Podcasts about Rowling

f you grew up glued to TV, watching ‘Chandrakanta' the series, you have only a surface understanding of what the OG Chandrakanta was all about. A sensation of its time, the spell of the Chandrakanta series was no less than that of Doyle's Sherlock or Rowling's Harry Potter series. Today, a few chapters from Chandrakanta along with an introduction to the book for the uninitiated. अगर आप ने बचपन में टीवी पर ‘चंद्रकांता' सीरियल बड़े शौक़ से देखा, तो आपको चंद्रकांता उपन्यास संग्रह के बारे में कुछ जानकारी होगी, लेकिन पूरी नहीं। अपने समय में धूम मचाने वाली चंद्रकांता सीरीज़ का जादू Doyle के Sherlock या Rowling की Harry Potter सीरीज़ से कम नहीं था। आज चंद्रकांता के कुछ अध्यायों के साथ-साथ उन लोगों के लिए एक संक्षिप्त परिचय प्रस्तुत है जो देवकीनन्दन खत्री के उपन्यास से परिचित नहीं हैं।

Late last month, John shared two theories about the Cormoran Strike series of novels, both from Katya Slonenko, a member of the Reddit r/CormoranStrike online fandom: Dementia, Jewelry, and a Nine Inch Cock: The Mystery of Shanker's ‘Old Man,' His Given Name, and Why He's Never Killed Jeff Whittaker and Katya Slonenko: Leda Strike's 'Mistress of the Salmon Salts' Pudenda Tattoo. John corresponded with Katya while preparing those posts and invited her to join him and Nick for a discussion of her ideas, of life as a Redditor, and her thoughts about Rowling's artistry and meaning. She accepted the invitation but said she wouldn't be free until July to talk. Hence the wait! As expected, though, speaking with her about her own journey to expertise in Rowling Studies, her ideas about the clues Rowling has embedded so carefully within the first eight books and especially in Hallmarked Man, and the Reddit posts of which she thinks Hogwarts Professor readers need to be aware was well worth the wait.You'll want to read those posts from June before listening to get the most out of this conversation, but, regardless of your preparation, John and Nick believe that every Serious Striker and Rowling Reader will be charmed and challenged by Katya's remarkable insights, generous spirit, and winsome personality. The conversation includes three other Reddit community posts — about Leda's ‘Carnival' dress (Arachulia), about the real name of her first husband, and about the Harry Potter tattoo Rowling-Galbraith hid on a Strike novel character's shoulder — which took the discussion above and beyond the two Katya theories in the June posts.Nick and John close the conversation by inviting her back and they hope readers here will share the questions they want us to be sure to ask her on her return visit in the comment thread below. Or just ask her yourself! As she demonstrated on the threads beneath the June posts, she is generous with her time in responding to other Strike fans.Can't wait for more Katya Slonenko? Follow her at r/CormoranStrike, on Instagram (Tattoos!), on FaceBook, and check our her older, longer posts on Medium…The Ten Plus Questions with Links1. Welcome, Katya, and thank you for joining us! The serious readers at Hogwarts Professor have been buzzing about your Shanker and Leda r/Cormoran Strike Reddit posts and we're thrilled to be able to talk with you about those ideas. First, though, tell us about your first Rowling reading experiences and how you started posting on Reddit about the Strike series.2. I'm guessing that Reddit Strike fandom may be as unfamiliar to Hogwarts Professor readers as it was to me. What is it about the Pelican_Girl and TopRequirement670 moderated posts and that international community that you love the most?3. Shanker! I confess -- I hadn't given him a thought really beyond a doppelganger twin for Strike before Fiona from Adelaide introduced me to the ideas that he had to be involved in the death of Leda Strike and that the Riccis were also somehow party to it. Ed Shardlow shared your Reddit post on the subject and my mind was blown; you made a compelling case soon after the publication of Hallmarked Man last year that Shanker is a Ricci, the illegitimate son of Nico ‘Muccy' Ricci, but to avenge Leda Strike's death he has become a Met or MI5 informer. Let's start with the four pointers that Shanker gave Strike in one conversation that he is a Ricci-by-blood and what made you think of that connection:* Shanker's statement that his father had dementia or was senile;* Shanker's report that his dad taught that jewelry was the way to a woman's heart;* Shanker's claim that his ‘old man' was said to have a “nine inch cock;” and* Shanker's saying that his begetter “‘ad kids wiv abou' ten diff'rent women.”4. I see the trigger now that you've detailed it but you dug and made four more connections that were buried in the texts of the series' other books:* Shanker's knowledge of the Ricci clan, especially Mucky,* his Strike-witnessed working with Mucky in drug deals,* “he deals cocaine and is good with a knife;” and, best of all,* the reaction Robin had to both Shanker and Luca at their first meeting, the fun-house mirror upside-down reflection of the attraction half-siblings feel for another intuitively. Robin is viscerally repulsed and afraid of the half-sibling Ricci boys.We cannot not see these connections after you point them out, but they're nigh on invisible until they're pointed out! Why do you think you saw them when we missed them -- and why do you think Rowling has taken such care to make them invisible in plain sight?5. And Shanker is an MI5 informant? Where does that come from?5.5 Let's not forget that you also make an intelligent guess, the first one I've heard, about what Shanker's given name really is, one based on the names of Nico Ricci's two children out of ten for whom we have names.* Katya shared not only her reasoning about why Shanker's name is John or an Italian variant of the Evangelist's name but also her theory about the parentage and name of the other remaining character in the series who also remains nameless: the mysterious ‘Strike' with whom Leda ran away from Cornwall! (Be sure to read the comment thread for Redditor conversation about other possible Ricci children…)6. Your thoughts about Shanker all feed into theories about Leda Strike and her mysterious death in the end, which brings us to another aspect of her life and death about which you've brought an important and unique perspective. I'm talking about the Mistress of the Salmon Salt tattoo. Did you know anything about tattoos, Katya, before writing this piece?7. As a tattoo artist yourself, what do you make of Leda's tattoo placement?8. Tattoos are meaningful, powerful reflections or revelations of the person's interior life or self-understanding (see the post about Katya's ‘Salmon Salt Tattoo' theory for much more on this). What do you think this tattoo communicates about Leda? Is it another example of Rowling's text-within-the-text or a variant of her using cryptonyms to signal important information about a character's inner life?What Tattoos Mean in Cormoran Strike and a Catalog of Examples* From Katya's 2023 ‘Mistress of the Salmon Salt Revisited:'I hear you asking - why can't Leda's be just a tattoo, without any deeper meaning to it? That's because all the other tattoos in the Strike books have meaning and provide a clue to their wearers' characters.Here are some examples:* Kelsey Pratt's One Direction tattoo is an obvious link to her being a One Direction fan. (How Leda's tattoo is different? She chose the name of the particular song, not the more generic name of the band, to be tattooed on her)* Laing's rose pierced with a dagger bluntly means violence to women. Rose is a woman in the language of symbols, while the dagger is… well, a dagger.* Polworth's St Piran's cross means he's a Cornish patriot. I'll be surprised if it also doesn't mark him as The Hanged Man (a symbolic bearer of a cross)* Portia Bayliss's trident refers to her Caribbean roots* Edie had a small black heart on the knuckles because she was the creator of ‘The Ink Black Heart' cartoon.* Zoe's tattoos are of ‘The Ink Black Heart' characters she identifies with.* Pez Pierce has The Beatles quote around his neck - Strawberry Fields was (is?) a place in Liverpool.* Union Jack, a skull, and a Nordic “Chaos” rune give a good impression of what the Turisaz character will be about (all tattooed on visible spots like head or neck - he wears them proudly!);* Same with Algiz and Uruz, sans the Union Jack and the skull.* Noli Seymour's tattoo stands for “Golden Prophet”. It denotes her connection to the Universal Humanitarian Church and her status there as the current Golden Prophet.* An ace of spades was inked onto his left cheek, and a tattooed tiger covered his throat. - Jordan Reaney's tattoos are pretty telling, too.* Not a character, but still - JK herself has a tattoo, “Solve et Coagula”, which means - “I'm a writer of an alchemical detective series!” :DSo you see, all these tattoos are chosen to reflect their owners' personal histories. That's generally a feature of Rowling's writing: if she describes a character, every little detail works for the portrait she wants to paint. There are no details put there “just because” - everything is important. How the characters dress and speak, what they eat and drink, what music they listen to, and what tattoos they have tell us something about the character.What does Leda's tattoo contribute to her portrait?Nothing!In Career of Evil, when we learn of its existence, the tattoo adds literally nothing to Leda's portrait. Why is it mentioned in the story to which it makes zero contribution, except for serving as a plot device enabling the killer's obsession?Because it will be important later.* Katya shared in her answer her theory from experience that Rowling-Galbraith had secretly marked a character as a Harry Potter fan by giving her a shoulder tattoo that Potter-heads would recognize!9. Rowling's Solve et Coagula tattoo: what do you think she is telling the world about herself? Is there a correspondence or tie between the author's tattoo and its placement and Leda's?10. Whittaker quotes a line from the Salmon Salt song by the Blue Oyster Cult — “She was the Quicklime Girl” — while testifying at his trial on murder charges; what do you think that tells us about her death? Does it suggest it was suicide or murder? Do you think Whittaker did it? 11. And another one to make eleven! You thought at one point because of the meaning of ‘Mistress of the Salmon Salt' that we had to take seriously the possibility that Leda herself was a serial killer. But you've changed your mind. Why is that? * In addition to her own thinking on this subject, Katya shared yet another Redditor theory, this one from Arachulia about The New Dress that Aunt Joan said was the real reason that Leda had left her Nancarrow home in Cornwall with the mysterious ‘Strike.'

