PotterFicWeekly

Greetings Poufwa! Ryan here! I’m both in awe that it’s been ten years since the launch of the Poufwa community, and that my password still works! (Sue’s not big into locking doors.)

Following every season of Poufwa, we would put together a recap episode of all the best moments. The first was over six hours long, crashed my first laptop, and had to be recreated from scratch. (I cried.) The second was double the size and needed a whole team to help pull it together. For my third and final season working on the podcast, having just turned the podcast over to Sue, I decided to take my time and do it personally, as a gift to the community.

Well, that was almost eight years ago.

I’ve had stuff!

In honor of the tenth anniversary of our community, I’ve decided to share what I have so far. It’s about a third complete, but represents a lost age of PotterFicWeekly. The first season is the golden year everyone remembers. The second season was when we brought Kezza, Jen2, PS, and Mike onto the show, doubled the number of fics we covered, and really had fun. We knew the third season would be our last year together, so we made sure to enjoy the hell out of it, but the reality is more people have time to listen to the Episode 13 of a podcast than Episode 83.

This episode represents some of the best work we ever did that you haven’t had a chance to listen to yet.

More than that, given how much time has gone by, it’s a chance for us to go back in time. That we spend the bulk of an episode trying to make a long-distance phone call while referencing my giant, corded headphones is testament to that.

And I promise to finish this episode before our platinum anniversary.

Happy listening, with love.

We wanted to do a holiday podcast but things got crazy around the holidays so it didn’t happen. Then we found this nice little fic that was everything we’d been looking for, so we give you “Ron’s Muggle Christmas” by honourweasley12. This was a two take podcast as it didn’t record the first time so we did it again.  We’d also like to announce that Moony has been promoted to full time host.  Congrats Moony!!  In the story we find that Ron is joining Hermione and her parents for Christmas Eve and he’s in charge of the gifts.  This Ron is thoughtful and really wants to find the best gifts he can.  We hope that you enjoy this fic as much as we did. 

The author had some comments about the podcast which can be viewed on the forum. You can check them out here.

Here is our review on “I Know Not and I Cannot Know Yet I Live and I Love” by billowsandsmoke.  This is a long one shot that shows what might have happened when Luna was a student in Snape’s potions class.   In this episode we have a long lost guest host who has moved to warmer climes while the rest of us deal with snow and ice. We have some Fantastic Beast spoilers and Sue sings.  In the story, we find that Luna has knowledge of flowers and ingredients, Snape doesn’t quite know what to do with her and Hufflepuffs can be mean.  We also see a unique question asked of Snape.  We also see a friendship that neither expected or wanted but that neither would have given up.  Stay tuned at the end of the podcast for some words from the author.

This is our last episode on “These Cuts I Have” by Melindaleo. In this episode we get to find out if Harry survives Melinda’s love. We also get to see broom racing, baby Teddy and Doxy venom. The hosts have moments of snow, kittens and Loot Crate. We have all enjoyed reading Melinda’s story and are very glad we began Season Eight with it. Melinda, we are thankful you found your muse and began writing again.

We want to thank Lena of The Butterbeer Experience for allowing us to share her music in this podcast.

Next up is a long one shot where we watch Professor Snape try and deal with a student named Luna Lovegood.

Some Poufwa hosts, old and new, got together to talk about Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.  True to the new Poufwa system we discuss the movie from beginning to end, much like we discuss fanfic.  If you have not seen this movie yet, do not listen to this podcast it is full of SPOILERS!! We love Newt and feel that the magic of Jo is back in this movie.  Tricia has an Aha moment and has decided who should play Dumbledore.  We talk about what might happen in the next films.  We even give a nod to Ex-Host Mike in one scene.  We also want to give our heartfelt Congratulations to Aaron, AKA Kkronk, on his recent engagement. Sit back and enjoy our coverage of Fantastic Beasts, we sure enjoyed talking about it.

We continue our coverage of “These Cuts I Have” by Melindaleo. It’s “talk like a pirate day”, too bad only Scott knows this. Sue is back to work and knows her bird eggs. In the story, Arthur calls a Family Meeting, the trio has “take out” Chinese and there’s snogging. Harry and Ron go on a raid and Harry gets a new broom. Ron leaves a special gift for the Dusrley’s and we see Umbridge’s trial. Harry has a cold, but he tells everyone that he’s fine.

We are about half way through our coverage of “These Cuts I Have” by Melindaleo. We start off with some of Melinda’s thoughts on our first podcast.  Our hosts find that Sue’s cat is eating things he shouldn’t, Moony is swinging and Scott’s got a babyface. In the story we wonder why DHS wasn’t called when Harry was a child.  We also wonder if carpets can get drunk and if Draco is Harry’s next of kin. Scott shares a link of advertising that gets disability right. They are well worth watching.

Here is our second installment of “These Cuts I Have”by Melindaleo. We begin with a body and then a presumed death and go on from there. Harry wakes in the hospital and we discuss bath rooming issues. George makes a statement we have all thought, even if we would never say it out loud. Melinda shows her special kind of love for Harry in many ways in these chapters. We also discover that she’s up to her old foreshadowing tricks, did she help write Cursed Child?

We begin our eight season with one of our favorite authors, Melindaleo with her newest story “These Cuts I Have.” The hosts haven’t talked in months when we get together to record, so the first bit of this is us just chatting. Moony has a lot to say about The Cursed Child, she may have some spoilers. We try to start several times, but there are rabbit trails everywhere or should I say Moose Trails? In the story we start just after the end of the battle, Harry and crew are really tired and just want to sleep, but The Fat Lady won’t open for them. We learn that Harry’s favorite words are “I’m fine”, we’re not sure anyone believes him. Ron is taking up the “saving people” mantle, especially when it comes to his family. We hope you enjoy the first eight chapters of Melinda’s story.

And this is our last podcast of Season 7 and on “Oh God Not Again” by Sarah1281. We have Ginny in a pond, but not the Ginny you think.  We also learn that Kat’s a big deal. In the story, we follow the tasks as our hero’s work to get to the cup first.  And the winner is….you’ll have to listen or better yet, read to find out.  We have really enjoyed this story and hope you have to.  Many thanks to Sarah1281 for her comments and for this fun story.  The House of Awesome music used with permission from The Whomping Willows, thanks Whompy! This is the last one of the season, we will be picking up with Melindaleo’s  These Cuts I Have in a few weeks. We will be taking a month off to catch up on recording and editing.
