I really liked the look of some of the sets. Especially the burrow. Can't wait to see what this attack on the burrow will look like, so I was hoping to get some clues from the set, but I didn't see anything. it was interesting, wasn’t it?

Voldemort, for instance abused his power so much that he thought he was more powerful than he actually was, and ended up dead.

It's funny and although a lot of other podcasts are about Harry Potter, yours is by far the best. It's been cheering me up, I have flu. I can't stop listening which probably means, JOB WELL DONE!!!

If you know the truth, you have knowledge, and if you have knowledge, you have power. So in a way, truth leads to knowledge, and knowledge can lead to power. What do you think?

I'm pretty sure that it can be proved, I'll just have to go back and check. At the end of PoA, Fudge is questioning Harry's reliability as a witness, and that plays in to GoF, when everyone is questioning whether Harry should be in the tournament. Maybe that should be an episode of Patterns in Potter? Jackie: That’s a really good idea. I’m pretty sure that it can be proved, I’ll just have to go back and check.