Japanese mystery writer Keigo Higashino passed away on July 23 at the age of 68. Following the announcement on Monday, readers in China, his largest overseas market, took to social media to express their sorrow and pay tribute to his literary legacy.日本推理作家东野圭吾于7月23日离世，享年68岁。周一其离世消息公布后，中国作为他最大的海外受众市场，大批读者纷纷登上社交媒体抒发哀思，缅怀他留下的文学财富。Soon after the news was announced, Higashino's representative works — The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, Journey Under the Midnight Sun, Malice and The Devotion of Suspect X — entered the top 10 most-searched titles on WeRead, one of China's leading e-book platforms.噩耗传出不久，东野圭吾的代表作《解忧杂货店》《白夜行》《恶意》《嫌疑人X的献身》悉数登上国内主流电子书平台微信读书热搜榜单前十位。Higashino began his writing career in 1985 with the mystery novel After School, which won the prestigious Edogawa Rampo Prize. By the time of his final novel, Eternal Memory, which is scheduled to be published on Aug 5, he had authored 106 books.1985年，东野圭吾凭借推理小说《放学后》斩获极具含金量的江户川乱步奖，自此开启写作生涯。他的收官之作《永恒的记忆》定于8月5日出版，至此一生累计创作106部作品。By 2023, his works had sold more than 100 million copies in Japan and been translated into 37 languages, reaching readers in more than 41 countries and regions. International sales totaled 68 million copies, with China emerging as his largest overseas market, with sales of nearly 50 million copies.截至2023年，其作品在日本本土销量破亿，被译为37种语言，流传至41个以上国家和地区；海外总销量达6800万册，其中中国是他最大海外市场，销量接近5000万册。Chinese publisher Thinkingdom Media, known for its mystery titles, has published 52 of Higashino's books, with combined sales exceeding 23 million copies. The simplified Chinese edition of The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, released in 2014, sold more than 10 million copies within four years, while Journey Under the Midnight Sun sold more than nine million copies.国内专注悬疑推理书籍出版的新经典文化，一共引进出版了52部东野圭吾作品，合计销量超2300万册。2014年推出简体中文版《解忧杂货店》，四年销量突破1000万册；《白夜行》简体版销量也逾900万册。In 2017, Higashino earned 22 million yuan ($3.1 million) in royalties from China, surpassing British author J. K. Rowling, creator of the Harry Potter series, to become the country's highest-earning foreign writer that year. He topped the list of the richest foreign authors in China for three consecutive years from 2017 to 2019, with royalties of 42 million yuan in 2018 and 30 million yuan in 2019.2017年，东野圭吾在中国斩获2200万元人民币版税（折合310万美元），超越《哈利·波特》作者英国作家J.K.罗琳，登顶当年中国版税收入最高外籍作家。2017至2019年，他连续三年蝉联中国外籍作家版税榜榜首：2018年版税4200万元，2019年为3000万元。Many Chinese readers shared memories of discovering his works and the impact they had on their lives.无数中国读者追忆初次读到他作品的过往，诉说这些文字给自己人生带来的深远影响。A reader using the screen name Lakuda recalled first reading Higashino's novels in junior middle school.一位网名为拉库达的读者回忆，自己初中时第一次接触东野圭吾的小说。"You have put down your pen, but the gentleness, clarity and empathy you left to millions of readers will remain in the world forever. Thank you for accompanying me throughout my youth," the reader wrote.读者留言写道：“您已然搁笔，但您留给万千读者的温柔、通透与共情力，会永远留存世间。谢谢你，陪伴我走过整个青春。”Chinese mystery writer Zijin Chen reposted the news on Sina Weibo, saying The Devotion of Suspect X introduced him to detective fiction.国内推理作家紫金陈在新浪微博转发了离世消息，表示正是《嫌疑人X的献身》，让他踏入了侦探小说的世界。"I read it in 2012. It was my first encounter with detective fiction, and it inspired me to start writing my own novels. I'm shocked by the sudden news and feel a deep sense of loss," he wrote.他撰文：“我2012年读完这本书，这是我人生第一部侦探小说，也促使我提笔开始创作。骤然听闻噩耗，万分错愕，满心怅然。”Another Weibo user, AnniweianVivian, commented under a China Central Television news post to highlight how Higashino's novels use intricate suspense as a framework while exploring the complexity of human nature through love, hatred, choices and obsession.微博网友AnniweianVivian在央视相关新闻下留言点评：东野圭吾的小说以精巧缜密的悬念为骨架，借爱恨、抉择与执念，深挖人性的复杂百态。"I deeply admire Higashino's works, including Mysterious Night and The Miracles of the Namiya General Store, and will always treasure them," the user wrote.该网友写道：“我由衷喜爱他的《幻夜》《解忧杂货店》等作品，会永远珍藏这份阅读回忆。”Another reader, Wangdaotie-Barry, thanked Higashino for creating "such profound emotional worlds".另有网友王道铁·巴里致谢东野圭吾，感念他构筑出一个个意蕴深厚的情感世界。"Journey Under the Midnight Sun drew me into the world of mystery fiction.

