I just listened to the podcast and I really liked it. But about the thing of objects you let vanish, in chapter 30 of deathly hallows, before mcgaunagol goes into the common room of Ravenclaw she gets the question were lost objects go. She answered that they go into non being wich is to say everyting. With non being I think they really do not exist anymore, but in the everything.. that could say that those atoms en molecules really turn into air. So it really could be both ways

What chapters are we supposed to read for the next podcast?

Gawp`s Law of Elemental Transfiguration :
HERMIONE clearly states in DH that the 5 exeptions are : FOOD , MONEY , LOVE , INTELLIGENCE AND LIFE

Hmmm can someone help us locate this quote?

Also, I don't think electricity is one because wizards don't even really know about electricity, so why would they want to create it?

Oh ok I see. But still, tree bark for example might have a great source of a certain mineral or whatever, but it is not typically thought of as human food.

I loved this episode!

I"m with Ali - a pig is a pig...and I will eat that pig!

First of all, and pretty random: I think Rosie's voice sounds like Bonnie Wright.
Second, about the brooms and the flying: Isn't Hemione just afraid of heights? I didn't look it up, but I think she wasn't comfortable with any flying (thestrals, dragons, hippogriffs). And I guess that when you're nervous, you send out mixed messages and the broom reacts to that. Just like when someone isn't confident riding a car. And I don't think brooms are like wands, they don't help the user in that way. I think the more expensive brooms are just really well made. With all the twigs aligned or whatever. And I think a good flyer does better on a cleansweep, than a bad flyer on a nimbus.

Regarding transfiguration, they talked about the laments and nuclear reactions but I think that transfiguration can only occur when the atom of carbon is present. For instance, Proffessor M can transfigured the desk into a pig as the wood contains the carbon atom (along with everything living and organic) but you cannot transfigured food from the air and the carbon atom isn't present in it's purest form.

When you guys talked about Peeves and the fact that he was always at Hogwarts and he had always been at Hogwarts, Inthought of how the polygamist was made. You talked about how you think it was craved with the four founders which Zi think as well. but more precisely I think it happend when Salazar left the castle as Ten Sorting Hat depicts on his song in Harry Potter an deth Order Of the Pheonix Cahpter Eleven The Sorting Hats New Song.

Oh, and Kat: I belive that the pronoucation of "Reparifarge" is "reparifar-ge", that is to say, with the 'e' pronounced and with a soft 'g' as in 'gold'. this because all of Jo's spells were based in latin, and that is how the 'g' and 'e' would be pronounced. Hope this helps!

^ Quick note to Jack1234, Peeves is a poltergeist, not a polygamist. A polygamist is someone who has multiple spouses.

I heard a theory that Zacharias Smith was a descendant of Helga Hufflepuff. We heard the Hepzibah Smith is related to her, so is it possible that Zacharias is related to Hepzibah, and therefore Helga Hufflepuff? Is that why he got Hufflepuff instead of Slytherin?

The Remembrall was forshadowing that Neville had/would forget the password to the common room.

I don't think that Petunia would let Vernon hit Harry. He may have when Petunia was not around, but Petunia would never let him. She may not have cared for him, but he is her sisters child. When Vernon tried to kick Harry out in the fifth book, she wouldn't let him after receiving the howler. Maybe she wouldn't let him hit Harry out of fear, but I think it was more that that.

Hrmione did not know the Bat-Bogey hex. she said "If either of you get us caught, I'll never rest until I've learned that Curse of the Bogies Quirrell told us about, and used it on you."

I'm not sure in which episode it was, but I think you guys were discussing the Fidelius charm, and were questioning why they chose Wormtail. One of your suggested that perhaps the secret-keeper couldn't be the owner of the property - thus Dumbledore, not Sirius, was chosen for Grimmauld Place, and Womrtail, not Lily or James, was chosen for their home in Godric's Hollow. However, I'm reading DH now, and there is a line from Bill, when they've just arrived at Shell Cottage after being at Malfoy Manor, saying that the Weasley family has been moved to Aunt Muriel's, and that they were protected via Fidelius Charm, with Arthur being the secret keeper there - which makes sense with what you guys said. But then he goes on to say that he is the secret-keeper for Shell Cottage. I'm pretty the cottage used to be someone else's in the family, but since Bill and Fleur are living there now full-time, isn't it technically their place? Which would mean that you could be secret-keeper of your own place, which I guess just makes it even more questionable as to why Lily and James would chose Wormtail (besides plot advancement!)

