Episode #80: Patterns in Potter, Book 6 – Black, White and Gray
Sunday, June 1st, 2008This 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.
