Chance Vanessa: HI, Everyone, This Is Vanessa. Julia: and This Is Julia Argy HARRY POTTER AND THE SACRED TEXT 4.29- THE DREAM: Chance Vanessa: HI, everyone, this is Vanessa. Julia: And this is Julia Argy, Vanessa: And we are coming to you from London, England, where we are leaving for our first ever Not Sorry Productions pilgrimage tomorrow morning, where we will be reading and walking with Virginia Wolfe’s “To the Lighthouse” and treating it as a sacred text. Julia: We are also launching our second pilgrimage to Concord, Massachusetts for October 11014, where we will be treating writing as a sacred practice. And we’re going to be reading Vanessa: “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott. And we really hope that some of you join us. We’re going to be asking ourselves the question, “What role do we want writing to play in our lives?: and talking about the book “Little Women” and seeing what answers it can give us. Julia: You can find out more about that pilgramage Vanessa: at readingandwalkingwith.com or at harrypottersacredtext.com and click on the big orange button Julia: And we hope that you enjoy this episode of Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. Vanessa: Say ‘bye. Julia: Goodbye. Vanessa: No, say it like, “Byyyyye!” Julia: Oh, byyyye! Vanessa: Chapter 29, The Dream. “It comes down to this, “said Hermione, rubbing her forehead. “either Mr. Crouch attacked Victor, or somebody else attacked both of them while Victor wasn’t looking.” “It must have been crouch,” said Ron at once. (Quote continues; fades into intro music.) Vanessa: I’m Vanessa Zoltan. Casper: And I’m Casper Ter Kile. Vanessa: And this is Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. Vanessa: This week, we have the honor of being joined by Melissa Anelli. She’s the host of Pottercast. She’s the inventor of Leaky Con, which Ariana and I are so excited to be going to this summer. She’s the author of “Harry: A History”. And probably most importantly, she was the correct answer to a Jeopardy question. Casper: Laughs. Vanessa: Melissa, you would say that’s the thing you’re taking to your grave, right? Melissa: I’m still holding out for the answer for the jeopardy question. I’ve been mentioned on Jeopardy, which is almost as good. Casper: Basically the same. Melissa: Basically the same. But yeah. Let me tell you literally nothing I have done in my life has made me seem famous to my family until I was mentioned on Jeopardy. Then, that’s it. There is no higher goal as far as they are concerned. Now I’m the coolest I will ever be. Vanessa: Stop trying. (Vanessa and Casper laugh) Vanessa: Melissa, thank you very much for joining us today. And we’re so excited to talk to you and your thoughts about Harry Potter, but first we’d love it if you could tell us a story on the theme of chance. Melissa: Sure. Mostly when I think of chance, I’m thinking of taking a chance. Of not so much chance occurring to me, but me or my staff or the group of people that I’ve locked into, locked into working with on the conventions and on everything that we do taking chances. So one of the biggest chances that I took that paid off in a big way was when the fifth Harry Potter book had just come out. It was 2003, and Liza M’Zimba who was the CBC announcer, he did most of the reporting of the CBC around Harry Potter. He was to the CBC around Harry Potter-- He was to the legit BBC-world what the Leaky Cauldron was to the fan world. And we were intouch a lot because I would confirm a story, or he would a story, or we would confer on whether we thought the latest crazy rumor was true or not. And they were doing a big book release at Royal Albert Hall to celebrate Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix coming out. And he said to me, “You should come”. And I was in my first job out of college. It was a terrible job. It was a hell job. It was the job that taught me how to not be boss. And he said to me, “You should come. You’ll meet J.K. Rowling.” And I started, you know, literally just laughing at him, “That’s … sure.” You know, nobody went out on assignment to cover Harry Potter story at that time. I paid for it out of my very, very meager salary. And then I was able to ask Scholastic, “Can I come and be press?” and they said, “Yeah, yeah sure. Just let us know when you’re there.” However, when I got there, they instead of putting me in the press penwhich is like a teeming hoard, they brought me over to the place where they had to put all the contest winners. So there I am standing with ten to twenty American kids with their giant blue Order of the Phoenix books. They were all waiting to meet J.K. Rowling and I’m thinking to myself. “OK, OK well maybe if I’m going to meet J.K. Rowling, I should just start getting ready for that.” Thinking that she would just sign my book and that would be that. But when she came up and it was very clear that she was going down the line meeting people. She came up to me and I said to myself, “Well, if I’m going to meet J.K. Rowling and embarrass myself in front of J.K. Rowling, let’s do this all the way.” And I put my hand over my book. And I looked up at her and I said, “Ms. Rowling, my name is Melissa, and I work on a site called The Leaky Caul—” and she said, “Wait, The Leaky Cauldron? I love The Leaky Cauldron!” And she lurched herself over the barrier to give me this huge hug as I was standing there very, very smugly waiting with a camera. It was a very cute moment. But the thing that that taught me about chance in that moment. Not that it was a cool moment, and I got to meet J.K. Rowling, and she knew what the site was, that’s all great. But that kind of validation for all the chances we were taking: doing the fan journalism we were doing, taking steps to be a community for fans which didn’t so much exist then the way it does now. All those things we knew were being supported now by the author. So when I took that chance to go to England, completely not believing it would end that way, it ended up fueling a lot of what Leaky, and Leaky Con, and Leaky Cauldron have done over the years. Casper: I love what you’re saying, because I see what you did in this exact moment of meeting Jo Rowling, to be what you’ve allowed and encouraged fans of the Harry Potter universe to do in being in conversation with one another. There’s an unabashed joy and enthusiasm and a willing to look a little silly now and then. And I think that’s what I love about fandom. There’s no cynicism, there’s no holding back about the fullness with which we want to engage in these conversations. There’s a willingness to dive in all the way. And I think that ws what your story has shown us, and that’s what your work has given us. So I want to thank you for that. Melissa: That makes me feel so incredible. In the middle of all this: In the middle of I’m just out of college and I just love this thing so much and I can’t stop. And now that it’s been nearly 20 years … it’s been 17 years or so since I started on this fandom. I’ve been reflecting on this a bit and what this has all been. And I actually just gave a TED talk on the value of not playing it cool, aAnd the importance of letting those little parts of yourself flare up where you can’t stop yourself from being a little silly, of being a little geeky. It’s not always appropriate, but if you never let those moments happen, if you never see what they’re saying about you, I think you can lose a lot of important and exciting things that you can find. Like I found myself in Harry Potter. I found what I wanted to do with my life. It’s really … Vanessa: What I love about the Harry Potter fandom is that it is like this encouraging place of so much nodding. There’s just an earnestness and supportiveness. I mean like I think that we are very much the beneficiaries of in that like we have the most generous listeners in the world. I mean we’ll say something, like, not great, and they’ll be like, “I’m sure you had great intentions but—” And like teaching us with such a warm heart. There’s just such a generosity of spirit. Melissa: Isn’t it great? I’ve learned so unbelievably much through, I mean, everything over these years but especially Leaky Con. Leaky Con started in 2009 and has grown exponentially. And this audience is now self-feeding, right? I mean, whatever I was doing at that time was feeding off of the energy that the Harry Potter fandom brought, which was an unabashed need to be good, be good in the world, be nice to other people, and plead for tolerance and civility and equality.

