairy tale is going to be. So...

Mikey: But at the same time though - you've got to remember, if she releases it as J.K. Rowling, people are going to expect a certain type of book, and she may just want to release under a different name where there's not that...

Andrew: Yeah.

Mikey: ...pressure.

Andrew: Yeah, but that would be a tragedy. Can you imagine? She writes - she releases this book and nobody knows she did it? Oh, it would be terrible. And I mean, she would have to reveal it eventually. I don't know.

Mikey: Yeah.

Muggle Mail: Lord Voldemore?

Andrew: Let's move on. Micah, can you get that last e-mail?

Micah: Last e-mail comes from Rachel of "Nowhere," age: "nothing."

"First of all, I love your show. Second of all, when I was on the pronunciation guide on Scholastic, I noticed that when you click on Voldemort, it pronounces it 'Vol-de-more.' It leaves off the 't' completely. What do you think? Thanks, Rachel."

Ben: That's probably the correct pronunciation.

Micah: Yeah. I think it is.

Andrew: [imitating pronunciation guide voice] "Voldemore."

Ben: [imitating pronunciation guide voice] "Voldemore."

Micah: It's French, right?

Ben: No.

Andrew: Maybe.

Ben: Kah-noots.

Andrew: Kah-noots.

Micah: It means "flight from death."

Andrew: Ahhh.

Ben: Ooh.

Micah: Or "stealing death."

Ben's Letter to Emma

Andrew: That's sexy. Ben, to wrap up the show, like I teased at the beginning, I understand you have a letter to Emma that you would like to...

Ben: Yeah. It's short and sweet, but...

Andrew: Yeah. Have you written this to her and mailed it to her or what are you doing?

Ben: What am I doing? Well, I'm just hoping that maybe she will...

Andrew: She'll hear it.

Ben: She'll hear it somehow.

Andrew: Okay.

Ben: Yeah.

Andrew: Maybe someone at Brown will play it for her.

Ben: Maybe.

"Dear Emma, we've had an on-going fling for a while now, and my heart still aches for your presence. I've watched you develop before my eyes, and your passion just sings to me. I know you're very busy with all of your acting work and you go to school on the other side of the country, but I still think that together, baby, we could make magic."

[Andrew laughs]

Ben:

"Get at me, girl. Love, Benjamin."

Andrew: [laughs] Oh, that's very nice. That's very nice.

Ben: Yeah, I tend to fall for those actor types.

Andrew: Yeah, I understand.

Ben: Yeah.

Andrew: Especially the ones you try to pick up at after-parties. [laughs]

Ben: [laughs] I know. Yeah. I just like the way they're emotionally in control. You know?

Andrew: Right, right.

Ben: It's very, very attractive.

[Mikey laughs]

Andrew: Maybe next week Emma can write a letter to you.

Ben: Yeah, post it on her site.

Andrew: [imitating Emma Watson] "Dear Ben, Thank you for your note. I must say I have mutual feelings for you."

Ben: [imitating Emma] "I must say I am flattered."

Andrew: "You are the one millionth boy to write me this kind of letter." [laughs]

Ben: It's all right because you know, everybody knows about my near encounter with her...

Andrew: Right.

Mikey: Yes.

Ben: At the Order of the Phoenix...

Andrew: Yes.

Ben: Wow. Yeah.

Mikey: It was very near, right?

Ben: Very near. I was inches away from her on the couch...

[Mikey laughs]

Ben: ...about to slip my arm around her, and then it all came crashing down when the security guard came in.

[Micah laughs]

Andrew: What were they thinking? They could trust you. I mean, when I look at you, I see trust.

Ben: Yeah. I'm very, very innocent looking.

[Andrew laughs]

Micah: She does know about you, though.

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: This is true because Emerson asked her on the red carpet, "Do you know about Ben Schoen?" She was like, [imitating Emma] "Are you him?"

[Everybody laughs]

Andrew: I forgot all about that. Wow.

Ben: It's all right. Emma, if you're out there, I'm not going to say, "I'm coming for you," because that would sound like...

[Andrew and Mikey laugh]

Ben: That would sound a little bit weird, but look me up at Twitter.com/BenSchoen.

