Chapter 26 Gringotts ~Time~ Harry Potter and the Sacred Text 7.26 Book 7 Chapter 26 Gringotts ~Time~ Casper: Chapter 26, Gringotts. Their plans were made, their preparations complete. In the ​ smallest bedroom, a single, long, coarse black hair was plucked from the sweater Hermione had been wearing at Malfoy Manor lay curled in a small glass vial on the mantelpiece.. I’m Casper ter Kuile. Vanessa: And I’m Vanessa Zoltan. Casper: And this is Harry Potter and the Sacred Text. Vanessa: We want to start with thanking our patrons today but we also want to make sure that we thank all of our patrons. This is the last group of patrons that signed up for this perk in March and all of you who did, we’re just so, so grateful. You really helped us get through the beginning of Covid, so just thank you so, so much. So this is the last group of patrons, thank you to the five of you that I’m about to say but also just thank you to everyone who we’ve been thanking over the last several months. But Katilyn Carling, Sunjay Kumar, Carrie Worthington, Julian Adler, and Matt, thank you so, so much. Casper: And a big shout out as well to the Lyndale Nerd Squad Collective aka The Slug Club from Minneapolos, Minnesota run by Claire. I love that you have a funny name but also an aka name so huge congrats to you. And if you want to join a fabulous group of nerdy Harry Potter and the Sacred Text fans and readers, come join a local group near you. Find out more on harrypottersacredtext.com. Vanessa: And our final announcement this week is that Casper and I are starting a new podcast and we’re so excited about it! We do need your support in order to make it happen. We are going to be treating all sorts of texts as sacred and tackling some of the biggest questions of what it means to try to be a good human in the world and so to learn more about it go to patreon.com/notsorrypod. That’s patreon.com/notsorrypod. Casper: Does that mean we get to spend another 5 years talking to each other about things that we love and sacred practices? Vanessa: Actually we’re never gonna run out so it could last for 50 years. Casper: *sings* Dreams can come true! So Vanessa, I chose the theme of time, and so you said “Okay, Then you have to tell a story about it!” So I want to tell you about maybe the nicest, most thoughtful gift that I have ever received. A few years ago for my birthday, Sean gave me this kind of slightly, long box. Maybe the size of my forearm and I was like “Ooh! Is it needlework? Is it fireworks?” Like who knows what’s inside. Turns out it was a set of very thin candles with this brass tube about the size of my knuckle that you could open and then the little top of it becomes a little candle holder that those small candles go in. It was so cute and lovely, but then he said “Casper, I thought of you when I saw this because I want you to have a mobile tech sabbath set.” And I was so touched because of the last 6 years every Friday night as our listeners probably know by now, I turn off my phone and my laptop and I light a candle and I sing a little song and I welcome in 24 hours of not using email, and texts and my usual technology because it gives me this break from the work week and more than that it just helps me feel really, fully alive and finding a deep sense of rest and connection to the things that are really important to me. But when I travel, all of that falls away and I end up just watching drag queens on youtube until like 2am and hating myself in the morning for staying up so late. And so it is such a wonderful gift because it’s helped me keep my rhythm of time in a way that helps me feel at home in the world even when pre-Covid I was traveling. Vanessa: There’s so much wisdom in what you do with tech sabbath. Right, it creates this thing to look forward to, and this definition of sabbath or shabbat, which is a time out of time. That’s something that we talk about a lot at the beginning of our pilgrimages. So as I’m sure many of you know, we’ve done (during non-Covid times) run in-person pilgrimages and we’ve been running these virtual ones lately and the way that we talk about them is as times out of time. They are a time in which you are allowed to be entirely selfish or entirely reliant on the hospitality of others. Where you’re inviting your brain to operate in a different way. And I love Casper that you have created a space for you to do that every week and that Sean noticed that there was a sort of, a whole in the siv on where that technology was failing for you and found a really and simple beautiful solution. Casper: Yeah, I love that you say that it’s something to look forward to because I literally start looking forward to it on Tuesday morning. I’m like “How many days left ‘till Friday night?” because it’s not just “ohh, something’s a little different” it’s the whole reality at this point feels different. And listen, I’m very lucky, like I don’t have kids so I don’t have caring responsibilities, I don’t have to look after all the parents or work on a Saturday so I have the luxury of doing that but I think if we can find some way to build in a little moment of sabbath time in our week whenever it is, I’m such a big fan of that. It might just be the bubble bath or the walk with the dog in the morning before other people are awake but it really is something to look forward to. Vanessa: You know, another time out of time is our 30 second recap. Casper: I was going to say, you know something else I look forward to every week! Vanessa: I can’t believe you didn’t lean into the time angle! Casper: Alright, 30 seconds of time on the clock and you’re going first. 3, 2, 1, start! Vanessa: So they head out to Gringotts, and Griphook is on Harry’s back and Hermione is Bellatrix and Ron is changed and it is not a subtle entrance to Diagon Alley. They go into Gringotts and the alarms are sort of raised but it’s going kind of well? Like they are in the part where all the things are and they get into Bellatrix’s thing but everything duplicates and gets really hot and they have to escape and they get onto a dragon and they go up and they escape from Gringotts!” *timer beeps* Casper: Yes! I felt like I was on the dragon with you. Vanessa: That was obviously a flawless 30 second recap of a very simple chapter but do what you can. On your mark, get set, go! Casper: Okay so the plans are made. Griphook-Harry vibes are still a little off. They arrive in not Knockturn Alley, but Diagon Alley! And Tom is there and first Hermione as Bellatrix is like “Oh good morning!” and Ron’s like “You have to be an evil hag!” So she’s like “Okay!” And they walked and then there’s Travers and someone like runs at Hermione and says “You killed my children!” And Hermione’s like “Whaat?” and then Harry is like “Stun, stun, stun!” And they walk up the thing to the bank and then they go in the bank and then there’s clangers because the dragon knows it’s going to be hurt. *timer beeps* It’s actually very cruel. Vanessa: Oh my god, it’s horrible! Harry uses an unforgivable curse for the first time. Casper: I know! Let’s start there actually because he’s really stepped into his power. Using an unforgivable curse. So like he’s crossed a threshold. This is the first time that he’s using one of these curses, and it works! I feel like something in him has changed because of this first time using one of these curses. Vanessa: You know, I think that there are some firsts like that, that just change you and you’re like “Okay, I’m apparently now a person who does this.” Casper: He gets this warm tingle in his arm, like I don’t want to say it’s pleasurable but there is something that feels, not out of place in terms of Harry’s experience right like there’s something that fits a little too comfortably. Vanessa: Well I will say that he’s using Imperio at least the second time. He’s not using it maliciously so he has simultaneously crossed this threshold and made it clear that this threshold is a little bit arbitrary. That this is an unforgivable curse, this is a curse that is illegal under all circumstances, it is like a class A drug of curses. But within that curse, he’s actually using it as benevolently as possible and so I think that’s an interesting thing right? Like we get into our heads, the first time I have a sip of alcohol, the first time I tell a lie, we become this different person where as I think often that’s true, there are firsts that we must count and that matter but not all of these things are done equally.

