Hey Robert,

Just as a note, Harry is older than he's in the books too.  That means Justin could be Harry's mentor for Magical COLLEGE rather than his High School magician guy.

If you ever want to use him, just remember that there's no reason he couldn't be the Professor to Harry's magical B.A.

Murph's comment about her having dreams about Harry just made me wonder - are we going to see Harry use his Third Eye?

Hey Robert, just thought I'd let you know that the captions were a lot better in this ep, though there's still room for improvement.  Apparently the caption people have trouble when Harry mumbles.

In defense of DF, closed captioning is pretty hit and miss.  Our television in the second grade wing has the CC stuck ON (and not one of the 'technological wizards' in our building can figure out how to get it OFF) so everytime we watch a movie, the words are there.  Finding Nemo was hilarious.  None of Dora's (Dory?) lines come out making any sense at all.  I hope the kids aren't trying to read it, they'd be so confused!

BTW, Robert...this episode was GREAT.  Much better than last week's (and I liked last week's).   ;D

Robert, when I was looking at the gallery of pictures over at SciFi, there was a picture of Bob holding Harry's hockey stick. After the Box O'Doom, I sure hope that Bob won't be the giver of all things magic to Harry, because Harry made his own magical stuff in the books. Is Bob going to endow the hockey stick with some sort of magic for Harry?

(I won't see tonight's episode till tomorrow - I have to be out of the house at a horrifically early hour tomorrow, so please forgive me if that scene is in "Boone Identity." If so, I'll modify this question.

Bob holding the hockey stick?  Not possible.  Harry made it himself and Bob can't touch stuff anyway.  Must be a posed pic or something.

Ok, that's an action shot. Interesting.

Robert, a co-worker of mine swears he saw Melissa in the Hair of the Dog preview. Should we brace ourselves for a continuity glitch due to out-of-order airing, or is he on crack?

I'd check his "tabacco" very carefully.

On the other hand, that rockin' VFX article showed Bob having the ability to change his appearance--he can even make himself look like Harry.  It's not too big a leap of logic to assume he can manifest other noncorporeal items, like a representation of Harry's staff.

I know the woman he's talking about.  I thought she was Melissa at first, too.  I paused and checked.  Very similar looking.

Or maybe Harry can look like Bob with the right spell/potion?

Or maybe it's just taken out of context.  Someone gets Harry's staff from him, Bob provokes them, they swing at him and he tries to block it.  In the still, it looks like he catches it.  The episode might have it fly right through him.

I was wondering, is the reason we haven't seen Harry with his staff or blasting rod in the first two episodes because he hasn't finished making them yet?
