Subject: SpellCast Vidcast from OotP Premiere
Message-ID: <5913e6f80707040529g4e57ea50g265ceda4d0677acb@...>

Yesterday, SpellCast (the FictionAlley.org podcast) covered the
premiere of Order of the Phoenix in London - you can see our coverage
at http://fictionalley.blogspot.com/ and our vidcast is now up at
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4599945301956731876&hl=en .


SpellCast producer Sidney talked to Dan (who has some adorable things
to say about Bonnie), Emma, Rupert, Devon, Imelda, Alfie, the Phelps
brothers, David Heyman, Michael Goldenberg and more - and even caught
a few words with JK Rowling. Lots of the interviewees - but not JKR -
spoke about their predictions for Deathly Hallows. Sid also spoke to a
bunch of fans, and found some Death Eaters lurking around.

We'll be at the LA premiere of OotP this weekend, and will have more
reports from London later today at:

http://www.spell-cast.com

We're also looking for transcribers to help over the next month - if
you're interested, let us know at spellcast @ fictionalley.org
(without the spaces).

Enjoy the videos!

Message-ID: <1183621537.8FC06F4@...>

Hi all.

Bad timing, isn't it?

Our main hard drive - the one that hosts all the fics and the "static" 
informational pages - has become physically damaged at our ISP's hosting 
location.

We're in the process of doing a major data recovery, but it might take a 
day or three more.

We'd planned to close submissions next week in the lead-up to the 
release of Deathly Hallows, but it looks like we need to do that now - 
we'll try to reopen for a few days pre-release but since it's all 
hardware-dependent, we can't guarantee when or for how long.

The forums are still working, and if you know exact urls of stories, you 
should be able to read them via <a 
href="http://www.archive.org">Archive.org</a> - you can even find urls 
(if you know the author or title) via our Chapter Owls <a 
href="http://www.yahoogroups.com/group/chapterowls">Yahoogroup (or the 
link from there to the current Google Group)</a>.

Email us at help at ... if you have any questions.

Message-ID: <f7nl00+9uth@...>

Looking for a fun way to fill in some spare time? Fancy a bit of
roleplaying in your favourite Potterverse? Got a bit of a soft spot
for Australia?


Welcome to Tallygarunga Academy of Magic.

The most carefully laid plans always go awry. Or at least, that seems
to be a constant theme around Tallygarunga, where it seems that every
good event is just a precursor to something more sinister. There's a
new bad guy in town, and he's making waves. He's already got the
History professor by the hairys, or so he thinks - is anyone going to
stop him before he takes over the town of Narragyambie completely?

But outside of that, everyone has problems of their own. Seems the
Headmaster can't go a day without being pestered by his staff, who
always seem to have a knack of finding trouble wherever it is, mixing
vampires in with the students has turned out some rather interesting
results, not to mention the werewolves Alan thought would so
harmlessly fit into the school.

Set in Australia, Tallygarunga is the Australian alternative to
Hogwarts - and all our plot lines are devised and created by the
players. We have original classes such as musiciary and creative
visual magic - as well as your old favourites from the HP books. It's
crazy, it's quirky - and it's currently accepting students, professors
and residents of all ages - with plans to fill in some prefect and
head of house positions by the end of the term.

So join the magic today... and say g'day to Tallygarunga Academy of Magic!

Cheers!

Message-ID: <5913e6f80707190708w5b1ab17fm422192fded3f09cd@...>

Hi! As many of you know, HPfGU will be closing the main list to give
everyone a chance to read the book without being spoiled, but it's
possible that some of you might want to discuss the book before the
list opens. There's a lot of places on the internet where you can -
you can post a review on Amazon, or go to a newspaper's comments
section or talk amongst your friends - but there aren't many places
where you can discuss each chapter as you finish it, without much
concern about being spoiled for forthcoming chapters.


I don't think you can see it yet, but FA's Chapter by Chapter forum
will be at http://forums.fictionalley.org/park/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=248
- BEWARE of chapter titles in that forum!
On LiveJournal, there's
http://community.livejournal.com/discuss_book7/ which also has
chapter-by-chapter formatting, and there's also
http://community.livejournal.com/hallows_reviews where you can post
reviews of the entire book.

These forums will all open tomorrow (Friday) for discussion of the
last Harry Potter book.

Enjoy!

Message-ID: <f8crbg+mts0@...>


Hey everyone!

SpellCast <http://spellcast.libsyn.com/>  , FictionAlley's official
podcast has recently released a new episode all related to the Order of
the Phoenix Movie, which even features the movie's music composer,
Nicholas Hooper!

SpellCast Special: OotP Movie:

After some technical issues and most of our staff members running for
the hills to get away from Deathly Hallows' spoilers or hibernating over
the weekend to read the book, we finally release our special OotP
episode!

However, this new episode is totally worth the wait and here's why:

- Greg Foster, president of IMAX <http://www.imax.com/> , sits down with
Gwendolyn Grace to talk about about the 3D conversion process of the
last twenty minutes of the Order of the Phoenix movie.

- Josh finally gets his opportunity to chat with Nicholas Hooper
<http://www.coolmusicltd.com/Composers/Nicholas-Hooper/Nicholas-Hooper.h\
tml>   about the music score of Order of the Phoenix!!

- Sidney talks with Duff Goldman, host of Ace of Cakes
<http://charmcitycakes.com/>   on the Food Network, about the Hogwarts
castle cake he made for the Order of the Phoenix premiere after party.

- Finally to wrap everything up, a group of SpellCasters sit down to
discuss their thoughts and feelings on the Order of the Phoenix movie.

Also, we want to thank Hank from http://www.brotherhood2.com/
<http://www.brotherhood2.com/>   for allowing us to use his song, "Accio
Deathly Hallows". Be sure to check out his and his brother's highly
amusing blog, it's totally made of awesome.

This podcast is spoiler free, so there's no need to worry if you haven't
finished reading Deathly Hallows. For those of you have finished, be
sure to check back soon for another special podcast covering Deathly
Hallows.

As always, please be sure to let us know what you think and be sure to
check out our new Livejournal
<http://community.livejournal.com/spellcast_lj>  community for updates.

Enjoy the show!