Como acabamos de escuchar, Eva Soriano soñaba con ser cantante. Se presentó a programas como Operación Triunfo o Factor X, pero no consiguió entrar. Sin embargo, si lo pensamos bien, esos fracasos cambiaron por completo su vida. Porque gracias a ellos terminó dedicándose a la comedia y se convirtió en una de las humoristas más conocidas de España. Y eso me ha llevado a pensar en un tema que me parece muy interesante: los fracasos que, con el tiempo, terminan convirtiéndose en éxitos. Muchas veces vivimos una decepción como si fuera el final de una historia, cuando en realidad solo es el final de un capítulo. El problema es que normalmente solo entendemos el sentido de algunas cosas cuando miramos hacia atrás. Por eso, durante los próximos minutos vamos a hablar de varios personajes famosos que fracasaron antes de triunfar y, al mismo tiempo, vamos a aprender algunas expresiones españolas relacionadas con los errores, las dificultades y el éxito. La primera expresión que quiero enseñarte es "no hay mal que por bien no venga". Es un refrán muy popular en español. Significa que una situación negativa puede acabar produciendo consecuencias positivas. Imagina que pierdes un trabajo. En ese momento estás triste y preocupado. Pero unos meses después encuentras otro empleo mejor pagado, con mejores horarios y más oportunidades. Entonces alguien podría decirte: "Bueno, no hay mal que por bien no venga". Y eso es exactamente lo que parece haber sucedido en el caso de Eva Soriano. No la eligieron como cantante, pero terminó encontrando una profesión en la que realmente destacó. Otra expresión muy utilizada es "cerrarse una puerta y abrirse una ventana". Se emplea cuando una oportunidad desaparece, pero aparece otra nueva de manera inesperada. Por ejemplo, una persona puede suspender el examen para entrar en una universidad concreta. En ese momento siente que ha perdido una gran oportunidad. Sin embargo, acaba estudiando en otro lugar donde conoce a personas que cambian su vida para siempre. Se cerró una puerta, pero se abrió una ventana. Y aquí viene algo interesante. Muchas personas exitosas tienen historias parecidas. Pensemos en J. K. Rowling, la creadora de Harry Potter. Antes de publicar sus libros recibió numerosas negativas de editoriales. Varias empresas rechazaron su manuscrito porque pensaban que no tendría éxito. Imagínate qué habría pasado si hubiera decidido abandonar después de esos rechazos. Esto nos lleva a otra expresión muy útil: "tirar la toalla". Seguramente conoces su origen. Proviene del boxeo. Cuando un entrenador considera que su boxeador no puede continuar, tira una toalla al ring para indicar que abandona el combate. Hoy utilizamos esta expresión para hablar de cualquier situación. Por ejemplo: "Después de suspender tres veces el examen, estuvo a punto de tirar la toalla." O: "Aprender español es difícil, pero no voy a tirar la toalla." En la historia de Eva Soriano vemos justamente lo contrario. Probó varios caminos, recibió rechazos, pero siguió adelante. Y aquí encontramos otra enseñanza importante. A veces confundimos el fracaso con la falta de talento. Son cosas muy diferentes. Fracasar una vez no significa que no seas capaz. Fracasar diez veces tampoco. Simplemente significa que todavía no has encontrado la forma adecuada, el momento adecuado o incluso el camino adecuado. Piensa, por ejemplo, en el actor Harrison Ford. Antes de convertirse en una estrella internacional trabajó como carpintero. Durante años tuvo dificultades para consolidar su carrera como actor. Sin embargo, siguió insistiendo hasta conseguir papeles que cambiaron su vida para siempre. Y esto conecta con otra expresión que me gusta mucho: "dar en el clavo". Dar en el clavo significa acertar plenamente. Por ejemplo: "Probé varios métodos para memorizar vocabulario y, finalmente, di en el clavo." O: "Eva probó la música, la interpretación y otros ámbitos hasta que dio en el clavo con la comedia." La imagen es muy gráfica. Si quieres clavar un clavo en una pared, debes golpear exactamente en el lugar correcto. Y muchas veces la vida consiste precisamente en eso: probar distintas opciones hasta encontrar la adecuada. Hay otra expresión relacionada con este tema que escucharás con frecuencia. "Equivocarse forma parte del proceso." No es un refrán tradicional, pero refleja una idea muy presente en el desarrollo personal. Cuando un niño aprende a caminar, se cae cientos de veces. Nadie interpreta esas caídas como un fracaso definitivo. Forman parte del aprendizaje. Sin embargo, cuando somos adultos tendemos a exigirnos resultados perfectos desde el primer intento. Con los idiomas ocurre constantemente. Muchos estudiantes sienten vergüenza cuando cometen errores hablando español. Pero la realidad es que equivocarse es una señal de progreso. Significa que estás intentándolo. De hecho, existe una expresión muy bonita en español: "a base de". Por ejemplo: "He mejorado mi pronunciación a base de escuchar podcasts." "He aprendido mucho vocabulario a base de leer noticias." La expresión significa que conseguimos algo gracias a la repetición, el esfuerzo y la constancia. Y si observamos cualquier historia de éxito, veremos exactamente eso. No talento mágico. No suerte infinita. Constancia. Volvamos un momento a Eva Soriano. Cuando ella habla de sus intentos en el mundo de la música, lo hace con humor. Se ríe de sí misma. No parece guardar resentimiento por aquellas experiencias. Y creo que esa actitud también es importante. Porque nos lleva a otra expresión muy española: "tomarse algo con filosofía". Cuando una persona se toma algo con filosofía, acepta las dificultades con calma y perspectiva. Por ejemplo: "Perdí el tren, pero me lo tomé con filosofía." "Suspendí el examen, pero me lo tomé con filosofía y empecé a estudiar de nuevo." Eva podría haberse quedado pensando durante años en lo injusto que fue no triunfar como cantante. En cambio, decidió aprovechar las oportunidades que aparecieron después. Y ahora quiero plantearte una pregunta. ¿Qué pasaría si algunas de las cosas que ahora consideras fracasos fueran, en realidad, cambios de dirección? Porque esa es la gran paradoja. Muchas veces no conseguimos exactamente lo que queremos. Pero conseguimos algo mejor. Aunque tardemos años en darnos cuenta. Por eso me gusta tanto la historia de Eva Soriano. Porque nos recuerda que el éxito no siempre consiste en alcanzar el objetivo original. A veces consiste en descubrir otro objetivo que ni siquiera sabíamos que existía. Y quizá esa sea la lección principal de este episodio. No hay mal que por bien no venga. No tires la toalla demasiado pronto. Y si una puerta se cierra, presta atención. Porque tal vez se esté abriendo una ventana. Espero que hayas disfrutado de este episodio extra y que, además de aprender algunas expresiones nuevas, te haya dado algo en lo que pensar.

Pendant ces dernières semaines, Anne Favier Barthéléry et moi-même avons reçu plusieurs messages. Des personnes qui nous disaient :"Je ne sais plus quoi faire de tout ça.""Je croyais être la seule.""J'ai encore envie d'aimer Harry Potter mais quelque chose a changé."Ça a clairement confirmé notre intuition : le sujet n'est pas seulement Harry Potter.Dans cet épisode, je vous raconte pourquoi nous avons créé "Moldu·es et fier·es de l'être".Je vous explique ce que vous allez vivre pendant ces six mois, pourquoi le programme dure aussi longtemps, à qui il s'adresse (et à qui il ne s'adresse pas), pourquoi nous avons choisi un prix libre et surtout ce que nous espérons construire avec ce groupe.Si tu hésites à rejoindre l'aventure, cet épisode est fait pour toi. Je suis à ta disposition pour répondre à tes questions si tu en as encore. Tu peux me contacter à hello@elsacouteiller.com

