Intolerance. Discrimination. That's all it is. Al's dad told him that Slytherin was all right, and that means it isn't fair how people treat them. Al's realized he has to fix this, and the return of the Triwizard Tournament to Hogwarts after 23 years might be the perfect opportunity to do so. But it's definitely not going to be easy.

This was hilarious when I read it, but its absolutely brilliant read aloud! The dialogue and humor really works well in this style! I love that the characterizations from the story now have a voice. Faith was particularly funny.

Is it Nar whose doing the reading? Whoever it is, is very good. Nice sound quality, too!

[scooterbug8515]

Thanks guys! I'm hoping Chapter 2 won't disappoint. I just hate that the recording cut off the last few words. I'll have to include them some how to the start of chapter 2.

I've been meaning to read this on the site, and when I saw that the story had been made into a podcast I jumped on it!

This was really good - Nar's humor on the forums translates into the story. Poor Albus, he's so clueless about whats really going on in the exchange between Rose and Scorpius. And his line upon being introduced to Scorp - "How dreadful to have a name like Scorpius" or something along those lines - priceless. I also really liked Faith. She was definitly a Slytherin, but she was very likable too, which is quite refreshing. Its also something I'm thinking won't be that unusual in this story, given the title. Can't wait to hear the next chapter, and to find out where Albus is sorted!

Oh, and you sounded awesome scooterbug! Excellent job!

I HOPE THERE IS A NEW CHAPTER RELEASE SOON!!! I loved this. It was brilliant!!! The voices and the story. It was just brilliant!!! I can't wait for the next chapter!

[AmericanGinny]

I was a little weary of this because I don't get into the next gen stuff, but this was brilliant. Can't wait to see how it progresses.

[scooterbug8515]

Wow! I just read the reviews and I'm so excited to do the next chapter. I had kind of pushed this off being distracted and uninspired but I'm excited to get going on the next chapter!

I loved this on the archive and its just as amazing as a podcast. I loved your characterisation of Rose and Faith especially Scooter. Rose is just so prim and proper exactly how I imagined her and how can you not love Faith? I don't know why but she just has this sort of manic quality about her that I think you captured perfectly without her sounding too insane. Oh and the sweets thing, I was craving some sweets or chocolate after that. I just wanted to hug Al and take him home. Everyone should have an Al of their own. Anyways, loved it and Im off to listen to the next one

Pretty much the same as everyone above said - it was brilliant, I loved it!

The humour was absolutely brilliant. There were some phrases that were priceless. I love Al's cuteness and his innocence. He came up with some great phrases. The comment about Scorpius' name and about him being an 'immature landscape painter' (or something along those lines) were had me cracking up!

Faith was hillarious - I loved her character. Her bluntness was great, and Scooterbug8515 - you read her so brilliant! I thought your voice was perfect. The loud impatience and confidence haha! She was so likeable. Lou seemed really sweet.

Rose was just perfect - exactly how Rose would be. She is the perfect combination of Ron and Hermione. She had all Hermione's studiousness (huh?) and yet I loved the way she distrusted Scorpius - so Malfoy.

It was absolutely brilliant from both the author and the reader - thank you for sharing! I enjoyed it a lot and am off to listen to the second chapter!

so Chapter 2: Loved it again. Avery was amazing. His voice was the perfect combination between a drawl and indifference. It really made you see just why Leah and Grimalkin are his minions. I'd want to be one too.

YOU SANG THE SORTING HAT'S SONG!!! I was not expecting that scooter! It was brilliant!!! I was bobbing along as you sang and could just see the Sorting Hat singing it. Oh and Flitwick...what a cutie. The pitch in your voice for when he was speaking was just perfect. And I just had to laugh at James when he sent the letters. You voiced him so seriously that it was brilliant and added even more comedy to cast. Have to love Faith with the bit about the troll. Again, you did it so seriously that it just added to the comedic value!

Excellent job scooter and I can't wait to listen to chapter three XD

[Broomsticks]

"Possibly all three simultaneously."
"That'd be amazing to watch - I hope he does!"

^ That line had me cracking up so bad!

I thought this chapter was amazing! I liked the last one a lot, but I liked this even more. First of all, I found this one much funnier (though the first was great too) and secondly Scooterbug's voices were incredible! I don't understand how you didn't corpse and start laughing halfway through. The sorting hat singing was inspired, Flitwick's voice was too perfect, and the dry sarcasm of the Slytherins had me grinning. Faith was hillarious as ever - the line about the troll was genius. And I loved the impression of Hagrid.

This chapter was really great. It was so well written and well read. The voice clarity was perfect, I could hear every word and the characters were hillarious. This chapter was so funny. Faith's scathing comments about Gryffindor had me laughing. The humour is amazing, I was grinning the whole way through. I think this may have been in the first chapter but the comment about "Probably Hufflepuff," with downcast eyes was hillarious. I loved it when Katrine Cook (I think that was her name) wanted to find and evil Hufflepuff to switch with!

Yet again Scooterbug's description of the food made me hungry! Jam on peas... Nar's characterizations of everyone were spot on. McGonnagal was great.

"Al made a noise like a wounded hippopotamous" - can't spell that word, but I loved listening to it! "I fancy a biscuit" - the tone of Avery's voice as he said that... so funny!

This is so well written and creative, I love it. I think Nar and Scooterbug are a perfect team and create a hillarious and easy to listen to podcast! Thanks guys. I cannot wait for the next update!

P.S Does Avery remind anyone else of Eeyore?

Guys you make me blush, chapter 3 is in the works of being edited and tweaked right now, as to not collapsing with laughter I have a few times, doing this recording has caused me to notice things I haven't before and I die laughing much like I did upon reading at the first. I then pull myself together and keep reading to the best of my ability. I honestly read these chapters no less than 5 times each before I'm fully satisfied with the recording.

[Ronsgirl29]

I read chapter one on line, but as others have said it was even better out loud! The voices we the best (: Haha the cat named Pinnapple attacking Al? Priceless. I actually laughed out loud. I think it's the combination of the great story and Scooterbug's voice that made this podcast awesome!

"You've got a really weird face on. Do you think he's having a brain problem?" -great great line.

The characterization of everyone is just wonderful. Nar is a great author, and is amazing at humor. Haha I just read what scooterbug said about cracking up, well I don't blame you! I'm impressed that you were able to get a final one down without any laughter!

Chapter 1 =great

off to listen to the 2nd one
