Second Episode Transcipt:
(Opening music)
Blair (B): Hey guys, I’m Blair and this is Overflowing Pensieves.
Shrija (S): Episode two. I’m Shrija and we really didn’t know how to start this show, so you know, this is how we started it.
B: Yeah that sounds good. Shrija, do you want to do your riddle from last week?
S: Um… OK, I just wanted to say something. We were supposed to have guest speakers this week and I think I hinted at that at the end of last week’s show. But, our guest speaker decided to go to the mall instead. I’m planning to rope a really, really good, dedicated guest speaker for next week. So you’re pre-warned. Pre-pre whatever.
B: Whatever. First of all, we are not related to Jo, unfortunately so, don’t try to kill us. And READ Half Blood Prince! We will spoil the book for you, and that’s really bad-
S: Yeah-
B: -if a book gets spoiled for you.
S: Yeah, a couple days after Half Blood Prince came out, I saw this AOL away message on that said, "Dumbledore dies on page –you know whatever he dies- " And at the bottom it said "I just saved you six hours and twenty dollars. (Fake laughs) No, no, no.
B: I just read the book. Whatever... Your riddle?
S: Oh, yes, my riddle. So last weeks riddle was--we were talking about HP book cover art, and our last week’s riddle was... What is gold, silver, green, red, blue and purple? I’m going to give you a few minutes to ponder that... Ponder... Ponder... Ponder, ponder. OK, so you’ve had all--well, you’ve had more than a week to ponder that, cause we’ve been a bit irregular with our podcasts.
B: Yeah, a bit busy.
S: Yeah, so the answer is-the Harry Potter books cover art. The title Harry Potter and the Sorcerers stone in book one is gold. In book two, Chamber of secrets, it’s written in silver. In book three, Prisoner of Azkaban, it’s written in green. In book four, Goblet of Fire, it’s written in red, and so on. Half Blood Prince written in (both) purple.
B: Wanna talk about the ship we have this week?
S: So you know, we’re doing a lot of weekly segments, and this week, we’re doing a ship of the week. And to avoid controversy, and have mad random-
B: Flames-
S: Flames, and Harry/Hermione shippers banging at our door, and Ron/Hermione shippers banging at our door. Our ship this week is Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks.
B: Who would name their kid Nymphadora? I do not blame her one bit. I would get it legally changed.
S: Really?
B: Yes, I would.
S: Well, I suppose she’s old enough, I think there’s her and that name, they have something.
B: Yeah, OK.
S: So, we’re not discussing Nymph- Tonks and her name, we’re discussing Tonks and Lupin. Though, somebody out there, like someone good with a pen, should really write a ship about Tonks and her name, (laughs) that would be awesome and weird.
B: That would be totally creepy, why did you even say that?
S: It’d be interesting to read though.
B: Yeah... Ok. Remember, I stick to D/G and that’s it. The occasion regular Harry Potter ones.
S: Occasional.
B: Yes, occasional. (laughs) I don’t read, like any Marauders.
S: So, I hate you.
B: Oh shut up.
S: Some news real quick, Goblet of Fire comes out on November 18.
Both (yells): YEAH!!!
B: I might be able to skip school to go see it, my mom’s that nice.
S: Yeah, I’m skipping Gym guys. Oh yeah. And shut up.
B: And the video game Goblet of Fire comes out on the twenty-second.
S: And it’s your birthday the sixteenth.
B: I’m not sure which platforms it’s coming out on, but I know it’s going to be on X-box, gamecube, and PS2.
S: Yeah, Blair is our video game master here.
B: Cha-ching!
S: Yeah. I-I-um... I like my computer.
B: I like video games, I do, just get over it.
S: Now onto the actual you know...
B: Remus-
S: Topic.
B: Of the week.
S: We’re going to talk a little more about Remus and Tonks here. So what did you think of the whole Remus/Tonks are a pair in Half Blood Prince?
