On Thanksgiving Day 1999, five-year-old Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez was found off the coast of Florida. And the question was, should the boy go back to his father in Cuba?

Okay, listen, Matt. Why do you say it's magical? Well, we might just be diving into the wizarding world. Of Harry Potter. Of Harry Potter. And honestly, I don't think that we could have had a better guest for this topic. She has earned her spot here, I think. She's truly clawed her way. No, that's not what I'm saying. No, no, no. I'm just saying, I'm saying,

I'm saying there's no one that compares. Like this person has been in the Harry Potter trenches. Yes. And you know what? She was one of the hosts of PotterCon just this weekend. During the sorting ceremony. During the sorting ceremony, which is, that's amazing. That's what I mean. You get to oversee everyone's

future begin. That's the headlining act. Absolutely. everyone's future begin that's the headlining act absolutely i mean other credits the headlining act is like everyone waits for the sorting um it's like when you go to harry potter world visiting world that's my one qualm with universal studios visiting world is you don't get sorted yeah that's bullshit there's no imitation sorting you just choose of your own self-image what house you're in, which is flawed. You go into a goddamn shop and buy whatever scarf. Right. And there is like the wand, like the Ollivander's wand ceremony, but it's bullshit. We're going to get into all of it.

Okay. Well, let's go through the credits. Let's go through the credits. She hosts one of my favorite podcasts. And there are many. Yes. She hosts one of my favorite podcasts, Important Shit That Doesn't Matter, with my friend, our friend Ian Adams. Yes.

Hi. Oh my goodness. Oh, I'm so excited. I was like, should I not talk? Should I talk? What should I do? You know, I just don't want to, I don't want to ruin the magic

of the intro. You know what? Not everyone has podcast etiquetteette but you know who's been around the podcast block is elise moran because she hosts her own so now we know the next time if you were trying to go on elisa's podcast and talk to her in the intro you shut your mouth okay don't you go with the magic i giggled a little giggle yeah no when i was on elisa's i giggled yeah our intro is very short yes our intro is very short yes how did you guys start to start uh the importance that doesn't matter podcast um where did it come from so ian

good friend all our friend every friend honestly friend to all friend to all ian adams moved into my basement and he was like super nice we started hitting it off he was just like a craigslist roommate and then that's so funny i didn't know that yeah he was just a craigslist just some dude from georgia who was coming up and he moved in and then he was like hey by the way i have like all of this podcasting equipment if you ever want to start a podcast and i'd have this idea that i wanted to do a podcast called important shit that doesn't matter where like we talked about just like the internet and life online because i feel like it's this thing that people like always dismiss as silly but also like we're all living our lives there and we're all like yeah for sure making actually extremely

important moves on there all the time yes um so we started it and that was that was that i had my little sister send me a voice memo of her singing the intro and then that song lovely theme song yes i think i know all the words i won't attempt to sing it right now i i would attempt to sing it the internet's a place for friends for enemies and almost friends for people that you want to fuck and people you've already fucked so we're here to make the most of all the pics and jokes you post gather around

kids there'll be tears and laughter it's important shit that doesn't matter hosted by Ian and Elise so you should check it out and also Bone and I have both been on it. That's true.

Did you get a little saucy and political in yours? Because I got a little saucy and political in mine. I think I got saucy and political in mine. Well, you had a question come in that someone tweeted to the podcast that they wanted us to talk about the gay internet. The gay internet. Gay Twitter specifically, which I feel like i'm not totally entrenched in yeah in the way that this uh this this question poser might have thought i was but it was a very interesting episode what did he think the gay twitter was like just like he didn't really

specify he just wanted us to tell him what it was i'll tell you what the gay internet is it's gay porn like that's what that is we can talk about that all the doodah day. Everything centers around beautiful men. That's all it is. Did you guys see the flag bearer from Tonga? Oh, yes. Well, he's my cover photo now, so I'm sure everyone has seen. I mean, also, whatever was going on last night with the divers.

I mean, really, it was just us screaming at the screen. Like, come on. Matt, Sudi, and I were just foaming at the mouth. It's a lot. It's a lot. But Tonga really put themselves on the map in an enormous way. They were like, our country has a lot to offer. We're going to oil this guy up.

We have the most oil of any country. We have a lot of oil to spare. We should just dip our citizens. The Middle East thinks it's power and oil. No, that's us. That's Tonga. We need to be going to Tonga. What a statement.

Honestly, incredible. Also, like when Giselle stomped the runway. Yes. She stomped the runway all the way across that big ass field. I wonder if they were just like, okay, we have like a full three and a half minutes. So we just need to fill with something. Yes.

Let's get Giselle. Well, you know, I heard a girl from Ipanema. Yes. We'll add something vaguely Brazilian. It was so stupid. Also, I had heard a rumor

that this was like it was early in the plans and apparently it was nixed, but that she was going to walk the runway. And at the end she was going to get mugged. What? This is what, this is something that I heard was that she was going to get mugged at the

end of the runway and like a staged mugging so that they could, they could like shine a light on the fact that there's so much crime in Brazil. What? Now, and this, so this is, this makes me feel like it must have been

partially true at some point because she like this can't someone didn't someone didn't just make up that giselle was gonna walk the runway like she did yeah and they said like they wanted to in the opening ceremony showed the good and the bad of rio of brazil they wanted to show all it and all of its colors i bet they mixed it after like the bad just took over like the entire press cycle before the Olympics. Why would you draw attention to that? I don't know but that's what they were saying and I was like there's no way that can happen. That's

insane. And then of course it didn't but like apparently it was supposed to be like this like she would get mugged and they would chase the mugger around the stadium and it would become like a dance. Okay now I'm actually, I'm on board now. Yeah.

That's fun. I think it's like, she gets like, mugged. Oh no! Like imagine Giselle's acting in that moment. Honestly,

I wish they had done it. I wish they had done it now. I loved Little Samba Boy. Yes, he was incredible. Little Samba Boy would love to see him come back. He was doing Samba,

he was doing like Capoeira, he was doing all of it. He's a very talented little boy. Oh, lots of talent. And speaking of a talented little boy. That was the segue. So guys, we are here today to talk about Harry Potter. And the reason, and there's been, you know,

all of a sudden all this activity around Harry Potter. Joe needs money. Joe apparently needs the money so it's all begun like i feel like this harry potter renaissance that's happened is you know the books ended and then we had our theme parks happen in orlando and it was an international phenomenon and pottermore and pottermore the website and now we have harry potter also in universal studios in hollywood there's one in j. It's like now I think younger and younger, kids are getting really exposed to the brand of Harry Potter

and therefore there is this demand for new content and so we have Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which we all have some opinions on. Yes, but before we get into those, let's just do with the least what we normally do with our guests. But let's relate this back to Harry Potter. normally do with our guests okay but but let's relate this back to harry potter we always ask our guests what culture has shaped them but this might be a great opportunity to talk about how harry potter shaped each of us yes yes growing so elise like what what so we first of all one of the touchstones

of um roaster 15 year old self are the old pictures of elise yes which are elise's myspace presence back in the day so talk about how yes which are elise's myspace presence back in the day so talk about how elise became elise which is the perfect way i love to phrase that question okay fantastic so uh as far as like i'll talk about my harry potter development and my myspace i love it super concur they're abreast of each other they are they are so right around the same time that i was like learning code to make my myspace oh wow you coded your myspace i coded my myspace so it all started with my very first love i'll say his full name brian shimay great oh that sounds like a really hot kid he was you know what he was like a little bit nerdy we went to hot topic together i bought him a studded belt and he really blossomed so it was a little bit nerdy. We went to Hot Topic together. I bought him a studded belt, and he really blossomed.

Oh, wow. So it was a thing between the two of you. Yes. Okay, cool. So he knew code. He could do computer stuff. And so he taught me a little bit, and then I kind of learned how to like... You know those websites that would make you a template for your MySpace?

I learned how to go in and further adjust those. I couldn't bear write it, but I knew what to look for to MySpace. I learned how to go in and like further adjust those. Like I couldn't bear write it, but I knew what to look for to like change things. So I would make myself these, like I remember the MySpace page that I loved the most had a very, very thick black border. So the actual screen was very small. Yes, I remember those.

Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it had a little black and white robot in the corner that like moved with the page and the bio said if you want to know me fucking know me and then you thought you got to throw it down you got to grab their attention yes and i overrode the top eight and i had a top three that was represented by three pokemon and you could click on one of that i thought represented the friend that it would click through to their MySpace. So I like made it more bitchy, more exclusive. More codified.

