Note about Episode 50
Hi all. I just wanted to give y’all the heads up that episode #50 is going to be delayed. Rosh Hashana (the Jewish New Year) is this week and unfortunately Greg and I will not have time to edit the episode and get it up in its normal timely fashion. You can expect it on Saturday night or Sunday.
In the meantime though I have a mini-activity/contest for you all to do. Answer these 5 simple questions to show that you have been a fantastic hpprogs listener and send them to us at harrypotterprogs at yahoo dot com (regular e-mail format) and we’ll send 10 of you (we will pick the names randomly) a really cool color HPPROGS bookmark. Trust me, it is cool! Here are the questions:
- What is Greg’s favorite book of the Harry Potter series (episode #8 “Rating the Books”)?
- What date is our 1 year podcastversary (that is an anniversary in the podcast world and YES, I made it up)?
- What house does Penny want to be sorted into? (episode #44 “Prophecy Recap”)?
- What was one thing that Voldemort ignored that lead to his ultimate downfall? (episode #49 “Voldemort’s Downfall”)
- Come up with your own version of the hpprogs tag line, “If you thought Harry Potter was just for _______, think again!” (no wrong answers but points will be awarded if you make us laugh out loud!!)
We look forward to hearing from all of you and getting some of you some great bookmarks. Please get the answers in by our podcastversary (you’ll have to look that one up) so we can get the winners the prizes ASAP. Also, This Saturday, Sept. 15 is the deadline for the thank-you book entries. Make sure to get them in!!
In the meantime, if we have any fellow Rosh Hashana celebrators in our little community, we wanted to wish you all a happy and healthy New Year.
-Penny:)

Have a good new year and an easy fast next saturday! The only really good thing about this was that I got to miss school:)
Also, with a name like Shoshana, it gets a bit confusing. Everyone s saying Rosh Hashna and I think they are saying my name or something. Can’t complain though, Shoshana means Rose and Lily so I’m in the canon 3 times. Who else can say that!?!?!?

I’m not going to enter, I don’t know the answers. But,
If you thought Harry Potter was just for House-elves, think again!
If you thought Harry Potter was just for Crumple-horned Snorkacks, think again!
If you thought Harry Potter was just for Muggles, think again!
and my personal favorite,
If you thought Harry Potter was just for Christians, think again!

Not wanting to dislose me first name, I believe going with my middle name is appropriate enough. I wish you guys a sweet New Year and an easy fast come this Saturday. I sure hope I will.

OOH! I have a few.
If you thought Harry Potter was just for geeks who want to pretend that they’re magical, think again!
If you thought Harry Potter was just for people who don’t mind having the combined weight of all seven books and more in their house, think again!
And of course…
If you thought Harry Potter was just for human beings, think again!

If you thought Harry Potter was just for Marlon Brando…think again.
