"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Full Cast Edition)" with Rhianna Dhillon

- Welcome to Earsay, the I-Heart and Audible Audio Book Club.

Where each episode we dive into a different audible title with your favorite podcast hosts and special guests. I'm Ed Helms, host of SNAFU. And I'm Kelpin, host of Here We Go Again.

Kel, I'm sad this is the last episode of the season. I mean, we've just been cranking these out. It's been so fun, like time flies. Can I second that and just say this has been not just the most fun.

“Are you allowed to say that a job is easy when it's fun?”

- No, no, we have to maintain the illusion that this is very hard work. - Like if you do, I mean, yeah, I guess that's true. No, it's easy, we get to listen to great audio books and then talk to a lot of the people behind them.

So it's been a real treat to do this to go. - I agree, and it's been fun to a hang out with my buddy cow, but also, yeah, just meet these fascinating,

interesting people that I never would have connected

to otherwise. - Yeah, and I do like that I get to see your face regularly. - I know. - It is a cool thing. - This isn't "I Heart Podcast."

Guarantee to you, man. - All right, well, today we're discussing the brand new full cast audio edition of one of the most beloved fantasy stories ever written.

“I'm, of course, talking about the iconic”

Harry Potter series, or "Ery Paul." As they say, "With the first two titles out now on audible." This spectacular adaptation is narrated by Kush Jumbo and it features a huge star-studded cast, including "Hulory as Albus Dumbledore, Matthew McFadion

as Voldemort's and "Riz Ahmed as Severus Snape." Brought to life with sound design and a stunning new score, these new editions offer a truly immersive listening experience. The story, of course, follows Harry Potter, who lives an unhappy non-magical life under the stairs

with his non-magical relatives, the Durslies. This is, of course, until his 11th birthday, at which point he is swept into the wizarding world by a half giant named Hagrid. He learns that he's famous for being the boy who lived,

and he finds himself pitted against the most feared dark wizard in the world, the evil Voldemort, or he who shall not be named. Obviously, this is a hugely culturally significant work with seven novels, eight films in the primary storyline, with spin-offs and video games and a stage play,

and everything else you can imagine. I'm gonna sure there's an opera coming soon. - So, there's a lot to get into. - Yes, that's correct, so Lord Helms. And with that, I will leave you to it.

- I can't keep up. - I just don't wait. Are you a TA at Hogwarts? - I would love, that's the dream role right there, or like an RA, you know, I was really an RA, UCLA. - But that is so off topic here.

I will leave you to this conversation, and I'll see you after. - Fabulous, thank you, Cal. Joining me today is film and TV critic, radio and podcast host, and Harry Potter's Superfan Rianna Dylan.

Rianna Dylan, welcome to Earsay. It's an absolute pleasure to have you on our club today. You're a huge Harry Potter fan. Tell me about your fandom. - Hi, I am a massive fan.

I got the books when I was in primary school, so I was maybe 10, and my friend was so excited

to show me there's a line in the first book,

which has the word bogies in it, and she was just so excited to show me this line. - Well, I guess it was like naughty word, bogies disgusting. We were disgusting little kids. - So from then on, it just--

- Sorry, as an American, I have to ask, is bogie the same thing as like, "Bugger in an American English?" - Yeah, it's not, yeah. - Okay, that was like, hold on, what is a bogie?

Why is that a naughty word? - Thank you to Ian. These two children's entertainers in the UK who used to go into really quiet places and dare each other to shout bogies as loud as possible,

and like get louder and louder, and they had to keep getting louder and louder to win the game. So that was like a game that we played as kids. So yeah, bogies got me into Harry Potter,

and I've just been obsessed with it ever since, and I am unfortunately a 36 year old Harry Potter nerd,

“which isn't as sexy as I think it should be.”

- You're right in the right age pocket though,

to be a Harry Potter obsessed person, and I respect it. I'll be honest with you, my Harry Potter fandom has been like very tangential. I just have enjoyed the occasional movie.

I never read the books as a kid.

They didn't exist when I was a kid, but getting into it for this podcast, I'm like, oh, oh, I get it. This is really fun, and we'll get into the details of the world building in a minute,

but I just think it's an incredible universe. All right, so let's step back in time for a minute. The story introduces Harry and the reader to the hidden wizarding world, a massive universe of new experiences.

We're talking diagon, alley, Hogwarts, Quiditch, et cetera, et cetera. Now, thinking back to your first time experiencing this story, what elements of the wizarding world

“or of magic in general just immediately captured your imagination?”

- I'm like all of it. I mean, it was so immersive, it is so immersive. Like the idea of using spells to just make everything more exciting and, you know, like you always had that thing, "Oh, would you rather fly or would you rather be invisible?"

And all of those questions that you used to ask each other is like, I don't know, ice breakers when you're a kid, whatever. Like, they can do all of that in Harry Potter. And that was so cool. And I was also such a fan of in a blighting growing up.

So I was obsessed with the famous hive. - Wait, come on, get back up. You're obsessed with what, exactly. - Oh, sorry, in a blighting, who was British author, who children's stories, the famous five were,

like, a group of four children and their dog, Timmy, and it was just them going on adventures. - It was.

- They were always finding treasure and getting kidnapped.

- That sort of thing. - Fabulous. - And like, there was such a lack of adventure where I grew up in the South of England in the suburbs.