Başarısızlıktan mı korkuyorsunuz? Yoksa aslında başarısız olmaktan korktuğunuz için hiç başlamıyor musunuz? Birçok insan hedeflerine ulaşamaz çünkü yeterince yetenekli değildir diye değil, başarısızlık ihtimali nedeniyle harekete geçemez. Yeni bir işe başlamaz. Yeni bir beceri öğrenmez. Bir girişim kurmaz. Hayallerinin peşinden gitmez. Bu videoda başarısızlık korkusunun gerçek nedenlerini, hayatımızı nasıl sınırladığını ve onu nasıl güçlü bir öğrenme aracına dönüştürebileceğimizi konuşuyoruz. Bu bölümde; ✅ Başarısızlık korkusu neden oluşur? ✅ Toplum bize başarısızlık hakkında ne öğretti? ✅ Başarısızlık gerçekten kötü bir şey midir? ✅ Başarılı insanlar başarısızlığa nasıl bakar? ✅ J.K. Rowling, Steve Jobs ve Thomas Edison'un başarısızlık hikâyeleri ✅ Başarısızlık sonrası SWOT analizi nasıl yapılır? ✅ Hatalardan öğrenme becerisi nasıl geliştirilir? ✅ Başarısızlığı gelişim fırsatına dönüştürmenin yolları gibi önemli konuları ele alıyoruz. Unutmayın: Başarısızlık bir kimlik değildir. Başarısızlık bir sonuçtur. Ve sonuçlar değiştirilebilir. Hayatta en çok gelişen insanlar, hiç hata yapmayanlar değil; yaptıkları hatalardan ders çıkarmayı öğrenenlerdir. Bu videoyu izledikten sonra yorumlarda şu soruya cevap vermeyi unutmayın: “Sizi en çok geliştiren başarısızlığınız hangisiydi?”

Après avoir lancé un appel à témoignages pour le documentaire audio Après Poudlard, je pensais simplement répondre aux commentaires sous mon Reel Instagram.En réalité, j'étais déjà en train de mener l'enquête.Dans ce deuxième épisode des Coulisses d'Après Poudlard, je partage les premières grandes découvertes de cette immersion : pourquoi Harry Potter est avant tout un refuge pour beaucoup de personnes, ce que les témoignages racontent du deuil, de la nostalgie, de la transmission, mais aussi comment cette expérience est en train de transformer mon regard de documentariste.Je raconte aussi les choix éditoriaux auxquels je suis confrontée : quels commentaires garder ? Lesquels supprimer ? Pourquoi je cherche moins des opinions que des trajectoires humaines.Un épisode sur la création documentaire, l'accompagnement, la neutralité, les récits de vie… et les coulisses d'une enquête qui dépasse déjà largement Harry Potter.=> Projet "Moldu·es et fièr·es de l'être"=> Enquête "Après Poudlard"--

La génération Harry Potter et le deuil de l'univers HP.Il y a quelques jours, j'ai publié un Reel sur Instagram.L'idée était simple : lancer un appel à témoignages pour un futur documentaire audio consacré à notre génération Harry Potter et le deuil de l'univers.Je pensais recevoir quelques messages.J'en ai reçu des centaines.Depuis, je lis des commentaires, j'écoute des témoignages, je réponds à des messages privés et je construis, petit à petit, ce qui est en train de devenir le documentaire "Après Poudlard" (titre provisoire).Dans ce premier épisode des Coulisses d'Après Poudlard, je t'emmène dans les backstages du projet.Je raconte :- pourquoi ce documentaire est né ;- comment Moldu·es et fièr·es de l'être est né avec Anne Favier Barthéléry ;- ce qui m'a poussée à créer un documentaire audio ;- ce que les premiers témoignages sont déjà en train de m'apprendre ;et pourquoi je crois que cette histoire dépasse largement Harry Potter.Parce qu'au fond, ce documentaire ne parle peut-être pas seulement d'une saga.Il parle de nos refuges.De nos contradictions.De nos deuils.Des morceaux de nous-mêmes que nous avons parfois laissés dans les histoires qui nous ont construits.Bienvenue dans les coulisses d'Après Poudlard, un journal de bord audio. Une série d'épisodes où je documente, en temps réel, la création du documentaire Après Poudlard.=> Projet "Moldu·es et fièr·es de l'être"=> Enquête "Après Poudlard"

(Credit: Telegraph article, June 2017, J.K. Rowling at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation party in 2007, wearing a floral diamond necklace and matching earrings, cf., Christmas Pig)Solomon Schmidt, author of A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J. K. Rowling (Skyhorse, June 2026), sat down with us again to discuss what challenges he faced in collating and synthesizing almost thirty years of interviews for his biography. He also shares the three questions he'd ask The Presence if she'd consent to an interview, questions that he thinks she might answer; Solomon turned the tables on his interviewers who had to improv questions they'd ask without being told their interview with Rowling was over.The necessary links to the book's Amazon page and to the two Hogwarts Professor reviews are here:* A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J.K. Rowling (Amazon.com)* A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J.K. Rowling (Amazon.co.uk) Uk Edition* A Pen to Change the World – the Biography of J. K. Rowling by Solomon Schmidt (Nick Jeffery)* Book Review: A Pen to Change the World - The Life of J. K. Rowling (John Granger)Five Questions for Solomon Schmidt, Author of A Pen to Change the World:5. I said you didn't get to interview Rowling, which is true, but you did have access to all her interviews that she has done 1997 to the present as well as the interviews and articles with her family, friends, fans, and business associates. How did you find, assemble, and sift through those interviews?6. If you had been allowed inside the gates of Fortress Rowling and you were only allowed three questions, what would you ask her? (This is a game John and I regularly play, and usually John's questions would get him thrown out of an interview!)7. What discoveries that you made in your research were the most exciting to you?8. Rowling has said repeatedly through the years that the critical negative events of her life that reshaped her thinking and her work were the death of her mother and the abusive relationship she had with her first husband. Agree or disagree? What do you think were the most important positive turns in her life?9. Very few people I meet don't have a fixed opinion about Rowling; the world seems to love and hate her in equal measure with little grey area between the two: adoring fans and political allies on the one hand and those that despise her work, her political efforts, or both. Where do you fall in that divide and how hard was it to represent the other point of view in your biography?10. I assume you've started researching your next biography though you'll be neck deep in this book's launch for a few months. What will you be working on next? This is a public episode.

Marques Ogden: From Rock Bottom to the Bison Mindset, Building Authentic Leadership and Purpose In this episode, Julie Riga welcomes Marques Ogden, former NFL offensive lineman, keynote speaker, author, business coach, and host of the Get Authentic with Marques Ogden Podcast. Marques opens up about his path from professional football to a rock bottom moment that reshaped his entire life and purpose, and what it took to rebuild from nothing. What we cover in this episode: Marques' six year career in the National Football League, and the difficult transition that followed, including a six month struggle with addiction, alcohol, nightlife, and gambling Building a multimillion dollar construction company that reached multiple eight figures a year, and how ego, greed, and the personality ethics led to its total collapse Moving to Raleigh, North Carolina with four hundred dollars to his name, being fired from two jobs in the same week, and taking a job as a custodian earning eight dollars and twenty five cents an hour The rock bottom moment on a custodial shift that became his wake up call and the beginning of phase two of his life The J.K. Rowling quote that shaped his outlook, rock bottom is the moment that rebuilt my life, and the parallel of Rowling writing Harry Potter while living in her car Marques' journey into professional speaking, starting in September 2013 and going two and a half years before his first paid engagement in April 2016 Meeting Mel Robbins in 2018, getting coached, learning the business, and going on to work with more than ninety Fortune 500 companies Becoming a six time best selling author, with a seventh book, Built From The Storm, The Bison Operating System, currently in progress The Bison mindset, a leadership framework built around being bold, having integrity, practicing self awareness, taking ownership, and never quitting Why bison move as a herd through a storm, protecting the weaker, older, and younger members while the strong and bold face the brunt of the storm, and what that teaches us about leadership and community The idea of purpose driven leadership, and why this phase of Marques' life feels more meaningful to him than football or business ever did Julie's own story of rock bottom during her divorce, and the parallels between her journey and Marques' story of resilience The importance of authenticity and vulnerability in leadership, and why judgment should never stop anyone from telling their real story A favorite quote from Franklin Delano Roosevelt, smooth seas never made skilled sailors, and what it means to grow through hardship rather than ease This conversation is filled with ingredients for success, insight on resilience, and encouragement for anyone facing their own storm right now.