Andrew: Okay, well...

Ben: I got to plug that once a show, I'm sorry.

Andrew: That's fine.

[Mikey laughs]

Announcement: Podcast Alley

Andrew: We have a couple announcements before we wrap up the show today. Don't forget to vote for us on Podcast Alley. It's a new month so vote for us. It is MuggleCast Movember.

Ben: How many votes have we gotten all-time?

Ben: Oooh!

Andrew: He does this webcast, yeah.

Ben: So do you get on a webcam?

Andrew: Micah did last year.

Ben: Really? And he was like, [as Micah] "Thank you."

Andrew: Yeah, he did a...

[Andrew and Micah laugh]

Andrew: He did an acceptance.

Micah: That was exactly how it went, yeah.

Ben: [as Micah] "Thanks. That's all from our news studio in New York. Goodbye." Sorry, Micah. I can't believe I'm mocking you right in front of you.

Micah: No, it's fine.

Andrew: So here's how it's going to work. Hold on, let me get the page up so I can get the...

Micah: We're up against a podcast in Best Produced called NFL Rants and Raves.

Andrew: Mmm. And also This American Life which is a very popular NPR podcast, I believe. Or PBS.

Micah: Yeah, they're going down.

Ben: Ooh! So we're...

Andrew: Yeah, so there's some tough competition this year. So the voting begins on November 13th, and how that works is you can vote once a day.

Last year we won Best Entertainment and in 2006 we won People's Choice. And so this year we're going for big time gold again. So if we can win two awards, this will be our first year winning two awards!

Mikey: That would be rad.

Andrew: Yes, it would.

Ben: That would be more than rad.

Andrew and Mikey: That would be radical.

Ben: Rada- rada- radatastic!

[Andrew laughs]

Mikey: [laughs] Radatastic!

Andrew: So again, November 13th. And we will remind you, that's when daily voting starts.

Announcement: New Ultimate DVD Section on MuggleNet

Micah: We do, we do. I created it.

Andrew: Tell us about it.

Micah: Oh. [laughs] It's your one-stop source for everything Ultimate DVD.

Ben: So is it the Ultimate DVD section or is it...

[Micah laughs]

Ben: ...the "Ultimate DVD Section"?

Andrew: It's the Ultimate DVD Section for the Ultimate DVDs.

Ben: Oh.

Micah: It's the Ultimate Ultimate DVD Selection - section.

Ben: On the Ultimate Harry Potter Site.

Andrew: Right.

Micah: Yes.

Announcement: Roller Coaster Tycoon Competition

Andrew: You guys know what we're talking about; we discussed those on MuggleCast a few weeks ago. Also, Eric's not on this week, but he did want us to remind you that the MuggleCast - or the Wizarding World Theme Park/Roller Coaster Tycoon contest has concluded. To see the winners from the Roller Coaster Tycoon contest, just check out the show notes for this episode on MuggleCast.com and there's a link. Eric made a news post on MuggleNet a few weeks ago that you can also check out if you haven't already. So great job and thanks to everyone who contributed to that.

Micah: It'll probably be easier for people to get to.

Announcement: Infinitus 2010

Andrew: Yeah. And last but not least, Infinitus 2010 is coming up; we just wanted to remind you about it. As everybody knows, our friends at HPEF put on amazing Harry Potter conferences every year and Infinitus 2010 is the next conference. It's going to be July 15th through the 18th in Orlando...

Andrew: [laughs] That's right!

Ben: There is no travel booked via any airline.

Andrew: There should be a running...

Micah: [unintelligible]

Andrew: There should be a running thing every week where you just ask me anyway, "Are we going to be there? Are we going to be there?"

[Andrew and Ben laugh]

Ben: I asked you last week.

Andrew: You did! [laughs] Until I said again, Ben, no.

Ben: Yeah, yeah. Oh damn.

Mikey: You're going to be there, Ben, and you're going to be like "Are we going to get there?"

[Andrew and Mikey laugh]

Ben: Me and Andrew are going to drive across the country.

Andrew: Yeah.

Ben: We're actually going by...

Mikey: You should pick me up!

Andrew: Spike there.