    Harry’s True Mentor and His Moral Struggle in J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter Series Mrs. K. Nagamani, M.A., Ph.D. Research Scholar (English) ==================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:8 August 2013 ==================================================================== Courtesy: http://www.harleysvillebooks.com/celebrate-all-things-harry-potter Silent Language Spoken words always carry significant meaning, but sometimes unspoken silence becomes more meaningful and powerful. Implicit suggestions hold nuances of meaning in literature. Flat, static characters are always explicit and there is no mystery in them to be fathomed. Complex characters, on the other hand, are unpredictable and thereby become more interesting and challenging. Severus Snape, in Harry Potter series definitely falls under the latter category. He, in the author’s own words, is “a gift of a character” (http://web.archive.org/web/20110726135809/http://www.half-bloodprince.org/snape_jkr.php).

He is clever and cunning; intelligent and has a keen analytical mind. The progress of the series shows him as a more layered character evolving from a malicious and prejudiced teacher to one of considerable complexity and moral ambiguity. The immediate impression on beholding him is of fear and scorn. With the combination of his robes, his attitude, behavior and his classroom décor, he employs pedagogy of fear and intimidation.

  • Co-Creating Harry Potter: Children’S Fan-Play, Folklore and Participatory Culture
    CO-CREATING HARRY POTTER: CHILDREN’S FAN-PLAY, FOLKLORE AND PARTICIPATORY CULTURE by © Contessa Small A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Folklore Memorial University of Newfoundland April 2015 St. John’s Newfoundland Abstract A number of scholars have argued that children’s traditional artifacts and play are being replaced by media culture objects and manipulated by corporations. However, while companies target and exploit children, it is problematic to see all contemporary youth or “kid” culture as simply a product of corporate interests. This thesis therefore explores children’s multivocal fan-play traditions, which are not only based on corporation interests, but also shaped by parents, educators and children themselves. The Harry Potter phenomenon, as a contested site where youth struggle for visibility and power, serves as the case study for this thesis. Through the examination of an intensely commercialized form of children’s popular culture, this thesis explores the intricate web of commercial, hegemonic, folk, popular and vernacular cultural expressions found in children’s culture. This thesis fits with the concerns of participatory literacy which describes the multiple ways readers take ownership of reading and writing to construct meaning within their own lives. Due to the intense corporate and adult interests in Pottermania, children have continually been treated in the scholarly literature as passive receptors

