If you re a fan of the Harry Potter books and J.K. Rowling, and were alive during the month of April of 2008, you probably heard about a little law suit over a book called The Harry Potter Lexicon.   The author of that book, Steve Vander Ark, is also the creator and editor of the Harry Potter Lexicon website.  We got a chance to talk with Steve about the lawsuit, the fan reactions, his new book and, of course, we talked a bit about Harry Potter (you know, the books about this boy wizard oh never mind).  It s a fascinating interview, hope you enjoy it.  We here at HPProgs believe in hearing all points of view, and hope that you will feel free to voice your opinions in the comments, while remaining respectful and rational in the process. A big thanks to Steve for taking the time to talk with us. Check out Steve s new book entitled In Search of Harry Potter. This podcast is brought to you by Audible.com.

It has been almost 6 months coming, but Judge Robert Patterson finally handed down the verdict in the JK Rowling/WB vs. Steve Vander Ark/RDR lawsuit. And the winner is ..JK Rowling. In this week s episode, we discussed the decision, the reactions of both sides, what this means for the Harry Potter fandom as well as the future of copyright law. We also officially announced the rules for our Beedle the Bard YouTube Contest. Please make sure to enter, we want to be able to give out the books to some worthy winners! Finally, take a look at the Wall Street Journal Article (page 1, baby!) that mentions our Hitler Half Blood Prince Delay video.

Der Sohn eines Schmieds entdeckt einen magischen Elbenstern. Durch ihn wird er zum Wanderer zwischen der Elben- und der Menschenwelt und lernt dabei nicht nur die Königin des Elblandes kennen ...

So, it s been a week or so since the last episode of HPProgs; while you were waiting for the next show, and even larger wait was sprung upon you: Half Blood Prince, The Movie, was delayed from 2008 to 2000-and-freakin-9. Penny s been covering developments on the HPProgs blog, and even managed to unearth one of the most ferverent reactions to the delay. In this episode, we discuss the delay, assorted other goings-on, along with a tangential discussion on the recurring occurrences of eyes in Deathly Hallows (first spotted by John Granger - sorry I can t find the exact link), and what this might (or mightn t) mean. Stay tuned for details on our Beedle the Bard contest, we will be putting out rules in the coming days. This podcast is brought to you by Audible.com.

We always get comments about how when they listen to our podcast, people feel like they re getting a glimpse into our lives. They usually follow up with a statement about how they love the rapport the two of us have. Well, for those of you who like HPProgs for the intimate way we welcome you into our lives then this is the episode for you. After we discussed the new Twilight Book, Breaking Dawn, Greg and I proceeded to have a general potpourri episode with some content and a lot of personality (pseudonym for annoyance at each other). We also discussed an exciting new contest that is in the works! NOTE: There are Breaking Dawn Spoilers on this episode so if you haven t finished the book yet, you might want to listen to the first few minutes and then skip to minute 20 or so not to hear them. As always we can t wait to hear your thoughts: on the Breaking Dawn review, the Beedle the Bard News and contest, our short fandom discussion and everything else we talked about.

Hopefully by now, you ve seen the trailer for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. We sat down immediately after watching to record out thoughts. What do you think of the trailer? Does the voice of the woman in the orphanage belong to J.K. Rowling? You can listen to the podcast with the player below, or download it directly as an mp3.

One of the over-arching meta-themes of the Harry Potter books is, without a doubt, choice. From early on the books the theme of choice is empasised, when the Sorting Hat defers to Harry s wish to be in Gryffindor, or when Dumbledore makes it clear to Harry that it is his choices, far more than abilities that make him the wizard that he is. It s clear that J.K. Rowling is a proponent of the idea that we make ourselves who we are and are ultimately responsible for who we become. Putting aside a scientific discussion of free will and determinism, a greater question, from within the stories themselves, comes to light. With the conclusion of Book 7, and the revelation of Dumbledore s less than altruistic motives, does J.K. Rowling s position on free will and choice change? Did Harry, in fact, make all those choices of his own free will, or, perhaps, was he influenced by forces beyond his control? Despite Dumbledore s protestations to the contrary, could Harry ever have avoided the final showdown with the Dark Lord, had he simply chosen to walk away? In this week s episode, we examine the nature of free will and choice as presented in the books after Book 7, and what J.K. Rowling might be saying about what it means to be free.

As you may have read, we just got back from Portus 2008, a Harry Potter convention that took place July 10-13 in Dallas, Texas.  And, guess what?  We had a blast!  From Jim Dale giving a live performance, to meeting lots of fun and interesting people, it was a great time.  We sat right down as soon as we could after we got home to record some of our thoughts on what the Harry Potter fan-world is like one year after the release of Deathly Hallows, along with details on the all the great sessions we went to, movies watched, conversations had, etc.  It really was a great time, and special thanks to the HPEF for going all out and putting together an amazing weekend.