Yes. I love it. So during that same time, I was also getting very into Harry Potter fan fiction, which like I was always a big fan of like the Harry Potter fan sites, MuggleNet. There was one, i think there was leaky cauldron leaky cauldron i remember leaky cauldron as well and there might have been one

called like portkey or something but it wasn't as good muggle net oh there should have been one called that's a great yeah yeah so i think so i think there was but either way like I started with those and then I started to get into the world of fan fiction and primarily on fanfiction.net that was my main were you also I was so fanfiction.net had a sister site called

oh gosh I forgot what it was but where it was it was like the home for like original stories and I wrote I tried my hand at writing some horrifically intolerable stories about i was inspired by the movie alfie the remake with jude law oh my god i wrote a whole story about this british womanizer who worked at a news station in new york gotta flip the gender you're ahead of your time yeah yeah no no no well he was male he was a no i womanizer. No, I know.

Yeah. And you wrote about a British womanizer. Womanizer. Sorry, a male womanizer. But anyway, fanfiction.net. Yes. And I also wrote original stories on Fiction Press. That's what it was, Fiction Press.

Fiction Press, yes. Thank you, thank you. So Fiction Press, I wrote original stories. But fanfiction was where I really shone. I had a real knack for taking the Harry Potter characters and putting them in new scenarios, mainly with myself. And,

and was it romantic? Was it saucy? It was sexy. So it was, so it was romantic, but not sexy. I, in fan fiction terms,

if you guys want a little terminology, sex scenes are called lemons. And I did not write any lemons because like you go like when you suck on a lemon you're like so I did not write any lemons because I was writing all of this fan fiction exclusively on my home computer

and I was very scared keeping it local that's good that my dad would be like you know that my dad would one find and then read this fan fiction. So it wasn't that you didn't have the urge to write the lemons. I read a lot of lemons and I would be like, oh my God. But I couldn't bring myself to write them. Also, it's like write what you know.

And I wasn't really having a lot of sex at that time. Right. So you couldn't really myself to write them. Also, it's like write what you know, and I wasn't really having a lot of sex at that time. Right, so you couldn't really delve into that world. But it's good that you knew that. My primary fan fiction time was when Order of the Phoenix had already come out, but we were waiting for Half-Blood Prince. Okay, 2003, 2004. And during that time,

I wrote a very extensive 39 chapters, 650,000 word fan fiction. Oh my gosh. You wrote a book that, yeah, essentially that was literally just the fifth book. I would go, I would sit at my parents' computer and go chapter for chapter,

everything that happened. But it was as if I was there. You chose the longest book. That's so funny. But I was like, I was there. There's a version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix with you. It's you. So it's Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Elise.

To be fair though, that book is the most- My name was Addie in it. Addie. All right. So I have a question. What was Addie good at? Everything. Oh my God.

Everything. That was the main complaint when people would so i got a lot of good reviews but when people would flame me they would always say they would be like you're this character is a mary sue and like fuck you and i would be like oh i'm 14 stop this character's a mary sue yes Which means she's like too perfect. And I'm like that's just how I would be if I got to go. You're saying you hate me. So wait did you graduate high school in 08? Yes. Okay so you were the same age as us. Yes. So

I feel that that year especially legit grew up with Harry Potter. Yes. Because Sorcerer's Stone I was 11. Yes. Exactly. I think that like our age group, it just like timed out really well. Like I read Sorcerer's Stone at 11 and then I think two and three were already out. Yes, they were. And 14 or four, we were maybe a little bit younger than him.

But by five, by the time five came out, we had caught up with him. No. And then Deathly Hallows came out right the summer of our junior year. When we were 17. When they were 17 and they're going to graduate. I remember always being like right there with the characters. And we're the same age as Rupert and Emma and Daniel. Right, yes.

They're actually, that was huge. And that being my personal problem with Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, I think, outside of the fact that I don't think it's written very well, is like, all of a sudden, they're like 50 years old. And also, I really feel like they're watered down,

boring, one-dimensional versions of themselves. I feel my biggest issue with Cursed Child, I've been saying cursed, not cursed. I don't know if that's correct. It's definitely all of us trying to be a little British. It's like never in your life had you ever said cursed

until Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Did you guys, how was your first pronunciation of Hermione? Because I said Hermione until she has Victor Crumb learn how to say it in the fourth book, which I think was in there because they were like, none of the Americans know what this name is. I think that might have been true

because I remember when that moment came in the books because I knew it was Hermione because my fourth grade teacher that read us the book in class was pronouncing it like Hermione. Shout out to Mr. Dumegard who always did the Hagrid voice and no other voices. Wow. who always did the Hagrid voice and no other voices.

Wow. He always did a Hagrid voice, which ended up being the literal Hagrid voice. He nailed this voice and he did no, he attempted to do no other characteristics.

I love that. That was his showcase of Hagrid. That was his showcase. And he went on to get signed by WME. Wow. And so he, I'm sorry. So basically, once I found out that it was her my own name blew your i was like how the fuck could there be that many syllables

in this name like i don't accept it there was a girl i mean i remember that there's this girl named uh ariana um her name was actually Ariana Grante which is very close well you know who she was she was Ariana Grante in my fourth grade class and she was listening to the books on tape and she told me that it was Hermione

and I dismissed her out of hand I was like that's absurd speaking of the audiobook and pronunciations, so originally, and J.K. Rowling abides by this, it's pronounced Voldemort, silent T. And then the guy who read the audiobooks pronounced it Voldemort up until the fifth book after the movies had come out. And after the characters in the movie pronounced it Voldemort,

he had to correct his own pronunciation. Yeah, I never said Voldemort. No, me neither. I absolutely always said Voldemort. I don't understand Voldemort, he had to correct his own pronunciation. Yeah, I never said Voldemort. No, me neither. I absolutely always said Voldemort. I don't understand Voldemort. I don't get, like, is this supposed to be French? It's supposed to be French. That's another problem that I have with Cursed Child.

What, what? Is that they, like, we have to, I don't know if we have to go in the plot, but at the point where they're traveling and they're in the Voldemort world, everyone's saying his name. And I'm like, they wouldn't be saying his name they would all be saying the dark lord oh yes there is a lot right there is a lot a lot dropped also the book implies that harry went to godric's hollow once with petunia but that's not true harry had never heard

of godric's hollow until that book until the seventh book until that book came out yeah i think it's just very obvious like there's a lot missing not only is there a lot of logic drops but also the humor is totally missing the the humor of the books and henry brought this up because henry kapurski my boyfriend read this prior and i'm about halfway through yeah but henry has has read it and absolutely hated it and he's huge fan and his biggest problem is just like for sheer enjoyment value like humor is gone yeah it's just not funny very very hard they're very they're trying really hard to have scorpius play the ron role but he has none of ron's charm it's just not there. And I think it's because the characters are too fast

and you can tell whatever spark she has. And I think the strongest part of Harry Potter are the characters. It's like the best, most fun part. You get to know them. All of them seem off. None of them seem correct in Cursed Child. And like there are parts of the plot that I think are fun,

but it's like hyper accelerated. Yeah. And the characters are all wrong yeah like ron's like ron's like it like the joke shop guy now which i know he runs weasley's wizard wheezes like i know that that's like canon his personality is so different yeah and hermione she's boring yeah she's boring she's nothing she's spoiler alert she's the minister of magic yeah um very cool yeah but the thing is her character is gone there is a way there has to be a way to make what's so fun and funny and interesting and amazing about hermione and like age that to where she is now but there's no humor in her character all the scenes that i've read so far between hermione and harry are so paint dry yeah and harry is just like i don't know like it's and

of course jenny's whole role in the book is what's happening babe what's going on sweetheart you need to be a better father harry like my i'm just i'm just a mom now. Like, I'm the wife. And like, so another thing is that Albus Severus, Harry's son, who shouldn't have named that. No, absolutely not. Can we talk about the names for one second? Horrible. Horrible. Very bad.

Literally bad. Bad names. Very, very bad. Scorpius, terrible. Albus Severus. Rose. Delphi. Rose, Delphi.

And Rose and Hugo are very, Hugo's not even in it but he goes their other child he goes a solid name i would have rather followed a hugo potter yeah absolutely love the name who hugo hugo hugo for this i love hugo why the fuck is her name rose yeah it's very that is so stupid and then like's... Is she 80 years old? Her name's what? Rose Granger Weasley. Rose Granger Weasley, which I do think it's badass. Yeah, I do think that it's Granger Weasley.

She's like, I'm a Granger Weasley. And I'm like, yes, you are, bitch. Yes, you are. I do love that. So I love it. So Albus Everest goes into Slytherin. That's the big thing. But they never show anything throughout the rest of the book to show why he's in slytherin like they have but like it would be cool to see that he's like ambitious or whatever it is like maybe he like

they tried it that he's like brooding he's like sad yeah but slytherin's thing is that they're ambitious so show him being ambitious and that's why it doesn't make any sense because all he is in this thing is kind of exactly the same as Harry he's like super brave like it just doesn't make any total I feel like that's probably a device just to get him and Scorpius yeah exactly but it's like you have such a cool opportunity to have him kind of maybe struggle with being a shittier person being a slytherin you know like at the end of the day why is he in slytherin because they needed him to be in slytherin for the fucking book yeah they did no work in the early pages of the

text which you absolutely can accomplish you you show one tiny thing about his character and then later on we believe that he's in Slytherin. All we see is him being nervous and terrified that he's going to be put in Slytherin and then he gets put in Slytherin. And honestly, it just depresses me,

the whole thing. Yeah. And I'm at the point in the book now where I don't really want to give too many spoilers, but they're about to do something that is going to alter the course of a lot.

