Hello, Bonjour, and Hola!

We’ve mentioned this in various contexts and to various people up to this point, but this is our official announcement that the Calendar of WRock, which was successful in raising over $700 for the Harry Potter Alliance last year, will be back again for 2010. I (Cody)  am hard at work putting designs together, and am still early on in the designing process, but we wanted to get some general information up. The calendars will, as last year, be sold to benefit the Harry Potter Alliance. We’re planning to put up the ability to order once all the designs are done, and no later than September or so, although we may go earlier if the interest seems to be in that direction.

This year’s calendar will include:

The Mudbloods, Romilda Vane and the Chocolate Cauldrons, Snidget, Roonil Wazlib, Witherwings, House of Black, Ministry of Magic, Gred and Forge, Marked as His Equal, RiddleTM, Harry and the Potters, and one special overall wizard rock spread.

That’s pretty much all we know at the moment, but we’ll keep you posted on here as new updates come into existence.

Here are previews of the two designs completed so far:

We’re very excited about this, and we hope that you are too!

In This Episode:

-A mysterious yet enthusiastic greeting for you all.
-Tales from a Jewish pre school!
-Basilisk in your Pasta insults the President of France, and Cody finds this amusing.
-Jo warns the ladies not to go for the bad guys.
-Villains are human, and that’s pretty damn scary.
-Julia zones out during Cody’s monologue, but is pretty sure she got the point.
-We say “interesting” a lot in this episode. It must be the new “awesome.”
-The progression of “the bad guy.”
-Vernon or Voldemort?
-Lucius Malfoy is not a typical Death Eater.
-Why would anyone knowingly become a Death Eater?
-Voldemort’s not winning anything with a 50 year old army.
-Cody looks at things in metaphorical terms.
-We worry about being attacked by Rockwood in a dark alleyway.
-The Blacks are effing nuts.
-Were the Potters racist?!?!
-A look at Bella through the lens of her family.
-The power of obsessive love is not to be messed with.
-Why would anyone love Voldemort? We just don’t understand.
-Why doesn’t Voldemort love anyone?
-Voldemort may have had a tragic love story early in life, but somehow we don’t think so.
-The dude abides. Alternately, Voldemort surfs.
-Yay! Psychoanalyzing villains! Squee!
-Merope was brave in many ways, and not so much in others.
-Mothers are important.
-The Hallows and Horcruxes Ball was awesome!
-Julia did the snaps for The Moaning Myrtles again!
-Watch out for flying panties during Ministry of Magic’s set.
-We hugged, we passed out challah, we got kicked out by security.
-There was a signed PwnCast calendar that made us nearly plotz.