Hvor er Danmarks J.K. Rowling eller John Cleese? Det spørger Christopher Arzrouni, der var folketingskandidat for Liberal Alliance og debattør.

For the third installment of our TERF Island series, we use the case of JK Rowling herself to trace TERFism's "march through the institutions" in the UK and beyond. It's an episode about TERF self-staging as singular and "deeply personal" apostasy from "gender orthodoxy", which belies an increasingly sophisticated, well-connected and well-funded network pushing anti-trans talking points in public.This is a PREVIEW, if you'd like to hear the remainder of the episode (and the previous episodes in the series), please head over to patreon.com/inbedwiththeright to become a supporter!PLEASE NOTE: we recorded this episode before the latest re-emergence of Rowling as TERFism final boss with the release and subsequent suppression of the Amnesty International report on anti-trans hate groups. But that imbroglio certainly made us even happier we're doing this series behind the paywall.

This Gay Week: A Global Crackdown on LGBTQ Rights? From Indonesia to Senegal, Bangladesh to Australia, anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric are making headlines around the world. Is the global fight for equality entering a dangerous new chapter? This week on This Gay Week, Karel and Scott Jacobsen (joining us from Ukraine) break down the biggest LGBTQ stories from across the globe:

(Credit: Neil Wilder, Edinburgh 1999, now in National Portrait Galley)Solomon Schmidt, author of A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J. K. Rowling (Skyhorse, June 2026), sat down with us this week to discuss what moved him to write a Rowling biography at the height of her radioactivity as a supposed “transphobe” and the obstacles that Rowling, Inc., puts in the way of unauthorized biographers. He also shares the kindness and circumspection of the people who did agree to speak with him, to include Neil Blair and Jorge Arantes.The necessary links to the book's Amazon page and to the two Hogwarts Professor reviews are here:* A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J.K. Rowling (Amazon.com)* A Pen to Change the World: The Life of J.K. Rowling (Amazon.co.uk) Uk Edition* A Pen to Change the World – the Biography of J. K. Rowling by Solomon Schmidt (Nick Jeffery)* Book Review: A Pen to Change the World - The Life of J. K. Rowling (John Granger)The second part of our conversation with Mr Schmidt will be posted next week. The first five questions he answered were:1. What moved you to start this project? You've already written a biography of Alan Dershowitz and many more in the History Bites series; what made J. K. Rowling an inviting subject to you? What made it different from the other biographies you've written?2. You wrote in the acknowledgements at book's end that you didn't write the biography as a work of "literary criticism," but you do discuss everything she has written or collaborated on, Philosopher's Stone to Ink Black Heart. What would you have included in those discussions if you had been writing "literary criticism"?3. This is an "Unauthorized" biography which means you were researching and writing outside the gates of Team Rowling, simultaneously shut off from Rowling and her circle of friends and, one would hope, outside her ability to shape the narrative you put together of her life. You did, though, get some push-back from Rowling, Inc.'s legal arm at one point; what was that about?4. You weren't able to interview Rowling, her sister, her husband, her father, her daughter Jessica, Sean Harris, the Sisters of Swing, Michael the boyfriend, Lucy Shepherd, Pearl Biddle, or 'Starsky and Cox.' You did find and scored interviews with Jorge Arantes, Barry Cunningham (the publisher who signed J. K. Rowling to Bloomsbury), Steve Eddy (one of Rowling's English teachers), Neil Blair (sort of!), and her American cousins, Ben and Bryony Rowling. How did you find these sources and what was it like sitting down to speak with them?5. I said you didn't get to interview Rowling, which is true, but you did have access to all her interviews that she has done 1997 to the present as well as the interviews and articles with her family, friends, fans, and business associates. How did you find, assemble, and sift through those interviews?Please share your thoughts below as well as follow-up questions you wish we had asked!

Is your daughter struggling to tie her shoes? Did your son strike out to end the game? Did they fail the big driver's test? Kids are going to fail throughout life. What will you say in the moment? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss why failure is an essential part of childhood. They explore why dads naturally want to protect their kids from failure, how failure builds resilience and wisdom, and offer practical ways to help children grow stronger through disappointment instead of rescuing them from it.Why This MattersEvery child will fail. The question isn't whether it will happen—it's what happens after it does. Learning from failure is the first step to embracing it. Key TakeawaysNormalize failure. Failure isn't a reflection of your child's worth—it's evidence they're learning, growing, and taking healthy risks.Encourage healthy risk-taking. Kids develop resilience when dads create safe environments where trying, failing, and trying again are celebrated.Respond better than you rescue. The goal isn't to remove failure but to walk with your child through it, affirming their value while helping them reflect and grow.Practical Tips for Dads1.    Separate identity from performance. Remind your kids they're loved regardless of success or failure.2.    Praise effort, courage, and character. Celebrate the willingness to try more than the outcome itself.3.    Process failure together. Listen first, acknowledge emotions, ask thoughtful questions, and help your child discover what they learned before moving on.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] How Do We Help Our Kids Learn From and Embrace Failure?[00:46] Striking Out and Running and Wrong Way[04:04] What J.K.

L'émission 28 minutes du 02/07/2026 "No kids" : chronique d'une société qui n'aime plus ses enfants Romancière, traductrice, notamment de l'œuvre de J.K. Rowling, et enseignante-chercheuse à l'université d'York, Clémentine Beauvais publie, “L'enfance, qu'est-ce que ça change ?”. Elle dénonce la montée de “l'infantophobie”, qu'elle décrit à travers la multiplication des espaces “no kids” dans l'espace public, qui traduirait une mise à l'écart des enfants. L'auteure défend l'idée que l'enfant doit être reconnu dès sa naissance comme une personne à part entière et plaide pour un environnement pensé et adapté aux besoins des enfants, dans l'esprit des principes développés par Maria Montessori. Séismes au Venezuela : la faillite opérationnelle d'un régime aux abois ? Une semaine après le double séisme qui a frappé le Venezuela le 24 juin, le bilan officiel s'élève à 2 395 morts et plus de 11 000  blessés. L'ONU estime à 50 000 le nombre de personnes disparues. Dans les zones les plus touchées, la nourriture manque et les risques d'épidémies augmentent. Les critiques contre les autorités se multiplient : les habitants dénoncent des secours tardifs et un accès limité aux zones sinistrées pour les bénévoles. D'après les habitants, l'armée restreindrait l'accès à certains secteurs, compliquant le travail des bénévoles et des ONG. Le pays n'avait pas connu de telle catastrophe depuis 1900. On en débat avec Yoletty Bracho, enseignante-chercheuse en science politique à l'Université d'Avignon, Saraï Suarez, journaliste franco-vénézuélienne et Jean-Jacques Kourliandsky, directeur de l'Observatoire de l'Amérique latine et des Caraïbes à la Fondation Jean-Jaurès. Depuis le 1er juillet, le diocèse de Paris applique un système de réservation qui prive, en grande partie, l'accès de Notre-Dame aux guides-conférenciers. L'occasion pour Xavier Mauduit de nous emmener sur les quais de Seine. Marie Bonnisseau revient sur le bras de fer entre le Vatican et la Fraternité Saint-Pie-X, après la consécration de quatre évêques en Suisse contre l'avis du pape. 28 minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Élisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05.