  • Many Faces of Albus Dumbledore in the Setting of Fan Writing
    MANY FACES OF ALBUS DUMBLEDORE IN THE SETTING OF FAN WRITING: THE TRANSFORMATION OF READERS INTO “READER-WRITERS” AND THE IMPLICATIONS OF THEIR PRESENCE IN THE AGE OF ONLINE FANDOM by Midori Fujita A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Children’s Literature) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Midori Fujita, 2014 ii Abstract This thesis examines the dynamic and changing nature of reader response in the time of online fandom by examining fan reception of, and response to, the character Dumbledore in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Using the framework of reader reception theory established by Wolfgang Iser, in particular Iser’s conception of textual indeterminacies, to construct my critical framework, this work examines Professor Albus Dumbledore as a case study in order to illuminate and explore how both the text and readers may contribute to the identity formation of a single character. The research examines twenty-one selected Internet-based works of fan writing. These writings are both analytical and imaginative, and compose a selection that illuminates what aspect of Dumbledore’s characters inspired readers’ critical reflection and inspired their creative re-construction of the original story. This thesis further examines what the flourishing presence of Harry Potter fan community tells us about the role technological progress has played and is playing in reshaping the dynamics of reader response. Additionally, this research explores the blurring boundaries between authors and readers in light of the blooming culture of fan fiction writing.

  • “Decreasing World Suck”
    Dz dzǣ Fan Communities, Mechanisms of Translation, and Participatory Politics Neta Kligler-Vilenchik A Case Study Report Working Paper Media, Activism and Participatory Politics Project AnnenBerg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California June 24, 2013 Executive Summary This report describes the mechani sms of translation through which participatory culture communities extend PHPEHUV¶cultural connections toward civic and political outcomes. The report asks: What mechanisms do groups use to translate cultural interests into political outcomes? What are challenges and obstacles to this translation? May some mechanisms be more conducive towards some participatory political outcomes than others? The report addresses these questions through a comparison between two groups: the Harry Potter Alliance and the Nerdfighters. The Harry Potter Alliance is a civic organization with a strong online component which runs campaigns around human rights issues, often in partnership with other advocacy and nonprofit groups; its membership skews college age and above. Nerdfighters are an informal community formed around a YouTube vlog channel; many of the pDUWLFLSDQWVDUHKLJKVFKRRODJHXQLWHGE\DFRPPRQJRDORI³GHFUHDVLQJZRUOGVXFN.´ These two groups have substantial overlapping membership, yet they differ in their strengths and challenges in terms of forging participatory politics around shared cultural interests. The report discusses three mechanisms that enable such translation: 1. Tapping content worlds and communities ± Scaffolding the connections that group members have through their shared passions for popular culture texts and their relationships with each other toward the development of civic identities and political agendas. 2. Creative production ± Encouraging production and circulation of content, especially for political expression. 3. Informal discussion ± Creating and supporting spaces and opportunities for conversations about current events and political issues.

  • HARRY POTTER in TURKEY the SOCIOCULTURAL FRAMEWORK of TRANSLATION in a GLOBAL CONTEXT Thesis Submitted to the Institute For
    HARRY POTTER IN TURKEY THE SOCIOCULTURAL FRAMEWORK OF TRANSLATION IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT Thesis submitted to the Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Translation by Merlin Özkan Boğaziçi University 2009 Thesis Abstract Merlin Özkan, “Harry Potter in Turkey: The Sociocultural Framework of Translation in a Global Context” This study focuses on the sociocultural framework of translational phenomena which governs the selection, production and reception processes. In this light, the external forces effective in the creation of a translated text, how these forces influence the adoption of translation strategies and the impact of translation as a cultural product are analyzed. The implications of cultural exchange through translation in a globalized background are studied in line with the analysis of the interactional character between broader social structures with all its agencies and their effect on the functional mechanisms of translation markets, the publishing industry and the procedural stages of translation. Itamar Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory, Pierre Bourdieu’s relevant concepts of cultural production and circulation model, Gideon Toury’s concept of norms and Lawrence Venuti’s discourse on a cultural and political agenda are explored and questioned in terms of their sociological implications. The applicable aspects of these theoretical approaches are put into test to analyze the implications of the Harry Potter translations in the Turkish target culture and the intercultural relations of translations across various cultural settings. The analysis of the case study has shown that the translations are initially conditioned by the macro clusters of social structures, such as the workings of the publishing industry, the politics of media concerns and specific social, cultural and economic concerns of the decision- makers particular to the target culture.