B: It’s going to happen, everyone knows that. It’s going to happen, but I’m more in the fic universe, Shrija’s the book-verse. I know what’s going to happen in the book-verse, and it would really fit in with the story, but in the fic-verse depending on the story, the plotline, who else is in it will depend on what ships go with what. I mean, in some fics, I will readily admit that Harry and Ginny go together, but in the fics I read they don’t!
S: (laughs) Which is why she reads them.
B: Exactly. Draco and Ginny go together.
S: So yeah, I thought in Half Blood Prince a lot of people said that Remus and Tonks were like a sudden ship, like oh my gosh where did this come from? You know Tonks is all mopey and you know, you know there’s death, and Tonks is feeling bad, and the boom, Remus/Tonks.
B: Seriously
S: But... I think that’s-
B: It’s a good ship.
S: It’s a good ship. I like to double read, I like to read between the lines in all the books. And of course I did that right after I finished Half Blood Prince, we overanalyze.
B: Yeah we really do.
S: I actually found various clues pointing to Remus/Tonks. In fact, I was screaming Remus/Tonks from Order of the phoenix.
(laughs)
B: Are you serious?
S: (laughs) Yes, I’m serious.
B: Notes dead guy.
S: You weirdo
B: Now to the actual-
S: Sirius. (Laughs) No, just kidding.
(More laughs)
B: To the actually topic of this week, which-
S: Which we have skirted.
B: Yes... Is Snape’s future plans. Since we know he killed Dumbledore, we know he ran off with-
S: (Big fake cough)
B: Yeah, major cough there. She took care of that for us. We obviously don’t think he’s dead. He ran off with the death eaters and we’re-
S: He ran off with Draco.
B: Oh, whoops, I don’t remember, I read it like 2 months ago, sorry. Um… So we’re trying to figure out what he’s going to do now, like is he going to go back to being evil, was he really evil, and all that kind of junk. Because, like what’s he going to do now. Everyone hates him.
S: Yeah.
B: On the good side at least. On the bad side...
S: Well, I think... Siri-I think Snape has become a really big character.
B: Yeah, he really has.
S: Like in the beginning, he was like "I am Snape" the evil teacher.
B: He’s our new celebrity.
S: Yes. (Laughs) That was so corny. That’s funny. Ok.
(Laughs)
S: So, in the beginning, Snape was just there like this really annoying pain in Harry’s backside.
B: Seriously pissed me off.
S: Anyways, so now he’s become like this major evil bad person. And you know how Harry said in the end of book six how he hated Snape personally even more than Voldemort, cause you know he’s known Snape and you know.
B: Well, he went off with Harry’s enemy, besides Voldemort. Like his enemy’s Draco, which is like totally going to change.
S: Yeah, so I think Snape has grown into this huge character. And I think that what will happen in the books is all on account of Snape.
B: Yeah, like whether Snape decides to come back to the good side or weather Snape decides to stick with Voldemort. And I think Snape will be back on the good side.
S: I hope so.
B: I’ll kick his butt man. But seriously, who’d forgive him. If he came back and he was like-
S: Yeah, even if he did come back.
B: Even if he did come back, he’s like, "I made this promise, blah blah blah, if I didn’t kill him, I would die." I’d be like, "Dude, Dumbledore’s more important and you know it! I would die!
S: (hesitant) Well, yeah.
B: I would die for Dumbledore. Dumbly-door.
S: Well yeah. I - I mean.. Well, one of the things about Snape is the fact that he’s a spy.
B: It irks me.S: One of the things about him being a spy is that, he sees both the Order of the Phoenix, and he’s into the Death Eaters. Like as far as value goes, in over all winning, for the good side to win the war, as far as value between Snape and Dumbledore goes, I think I would pick Snape over Dumbledore, cause Snape is really the one who would really get information, and he would be like a balance between the two, whereas Dumbledore was like this old person in the background.
B: Yeah... I didn’t think about that. Snape is more valuable. Dumbledore’s just a better wizard.
S: Well, yeah he’s a better wizard, but I think Dumbledore’s is you know how Voldemort... A lot of people say, he’s losing his touch, he must have lost his touch-
B: A long time ago.