Mm-hmm. And I know it's going to ruin a lot of things have you read the scene with the trolley witch yeah okay i have so many problems i actually i don't know what you guys are talking about i'm gonna get i'm gonna get to the trolley witch later but spoil it for me because i read the whole synopsis and i was like what yeah so we have a we have a segment later in the show called i don't think so, Honey. Okay. And I Don't Think So, Honey, mine is going to be focused on the Trolley Witch. Of the Trolley Witch.

Okay, because I agree. Can we talk about the Trolley Witch now? Yes, we can talk about it. So basically, you know the Trolley Witch who walks down the- Oh, on the Hogwarts- On the Hogwarts- Pumpkin pasties, dude. They have some-

Iconic. A pasty. Yeah. Do you want a pasty? Yeah, that's it. Iconic. That's literally all she does in the books iconic great

so in Harry Potter and the Cursed Child truly iconic I'm not joking no neither am I Harry Potter and the Cursed Child there's a scene where they try to get off the train so Albus and Scorpius who's Scorpius Malfoy

he's the son of Draco Malfoy. Who has a crush on Rose Granger Weasley. Give me a fucking break. Because of course it's got to be that. They're trying to escape the train and meet with the Diggory's. No, they're trying, yeah. So they're trying to leave the train.

All of a sudden, the trolley witch is on top of the train. She's on top of the train. She's like, what's going on and they're like what the fuck like what are you doing so she's like her hands turn into spikes yes and she screams a bellow scream and says no one leaves this train so you find out that the trolley witch is not really a person she's more of like an entity and part of the train she's a magical element of the train who's lived there for hundreds of years and she's never let anyone get of the train. She's like a magical element of the train. Who's lived there for hundreds

of years. And she's never let anyone get off the train. Which honestly, yes, queen. Yes, queen, but also no, I hate. Yes, you better work. You better keep those kids on the train. You better sell your cakes. She becomes that fucking mutant in X2 with the nails. She literally turns into Wolverine,

screams a horrifying scream. They get away from her, but then later on, Hermione says, well, the trolley witch is just so embarrassed and so frustrated. Oh my God. The trolley witch

is very upset. Other two biggest revelations of Cursed Child. Also, she comes out and says she has no name. Yes. She's forgotten her name. None of this is canon.

She's the trolley witch. I dismiss it. Other two biggest revelations of cursed child i will say uh confirmation that voldemort and bellatrix fuck wait i did not know that oh that's a spoiler oh my god i need that yes so confirmation that voldemort and bellatrix did it which thank god yeah they both needed it come on they both honestly it probably was amazing. It probably, it was probably, they were probably flying around.

Honestly, it probably was amazing. Honestly, Elise is getting her fan fiction. There's probably some snake play involved. Oh, yeah. You know there was snake play. You know Nagini got into it. Yes, Nagini was involved. All of the different objects were involved.

The horcruxes bellatrix's like primal screams were probably absolutely horrifying but sexy sexy and you know uh wait what's the second revelation what's the next revelation that moaning myrtle's real full name is myrtle ariana grande no it's Myrtle Elizabeth Warren yes I saw that oh my god that's so funny Myrtle Elizabeth Warren Myrtle first of all

Warren yeah I guess it's a British name Myrtle Elizabeth Warren I feel like even if she knew even if she knew even if JK Rowling knew and named her that or didn't I don't care. I love that so much. There's another revelation in the book.

Dobby's full name, Dobby Barbara Boxer. Just female senators. And of course, Nagini Hillary Clinton. Which is making the conservatives go wild. Yes, they're eating it up. Oh, wow. That's so funny. I'm Julian Edelman.

I'm Rob Gonkowski guess what folks we're teammates again and we're gonna welcome you guys all to dudes on dudes i'm a dude you're a dude and dudes on dudes is our brand new show we're gonna highlight players peers guys that we played against legends from the past and we're just gonna sit here and talk about them and we'll get into the types of dudes.

Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of On Purpose. My latest episode is with Jelly Roll. This episode is one of the most honest and raw interviews I've ever had. We go deep into Jelly Roll's life story

from being in and out of prison from the age of 13 to being one of today's biggest artists. We talk about guilt, shame, body image, and huge life transformations. I was a desperate, delusional dreamer. And the desperate part, that made a lot of trouble.

I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate, delusional dreamer. I just had such an trouble. I encourage delusional dreamers. Be a delusional dreamer. Just don't be a desperate delusional dreamer. I just had such an anger. I was just so mad at life. Everything that wasn't right was everybody's fault but mine. I had such a victim mentality. I took zero accountability for anything in my life.

I was the kid that if you asked what happened, I immediately started with everything but me. It took years for me to break that. Like years of work.

a five-year-old boy floated alone in the ocean. He had lost his mother trying to reach Florida from Cuba. He looked like a little angel. I mean, he looked so fresh. And his name, Elian Gonzalez, will make headlines everywhere. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez. Elian Gonzalez.

Elian. Elian. Elian Gonzalez. At the heart of the story is a young boy and the question of who he belongs with. His father in Cuba. Mr. Gonzales wanted to go home and he wanted to take his son with him. Or his relatives in Miami.

Imagine that your mother died trying to get you to freedom. At the heart of it all is still this painful family separation. Something that as a Cuban, I know all too well.

I've heard so much about it. I know that like you can buy the special wand and go to the little places and do a thing. But like,

so all my Florida family is in Miami. And every time we go, I'm like, guys, can we please go to Orlando? And they're just like, my family won't go with me. So I have to go with friends.

Like I've kind of decided that this is the year you know you must go you must we are we might go in early October we should go just saying please invite me because I will come honestly at least you should come because also like I truly enjoy going with and I think

so David Mazzone and Bowen and I went to Orlando and what I mean it was a transcendent. It was the most fun. I was kind of, honestly, I was managing my expectations a little bit. I was like, well, how much fun are we really going to have as adults going to these theme parks that are designed for kids? But oh my God, it was the funnest experience.

I'm a huge Disneyland freak, too. I love, because when I was a little kid, I grew up in LA, and my mom's best friend did the window displays for Main Street USA. Wow, which are amazing. And so she would get us free tickets all the time and so we would go to

Disneyland and so I like, when I was a little kid, I went to Disneyland all the time. So as far as theme parks go, that is the type of theme park that I enjoy immersive magical immersive worlds and that's my whole thing and you will love wizarding world when you so for i would so here i'm gonna actually map out an itinerary for those of you who might want to go here we go here we go here's what you must do you have to go you have to get a multi-day pass yes

because because it's the studios universal studios florida and anza adventure you go to diagon alley like you would if you were a student you go to diagon alley you peruse the shops you get your gig you you know maybe going star you maybe go into olive handers you got it perhaps be chosen by the the wand attendant and have a moment. I have a moment, honey. So you go into Gringotts Bank. You do the ride of your life, the Gringotts ride, which features Helena and Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort and Bellatrix.

They get up in your face. It's a roller coaster experience that's also 3D and also like an immersive ride. And they get up in your face and it is very coaster experience that's also 3d and also like an immersive ride and they get up in your face and it is very it's incredible it's amazing this is so good so basically it takes place the ride like in between books like six and seven when they need to break into the vault and it takes place i think during seven during seven when you're in the vault when they're in the vault and like belt with hungary horn tail. There is a Hungarian horn tail in the ride. In the ride, there is a Hungarian horn tail. The blind dragon.

Yes. That's under. Yes. A blind abused dragon to be free. Like I'm talking about thrill ride, multiple launches. Like so good. Honestly. So good.

I need to pause that part in the book. Incredible. The way. The fact that she was able to write an action sequence like that. Like they're breaking into Gringotts and making it feel high octane, high adrenaline. It's incredible.

I'm getting chills just thinking about that in the book. I mean, me reading it when I was that age, I was like, well, this is going to be a badass movie. That's when Seven takes off too. Because the beginning of Seven is kind of a rough ride. It's very upsetting. When Ron goes away, it's like so awful. Hermione's in such a funk.

Yeah. Dottie dies. Also, PotterCon was this weekend and there were a lot of amazing silver does. A couple beautiful. That's cool. Just like hot girls dressed as the silver doe and they were awesome. Patronus cosplay?