    Identity, Rhetoric and Behavior: The Contradictory Communities of Wizard Rock by Kelli Rohlman, B.M. A Thesis In MUSICOLOGY Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF MUSIC Approved Dr. Christopher J. Smith Chair Professor Angela Mariani Dr. Thomas Cimarusti Ralph Ferguson Dean of the Graduate School December, 2010 Copyright 2010, Kelli Rohlman Texas Tech University, Kelli Rohlman, December 2010 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the December 2003 issue of O Magazine, American critic and writer Bell Hooks said “Life-transforming ideas have always come to me through books.” The Harry Potter book series is one that many would claim has changed their lives in one way or another, and I am no exception. I would first like to thank, with the utmost respect and admiration, author J.K. Rowling for her literature that has inspired such a flourishing, creative, and beautiful community of fans. I would then like to register my complete gratitude to each of my informants; without their cooperation, generosity, and eagerness to share their incredible talents and expertise, this thesis would not have been possible. I would like to thank the hundreds of “wizards” that I have met or communicated with along my journey for their undying enthusiasm. I would also like to thank, specifically, Dinah Russell of the Wizrocklopedia.com for her assistance in general community support for my research. Thank you to Melissa Anelli of The Leaky Cauldron website and Pottercast for her accessibility and for answering all of my questions about Harry, A History on multiple occasions.

  • THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK Has Left Me with a Feeling of Awe and Gratitude
    “This book is a history of a community, written by an insider, and I have found it inspiring, moving, humbling, amusing, and, on occasion, downright alarming.... The tale of the online fandom is every bit as extraordinary as Harry’s own, and it THE ALL-IN-ONE AUDIOBOOK has left me with a feeling of awe and gratitude. At last, I know what was really happening out there—and it is wonderful.” —from the foreword by J. K. Rowling During the brief span of just one decade, hundreds of millions of perfectly ordinary people made history: they became the only ones who would remember what it was like when the Harry Potter saga was still unfinished. The unfolding story of a boy wizard changed the way books are read for all time. And as webmistress of the Leaky Cauldron, one of the most popular Harry Potter sites on the Internet, Melissa Anelli had a front row seat to it all. Whether it was hosting live PotterCasts at bookstores across the country or traveling to Edinburgh to interview J. K. Rowling personally, Melissa was at the center of the Harry Potter tornado. The Harry Potter books are a triumph of the imagination that restored the world’s sense of wonder and took on a magical life of their own. With remembrances from J. K. Rowling’s editors, agents, publicists, fans, and Rowling herself, Melissa Anelli takes us on a personal journey through every aspect of the Harry Potter phenomenon—from his very first spell to his lasting impact on the way we live and dream.

  • Yer a Reader, Harry: HP Reread Podcasts As Digital Reading Communities
    . Volume 16, Issue 1 May 2019 Yer a reader, Harry: HP Reread Podcasts as digital reading communities Hannah McGregor, Simon Fraser University, Canada Abstract: The emergence of reread podcasts – in which hosts revisit a favourite book or series, inviting listeners to reread alongside them – offers insight into new digital reading communities that often emerge around active fandoms. Focusing on the popular sub-genre of Harry Potter reread podcasts, this paper asks what lessons these new reading communities can teach us about the practice of rereading, the capacity of podcasts to create new kinds of interactive publics, the link between podcasts and fan communities, and the roles these podcasts play in readers’ lives. Interactive and participatory yet structured around the expertise of the host, reread podcasts have the potential to become pedagogical and thus transformative online spaces. Keywords: Harry Potter; podcasts; fandom; rereading; reading communities The world of digital reading encompasses blogs, Goodreads pages, social media feeds and fan fiction archives – but a particularly understudied facet of contemporary digital reading is the ever-growing genre of reread podcasts. In this genre, hosts revisit a favourite book or series, inviting listeners to reread alongside them. While the hosts offer their own commentary, they also encourage response and engagement from listeners, framing themselves as both expert commentators and fellow readers – and, usually, fans. This paper considers the unique digital reading communities that have emerged around Harry Potter (HP) reread podcasts, including Harry Potter and the Sacred Text, Potterless Podcast, and my own podcast, Witch, Please. Writing from the perspective of a producer, a reader, a fan, and an academic – a member of this reading community in all ways – I’m interested in how reread podcasts frame the cultural role of the Harry Potter series while encouraging interactive and self-reflexive communities of interpretation.