  • Immersion, Authenticity and the Theme Park As Social Space: Experiencing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Abby Waysdorf and D
    Immersion, authenticity and the theme park as social space: Experiencing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Abby Waysdorf and Dr. Stijn Reijnders Abstract: This article examines the visitor experience of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (WWOHP) theme park at Universal Studios Orlando. The park is hugely popular and has been embraced by the series’ devoted but critical fanbase. Prior research on theme parks has generally focused on critiques of their form, leading to a limited understanding of their appeal. This article asks how fan-visitors interpret this simulated environment, and what leads them to embrace it. It does this with an ethnographic approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with 15 visitors combined with participant observation. We show how WWOHP is understood by its visitors as an adaptation of the series into physical space, via the medium of the theme park, and how the visitor’s experience is shaped through use of ironic imagination. In doing so, we present a new understanding of the immersive media experience of theme parks. Keywords: fandom, theme parks, Harry Potter, immersion, tourism Word Count (including abstract, references, and keywords): 7989 1 “That’s what WWoHP is about. Living it. Being transported to that world and living a day, or a night, there. And that will be completely and truly MAGICAL,” reads a Tumblr post by user ‘niallgirlalmighty’, as part of her description of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (henceforth WWOHP) in Universal Studios Orlando and Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. This post joins many similar ones by fans of the Harry Potter series, who have been flooding to the parks since the first WWOHP opened in 2010.

  • New Directions in the Rhizome of Children's Literature and Children's Culture
    NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE RHIZOME OF CHILDREN’S LITERATURE AND CHILDREN’S CULTURE: A CASE STUDY IN TRANSMEDIA STORYTELLING By KaTosha O’Daniel Approved: Abbie E. Ventura Joseph M. Wilferth Assistant Professor of English Professor of English (Chair) (Committee Member) Matthew W. Guy Andrew D. McCarthy Associate Professor of English Assistant Professor of English (Committee Member) (Committee Member) J. Scott Elwell A. Jerald Ainsworth Dean of the College of Arts and Dean of the Graduate School Sciences NEW DIRECTIONS IN THE RHIZOME OF CHILDREN’S LITERATURE AND CHILDREN’S CULTURE: A CASE STUDY IN TRANSMEDIA STORYTELLING By KaTosha O’Daniel A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master’s of English The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, TN May 2013 ii ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing idea of what constitutes a “text” in twenty-first century children’s literature and children’s culture. Beginning with John Newbery’s A Little Pretty Pocket-Book (1744), through the Golden Age of Children’s Literature—that of the 1860s to 1900—and as a result of the shift to a children’s culture in the 1950s onward, my project interrogates the historical rhizome of children’s literature and children’s culture. The historical rhizome, which serves as the framework for this thesis, indicates the emergence of a fourth branch in the rhizome in our current epistemic mutation to the digitized text. Using J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series as a case study, this thesis illuminates the ways Rowling’s texts can be used as a model to follow in the historical rhizome due to her twenty-first century awareness of audience and text.

  • Universal Orlando Resort™
    PAGE 1 Universal Orlando Resort™ A QUICK-START PLANNING GUIDE Thanks to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™—now two of them!— and more first-rate attractions, Universal Orlando has upped its game when it comes to the theme park experience. But with so many muggles, a visit to Universal Studios Florida™ and Universal’s Islands of Adventure™ isn’t toadally carefree. Even during slower times, there can be waits for the parks’ headlining attractions and dining. With more thrill rides than the Walt Disney World® Resort, Universal is more popular with older children, although there are attractions geared to the tadpoles. We’ve included them in this guide along with must-visit attractions, top restaurants and more planning tips so that you and your family have a great trip! You’ll find more printable guides and in-depth planning information at: undercovertourist.com/planning/ SUGGESTED UNIVERSAL ORLANDO TICKETS With Universal’s parks—plus its brand-new water theme park Volcano Bay and its entertainment area Universal Orlando CityWalk™—all an easy hop away from each other, there is no reason not to go for the Park-to-Park tickets. They allow you to hop back and forth between the parks and ride the Hogwarts Express™ between the Hogsmeade™ and King’s Cross Stations. You have the option to add on Volcano Bay. The base tickets are the most economical option, but they don’t give you as much flexibility and don’t allow you to ride the Hogwarts Express™. We highly recommend you stay on site at an official Universal Orlando hotel.