Yes. Pat patronus cosplay patronus cosplay there was one girl in like an all-white bodysuit and she had wrapped um christmas lights around herself and then done like deer makeup like really good and i was like girl that you won you're so beautiful also in diagon alley is um oh god the weasley's shop. Yes. Weasley's Wizard Weasley's. Wizard Weasley's. Amazing. And Bertie Botts. Bertie Botts. Which is like and Florian's ice cream shop. Florian. He gets kidnapped

from the store. I know. They kidnapped him. Well luckily luckily there's some quote unquote British people to man the store. Great. Because everyone's British too in Harry Potter world. Although actually I think they do luckily there's some quote unquote British people to man the store great because everyone's British too in Harry Potter World in Orlando

although actually I think they do hire a lot of people from the UK for Harry Potter World they do especially when it first opened because I went

when it first opened the first time I went was Christmas when it first opened so you can imagine there was a first of all there was a three hour wait

to get into the part of the theme park of the islands adventure that was harry potter world and my sister and i god we just felt like better than everyone else and we were like we feel as if we shouldn't have to wait on this line so we literally walked past it oh my into oh my god no one stopped us that i've learned it was crazy you can do that i did that at cafe du monde in uh in new orleans like that thing that like tourists wait on like such a long line to go me and my group we just passed the line and seated ourselves yeah and it worked perfectly i was like i've given my life to this.

I was like, these people are here because their tourists and their family brought them here. You don't know that. No, they didn't deserve it as much. I walked right in. I'm sorry. But that's the thing is, what would Harry do? Harry would walk right in. He would walk in. You know, and like, I felt very, you know, Hermione in that moment.

He would polyjuice himself into a park attendant, and he would be in the park. Sure. What if someone had stopped me, and I just went like, Imperio. And they were like, okay.

They walk in. We're dealing with a true crazy person. Can we please? Oh my God. Okay, so wait. So after you do Gringotts, the bank, the ride, which features also true goblins all over.

Yes. You get on the Hogwarts Express, which is a true train that takes you to the other theme park, and you get off the train, and then you're in Hogsmeade. Oh, right, because it's Hogsmeade Village as well. Yes. So there's a Diagon Alley, and then there's the original hogsmeade village

so you walk through hogsmeade village you turn the corner there's like amazing uh dueling dragons roller coaster called dragon challenge it's themed to the triwizard tournament there's like hagrid's house it's like a little roller coaster that goes through it called flight of the hippogriff it's like there's like a little hippogriff animatronic that's very cool very cute and then you round the corner and there's hogwarts and it takes your breath away it is it is shocking i have to go throughout the whole throughout the whole park they're of course pumping the music which is just like the best the best john williams score is just pumping through the whole thing my favorite part of the song is um that's the best part of the song see i i love the more like epic versions of it which i i really honestly there's a moment where you're waiting in line for uh the hogwarts ride which honestly it's indescribable i mean you get you start you get on the line

for the Hogwarts ride and you essentially walk through the grounds of Hogwarts and you walk through It's beautiful. You see the mirror of Erised.

I'm like sweating. You see It's amazing. You see the the scores of the houses. You see the

Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom. You walk through the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom which is amazing. Recreated to scale with the film. It's incredible. Dumbled arts classroom you go you walk through the defense against arts classroom which is amazing recreated to scale with the film it's incredible double doors office you walk through the herbology gardens you literally walk through all of it and then you you do you walk through this part of the hallway where the four heads of houses are in

portraits having conversations with each other and it's just like so fascinating to be a fan of the books and like listen to them talk. It's just so cool. And it's really for us. Yeah. That's awesome. Then the last thing you see before you get on the ride, which is mind blowing, is the sorting hat basically like breaking reality and like telling you about safety. The sorting hat is like, don't put your arms and feet outside the car or you'll be

whatever whatever splurged or whatever harry potter works yeah so basically then you get on it and it's this unbelievable you do the ride it's like two and a half minutes long and your feet touch the ground and you can't believe what you've been through um that sounds so incredible so at parkon there was also a really good mirror of erised costume she won the costume contest because she made the entire like structure of the mirror and it looked perfect and then she was ron weasley holding the house cup with all of the medals oh my god and she would stand in it that's's amazing. That's incredible. It was unreal. Also, so I haven't been to Harry Potter World,

but what I did do was the Warner Brothers Studio Tour in England when I went. And it was just the greatest. So when you go in, they show you this movie that's all about, they put you in this movie theater and then they show you all this that's like all about, they put you in this like movie theater and then they show you like all this behind the scenes stuff of the movie. And they,

and it's narrated by like, like 13 year old Emma and Daniel. And they're like, we love being in the films, blah, blah. And then the screen, the screen lifts up and it's the doors to Hogwarts and they open and it's

the full set for the great hall. That's crazy. And you walk in and it's just like the most insane thing. And then the tour is like self-guided, so you're allowed to be in there for as long as you want. And they have all of the costumes, ton of the original sets. So Dumbledore's office is in there. They have the full Diagon Alley set.

So you walk down, and you see like Weasley's Wizard Weasley's was like the big like guy picking his hat off and like you can walk through the full platform nine and three quarters set and get on the train. It's like, wow, I can't believe I didn't go when I was there. Things like they showed all of Umbridge's costumes from the fifth movie and they were like, as she gets more powerful, her outfits get pinker, like more intensely pink. And I was like,

Oh, I didn't know any of that. They have, um, the statue from the ministry of magic of like the wizards trampling on all the muggles, like the evil Voldemort statue and stuff. It was unreal.

Where is this? Scotland, Ireland. It's in the U it's like in Britain. You have to like take, you can take a bus it's like a bus from some train station that wasn't hard to get to when henry and i were there we saw advertisements for it we only had a limited time and i think it was sold out or something or like it was really expensive so we couldn't go but i now am having such regrets because i really want to go. It's so cool.

And they have everything. And they also have interesting things. A lot of the cast and crew are in the portraits. And so they showed you the portraits in Hogwarts and then which cast and crew member, which director of the movie it actually is and stuff like that. I literally live.

I live. I live. Talk about PotterCon what what was it so so potter kahn this girl margaret ann kaminsky who's great i guess just started it as it started as a get together for her friends in a bar and that's how it first started and then it got bigger and bigger and then last, and I think the year before it was at the bell house, I got involved with it last year. She had contacted me because I've made it known to the world. I love Harry Potter and that I do comedy.

So I got in touch with her. Um, and that was like at the bell house and it was awesome. I love the bell house. What a good man. It was so much fun. But this year it was at Irving plaza whoa which is insane and it was two days at irving plaza i did i like i did the sorting ceremony on the first day so i got to do the opening sorting and it was very fun and i

brought pat wise who had never who is not a he's an only seen the movies person um and he was my dumbledore yeah it's well also muggle net so muggle net did a review which was awesome and they my name's on muggle now my god something that has never yeah they plugged my twitter on muggle net it was i saw that they were like follow they also they also were like pat wise star of the evening no he's not worthy furious they were like he played a very casual dumbledore it was hilarious so we we ran this racket where like we only got one free drink but the drinks at the irving plaza were like mad expensive yeah we were like okay this is not gonna fly so we decided to tell the audience that anyone who brought drinks for us to the stage would get sorted immediately into whatever house. And so by the end, both Pat and I, the article suggests

that only Pat did it, but we both did it. Pat and I were double fisting beers, which was awesome. We got a bunch of free drinks from it. I was I was supposed to have a second show in the evening, literally went to the show, said, I'm too drunk to be here. Left the show. Couldn't do the show. Thank you. Had to go home. Wow.

Oh, my God. I love it. I got too fucked up at PotterCon. But at least you showed up and said, I can't do this. I showed up. I walked in. I was like, it's not going to happen. Yeah, no.

There's no way. I cannot work out these new characters right now. Oh, my God. Wait, can I ask what the vibe was like? Okay, so they come up on stage. Yes. Walk us through it. So the vibe is really good because it is a 21 and over event.

So it's, like, very fun. I also think that in general, because the original Harry Potter, not this Cursed Child mess, but the original Harry Potter is so funny. Yeah. Like, that's such a huge part of the heart of the series that the Harry Potter fans are very good humored bunch. So it's like a very fun thing. The way the sorting ceremony works is that people all put their names into a

goblet of fire and then I come up with it. And then there's another cauldron that has personality questions. And so I just pull names. It was literally an hour of me pulling names bringing people up we'd ask them the questions I throw it to the audience to sort them and Dumbledore makes the final call which I'm sure

was very fun for him yes Pat did one dude brought him a beer and Pat did not sort him into the house of his choice and so he came up to the stage and he did that and then Pat sorted him into Hufflepuff noted Slytherin Pat Wise

very rude and then I pulled the guy's name later so he came back up on stage and was like hey and it was very tense but he did get to go to Gryffindor eventually which is good what house do you think that get to go to Gryffindor eventually which is good

what house do you think that you're in Gryffindor okay I feel very strongly about it yeah I believe that you're a Gryffindor I'd be either I've been told I would be a Slytherin but I feel like and I think you can speak to this I feel like a vast majority of people self sort themselves into Ravenclaw yes I think it's I think it's what a lot of people do when they're like, I want to say that I'm in a cool house and that I'm smart, but I don't want to be, um, as braggadocious as to say that I'm a Gryffindor.