S: Yeah, it’s-
B: I mean, it can’t be too long ago, he did save Harry quite a few times.
S: Yeah, yeah yeah, actually, I thought it was pretty cool that he was the Half Blood Prince. In fact, Alan Rickman, the person who plays Snape, knew that Snape was the Half Blood Prince because JK Rowling told him. I thought that was pretty cool.
B: That’s so not fair.
S: I would’ve blackmailed him… * I can see the evil little smile * (Dana’s little note here J)
B: What’s his name again?
S: Alan Rickman.
B: Alan Rickman.S: Yeah, I would've blackmailed him to find out.
B: I need to remember that.
S: How did you not know that Alan Rickman plays Snape?B: If it had been a multiple choice question I would’ve picked him OK? But I couldn’t pull it off the top of my head. I’ve memorized so many other things. Like-
S: Like, I know the fourteen quidditch world cup players in the order that Ludo Bagman announces them at the Quidditch world cup.
B: That’s not even valuable. I memorize valuable stuff.
S: Like…
(laughs)
B: What was the…
S: Valuable Harry Potter stuff.
B: Yeah, like just random trivia stuff.
S: Very Random trivia stuff…
B: Very random… So we need like… What do you think Snape is going to do now?
S: What do I think Snape is going to do now? I think Snape is going to stay over with Voldemort for a little while until Harry realizes where he stands, as far as what do I have to do in the future to get where I’m going. And I think once Harry figures this out, then Snape will come back to the good side with apologies. And I don’t think Harry-
B: Do you actually think that Snape would apologize?S: Well, I don’t think he’ll be like ‘Sorry!”
B: He’ll just come back.
S: He’ll just come back. I think Harry will still hate Snape. Cause you know-
B: -Seriously-
S: As Lupin said in the fifth book, with James as his father, and Sirius as his godfather, Harry can’t-
B: -And Remus as his professor and really good friend-
S: And now, sort of godfather as well.
B: Yeah, probably.
S: And he can’t not hate Snape. No if his Godfather was Lucius Malfoy, then of course... But his godfather isn’t Lucius Malfoy, and it never would’ve been Lucius Malfoy.
B: I’d like to kill Lucius, I really would.
(laughs)
S: Anyway-
B: moving on. I think... Kind of like what Shrija said, he’ll probably come back, eventually, like once he settles down. You obviously know that the death eaters will come back-
S: Yeah
B: I need to get my thoughts in line. The death eaters are going to like come together and you know they’re going to celebrate, you know they are, cause Dumbledore was Harry’s protector and-
S: Oh look, Harry doesn’t have a protector anymore-
B: At least he’s got-
S: Harry’s fending for himself.
B: Yeah, except Ron and Harry, I mean Hermione (laughs) Whoops. Ron and Hermione. But anyway, so they’ll celebrate and once that calms down again, and Voldemort starts planning, he’ll probably say I need to go back to school and keep teaching. Or-
S: Who?
B: What?
S: Who’s going to say that?
B: Snape’s going to say that. Oh, I need to get back so I can keep feeding you information,
S: Yeah.
B: When it’s really going to go the other way round. Of course, now we really don’t know what side he’s on.
S: Yeah.
B: I mean he killed Dumbledore, but I mean what’s he really done for the good side or light side.
S: He must’ve known something, cause you know he’s one of the- as Sirius says in Order of the Phoenix – he’s one of the key member of the Order, you know, he’s the spy, he’s out there risking his neck while Sirius is laying on his backside.
B: Not that he wants to, don’t you go dissing Sirius, we’re going to have to talk about that.
S: Yeah, but he’s one of the key members of the order, and I sure that the order would’nt’ve gotten half as far with what they’re doing without Snape, but then again he did kill Dumbledore.
B: Why do I feel like I’m missing a major point.
S: I don’t know. I’m sure JK Rowling has hidden something in there about what Snape’s going to do.
B: Maybe you guys can remember, cause I feel like there’s a major point that I can’t remember.
