Neville Longbottom: The Other Chosen One

On the night that Sirius died, after the battle at the Ministry of Magic at the end of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore showed Harry the complete Lost Prophecy. It is then we learn that it was possible that Neville could also have been the Chosen One. Dumbledore tells us this, and then immediately insists it could only have been Harry. Why mention it then, in the first place?

Site Troubles…

So…you may have noticed that HPProgs.com has been down a bit recently; ever since I upgraded the Wordpress installation to version 2.1, we’ve been having a lot of problems, probably compounded by the fact that HPProgs runs on an old Pentium in my basement.  We’re in the process of looking for a more suitable home [...]

Laura Mallory’s Newest Venue?

This afternoon, I did a Blogdigger search for Harry Potter Podcast and this blog post came up announcing that Laura Mallory has started a myspace page.

Episode #32: How to Destroy a Horcrux

So, we know that the big task facing Harry is to find and destroy Voldemort’s Horcuxes, thereby destroying the fragments of his tattered soul and shuffling off his mortal coil. Sounds simple, right? Not quite, there’s one problem that we haven’t addressed: Just how the heck does one destroy a horcrux anyhow?!?! [...]

Where is episode 32?

Don’t worry, it will be up soon(ish).  We had some internet issues, some technical difficulties and just a few too many martinis last night (ok, that isn’t true, but I liked the way it sounded) so we are a bit late in putting up the latest episode.
We will get it up just as soon as we [...]