Which is why they do that. A hundred percent. Yes. So a lot of people say Ravenclaw. I think also like probably the crowd that we're hanging out with has like a, like a intellectually liberal vibe. And they want they they want to be like they want to be Ravenclaws. What I always say about myself is I really feel like depending on what phase of my life you talk about, like I would have been in different houses.

Like when I was a kid, when I was 11 years old, you would have put me in Gryffindor for sure. What about now? In my early 20s, for sure what about now in my early 20s for sure slytherin like absolutely late teens early 20s slytherin down right now in my life i feel like i'm a hufflepuff but i will but i will die a raven okay so interesting that you're like get allowing yourself the flux to change houses why are you a hufflepuff now right now i feel like i'm a hufflepuff because i'm very laissez-faire about the whole thing like i really that means you're a hufflepuff no i think it does i think because i'm embracing the

fun and trying to be like like kind and just really trying to be like like in this new phase of my life like just trying to be like hey you know let's enjoy life like i really don't feel like that lines up with any other house and you know we did this last week with sam taggart we talked about sex in the city and we talked about the city ladies and one of the reasons why i feel like i identify as a carry is because i strongly feel disconnected from the other three yes and I would say like, if you were to break them, all four of them down into traits, like,

yeah, I feel like a Hufflepuff right now, which Henry, my boyfriend gets mad when I call him a Hufflepuff, but he is, and it's not a bad thing. In the best way. Yeah. But so,

but Hufflepuff, so Hufflepuff's thing is like, unafraid of toil. Do you like, like, that is not Matt Rogers at all. You think I'm afraid of toil. Do you like. That is not Matt Rogers at all. You think I'm afraid of toil? As I sip my cocktail.

Oh, during PotterCon, the first girl who got sorted into Hufflepuff said that she liked to watch Shameless. So we all decided that Shameless was another Hufflepuff. Yes, they all love Shameless. Like, like, unafraid of toil. Great friend. Shameless. Oh, wait. Yes, they all love Shameless. Like, unafraid of toil, great friend, Shameless. Yes. Oh, wait, they are Shameless. They love the show Shameless. I'm like, God, that's so funny.

But, so like, I don't know. I always think about Hufflepuffs as like the people from my high school who went to UVA. Like, they worked very hard and they got great. Says Udels, Elise Morales, where all all the gryffindors that is true well listen university of delaware is it's um you have to be brave to get through it it's a huge school right school because i had several friends that went there and were our age it's a big it's a big little school because you know like delaware is a small state so i feel like it's a it's a big little school. Because Delaware is a small state.

So I feel like it's a state school, but for a small state. So it's kind of like, I think it's like 12,000 undergrads or something. So it's sizable. Right. It's that situation where I could throw out three names and like, of course, you wouldn't know them, but there's that chance you would know one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereas with other things, it's not the same.

Yeah, I feel like Hufflepuffs work very hard and they're generally likable, but I'm not, I mean, I guess Cedric Diggory had his part. You wouldn't fuck one. I, well,

it depends on what he looks like. If it's Cedric Diggory. I think we'd all fuck Cedric. We'd all fuck Cedric. I would ghost Cedric. Yeah. Before we move on, I think what Elise, I just want to point out something,

underline something Elise mentioned, is that Harry Potter fans have a sense of humor because the books are funny. You would not be able to do the same thing with Lord of the Rings fans because they would take it so seriously. It's very serious and I think probably Game of Thrones fans are a little bit... Game of Thrones has some humor because of Tyrion and stuff.

Hodor or whatever. Are you also a Lord of the Rings you also a Game of Thrones fan? I've read the books and I watch the show, but it's not the same. I'm not like an encyclopedia for that stuff. But I think that Harry Potter has a very fun, light heart and that like showed up in PotterCon. Like everyone is there to have a really good time.

People are drinking there. They have funny costumes. Like there were a lot of really, really amazing costumes. There was this one Voldemort there who had like full prosthetics. It was crazy. But there was also like cute friends who came as Ron and Padma Patil. And like,

like, like it was two gals and one was wearing like the shitty frilly robes that Ron had like she bought them online and then the other one had like the like an orange sari and they like went on and just like they would walk around looking pissed off at each other and he was like like they would kind of hold hands and then be like and I was like I loved it you know what's your favorite book? Goblet of Fire. Same.

Goblet of Fire. I absolutely think it, when you look back on this series, like Goblet of Fire was the one, I think because like of how it starts and how it, like just the procession of like, you know, you got the Yule Ball, you got the Triwizard Tournament, you have like them in the thick of their like adolescence yes and then it ends with the dark turn and the books are never the same perfectly paced because

the first three books all led up to some big event at the end whereas goblet of fire had like three forward spaced out it was like high energy events it straddles the goblet of fire is the book that like lives in the two worlds that exist in harry potter which are like the light frivolous like tumbledore's password is lemon drops world of like the first three books and the upside down and then the like like you need to confront death harry the last like it lives in kind of both of those worlds. They're like silly, goofy things. Like the Rita Skeeter plot line,

I think is like very, there are so many fun subplots in God of Fire, Rita Skeeter. Yes. And then like Harry loving Cho Chang starts then. That's when you get the first hint of Ron and Hermione really. It's true. Which is very fun.

I, and hot Hermione. Yeah. Hot Hermione. I It's true. Which is very fun. I. And hot Hermione. Yeah. Hot Hermione. I'll never forget. Yeah. Hot Hermione was a moment in time. I will never.

Have we talked about this on this podcast before? Because I'm having deja vu right now. About hot Hermione? About this moment of. So I will never forget a moment in my life that changed my life was when um i remember i was reading goblet of fire and i was sitting by by the pool and i was like reading it and i remember it was the moment when they've grabbed harry and cedric have decided to grab the cup together. Yes.

And it's a porky and they get transported to the manor. And when Cedric was murdered by Voldemort. Kill this pig. That absolutely, I had to put the book down and I had to like do several like laps around my yard. I was like, my life has changed. Because that shit had not happened before. No, it had never happened. And also I think in my like short life at that time, like I had never like actually understood like kids die.

Like I really, like that was a choice. It also happens so fast. Yeah, I know. It happens in like an instant. Never forget the line, he was dead before he hit the ground. Yeah. Never forget the line. We'll never forget that.

And Fred Weasley, the ghost of his last laugh still on his face when he died. Whoa. Oh my God, in the seventh? That's beautiful. That's a big one. The ghost of his last laugh still on his face. Yeah. That is really, wow. Oh my God. The seventh book too his face. Yeah. That is really, wow.

Oh my God. The seventh book too is phenomenal. Yeah, seventh is- She could have fucked that up for real and she like hit a home run. The Battle of Hogwarts is one of the coolest things ever. And then like Harry meeting Dumbledore at King's Cross and like that-

Beautiful. Oh, so beautiful. Oh, and like the gross like fetal voldemort yes like dying absolutely horrible and also i just feel like it's so rare as an artist like that you truly like especially at that level of commercial success for her like where you truly nail something on every level like she stuck the landing so hard and so for her to be on her twitter and say gosh i wish i hadn't put hermione and ron together so ridiculous i'm like get so ridiculous because also it's so much cooler that harry and hermione are just good friends it's absolutely way cooler i think like i think that show having a strong platonic male

female friendship at the heart of the story like is huge it's huge i mean it's like like you don't see that in books it would have completely undercut all this stuff yes yes like it would have made her instead of her being hermione it would have made her harry's her boyfriend exactly and she stands on her own more when she's with ron absolutely like yeah and also just like yeah just like you can't take hermione's power away from her that does take away everything and also if she had a regret then come out and say that it's you put hermione with anybody like like i just hated that i just thought it was so disrespectful and i was like because we all were with her you know what i mean like and then to hear how she would change

other things about the books like i can't really relate any specifics right now but just i don't want to hear how she would have rewritten it or how she would do it now. I don't. JK is a little too like eager to like hit the keyboard and be like, I know. I think she's adrift a little bit with what to do with this thing. And newsflash,

what she should do is write the marauders prequel. That's exactly what I've been thinking since the third book news. Yeah. It's just like, well, I think she doesn't want to do it because it's precisely the thing that everyone wants her to do, but it's all,

it's so there. It's all there. And I said that shit on stage at Potter con and it got like raucous applause. Like people want it. And it's like, I'm going to get Irving Plaza. Give you like a huge applause break.