Throughout the Draculae miniseries, about the Swedish and Icelandic translations of Dracula that played fast and loose with the original text, I've been wondering a couple of questions: why are cover versions of songs and remakes of films so normal and acceptable, whereas cover versions in book form cause such a stir? And do these Scandinavian Draculae count as fan fiction? And if not, why not? Fansplaining.com's Elizabeth Minkel explains what fan fiction can mean.Visit theallusionist.org/transformation for more information plus a transcript of the episode. And though this is the fourth and last part of the Draculae miniseries, it is more inspired by than directly connected to the other episodes, so you don't have to listen to them beforehand. But do listen to them, they're very fun and intriguing!Content note: this episode contains some references to (but not descriptions of) sexual content and sex slavery. There is also mention of J.K.

En octobre 2020, Jean-Alphonse Richard consacrait un épisode de "Confidentiel" à J. K. Rowling. Elle n'a jamais inventé Harry Potter. Elle le connaissait depuis l'enfance, habitait la maison d'à côté et se perdait dans la même forêt. Comme le petit sorcier, elle était meurtrie par son passé. Comme lui, elle était une survivante condamnée à avoir peur du bruit, de la lumière et de la foule. Hébergé par Audiomeans.

‘Fiona F' is a Hogwarts Professor subscriber in Adelaide, Australia, the truly down under capitol of the South Pacific island-continent. She works as an environmental scientist on the days she isn't combing through the Cormoran Strike novels of Rowling-Galbraith in search of answers to the over-arching mysteries of that series.The Hogwarts Professor Talking Heads duo invited her to a discussion of her potential solutions to two of the unresolved questions that have to be answered before the epilogue of Strike 10, namely, ‘What really happened in the ruled-a-suicide deaths of Leda Strike and Charlotte Campbell?' Fiona seems to have broken both cases using information dropped as asides in Hallmarked Man.The Ten Questions that guided their conversation are below with the promised links and Fiona's time-lines and comments on the Moderator Backchannel they discuss.In brief, about Leda's death Fiona notes that we learn in Strike 8 that Shanker is familiar with ‘Barnaby's, the preferred body-disposal business used by the London under-world, to include the Ricci Crime Syndicate. She connects that dot with (1) Strike's memory of making a drug delivery for Shanker to the Ricci Godfather way back in the day when the two shared a flat and (2) Shanker's near panicked warnings to Strike not to investigate the Riccis in Troubled Blood. Fiona's theory? Means, motive, and opportunity point to the possibility that Leda's heroin overdose was a Ricci ‘message' to Shanker that he had better not cross them in a drug deal. Readers have missed this possibility because Shanker loved Leda like a mother, which love unfortunately made her a perfect target for the gangsters to ‘get at' Strike's adopted brother.And Charlotte's death? Fiona, unlike much of Strike fandom, accepts the Jeffery hypothesis (see here, here, and here) that Ms Campbell-Ross did not kill herself but was murdered in a staged-suicide (a la Leda Strike, Lula Landry, Jasper Chiswell, and Kevin Pirbright). After a close reading of Hallmarked Man, Fiona realized that Dino Longcaster, whom Tara Campbell married after she had divorced Charlotte's supposed biological father, may have been, based on his fathering Rupert Fleetwood in an adulterous relationship, Milady Bezerko's real sperm-donor daddy (and at home molester). Which possible parentage would have made Charlotte and Valentine Longcaster half-siblings. Fiona theorizes from there that the baby Charlotte says was Strike's was Valentine's (a la Rupert and Decima's Lion), that Jago Ross' children might have been Valentine's, or both. Valentine, Jago, and Tara shoot to the top of the ‘Charlotte Murder' suspect list, with Sasha, Rupert, and Amelia as Tara's agents all possibilities.Fiona, Nick, and John discuss the various Rowling Golden Threads in play with each of these theories — incest, pregnancy traps, staged suicides — and how both Fiona's Ricci-Shanker and Secret Charlotte theories are textbook illustrations of Rowling misdirection while planting clues in plain sight.John and Nick are grateful to Fiona for getting up as early as she did to chat with them and for sharing her theories here with the Serious Strikers at Hogwarts Professor. Hats doffed with a bow from the waist in admiration and gratitude! The Ten Questions With Links and Notes1. Fiona, you, Nick, and I have been chatting on the moderator back channels since May and we've shared your Daddy Dino theory in which Charlotte was another Longcaster child conceived in adultery and Valentine was her incestuous lover and abuser. Nick and I discussed that idea on our ‘Incest Golden Thread' program. But none of us know who you are really and I just learned you're living in Central Australia. Tell us about Fiona, a Welsh name?, and what brought you to Serious Striker land?12 April Fiona Comments on Moderator Backchannel:In response to a post by Cheryl Rose Orrocks on 17 Feb 2026, my current theory is that Dino Longcaster is Charlotte's father and that his son, Valentine Longcaster, will be revealed as her abuser and the possible biological father of Charlotte's children. Hence the 2nd incest storyline will also involve the Langcaster family. This could be why Charlotte's mother, Tara, despised Charlotte so much.If Jago Ross is somehow linked to the matter of the DNA test involving Bijou and Strike, it may be because he had Charlotte's birth children DNA tested to confirm parentage. Maybe Jago discovers he is not the biological father and assumes Strike is, hence the reason he wants to obtain Strike's DNA results.2. Nick was telling me the other day that he has been re-reading the series and it's changed his thinking about how he would rank the books, especially in light of Hallmarked Man. I hope he'll clarify what he means by that – and that you'll share, Fiona, where Strike 8 is on your list of best to worst Strike novels and if or how it changed your thoughts about the first seven.3. By the time this conversation is posted, I hope to have put up a short summary of your Birthday Party Theory, Fiona, or else it will be the text beneath this conversation. In brief, you lay out the calendar dates after Sacha Legard's birthday party with respect to Charlotte's death. Can you tell us why you thought that party had something to do with her death and how you went about setting up the time-line?May 6 Fiona note on Moderator Backchannels:In this video, your comments regarding Rupert Fleetwood and Charlotte's murder (1:00:17) got me thinking. If Charlotte was murdered, her murderer was likely present at Sacha Legard's birthday party.After checking out several sources (books (physical copies) 7 TRG and 8 THM, Strike Fans, the Farting Faculty Lounge and Hogwarts Professor) I put together a rough timeline to assemble my thoughts.* Saturday 21 May 2016: Sacha Legard's birthday. Valentine and Cosima Longcaster are at the party. Rupert Fleetwood gatecrashes and he and Valentine have some kind of confrontation (refer THM Chapter. 36, pages 291 and 292). I presume Charlotte and Amelia would have been at the party as they are Sacha's half siblings, however I have no evidence to support this.* Friday, 27 May 2016: Strike listens to Charlotte's voicemail messages. (TRG, Chapter 55, pages 421 and 423).* Tuesday, 14 June 2016: Charlotte is arrested for assault on Landon Dormer (TRG, Chapter 59).* Thursday, 23 June 2016: Strike deletes three voicemails from Charlotte before heading up to his attic flat (Chapter 61). Charlotte Campbell dies (commits suicide?).