PotterFicWeekly

Special Edition 26 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Tonight, we discuss the experience that is Harry Potter: The Exhibition.  This podcast took us an age and a century to finally record (and about half that to release), so we don’t remember every little detail in its proper order, but we do try to walk you through in a somewhat linear fashion.  Being PFW, we also wander off on tangents such as who exactly touched which objects and the contents of various museums, reminiscence about Special Edition 4, decry the under-representation of Hufflepuff in merchandise, and in the case of at least one host, consume copious amounts of alcohol.  At least twice Scott loses track of a section, and once Kat renames an entire city!

Nonetheless, we hope that this will give you a good account of what it’s like, remind you of your own trip(s), inspire you to go for the first time, or at the very least make you laugh.  

Disclaimer: Poufwa does not endorse the abrogation of Exhibition guidelines.  Do try to resist petting things, kids. Additionally we do not endorse any violent actions against others, no matter how annoying they might be – and no matter how much they may try to elbow you out of the way. As a general reminder, Poufwa should not be listened to while lifting heavy equipment, driving tractors, or cooking/eating pancakes.

Pictures for your pleasure.

Episode 120 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

In this episode the Poufwa crew join the Weasleys as they take on Umbridge in The Worthy King and Fred And, by The Starhorse.  In the process, Fred foams at the mouth, Bill is on fire, and Charlie is appreciated from many angles.  Fair warning: Umbridge is present far too often for anyone’s peace of mind, and reaches new lows in character that are liable to cause increasingly virulent muttering.  Fortunately, judicious applications of JFF and A Very Potter Sequel not only allow us to maintain equilibrium, they also (hopefully) add entertainment value for you!  We would like to give a special thanks to Justin Finch-Fletchley for allowing us to use his song Umbridge is Dumbridge.  Repeatedly.  

Please join us in wishing Justin well as he recovers from a vocal condition that has him sitting on the sidelines at this time, not to mention assorted other injuries.  If the PFW curse has reached out to you, Justin, we heartily apologize.

Episode 119 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

Tonight the Hosts, accompanied by a duct-taped Peon, launch their coverage of the Fox Ears Universe by The Starhorse with the discussion of the first fic, Fox Ears.

The Weasley family is deep in mourning after the battle of Hogwarts, but George has better ideas than to sit around and cry about something he’d rather just fix. And Charlie believes he can do it.

The episode’s from the past…like back in the day when the hosts were Peons!

Scarlett is the kid duct-taped in the corner…

Tricia needs a towel…

We are not so fond of the nickname Char…

No foxes were harmed in the making of this podcast, but Kat was clawed…

Scarlett tries to steal the twins. Kat is not amused….

Nitpicking–It Doesn’t Matter….

Kat’s canon: it looks like this…

Fred and George ignore canon too

Short Weasley Club…

Scarlett starts an owl-order business…

Poufwa likes banter…

It’s not Poufwa unless Scott drops…

Charlie has a stick-thingy…

Accio Fred!!

Weasleys are members of the Tacklehugglepounce Squad…

Dance party with Percy Weasley!

Looking ahead at the sequel, we call Umbridge nasty names…

Apologies to Ministry of Magic, Team StarKid, Jim Dale, Butterbeer Experience, and Justin Finch-Fletchley.

All quality issues should be referred to the Poufwa Nargles. I do believe in Nargles, I do, I do.

Special Edition 25 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

In this episode, PotterFicWeekly covers A Life In A Box by Red Sioda.

Neville finds out some things have more value than one may first think.

* Etai finds the English language lacks subtlety.

* Tricia has fussy taste in engagement rings.

* Tricia has a candy bar in her bag and hilarity ensues as she goes on an 18 gram sugar high.

* Sue tries to keep up with Tricia by imitating Tigger.

* Kelly secretly wants to be a Hufflepuff… or so the Puffs claim! There will be no more forced abductions!

* Kelly discourages gang membership. Instant proof that she is unsuited to Hufflepuff!

* What to do if the neighbors throw dog poop over the fence.

* In-depth analysis of Neville and his sad childhood brings everyone down. Holidays are supposed to be a happy time!