That's crazy. Like I just, because I was like, we need to know. I was like, we need to know how Lily and how did Lily start liking James? We like don't really get the answers to that. And then the other thing is like Sirius is really hot. And like I would love to explore that. They were all hot. James Potter was hot.

Sirius was hot. They were like the fucking rat pack. And Lupin was hot in like a cute little way. And then Pettigrew, no. No, Pettigrew, no. That was my one thing. I was like, why is Pettigrew friends with that? I know.

And it's also like when your friend turns into a rat, when the animal that expresses his heart is that he's a rat, it's like maybe we need, yeah, red flag. When his inimigus is a rat, red flag. Yeah, red flag. We gotta move forward. Also, my favorite part of the seventh book was exploring, was it seventh or sixth?

Exploring Snape and you finding out James is a total asshole. Yes, and it's like, oh, that James. It's so interesting because in the first books, there's so much James adoration. Like Harry's focus is so much on James and like knowing more about James his father and towards the end it really becomes so much more about Lily and

you like find out that Lily was like really the heart of everything and that like she was the one who was like good and kind and she saved him and that she saved him with her mother's love I absolutely loved that Snape backstory

from the last book. Princess Tale. One of the best chapters of any book ever. It was truly well done. And that's like, for me, it's like, I haven't finished this. I will finish it. Curse a Child. But the thing is, I don't need this.

You know what I mean? When she ended the last book with and all was well that was good for me yeah i actually didn't want to continue further in harry's life i would like to know back more or i do think it's interesting that she's doing fantastic beasts i'm like interested to see what she's gonna do yeah have you guys read any of the like potter more stuff about like the other wizarding schools and stuff in america so there's the one in america there's one in africa crazy the names is the american one and then the house names also said this at potter con feels like a first draft

run through these again they're so bad very first, which is what I got. It's like some sort of large cat. Pukwudgie, which is like a tiny humanoid figure. I got Pukwudgie. Horned serpent. What the hell? Make a name for a horned serpent. Thunderbird. And those are them.

It's very bad. This is what every kid names the shit that they draw. And it's what Cursed Child feels like. It feels like fan fiction. I think that J.K. Rowling is also a profoundly British woman. And if she's going to be writing about other people and other places, she needs some other hands on deck. So she was writing about the other schools.

I think it's very cool. There are some problems. One, Africa has one school. Yeah yeah and they don't use wands and they all learn to turn into animals oh man so south america also has one school it's in brazil all of asia has one school it's in japan so let's talk about how china has nowhere to put all their wizard the chinese have to learn japanese first of all the japanese are not letting like koreans and chinese people come to their school is this true no i just that's my extrapolation that japan's not doing that right Right, right, right. So, like, but also Japan does have a cool backstory

where, like, they get these robes at the start of their learning, and as they grow, the robes change color, like, as they learn more about magic, and then if they, like, become a dark magic person, or, like, a dark wizard, they turn white, and it's, like, dishonor on your family, which is, like, well, cool for you

to bring in dishonor on your family. Oh my God. But she just needs, so let's like, wait, where is this information? Pottermore? On Pottermore.

So there are three schools in Europe, Durmstrang, Beauxbaton, and Hogwarts. And then every other continent has one. And Australia has none. And it's just a mess. And I'm like, girl, this is very cool but like you need

she already got in trouble for like the way she talked she did a whole series on magic in North America and like wove in a lot of like Native American things and did it in a way that Native American people didn't like and I was like you shouldn't have touched this you should not have gone here with this which like obviously if she's gonna write about magic in north america it's good for her to include like native american people but maybe get some of those people on your team to like help you yeah right because i guess she like took this very like skinwalkers or like a sacred like thing and she was like they're really just wizards and people were like no no they're not really just wizards i think she's an extraordinarily talented person yes i think that there is a time to say goodbye yeah and like i think you know she

is in a place right now she's certainly in a financial place where she can afford to say goodbye yes i really don't think it's that she needs money i think she's a creative person who wants to create more and i i truly think like she thinks that she's contributing as she puts more and more in the world and also i do think there's a lot of pressure on her from the industry to keep doing it keep going but the thing is like within what she's set up like like i have no problem with fantastic beasts being a movie i have no problem with that i think that's kind of fun i think it's gonna be cool that it's in the u.s in the 20s and stuff i think that's really fun eddie redman it's awesome i guess like don't fuck up what you've already perfected yeah because it's so cursed child feels yeah and honestly i like there is an element and i'll just say on here like spoiler alert maybe turn the volume down for the next 10, 15 seconds.

There's an element of time travel, and I feel like it's going to be very Back to the Future where it's going to fuck some shit up. Yeah. And I'm not happy about it. It's very winky, because now it's like you're going back to all these moments that people remember.

It's fan service. Yeah. It's fan service. Yes. I mean, it reads kind of like a fan fiction, to be honest. Yeah. It's fan service. Yes. I mean, it reads kind of like a fan fiction to be honest. Yeah. Like that it's like these characters, but they're not exactly right. And they're like

doing, they're doing things that, I don't know. I think, I don't, I just don't think that Cursed Child is what people want. No. I don't think like actually, I think the story of Harry was done. Yeah. at the end of the seventh book. And it kind of like ruins it to have like these people and things coming back like, you know, another potential spoiler or whatever.

But there's Voldemort stuff in there. And I'm like, no, Voldemort's defeated. Voldemort's done. He defeated Voldemort. He killed the people, like he sacrificed himself and died and came back to fucking life

and then like Neville killed the snake and Voldemort's done. And it's the same problem I have really and I did love The Force Awakens. I did like Star Wars a lot

but it's the same problem I have with that. It's like the Republic has risen. Yeah. It's like, what are you talking about? How?

Where did they come from? How? Honestly, answer the question. Where did they come from? Because they were wiped out. I understand there's conflict again. Make it an entirely new conflict. That was my thing.

I was like, get a new dark wizard in here. My thing with this is towards the end end and this is just from synopses because i i don't really feel like i care about this book enough to read it or this play enough to read it but there's some plot elements in the end that just feel very deus ex machina like it's like oh all of a sudden there's this thing that we didn't of course address before and which the books never did the books were self-contained and realized enough to like have everything makes sense and this just feels like it's pulling stuff out of its ass because it's trying to be too epic and and it's trying to cover so much ground time wise you go through what four years in this it's

yeah pretty crazy it's crazy and there's so much of like characters coming up like um like like one example is like a scene at the very very very beginning where you meet Scorpius Malfoy and Rose Granger Weasley is like, you're the boy who everyone thinks is Voldemort's real son. This is your backstory and life. Goodbye. It's horrible.

It's just like, I can't, I don't like, it's very bad. It's not, all of the things that are great about Harry Potter, like the law, like the development of things, whatever is like completely undercut in this thing and also like she should have gotten that lady to do some of the illustrations

yes something brought some of that back yes but I know I just think I think expanding the world is cool I think that if she want well my, my prediction is that... So we're doing this Magic in North America thing with Fantastic Beasts, but Fantastic Beasts is kind of like... It's obviously going to be a franchise and it's a perfect franchise to travel all around the world. So I think she released this stuff about the other wizarding schools

because Fantastic Beasts is going to take... It'll be like around the world wizard travel journey. Which is cool. Which is definitely cool. I'd like to read an excerpt of some bad writing from The Cursed journey. Which is cool. Which is definitely cool. I'd like to read an excerpt of some bad writing from The Cursed Child. Okay, great.

So this is a scene where all the adult characters arrive at Professor Minerva McGonagall's headmistress. So Minerva McGonagall, who's now got to be 3,000 years old,

who's still living, is headmistress of Harry Potter. No, headmistress of Hogwarts. She's headmistress of Hogwarts. And she all of a sudden she's in her office and everyone arrives through flu powder through the chimney. And this exchange happens between Harry and Draco Malfoy. Quite a surprise to see you, Draco. I thought you didn't believe in my dreams draco says i don't but i do trust your luck harry potter is always where the action is at

and i need my son back with me safe and safe and sound jenny says then let's go to the forbidden forest and find them both and scene it's just like such middle school play yeah it's like very it's let's go here next scene it's so much of that it's so much of that and also there's like a weird element of like albus severus knowing like everything that's ever happened in harry's life as if he's read the books and it's like yo like i don't know about everything my parents have done yeah like like literally he's like well the second task was the one where they went into the water and blah blah and it's like why the fuck do you know that like who would know like why would you like i don't know about like what like my mom's cheer competitions or whatever. Like, I don't know. Yeah, no.

Like he just knows everything about Harry's life. And like, it's, it's very black. And I feel like there's going to be a lot of people out there that are going to hear that there's criticism of Cursed Child. There's those people that, it's like me when I watched like season five and six of Lost. I was like,

no, it's still good. It wasn't. and it's like those people are going to be out there for this book but here's what i would say to them it's like we have earned the right to criticize these books i mean because like i said there's nothing better than the original you know what i mean like the original series it's it was amazing like this does not feel right and we're allowed to say that it doesn't feel right. Yeah.