We re back for another action-packed episode of Patterns in Potter.  This time, we take on the latest contender in the Harry Potter series, The Deathly Hallows.  We begin with an analysis of the prologue, of both The Libation Bearers by Aeschylus, and William Penn s More Fruits of Solitude .  From there, we discuss the apparent connection to Chapters 2 and 3, and how they relate to what might be the theme of the book: trust, faith or death.  We haven t quite decided yet.  Have any thoughts?  We d love to hear from you. You can leave comments or call our voicemail at 206-337-0357 in the US or 07092899490 in the UK.

Greg has big time issues with this. Thirty new international release dates for the Half Blood Prince movie.  My guess is that the movie will be released internationally before we see the teaser trailer. You can now buy the Deluxe Edition of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for $13.00!!!  Wow. Good deal. JK Rowling gets an Edinburgh Award. Greg imitates Sean Connery.

Poke your head inside a hobbit hole in Matamata, aka Hobbiton. J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings came to life on the big screen, thanks to the rich countryside of New Zealand. But this spot on the north island is the only remaining movie set. The road goes ever on in T&T's Real Travels in Middle-Earth DVD at www.ttrealtravels.com.

Wow, feels like old times. Because of the release of JK Rowling s new 800 word Harry Potter Prequel , we were able to return to the pre-DH revelry of prognosticating Harry Potter. We took a break from Patterns in Potter and dedicated the entire Episode #82 to the prequel. This prequel wasn t just a nice little vignette about James and Sirius. We reviewed, analyzed, and delved into what *might* have been going through Jo s mind when she was writing the prequel. We can t wait to hear your thoughts on the prequel so please share them with us. You can leave comments or call our voicemail at 206-337-0357 in the US or 07092899490 in the UK.

A sneak preview of the third book in The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica series by James A. Owen Author: auricdor Keywords: fantasy children's books Tolkien C.S. Lewis Dragons Harry Potter Narnia Added: June 3, 2008

This week, we begin our Patterns in Potter coverage for Book 6, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. The theme of this book is quite ambiguous; in fact, it is ambiguous. Sorry if I m not being too clear here, but you ll have to listen to the podcast to figure the rest out. In the news: In honor of the 10th anniversary of the US release of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer s Stone, Scholastic will be releasing a new edition of that book with new art. Winner of the Amazon Beedle the Bard contest was announced. Congratulations Rhiannon D. of Australia! Sadly, the actor who portrayed Marcus Belby in the HBP movie was killed last week. Our sympathies go out to the family of Rober Knox. Will the Half Blood Prince trailer come before Get Smart? Your guess is as good as our s. JK Rowling has written an 800 word portion of a Harry Potter prequel. Don t get your hopes up, she has no intention of writing the rest. We look forward to hearing from you.

This week, we finish up our Patterns in Potter discussion for Book 5, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.  This time, we focus on Harry s visions (courtesy of Lord Voldemort) and his driving urge to understand the truth of these visions, and what knowledge they can bring in aiding in the fight against evil.  It s quite an interesting discussion, and we end up talking about Gödel s Theorem, for those of you who know what that is (for those of you who don t, that s why there is Wikipedia), and discuss rationalism, existenialism and religion. Send us your thoughts, we look forward to hearing from you! You can leave comments here on the blog or send in your voicemails to 206-337-0357 in the US or 07092899490 in the UK.

Emma Watson made Maxim s Hot 100 List.  Penny came in right before her though. No Moaning Myrtle in Half Blood Prince.

In the week s episode, we continue our discussion of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the central theme of truth and knowledge, specifically how the book presents the theme in context of Hogwarts, education, careers and experiential vs. learned/taught knowledge.  It s even more exciting that I can describe.

In what will go down in history as being HPProgs finest hour *or* our worst episode yet, we bring to you Episode #77. We decided to go a slightly different route for part of this episode and after our very short news discussion we re-enacted part of the J.K. Rowling vs. Steve Vander Ark/RDR Books trial. All we can say is that those of you who called Greg s accent rubbish are going to wish you had saved your insults. On a side note, when I was editing the episode I realized that we botched the name of SVA s lawyer. It is David Hammer, not Barry. Apologies to Mr. Hammer. Speaking of accents, we played a voicemail from Potter s Number One Fan in which he picked up Greg s gauntlet and gave us a multi-character Harry Potter narration. Excellent job, in my opinion. We finished off the episode with the introduction to Patterns In Potter for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix . You ll have to trust that we are telling the truth when we say that Book 5 has a good theme. As promised the links to the court transcripts are here. Thanks to Cris for the tip: Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 It is a new month so please vote for us on Podcast Alley and as always rate and review us on iTunes and Odeo.

Last week, we introduced pride as the theme of Book 4, with a focus on both personal and communal pride, and how nationalism, racism and other -isms can flow from pride.