* Fond reminisces from Etai.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, and if you happen to not celebrate either of those, Joyful Whatever!

Stay tuned after our discussion for some Slytherin singing and then an on topic discussion of the holidays by the Potterficweekly hosts; past, present and future.  We are on topic, really…until Ryan returns to hijack his old podcast. He’s been very missed!

Welcome to Potterficweekly’s Deathly Hallows film discussion!  Most of us saw the film Friday morning at midnight, with the exception of Kezza from the Future, who got to see thirty-six hours before the rest of humanity.

Weird.  

Join Poufwa in discussing the film, the theater experience, and a particular picture of Dan Radcliffe that cracks Kezza up!

We hope you’ll find our groans, joy, sorrow, SQUEES and rambles about the second-last Potter film entertaining.  Did we mention Jen-Classic kicks off the discussion with three magic words? Ginny’s. Naked. Back.

Tonight, the Peons turned Hosts launch a three episode series reviewing The Test of Time by Alchemilla, with this discussion of chapters 1 through 5.

Four years after Hogwarts, Harry clings to the hope that he can regain the love of his first and only sweetheart: Ginny, of course! But a single night spent in a Hogsmeade flat threatens to undermine his (as well as Ron’s and Hermione’s) happiness. (Follows the events in Midnight Musings.) This story was written prior to the release of “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”

In this episode, Etai didn’t do his homework, Kelly spoils Oliversgal and we find Nigel. There is wrock music embedded throughout and we love Bob and Chocolate. Etai leaves and Scott takes his place, as we eagerly anticipate finding out what’s in the letter.

Oh, and Blaise has had a sex change.

Also in this episode:

…I’ve fallen and I can’t get up

…Good banter

…Harry’s not a sheep farmer

…Chapter 2 is Tricia’s favorite

…Sue’s taking a call

…Etai stands in for Ryan

Happy Listening!

Episode 115 of PotterFicWeekly has been released! This episode features back-to-back PeonCasts that we couldn’t cram into Poufwa’s third season.

In an episode that was recorded long long ago, in a time when we were still Peons, we cover Midnight Musings…sort of.

We also wait for The Big Gun to rescue Ryan, who has become a Smurf, no wait, a Slytherin.  I told you this was recorded a long time ago.

We discuss everything from Kelly’s obsession with MAMA to Hockey to Alton Brown with an ice pick,  Yes folks we are all over the map on this one, we even find time to discuss Midnight Musings by Alchemilla, which is a prequel to Test of Time, our next fic.  Be sure to join us next time as we discuss the story that helped bring three of our hosts into the fandom.

In Hufflepuffs – Clever, Kind and Not Foolish, we’ve missed Kayla and decided to bring her back for a day; unfortunately we brought back her background noises too.  In fact Nargles have infected the entire thing, so please forgive the rough quality of this and enjoy it for the Kayla factor. Join us in what was suppose to be HufflepuffCast until a sneaky Ravenclaw weaseled her way in, as we discuss Hufflepuffs, by Snapesservant.  

In this fic…

~Snape has a heart

~Kayla has forgotten English

~Severus Snape in lederhosen

~How did they get to Muggle London

Episode 114 of PotterFicWeekly has been released!

It’s September 1st 2nd 3rd 4th and the Hogwarts Express has arrived to begin another year of PotterFicWeekly, bringing a double-header of two nights’ recording in one single episode.

While Season 4 may not have a welcoming feast, we do discuss the Hogwarts kitchens, a cucumber, a vat of liquid chocolate, boiling cauldrons, pumpkin pie, (brief) lunches in the Great Hall, and spotted dick!

All of which manage to be on topic with our coverage of cwarbeck’s Advice for the Lovelorn Masses, a six-chapter story in which Ginny finds herself a go-to girl for love life advice–when she doesn’t even have one of her own!

Don’t worry though, I’m sure you’ll be relieved to know we’ve still got plenty of your beloved off-topic tangents and classic moments, featuring Star Trek, Disney, repeated intros and talking while on mute!  Not to mention pet antics, Tricia’s thoughts about Alan Rickman, and the proper definition of the word ‘clemmed’.

Happy listening!
