In this episode, we discuss what role the set might play in the new Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· Read the interview with Lox Pratt | See the new leaked set photos

· 1:43 So what did Lox Pratt say? He gave us the insight that the TV show would go into Draco’s home and perhaps show us another side to the professors as well.

· 8:14 There were also leaked photos of the set. The first photo is a house, the second a timetable, and the third a courtyard. There are some interesting details that might point to some features of the Harry Potter TV show. The house is labeled for an old couple, and seeing as it is only for the first season, that might be the Flamel residence?

· 19:34 Location vs. Set. The location is literally where the characters are, but the set is where and how the scenes take place. How should we feel? Why are the characters making these choices? Those are the questions a good set can tell us. With scenes at Malfoy Manor, Draco has an opportunity to show us how he really feels. Imagine how much we would learn in a scene with Draco walking the grounds of his house in the summer.

· 25:02 Is this getting too complex? We are seeing so many peaks behind the curtain, and without the finished product to put it all together, it’s hard to see the whole picture. With so many new sets and characters added, the filmmakers are now walking the line between two similar to the films and too complex for audiences to understand. I don’t think it will be too complex in the end, but you never know.

In this episode, we discuss composer Hans Zimmer signing onto the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:35 Hans Zimmer is scoring the TV Show! He is such a well-known composer in the film world. His music is famous for how profound it is, no matter the film. From Kung Fu Panda to the Dark Knight, Hans knows how to create a world.

· 11:05 Hans has a huge sound. I’m interested how music of that size will fit into the world of Harry Potter. John William’s themes are so personal and quiet, which isn’t what Hans is known for.

· 19:45 There’s a lot of room to explore. Music is a 3D art, and that dimensions will hopefully be used. However, this world has boundaries, and it would be a shame if Hans ventured too far.

· 24:40 His music is intense! It’s full of electronics and different textures. But is that the right feel for Harry Potter? Maybe not. John Williams was famous for his orchestral scores, and Hans would do well to stay in the acoustic world.

In this episode, we discuss the finale to season one in our version of the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· Listen to Tea Leaves S1 E7 here!

· 1:40 Quick recap and Harry waking up in the hospital wing. Dumbledore comes to see him and explains what went down. I like that they discussed Harry’s family and why Quirrell was turned to dust when he touches Harry. However, it would be super beneficial for the story to discuss Voldemort’s journey and Flamel’s choices more.

· 14:14 Harry heads down to the feast. All exams have been cancelled, and Dumbledore gives his speech. It should be lighthearted, but I want to get some hints of the darkness to come. Neville gets his ten point that gives Gryffindor the house cup, beginning a wonderful arc.

· 20:05 Packing up. This is the quiet peace of the episode because it’s been so crazy for so long. Hogwarts is a huge place, but it is also incredibly personal. I want a few minutes to walk the grounds one last time and live in this world.

· 24:45 Leaving Hogwarts. We aren’t going to end the season at Hogsmeade station, but Hagrid’s goodbye should still mean something. The trio bords the train and watches as Hogwarts fades away. When they get off in London, they say their goodbyes to each other and the cameras pan out to see everyone having their same conversations, and we fade out.