* Friday, 23 December 2016: When Strike goes to the National Theatre to interview Sacha Legard (THM, Chapter 36, pg. 289). Sacha says he ‘was shooting a film in Mexico (Conquest?) when all this business with him [Rupert] and Dessie happened.'I'm unsure when Sacha was in Mexico (before and/or after his birthday party on 21 May 2016). If he was filming in Mexico after his birthday then he may not have been in London when Charlotte died. If filming in Mexico finished before his birthday, he would have to be on the short-list of murder suspects.As Charlotte loved tension, conflict, and rows, she may have overheard the confrontation between Rupert and Valentine. Presuming the confrontation was about DNA testing and Dino Longcaster being Rupert's biological father, maybe the DNA results also contained information about other unknown (and related) people with a similar DNA profile to Rupert and the Longcaster's (Dino, Valentine, Decima and Cosima) and Rupert threatened Valentine with this information. Valentine is scared of his father, Dino, and wouldn't want the DNA paternity information to reach Dino.If Valentine Longcaster (as possible Charlotte abuser), finds out he is the biological father of Charlotte's children and realises that Charlotte has found this out, that could be a strong motive for murder, particularly as he was appalled by the incest between Decima and Rupert.It will be interesting to see if Rupert makes an appearance in Book 9.* See Louise Freeman Davis' Strike and Ellacott Timelines at The Farting Sofa Faculty Lounge.4. Your conclusion is a mind-blower as I've written in my notes you to invite you to wake up early down under to talk about it. To skip to the Big Reveal, you think, if Charlotte was at the birthday party or learned from Cosima or Valentine about the Dino-Decima-Rupert genetic conjunction, that Valentine Longcaster has to jump to the top of the Campbell-Ross ‘assisted suicide' list. How so?5. This is fascinating theorizing, Fiona, and it highlights what Nick has said that the complexity and crowdedness of Hallmarked is a marker of Rowling crafting a “target rich” environment for Books 9 and 10 possibilities. You wrote on 4 June that what if, instead of being molested at home by Trevik, her supposed biological father, she had been abused by a schoolteacher. Why did you think that was possible and how would it color your thinking about her life and death?4 June Fiona CommentHave you considered the possibility that Leda Strike (Peggy Nancarrow) was molested by a school teacher, rather than a victim of incest. Both scenarios are obviously awful. I have been pondering this because Leda/Peggy packed up and moved so often and Cormoran and Lucy never stayed in the same school for very long.6. On 10 June you sent your magnum opus, the Leda Strike life timeline and a ‘Means Before Motive' examination of her death. Again, why bother and how did you track down the dates?7. What did the data reveal about Leda that you hadn't seen before?10 June Fiona Timeline for Leda StrikeI have been systematically going back through the Strike books using the JKR finder in an attempt to work out who killed Leda Strike.I am relying on Rowling playing fair and that the answer to the question of Leda's death and the evidence to support this has already been given to us in the books.My attempt at Leda's timeline and my murder theory are attached. There are gaps in Leda's timeline and changing dates in the books. I mostly focused on Leda's childhood, then the last few years of her life in London. I'd be interested in your thoughts.Constructing Leda's timeline was also about reaching a conclusion on whether Cormoran Strike was the product of incest. At this stage, I don't think he was. The timeline doesn't support the incest theory and I suspect Leda was away from St Mawes from when she married at 18 and left Strike Snr two weeks later until she returned to give birth to Cormoran at Truro hospital at age 20. Too many parties and gigs to go to!I'd be interested in your thoughts.Leda Strike TimelinePeggy (Leda) born in 1954.Ted and Peggy (Leda) mother died when Ted 16 and Peggy (Leda) 2.Peggy (Leda) forcible separation from Ted at the age of two.Peggy (Leda) lived with her paternal grandmother. Ted stayed with their father, Trevik.Ted leaves home for National Service (age 18?)Ted returns from National Service after Trevik dies. (age 25?) Married Joan. Peggy (Leda) (age 11?)Peggy (Leda), at age 18, escapes her paternal grandmother, and runs away with a youth who'd come to Truro with the fair. Changed her name to Leda. Ted (32 years old).Leda married youth from the fair when she was 18 years old. She had run out on her husband after only two weeks and that her sole motivation in marrying Strike Snr. (who, according to Aunt Joan, had arrived in St. Mawes with the fair) had been a new dress, and a change of name.“Leda had never stayed still long enough to present a stable target. Often her children remained in a school for mere weeks before a new enthusiasm seized her, and off they went, to a new city, a new squat, crashing on her friends' floors or, occasionally, renting. The only people who knew what was going on, and who might have contacted social services, were Ted and Joan.”1990? Leda brought Shanker (age 16), who had been stabbed, home to their squat.1991 Leda Strike met Jeff Whittaker.1992 Nick Herbert and Strike had a joint eighteenth birthday party at the Bell pub in Whitechapel.1992 Leda had fallen pregnant in Strike's eighteenth year, while he was applying for university.Leda married Jeff Whittaker in 1992.Switch born in December 1992.Leda died in 1994, (age 40?), when Lucy (age 19?) and Strike (age 20?)8. Okay, now that we have Leda's life in a mental picture, walk us through your Means Before Motive breakdown of the most likely suspects.Fiona's Theory about Leda's death: Means before motive* Means: Three Suspects1. Member(s) of Ricci family or Ricci gang member.2. Jeff Whittaker.3. Shanker.All had access to drugs.* Motive1. Unpaid drug debt (Whittaker) and Ricci's killed Leda as a warning, or2. Rival gang to Shanker's cousin's takes revenge (knowing Shanker is close to Leda) and kill Leda as a warning, or3. Drug induced murder by Whittaker.Shanker's knowledge of organised crime in London is peerless. He knows what happened, blames Whittaker, but has never said anything to Strike. (Refer Troubled Blood, chapter 27, where Strike recalls helping Shanker make a ‘delivery' in ‘92 or '93 and Shanker's reaction to Strike's recall of that).Maybe Leda was suffocated while she slept (similar to Margot Bamborough's death), then injected with heroin by her killer.* Opportunity· Jeff Whittaker (lived at squat; a drug user).· Shanker (frequently visited the squat; was close to Leda).· Member(s) of Ricci family or Ricci gang member (local drug dealers) making a delivery.9. So Shanker is both a suspect and a person of knowledge; he either did it or knew who did it? How important is Strike's memory of the Ricci drug deal delivery for Shanker in all this?10. The beauty of this theory is that it's been so well set up; who has Shanker who revered Leda on their suspect list when she revered her so – and yet it was just that relationship that would have made her so vulnerable to targeting by the Riccis if Shanker stiffed them… Hence his warning Strike off the Riccis with such care in Troubled Blood and obscuring how he knows about Barnaby is Hallmarked?John Notes 10 JuneI'm intrigued by the Ricci-Shanker connection. Shanker knows about Barnaby's and that Knowles was dispatched there; Strike sees Marco Ricci later in the story making a delivery to Barnaby's. If I'm following your notes, Shanker's panic about Strike investigating the Riccis in Troubled Blood isn't out of concern for his adopted brother but from the fear that Cormoran will learn of his relationship with the family -- and, as you speculate, that Leda was killed by them as a message to young Shanker not to cross them. Shanker testified against Whittaker to scapegoat him and perhaps because he knew the Riccis would kill him if he told the truth.* Great plot twist and one that explains the whole Knowles plot line in Hallmarked Man and the police interest in Strike's source of information; Shanker is being presented as a dangerous criminal to readers who are blind (as are Strike and Robin) to the possibility that he was the natural suspect in Leda's death because of his proximity to nihilist forces. The delivery Strike made for Shanker to Ricci and Shanker's response to Strike's memory is a critical catch in all this; well spotted!I don't think your timeline precludes either Ted being Strike's father or Trevik molesting Leda as a young woman -- or another possibility. Her birth years and years after Ted's suggests that Trevik was not her father, that her mother's death wasn't natural, and that Ted may have been Leda's father via an incestuous relationship with his mum, both victims of Trevik's abuse. Leda's adoption by her grandmother after her mother died may have been to protect her from Trevik or her simply being cast out by him. Incest is a live issue, I think, in the Cornwall household.

