It’s time to talk Draco, the guy you love to hate.  Harry’s other, other arch-nemesis (you know, besides Snape and Voldemort…) is a constant source of consternation to our beleaguered hero.  And in Book 6, Draco openly joined the ranks of the Death Eaters, filling his father’s incarcerated shoes.  He’s certainly come into his bad self.

What can we expect from Ye of Bad Faith?  Is Draco destined for doom, or is there, perhaps, a light at the end of his tunnel?  We’ve discussed Draco in the past, but today we give him the full podcast treatment.  Enjoy!

And your news:

• Harry Potter popular with Scottish kids.
• Name Book 7 contenst from The Guardian.
• Lucius Malfoy: 12th richest fictional fictional character.

We’re back after a week’s vacation (I was in Vegas, baby).  Instead of discussing the minor characters, which would have taken a tiny bit of preperation, we chose instead to rate the books in order from best to…least best.  As Penny and I rarely agree on anything, it’s not surprising we come up with different lists, tune in to hear our reasons.

Here’s the news:

• J.K. Rowling Wins Legal Battle Against Cyber Squatters
• OoTP Trailer online (not bootleged version).  Just ignore the penguins.
• Harry kisses Cho (for those of you who read the book, this will come as no surprise).
• Alfonso Cuaron talks Harry Potter - English is not his native language.

We’d also like to thank The Parselmouths for allowing us to use their song It’s Not Half Bad to add a little pizzaz to the podcast.  Check the link above for their MySpace page and the rest of their music.  Also don’t forget to check out the Harry Potter Podcast Coalition.

It is a bootleg, but it is still pretty exciting! LOVE the London stuff.

Who doesn’t love Neville Longbottom? We’ve watched veryone’s favorite herbophile grow from an awkward young kid into a…somewhat less awkward teenager. But seriously, along the way, we’ve seen Neville mature and begin to come into the magical legacy left to him by his parents. What does the future hold in store for Neville? Penny and I offer our thoughts in this weeks’ podcast.

A roundup of the news:

• Vote for Goblet of Fire, The Movie, in the BAFTAs.
• HBO On Demand will show Movie 5 trailer.
• David Thewlis (aka Remus Lupin, aka Nox Harrington) says Daniel Radcliffe thinks Harry will die.
• Jason Isaacs tells JK Rowling to put Lucius in Book 7 so he can be in the movie.