You can tell it's not purely her. Right. Well, she didn't write it. She came up with the story. Yeah, she just supervised the story. And you can tell because the characters are all wrong. And it just lacks the spark of the original. My hope is that we'll see some of that in um fantastic beasts i have

really liked the previews of fantastic i think it looks good fun i also think it's great that she herself wrote the screen yes but and i didn't know that that was true that's cool i don't know i didn't know that they would have like hollywood is so weird i didn't know that they would have like trusted her a novelist to write a screenplay for it but looks like they did and that's exciting for me because i do think she's fantastic yeah i think it's gonna be i mean i have really enjoyed like all the little hints at it i think that it's really fun um and i am excited to like learn about american wizards and stuff like that like it takes place like there's that scene where it shows like the seal for the magical Congress of the United States,

which is right here in New York City underneath the Woolworths building. I love that. The what building? The Woolworths building. Oh, okay. So it's Colin Farrell,

Eddie Redmayne, and then is the rest of it kind of just like unknown? Yeah, new people. I think that part of it is that he's running around with a muggle. He actually has a muggle friend, which is one of the things that i did think was was something that maybe could

have been done in the original series was have there be like one actual muggle who was like a good person or that wasn't like a full idiot yeah that wasn't just like the worst i mean i get you can't do everything but like the only ones were the Dursleys and it was just so bad. Even if Dudley was like, okay, kind of had like an epiphany at the end. Because the Dementor showed him himself as he truly was.

Yeah. Wow. Honestly, guys. That's what J.K. Rowling said afterwards. Like, so to wrap the Harry Potter conversation up, we do not necessarily endorse Harry Potter and the Crimson Child. However, you know what?

Fans, go ahead and read it and make your own opinions on it. There are interesting revelations in it. Yeah. The biggest, of course, being Myrtle Elizabeth Warren. Of course. That's huge. Honestly, I have yet to get to the part

where Bellatrix and voldemort fuck i mean to that i say show don't tell we don't see it we don't see it staged unfortunately they're telling you not showing that i say show don't tell if you're gonna you need to walk the walk honey yes that's the book that she that's the play that we need to honestly give me an intimate two-person play, which is Bellatrix and Voldemort. Our producer Joe is shaking his head yes wildly. And give me the fool for love.

With Helena and Ralph Fiennes. Give me a fool for love with Helena and Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange, and I give you my money, honey. I love it. I give it twice over. We're at a segment in our show okay great called i don't think so honey now this is the touchstone of lost culture is by the way i should i should i should mention that we have of course been rocking our culture is to have

yes and we feel very much like like we are um cruising down we are cruising down the river that is culture. Yes. And rule number 87. Seeing interesting beasts along the coast. Rule number 87 of culture, cruise down the river, honey. Rule number 87 of culture, cruise down the river. We haven't come up with rules in a while. Well, that's rule number 87.

So we'll make a note of that, that we should remember patterns we'll catalog it improv people so i don't think so honey we're gonna rail against something in culture just for one minute you have one minute on the clock elise okay you're gonna select something in the culture it can be anything and you have one minute to provide to make a case about why it sucks and you you need to say the words, I don't think so, honey. As much as you can to drive home the point because you know what? That's really what this is about. And just, we're gonna lead by example.

You're gonna see how this is done, Matt. I've gone first every single episode. So how about you go first this time? So you're thinking that I should go first? Because you already, it sounds like you already have something. Okay, well, I had something really good and then it- The Trolley Witch.

The Trolley Witch, but I feel like I've already railed against the Tey which i'm not going first i don't have anything okay all right um okay go with it bitch ready all right yes i got one and clock starts now i don't think so honey not enough trailers for beauty and the beast the movie i have been waiting for too goddamn long to wait for a fucking trailer which is mostly voices off screen. I haven't seen

any of the anamorphic objects around the house talking. I want to know how it's going to look. I don't think so, honey. Me just hearing their voices. I don't think so, honey.

One shot of gorgeous Emma Watson bending over to touch a rose. I don't think so, honey. I want to hear Emma Watson sing. I want to say if this is a musical stop being afraid of the music my problem with hollywood trailers that are about musicals you're afraid of the music into the woods you were afraid of the music you confuse the viewing public i don't think so honey it's a

musical it's stonheim you disrespect stonheim i don't think so honey you have to have a trailer packed of music beauty and the beast iconic musical don't Sondheim? I don't think so, honey. You have to have a trailer packed of music. Beauty and the Beast iconic musical. Don't be afraid of the music. Don't be afraid to show me imagery,

glory, glamour. I want to see Emma Watson head to toe in a yellow gown. I don't think so, honey. Anything less. If you don't give me trailer, I don't give you life.

I don't think so, honey. One minute. Wow. I'm sorry, but that was my best ever. If you don't give me trailer, you don't give me life. I just feel like it's coming out In March 2017 and like

We've got nothing We've got really close to nothing We've got table scraps and I Want more Because I am ready for Emma Watson's next phase I really am I'm a huge fan I think she's fucking brilliant Yes we got a trailer

I know exactly what you're talking about because you, me, and Sudi went to go see Bad Moms last week. They played a trailer. We got so excited and then it was a fucking cop-out. Didn't see a face. Everything was disembodied. We only saw her face for a second. Did you know that Emma Watson's last movie in the UK made

only $69? What? It's not her fault. I'm going to say it's not her fault. It's not her fault it's not her fault i'm gonna say it's not her fault it's not her fault but it did make 69 oh my god that's perfect well i will say this 69 what does that mean like six people saw it yeah like it's like very very few like the net like the gross and it's only like it that's only like 40 euro it's crazy yeah i mean well after brexit it's a thousand euro yeah that's true so what i just like my thing is like we were watching that trailer and i was so excited because i was like oh my god it's beauty and the

beast because i had heard the mirror you heard cogs word but i hadn't seen it on like the big screen and it's when she bends down to touch the rose and you see her like a beautiful face and you're just like oh my god she's bell now she was her mind you're like now she's bell literally i started applauding i was that person in the movie theater but didn't you want more honey but i need more and honestly i waited too long i love beauty and the beast you need i love beauty and the beast i think my favorite is Little Mermaid. Also need the live action Little Mermaid. Don't know how they'll do it, but need it. I love, love, love Beauty and the Beast. Don't worry.

You're going to get more come November when Moana comes out, that new Disney movie. You're going to get a full trailer. I'm sure. I'm sure. Also would love a live action Mulan. That would be amazing. Aladdin. Aladdin live action. Also would love for them to revisit Pocahontas and maybe do it right

and get a live action Pocahontas because I think that there's elements of Pocahontas that are incredible. Yes, I agree. It's historical interpretation is all wrong. It's very bad. And I would love for them to do like a more adult, stark, kind of realistic portrayal

of what the life of pocahontas was with that kind of you know romantic type of um cinematic feel i would love to see what that is i think it could be amazing i love it wow thank you thank you man i'm down for the live action disney stuff i'm so down i also i love musicals i love musicals yeah that mine. Okay. I guess I'll go and then Elise can go. So I'm going to put one minute on the clock for Bowen Yang. This is Bowen Yang's I Don't Think So Honey and one minute on the clock. Go. I Don't Think So Honey, American waitstaff who make a huge fucking deal out of splitting

the check. I was just in Montreal this weekend. Every single wait person was happy, more than eager to split the check for us and split dishes for people who shared and people who split. I don't think so, honey. Waiters who are complacent, who are lazy, who don't want to put an effort to please and satisfy their customers, bitch. I don't think so, honey.

American service industry for encouraging this and propagating this in the culture of American service. I don't think so, honey. Customers who feel bad about and don't feel empowered to demand this from their wait staff. I don't think so, honey. Customers who feel bad about and don't feel empowered to demand this from their waitstaff. I don't think so, honey. Rude waitstaff and slow waitstaff. So this is equal opportunity. I don't think so, honey. Canadian wait people, very slow because you know what? They're too laid back and they're too nice and nothing's a rush. So I don't think so, honey. Waitstaff, Canadian and American. I can't speak to Mexican waitstaff. I'm sure

they're lovely. Maybe they balance it out for symmetry. Who knows? But I don't think so, honey. Waitstaff, Canadian and American. I can't speak to Mexican waitstaff. I'm sure they're lovely. Maybe they balance it out for symmetry. Who knows? But I don't think so, honey. Wait people across North America, bitch. That's one minute. That's one minute. Bone Yang, ever waited at a table in your life?

No, but... Well, then shut the fuck up. Bitch, let me say something. You better shut the fuck up right now. I don't think so, honey, Bone Yang. Bitch, I am not in the... I am not... That's not my job.

I've been... No, my first job was at Maggie Moo's at an ice cream shop. Maggie Moo? It was a really... It was like the poor man's Cold Stone. But I did my job fantastically. Okay, Bowen. I'm just saying, I...

