        • Gryffindor Student - Erica: Professor Vi, Professor Jeff, It’s me Erica and I have a question. I was crystal-ball gazing the other day and I was just wondering. Do you think that, maybe, professor Dumbledore might have kept Professor Trewlaney at Hogwarts because he felt she was in danger because she was the one who made the prophecy? And maybe lord Voldemort would want to go after her? I know he wanted to get rid of the subject of Divination all together; but, it seems like the only logical reason why he would keep Trewlaney teaching and even when she was back in the 5th book, he kept her in the castle. Thanks.
        • RavenClaw Student - Emily: Hi my name is Emily from Iowa and I have a question for you. Ok, In the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius falls through the veil in the Department of Mysteries. What do you think happened to the physical body and what do you think becomes of the spiritual being. Thanks I love your show and keep up the good work.

I was wondering if you had any ideas about if Professor Trelawney having another one of those episodes....you know when she got that really deep voice....and said went all "The Dark Lord will rise again..." stuff just about something more close by or close to home? Just a thought. Thanks for reading my email
        • Shelly aka Hermione's Wish: Hi Guys, I love your web site. Where did you get the music and what is it called? Ok my question is who do think is a better Divination teacher? Prof Trelawney or Firenze? Has anyone in the class used Divination before and did it work? Will Prof Trelawney make any more true predictions? and is she really that bad she did predict neville breaking the tea cup and Hermione leaving the class. Hermione's Wish aka Shelley Oh and Happy Easter everyone
        • Cassidy: Hi my name is cassidy and I was wondering why don't Harry and Ron just quit divination in book three. Because I would have already quit. Thanks for the really cool podcast. oh yeah and I want to be a Griffendor chaser of keeper Gryffindor. Cassidy

It may be useful since I think Snape is a good guy and there may be something in there to help Harry and the trio. Thanks and again, I love the show!!! Keep them coming!!
      • Question about last week's episodeShelley: Hi there I like your pocast and think it's so great because it is different. I would love to be on the grffyndor quidditch team as a keeper. i think in the last podcast you said james was a seeker but he was a chaser. I have a qustion about book 6 why did Harry have try-outs for keeper when that position was filled by Ron Angelina as captin only had try-outs for the empty postions. do you think Hermione acted out of character casting a spell so Ron would get the postion of keeper she is such a strong person to act so silly over a guy.

        • Morgan: Hello Professors, this is morgan from England now and I was just wondering after Harry Potter Goblet of Fire, if you think that the quidditch matches will be covered that much in the new Harry Potter movies. Thank you
        • Annelise: Hi Phoenix Casters! When Harry did the quidditch tryouts for the Grffindor quidditch team in Half Blood Prince, how did he make the final decision for who got on the team and who didn't, especially for the positions of chaser and beater? For chaser, the book states that he began with a basic flying test, but you can't just judge people on how well they fly around the field, and we didn't hear anything about the beaters. Thanks for your time and doing a great podcast! I like how professionally done it is.
      • Quidditch Tryouts!: Student Emails!
        • Erica: Hey PhoenixCasters, Love the show and thank you for answering my question on your first episode. I have a question that is sort of related to Quidditch. What do you think about the fact that Harry's parents lived in Godric's Hollow and Godric's Hollow happens to be where the snitch was invented? Also, after the war is over and assuming that the trio live, do you think Ron and Harry might consider playing Quidditch professionally. Thanks and I would love to be on the Gryffindor House Quidditch team, preferably a chaser.
        • Rafael: I heard your Care of Magical Creatures podcast and first off, let me just say, it was amazing. But, you neglected one of the listeners questions.Something about black eyed peas? But i'll go on to my questions. Do you think Harry Potter will grow up to be a great quiditch seaker, or after this whole thing with Voldemort, he'll stay on the path to become an Auror to help keep other evil wizards at bay? What are your favorite quiditch positions and why? And last but not least, if hermoine, ginny, and luna were to sing "my humps" by the black eye peas at the quiditch match to distract the other team, would it be effective or would it also distract the gryffindor team?