Fantasy awards have given us some incredible winners over the years.But what about the books that didn't win?In this episode of Fantasy for the Ages, we're counting down the 30 greatest fantasy novels ever nominated for major fantasy awards that never actually took home the trophy. These are the bridesmaids of fantasy literature—the books that earned Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, or British Fantasy Award nominations, captured the hearts of readers, sold millions of copies, and became genre classics… yet somehow never heard their name called on awards night.From epic fantasy giants and beloved dragon adventures to urban fantasy masterpieces and modern classics, this list is packed with books that many readers would argue deserved a win.Which fantasy masterpiece was the biggest awards snub of them all?Let's find out.

Last week Ed Shardlow posted his thoughts about The Hallmarked Man being written in playful but meaningful parallel with Rowling's “political fairy tale,” ‘The Hallmarked Man Meets The Ickabog.' Nick Jeffery and John Granger called him up both to congratulate him on Arsenal winning the Premier League Cup — Go, Gunners! — and to learn as much as they could about the parallels he noted. After acknowledging the correspondences with Casual Vacancy, the trio explored Ed's argument about the Ickabog echoing just beneath the surface of Hallmarked Man, straight up and in inversion.The Ten Questions, Links, and Helpful Notes1. Nick, can you provide some context for this conversation? How did we get to the point that we expected Hallmarked Man to echo in characters, plot points, and themes either Casual Vacancy or The Ickabog? No one thought that was in the cards when Rowling-Galbraith and her publishers locked down the series at ten books.* ‘Parallels Series Idea' Pillar Post* Evan Willis' Tetractys Theory: Part 1, Part 2, Part 32. Open subject for the triumvirate to discuss here: there are a bunch of Casual Vacancy parallels in Strike 8 that have to be acknowledged. Name your favorites; I'll start this ball Rowling…* Ironbridge and Pagford seemed to be sister cities* each book ‘begins' with the sudden and tragic death of a man who haunts the rest of the novel, Barry Obama Fairbrother and Tyler Powell* The peanut allergy that Tyler and Andrew Price have; and* The incest secret in the Longcaster and Wall families3. Having noted those, Ed, why are you so sure that it's The Ickabog which is the parallel text with Hallmarked Man? Is the quantity of the parallels you and others have found, their quality, or the overarching feel of the works?* Ed's Post: ‘The Hallmarked Man Meets The Ickabog'4. I was surprised by your sheep parallel. I know my Ickabog memories are not fresh, but were there a lot of lambs and ewes in Strike 8?* Ed's Post: ‘The Hallmarked Man Meets The Ickabog'5. And the fish?* Ed's Post: ‘The Hallmarked Man Meets The Ickabog'6. Is there something akin to the Freemasonry of Hallmarked Man in The Ickabog?* Inversion of ‘Political Fairy Tale' with modern touches and gritty detective novel and Medieval coloration via Freemasonry symbolism and ritual7. Sandy Hope, our partner in the Group Adventure of charting Hallmarked Man, had a bunch of parallels that she shared in the comment thread to your post:* One of my favorite parallels you mention is the Old Forge and the Ickabog's cave, in which both Robin and the Ickabog tell tragic stories of birth. The Old Forge also reminds me of the transformation of the dungeon once Mrs. Beamish gets a stove installed and starts baking and feeding the prisoners. Mr. Dovetail's broken mind is restored by Mrs. Beamish helping him remember better times, and Robin's own brokenness is soothed by Strike's transformation from a self-serving, manipulative jerk to a selfless, compassionate listener and genuine friend. In both stories the fire is warm and purifying. Comment Url * One of my favorite parallels was “sticking to the game plan,” the ill-fated idea shared by Strike via Uncle Ted and also Lord Spittleworth. RFM reminds me of Ma Grunter, trying to appear sober when they're actually drinking on the sly. Dangerous Dick de Lion is not unlike King Fred the Fearless, who both have to learn about being contrite. Robin's bracelet is rather like Daisy's bandalore: both gifts are initially a hit but end up secretly hidden or stolen. Comment Url8. My favorite parallels were between the incest and ectopic pregnancy in Hallmarked Man and the Ickabog's manner of conceiving children and birthing them. Did you laugh out loud when you figured that out? I did when I read your post -- but it bears some explaining --* Ed's Post: ‘The Hallmarked Man Meets The Ickabog'9. Let's go around the table again and talk about the connection between the two books we haven't talked about yet --* Avenging Ghost of Beamish and Powell* Eslanda/Jolanda* Sandy Hope's Footprint Clue* Image of St George* The monster's cave, the Old Forge on Sark, and an ectopic pregnancy* Woman talking monster into returning to human society* Ed's brilliant parallel Character list10. You discuss in your post that you went through two stages before arriving at your conviction that The Ickabog was the model: first the overarching story and then on re-reading The Ickabog for specific detailed parallels. Do you think we should do a re-read of Casual Vacancy -- Nick is always ready for a trip to Pagford -- to see if there aren't specifics there, too? This is a public episode.

En su sección de ciencia en Más de uno, Alberto Aparici ha aprovechado la posible clasificación del CD Castellón para el playoff de ascenso a Primera para introducir un tema muy distinto: la desaparición progresiva de la escritura a mano. Junto a Begoña Gómez de la Fuente y Jorge Abad, el divulgador ha recorrido manuscritos originales de autores como Tolstói, Kafka, Dickens o J.K. Rowling para reflexionar sobre cómo la tecnología ha cambiado nuestra relación con la escritura. Aparici ha recordado además estudios recientes que apuntan a que escribir a mano podría favorecer una actividad cerebral más rica y una mejor comprensión de los conceptos frente al teclado. El programa contó también con la participación del biólogo y experto en neuroeducación David Bueno, profesor de la Universitat de Barcelona, que explicó cómo influye la escritura manual en el aprendizaje y el funcionamiento del cerebro.

In this episode of the Hugonauts we're breaking down what truly defines great Young Adult fiction and answering the ultimate question: do these books actually hold up when you read them for the first time as an adult? We look at the core guidelines of YA literature—from exploring the human condition through a young protagonist's eyes to (ideally) teaching profound stuff that resonates beyond teenhood.  We count down the absolute best YA sci-fi books and YA fantasy recommendations. We dive into legendary dystopian hits like The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, masterclass sci-fi like Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card and Red Rising by Pierce Brown, and classic fantasy staples like Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass, and C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia. But we don't just look at the masterpieces.  We also separate the true YA novels from books that are actually meant for middle-grade kids (like The Giver, Redwall, and The Phantom Tollbooth). Finally, we tackle the controversial "duds" of the genre. Why are massive bestsellers like The Maze Runner, Divergent, and Scythe so incredibly popular, and why did they fall totally flat for us? Grab your reading list and let's find out which books are actually worth your time!  No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

The new play “Giant,” on Broadway, dramatizes the scandal around Roald Dahl, the beloved children's-book author who, in the nineteen-eighties, began making antisemitic statements and invoking stereotypes about Jewish influence. John Lithgow portrays Dahl as he faces off against his American publisher, who presses him to retract his statements. The events that the show focusses on took place more than forty years ago, but they couldn't be more relevant today, as antisemitism surges during a war in the Middle East. Lithgow joins David Remnick to discuss the question of whether to separate the art from the artist—and about his own hesitation regarding his role as the wizard Dumbledore in HBO's new “Harry Potter” series, because of J. K. Rowling's history of anti-trans statements.    Further reading:  “‘Giant' Takes on Roald Dahl and his Antisemitism,” by John Lahr   New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.