It depends on how many cards you split it from. I'm a server. And if a party of eight is like, hey, can you split this eight ways? Sorry, bitch. Girl, I didn't mean to make this a personal attack on you. You attacked me personally to here and now. But listen, we were dining out six people every night,

and we didn't even bring it up. The way people would just be like, should I split this? And we were like, if it's not a big deal. And they were like, no, no, no, I'm happy to. I think it truly depends on the establishment. But all of these establishments throughout Montreal were just more than eager to do it. Matt, I think we have a lot to depends on the establishment. But all of these establishments throughout Montreal were just more than eager to do it. Matt, I think we have a lot to learn from the Canadians.

I absolutely think that's true. As a dual citizen, I can say this. I also think you need to cut people some slack. I think that you are really aggressive. I think that Bowen Yang is a villain. And Bowen Yang is a restaurant villain. Bitch, you cannot turn this around on me. That was my I Don't Think So Honey.

You do not undercut my I Don't Think So Honey. Elise, are you ready? I'm ready. Anything you want. I'm ready. I'm going to do, I'm doing a Harry Potter. All right. I love it.

Stay on the brand. Because I do, I do have something to say. All right. She has something to say. And I can tell it's good because she's been sitting quietly. And I can tell she's been thinking. I've been thinking. She's been thinking a lot.

And she's ready to unleash right now one minute and a fuck and go okay I don't think so honey that fucking Pottermore waits Hufflepuff more than other houses to put people into Hufflepuff because JK did not do the work of making Hufflepuff cool and it's like I don't think so honey

because listen if you wanted there to be any cool redeeming people from Hufflepuff that was on you to put it in the book. You made one person from there who was hot. Yes, but boring. And he died. So it's like, I don't think so, honey. I've been buying Gryffindor shit for years to have some fucking quiz online.

Tell me that I'm in Hufflepuff because it's weighted some kind of way is ridiculous. Also, the sorting hat takes your choice into consideration. I know this. So I don't fucking think so, honey. I would tell that hat I'm transferring to Dernestrang. I would transfer schools. There are other schools that I can go to. I should be able to click no, no, no, no, no, no, no

before my choice if the website is going to be accurate. So I don't think so, honey. I am not in Hufflepuff. I never would be in Hufflepuff. Goodbye. Wow. That was incredible. Honestly, we also now know how Elise really feels about Hufflepuff.

It's fair. It's fair. A badger? No, I know. I know. I know. Trust me. I know.

There's so much wrong. A diadem? There's so much wrong. There's so much wrong. Like, why? Why? Why? Why make the fourth one? I mean, like why why why make the fourth one i mean you could

even call it the fourth one why make hufflepuff so much worse and less appealing i mean he could have had one friend yeah from that house that was cool because like luna held it down for ravenclaw yeah a hundred percent and also cho yes also cho you know, she had her good and her bad, but like Harry wasn't friends with Cedric Diggory. He was like a character, but he was kind of like, you kind of like didn't like him that much. He immediately died in the same book.

Well, here's- Yeah, you met him really. He was mentioned throughout. He was mentioned throughout because he played Quidditch, right? He played Quidditch, yeah. He was a seeker, right? Yes. So I feel like-

He's the Hufflepuff seeker. He was mentioned throughout and like, sure, sure, sure. But then like he was developed in this way that was like, oh, but he was cool the whole time. And it was like, you're just throwing Hufflepuff a bone where you could have done this the whole time. You really meet him in the third book. Harry falls off his broom with the Dementors in a game against Hufflepuff. Cedric catches the snatch because of that. Because of that.

Also, there are members of Gryffindor who belong on Hufflepuff. Andedric catches the snitch because of that. Because of that. Also, there are members of Gryffindor who belong on Hufflepuff and I will say his name. I'll say first and last names. Colin Creevey. Yes, what's going on with the Creevey brothers? Was a Hufflepuff all the do da day. Oh my god. He did fight in the Battle of Hogwarts

and die. Absolutely. So you know what? Maybe he was retroactively brave. What um, and Dean, I feel like Dean Thomas belongs in Hufflepuff, bitch. die absolutely so you know what in peace maybe he was retroactively brave what um and dean i feel like dean thomas dean thomas belongs in hufflepuff bitch i mean the other one it would have been more the one who the lavender lavender brown lavender brown was name one other hufflepuff besides cedric i can't think of one they're hannah abbott no who marries neville in the end apparently she becomes the neville honestly hufflepuff until the end until the end but at the end you find out well no because in the first one he stands up to them and shows that he's brave and then uh he helps harry with the

task he gets him the gillyweed and um and then in the end he kills the snake with the sword of Gryffindor which he couldn't have pulled out of the hat it's just that all the whole time he had been like a punk ass up until the whole time what was I gonna say he wears an amazing hooded sweater in the last movie

he got badass and also Neville got so fucking hot it's crazy how hot he got and then they put him in this really nice hoodie. And you can see that it's a hoodie when he runs away from the Dementors or from the Death Eaters. And I remember being like, oh, nice hoodie. That's a good hoodie. They all started to wear hoodies when they got older.

Hufflepuff's like professor representative was who? Sprout. Sprout. Professor Sprout. Which is even. She's not even like. You could have made Maybe the Hufflepuff teacher

Be cool There is Tonks It was in Hufflepuff But you don't associate Her with the house Because you don't see her At Hogwarts

Who was Ravenclaw Head of house Flitwick Flitwick Okay Somebody told me It was Trelawney recently And I'm like

Get the fuck out of here If Trelawney was Head of house for Hufflepuff I guess that would have Made sense It would have been Cooler than Sprout Also they keep Mentioning Sybil Trelawney recently and I'm like get the fuck out of here. If Trelawney was head of house for Hufflepuff I guess that would have made sense. It would have been cooler than Sprout. Also they keep mentioning Sybil Trelawney and Harry Potter and the Curse of Jod and I'm like stop. Stop. Get out. That's not the character we want

called back. No. No. But that was one of the funniest characters that was ever in the book. Yes. It was fantastic. I mean I also loved the fact that hermione hated her yeah i was like this is so funny because she was such like she dropped yeah that she was such like a like kook she was like so crazy yeah hermione was having none of that no she was like this is fake and then they say in the book i'll throw her harry potter a curse of child one bone

it's like well you know hermione Granger hates divination. Like the world over knows that Hermione Granger has denounced divination and in her like Room of Banished books is like Sybil Trelawney's book, which I kind of love. I love that.

Yeah. Sybil Trelawney and Rita Skeeter were the two characters where I was like, you guys are stirring it up. You finna mix it up. Finna mix it up with Rita Skeeter.

I do love Rita Skeeter. Yeah. Rita Skeeter is one of the best. Comical. Comical. The first scene where she's introduced in the books, it's like a sketch. It's so well written and timed.

And she has the quick quotes quill. Yeah. And she keeps saying he's 12. It's so funny. The books really are funny. Yeah, the books are amazing. And also, who played her in the movie? Oh, whoever it was was so good.

She was perfect. Should we just shout out before we go the best movie performances? Because I feel like Rita Skeeter, Alan Rickman, obviously. I mean, Alan Rickman, Tale as Old as Time. Dolores Umbridge. Dolores Umbridge, best ever.

Also, here's a little culture plug. Check out Imelda Staunton performing as Rose in Gypsy on the West End. Her performance of Rose's turn is like one of the best. Oh my God, I had no idea she played Rose. Yeah, she sings too. She's amazing. It's so different than the way Patti LuPone and Brenda Peters do it,

but it's really good. It's acting first, but she's an amazing singer. She's incredible on the part. Luna Lovegood also. Luna was great. I forget her. It's like on the part. Luna Lovegood also amazing. I forget her. It's like Amelia or something. I can't remember.

I do forget. And she was not an actress. She was just a fan of the books who went in and did it. I love it. Oh, good for her. Locked it down. I also, I mean, you have Emma Thompson as Sybil Trelawney. Yes.

Giving you all the crazy she could possibly give. And also maybe the best performance in the whole series I would say personifying the role exactly how it should be Hagrid no I would say Helena Helena nailed it Helena nailed it giving quintessential Helena an amazing

part for her just like killing it and also finding out she was not the first choice for the part the woman that plays Narcissa Malfoy was the first choice for the part the woman that plays Narcissa Malfoy was the first choice for that part and she got pregnant and couldn't do it and Helena Bonham Carter was like well I'm available and they were like oh that's okay that's the perfect sure um Maggie Smith Maggie Smith Maggie Smith but like just like Maggie Smith one of those actors that's like so good

that you forget that they're acting because then you see her on Downton and you're like oh my god so good yeah she's incredible

incredible well hey this has been a fantastic magical episode of Lost Culture this has been so fun I'm so happy we were able to hash this out