S: Same here. We’re skirting the topic, but we just can’t get to the crux of it. You guys- Oh- Speaking of feedback.... Yeah.
B: Feedback. Wa-hoo. We want it, please.
S: You notice the silence. (Silence) There’s silence. There is no feedback guys. What happened to the pretty feedback? (Silence) Silence. Ok, so we don’t like silence, and I’m sure you don’t like silence either-
B: -Cause it just fills up space on your I-pod.
S: Yeah, which is bad.
B: -Or whatever you’re listening to this on.
S: Hard-
B: Hard drives whatever.
S: CD, whatever.
B: So we’d really appreciate the feedback.
S: It doesn’t even have to be that long.
B: Yeah, just say-
S: You’re doing a good job talk about Remus,
B: Oh yeah. Or just say, "Look, I’ve downloaded it, Wa-hoo"
S: I mean, like we’ve checked our stats and we know there’s somebody out there who’s downloaded us, and there’s people that’ve subscribed to this to.
B: And you people rock, who’ve subscribed to us.
S: We don’t know who you are, but we love you.
B: Yeah, we love you.
S: We could find out who you are, and say "You have subscribed to us, we love you," but you’re but you’re not sending us feedback.
B: And we need topics. We had to come up with this one all on our own, and we don’t know what you want us to talk about.
S: Yeah, I mean if you want us to talk about the hairstyles of the Harry Potter Characters, tell us.
B: We will seriously.
S: I will gladly go on for hours about Draco Malfoy’s hair. Gladly.
B: Ok I know his hair sucked in Prisoner of Azkaban, but it doesn’t matter, that’s not what his real hair looks like. Tom Felton’s hair is not that long.
S: Oh, yeah. And on our blog we have pictures of this little podcast. We have pictures of ourselves goofing off making this podcast. We have a picture of Blair’s- that nearly matches Blair’s obsession with Tom Felton.
B: it’s kind of creepy, but before I was really like obsessed with Tom Felton, I saw this balloon at the Grocery store So I was like, "Ok, that’s a really cool balloon, I want it." And I was going to pop it, and flatten it out and put it on my wall. Ok well...
S: So getting to the crux of things, it happened to be the same exact balloon that Tom Felton had.
B: He got the same one for his birthday, and there’s a picture of it on his blog.
S: Yeah, and she was going to throw it away, but then she decided to keep it, just because Tom Felton had it.
B: yeah. That’s about it. Kind of weird, not that I know when he was born and where he lives and that’s kind of creepy. (laughs) I’m not obsessive I know more about Johnny Depp.
S: Ok, so-
B: But of course-
S: Hush, Hush.
B: He’s more famous
S: Hush. So yeah- Getting back to where we were - feedback.
B: Yeah, feedback.
S: Without feedback, there’s going to be silence.
B: And we really do want to talk.
S: We really like talking
B: We like talking a little too much.
S: We like talking about Harry Potter.
B: We could figure out some way, like if you wanted to be on the show, we could figure out a way to talk to you over the phone, and record it. And then put it in.
S: Yeah, we should have a contest later. Say how madly you are obsessed with Harry Potter, and the person who wins could win a walk in guest roll in our show.
B: Yeah, that’d be cool.
S: Ok guys.
B: That’s about all we have to talk about, right?
S: Yeah.
B: Oh do you want to do another riddle for next week?
S: Ok so this week I have two riddles. Blair just inspired me for another one.
B: (unenthusiastically) Oh yeah.
S: Our first original riddle is- this is more of a riddle. Our first riddle, or more like a challenge actually is, Alastor Mad-Eye Moody. The name Alastor, Mad-Eye Moody has a lot of interesting anagrams to it. And you know we’d like you to come up with your own anagrams, and send them into us and we can ponder what they mean. Cause you know, JK Rowling has relied heavily on Anagrams with the whole Tom Marvolo Riddle, I am Lord Voldemort thing.
B: Yeah... I guess that is actually pretty important… I am smart. I promise you guys I am smart.
S: She’s supposed to be smart.
B: Shut up Ok.