Thanks for that comment head girl. You're right - that reading is incredibly problematic!

The fact of it having the ability to open to its first "caprturer" I never even considered... brilliant connection.

Merrymarge: I'm not saying Snitches can't be made by women, not at all. In fact, I bet they make gorgeous ones!

What I was saying, though, is that if one considers the Snitch to be the more "feminine" part of Quidditch (as was hypothesized, briefly, on the podcast), and one takes into account all the information we learn about Snitches in DH, it all comes together to make a rather archaic and, in my opinion, problematic view of women. The Snitch is never touched by bare flesh until the game (ie, a girl remains 'pure' [by choice or by force] until marriage) when it is to be used and caught (when she can be of use to society by submitting to her husband). It's got an enchantment on it so it can always identify the first person to capture it (the woman will always be bonded to the first person to touch her) in case of a disputed capture (like if she was with someone else before her husband).

Harry's Snitch adds the extra layer of 'opening to' its first capturer, like Noah said up above, which, again, can be taken to a rather worrying conclusion about women.

Like they said in the podcast, it's a streeeeetch, but I hope this cleared some stuff up for you! :)

I wanted to share my point of view on the transfiguration of inanimate objects into animals. I feel that when something is transfigured into, lets say, a pig, life is not created. The molecules of the desk would be rearranged to that of a pig, however the pigs movements only mimic life. Much in the same way that we see inanimate objects often given life-like characteristics. Furthermore, I believe that unless the transfiguration is magically undone, or the witch/wizard who originally performed the magic dies, the desk would stay in pig form forever. This means that bacon and ham can be made and enjoyed as long as the original magic was powerful and complex enough to completely make the desk into a pig. I do, however, agree with that statement made on this weeks podcast that no nutritional value could be drawn from the desk-pig. Only a ton of fiber...

I spent the entire time I listened to your podcast really annoyed because I wish I could have called in and been like I KNOW WHERE VANISHED OBJECTS GO! "Into non-being, which is to say, everything." Pg. 591, book 7. McGonagall.
If the Ravenclaw door saw this as an acceptable answer, we too have to accept it. I think it is basically about entropy, destruction feeding back into creation like the phoenix.

You guys said that you wanted What if questions. I've got a couple.
What if Ron had been unsuccessful at the levitating charm during the Troll attack?
What if Draco hadn't acted so stuck up at Madam Malkins? Would they have become friends?
What if it was Neville instead of Harry? (I'm sure we all probably asked that one after the fifth book)
What if Sirius had been able to convince Hagrid to let him take Harry, or had taken him before Hagrid got there?

As to the discussion on whether the Dursleys beat Harry, it is either that or he has really fast reflexes. In CoS it says towards the end of the first chapter, "Harry paid dearly for his moment of fun. As neither Dudley nor the hedge was in any way hurt, Aunt Petunia knew he hadn't really done magic, but he still had to duck as she aimed a heavy blow at his head with the soapy frying pan. Then she gave him work to do with the promise he wouldn't eat again until he'd finished."

I loved the connection to science and also really hope that magic is that easy to explain.

Side note to Ali Wood, how in the world do you make those connections? ^

As for the snitch's at Hogwarts, what if they only have a few snitch's. We can assume they have at least one for practicing, were the flesh memories wouldn't matter, and they don't seem to have disputes as to who caught the snitch first at Hogwarts, so would they really need that many?

I have a 'what if' What if Harry was no good at Quidditch? There may be now immediate effect, but how would Dumbledore get Harry the Resurection Stone later on?