S: Well, so. That was or first riddle, anagrams of Alastor Mad-Eye Moody, or Mad-Eye mMody, or Alastor Moody or you know, whatever.
B: Whatever, it doesn’t matter.
S: And our second riddle contest challenge whatever you want to call it-
B: Mission.
S: Which Blair gave me the idea for was that you send in a jingle or like a little song or poem like declaring your love for Harry potter "Oh I like Harry Potter pick me to be." And the winner will receive a walk in role on our thing. [podcast]
B: Or we can just have a conversation with you and record it and post it.
S: Yeah
B: Or-
S: Or it doesn’t even have to be a jingle. You can draw something, it can write a huge, expository essay-
B: Do something. Like writing creative.
S: You can like record it with your guitar and dance to it. You can dance to it, I don’t care.
B: That’s funny.
S: You can dance and tell us why you like Harry Potter.
B: Well I think that’s about all we have for this week.
S: Sadly.
B: Yeah.
S: Make it longer, you know what would make it longer? FEEDBACK. Feedback makes our show longer.
B: Long shows are cool.
S: Be-because they’re cool like that.
B: Yeah, that’s about all we have.
S: Oh –oh.
B: What?
S: We don’t know anyone that has connections with the Harry Potter world, and we can only do so much As far as advertising goes. So what we’re planning to do is between six and seven Eastern Time that’s for all the kids in New York and Florida, and all those states and cities in between there you know. Between six and seven this Wednesday, the November 2nd, we are going to go online and swamp Harry Potter websites. We’re going to write comments and blogs.
B: Saying :Oh come Listen”
S: "Go listen to overflowing pensieves, cause they’re so cool.." And you’re going to put or website in there which is www.overflowingpensieves.blogspot.com And just for you slow learners, or for those of you who this is your first podcast you’re listening to, our e-mail address is o-v-e-r-f-l-o-w-I-n—underscore-p-e-n-s-I-e-v-s@hotmail.com.
B: e-s
S: Ahh.
B: overflowing_pensieves@hotmail.com
S: I can never spell that.
B: I’m sorry.
S:That’s overflowing_pensieves@hotmail.comB: Yeah.
S: And if that’s to long for you... Oh sorry, just deal with it.
(laughs)
S: If you want to talk to us that badly then yeah.
B: You can do our AIM name, it’s a lot shorter.
S: Yeah, our AIM name is a lot shorter.
B: AOL Instant Messanger.
S: Yes, AOL Instant Messanger.
B: It’s theopteam
S: All one word.
B: Yeah.
S: Or you can have spaces.
B: It doesn’t matter. It’ll change.
S: With AOL it doesn’t matter. theopteam.
B: Yeah, cause overflowingpensieves was too long and AIM just doesn’t like us. So yeah.
S: But our password is exactly *blank* characters long.
S: Oh, are you serious? That’s funny.
B: Yeah.
S: Doesn’t matter though.
B: True. OK well, I think we’re finally going to stop babbling about stuff that doesn’t really relate to the podcast.
S: Oh guess what we’re going to do. OK, next week, we’re going to talk all about Goblet of Fire. We’re going to hash. Has the book, hash the movies and then…
B: Yeah, we have to talk about Goblet of Fire. The movie’s going to rock.
Both: It’s rated PG 13.
B: And that means more action, and action is good.
S: Yes.
B: I feel sorry for the people who are under thirteen, and have strict parents. I feel sorry for them.
S: So next show we’re going to talk all about Goblet of Fire and then we’re going to go see GoF on opening day.
B: And we’ll take pictures! Don’t worry, we’ll take pictures.
S: And we should interview people there.
B: Yeah, we’ll come back and-
S: We’ll come back brimming with knowledge.
B: And review it.
S: And review it. We’ll try not to give anything away.
B: We can edit it and make fun of the people who messed up, like that gravestone that finally got changed.
S: Yeah. We can make fun of them *gasp* I love doing that. Anyway it’ll be fun. I’m Shrija.
B: I’m Blair.
Both: OPOUT!