And so I was always obsessed with children having adventures. And Harry Potter just immediately launched me into this whole new world of adventure. And I was so gripped by the school and like, I love school anyway, 'cause I was a nerd.

- Yeah. - It was just being an enhanced version of that. - Of course.

“And I think also for any of us who didn't grow up”

like the popular kid in school, which is 98% of us. - Yeah. - The idea that you could be like marginalized in your school, even in your family,

but then that there's like this secret way that you're actually incredibly special is so intoxicating, right? - Yeah. - And that is so, so cool.

And then of course, to be special in a special world and in a whole entire special universe that like regular people can't even see and comprehend, it's such an exciting and precise amount of world building that is, it's truly incredible.

We also have to shout out the narrator of this particular production, Kush jumbo, because she really brings the prose of this book to life in such an incredible way that I think welcomes us into that world.

We have a clip of Kush jumbo, let's listen. - Out the shadows, our words of the figure came crawling across the ground like some stalking beast. Harry, Malcolm and Fang, to transfixed. The cloaked figure, which the unicorn,

it lowered its head over the room to the animal side and began to drink its blood. - Whoa. - So atmospheric. - To your point, there's unicorns here.

Their blood has magical powers. Of course it does. - 'Cause it does. - Of course it does. - It's the unicorn, that's amazing. - What moments in this audiobook

capture the feeling of the magical world best for you or just stood out the most?

- I always loved reading about the quidditch matches

and I think the audio really gets it, because it just plunges you right into the stands. You have the crowd sounds, like all around you. It is surround sound, especially if you're listening in headphones.

So you're almost hearing that individual conversations and comments, which obviously aren't in the book. That's not dialogue left from the book, but it is just, it's such a clever way of making us feel like we're really there.

And it kind of hear the snitch, whushing past our heads and it is brilliant.

“I think that's so clever to make us feel like we're part of a crowd.”

- Yeah. - You get the enthusiasm for it, right? It's like just being a sports match. Like a football match for me, or I don't know. - I think you're exactly, that's such a great example

of how this particular audiobook production elevates the text with so much sound design. I have to say, I love the just from a magical world building standpoint, the hidden train platform platform nine and three quarters, that you can only get to by running

straight at the wall, basically. It's so simple, but it's so cool. It's like it takes a little bit of bravery

And of course, again, in this production, the sound design of the train platform, you know, it's so immersive and he's just been dropped off by his wretched and uncle, and now he's like in this, he's feeling very panicky and scared.

It's just a really riveting moment. So the full cast nature of this production brings the characters really to life. Check out this clip of Riz Ahmed as Snape in Harry's first Potions class.

You can really feel why Harry feels Snape does not like him. - Snape, like Flipwick, started the class by taking the register and like Flipwick, he paused at Harry's name. - I, yes, Harry Potter, are you celebrity?

“- Oh, it's just a little, it's just a little bite, right?”

- Yeah, I love that performance particularly because everybody thinks of Snape. They think of Alan Rickman, right? - Right, that is the first thing

and that incredible, he's so well known for his voice.

And I really love how Riz Ahmed makes it completely his own. He goes for completely different direction. And actually in real life, like Riz is so like, he's quite petite, he's very gentle, like, smiley. And so this is like really playing against type

and I love how Snape is. And I keep walking around being like, Potter, you know, it's just, yeah. - Alan Rickman is like, it's just an inherently sinister energy. But Riz Ahmed, it's like a little bit more of a misdirect.

I agree with you 100% and it's very cool. He does an incredible job. Any other performances really stand out to you? - Well, first of all, I think Mark Addy is Hagrid. I mean, I love the West Country accent anyway.

Like it's a really gorgeous, fun voice. And Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall because I used to watch this British TV show called Green Wing where she places really eccentric off the wall character. And so hearing her play a really known nonsense,

very Scottish professor is pure joy. And then who else is there? I mean, Addy'll act our playing filter, which we only sort of hear a little bit of in the first stone. He's just so funny, he's actually a comic actor.

And you can hear, like, even the way that he does the dialogue in this, the way that he's moving, like, you picture a hunched over. He's so physical with his voice, which is amazing. And also, have I in it? Play by Arabel Estanton, who is going to be in the TV series.

And she's perfect to mine. And I am a bit of a hammer. I mean, a lot of got money heads, like, based sentient.

And so I've always had an affinity with her.

And I think she absolutely nails it. You've picked out some of the just truly extraordinary performances.

“But how can we leave out the great Hugh Laurie as Dumbledore?”

I mean, that he's just, like, so perfect. Yeah, you know Hugh Laurie from. Like, what is your, like, go to Hugh Laurie's role? I have two, there's two things. My first Hugh Laurie fandom is when I was a comedy nerd in college.

And I was trying, I was just digging up old comedy stuff. And Fry and Laurie was, like, formative for me. I, you know, because I was deep into Monti Python as most comedy nerds were in my age. That's sort of like, doing your homework. It's like, you're studying the masters by getting deep into a Monti Python.

But then it was like, okay, what other British masters were out there and Fry and Laurie just blew my mind. I truly loved them.

And of course, even Fry narrated the other audiobook and his incredible voice.

So it's cool to see Hugh Laurie kind of come to me in this way. Then house houses a show that was such a huge hit here in the United States. And he's incredible on that show. What about you? What's your Hugh Laurie or just story?

Black Adder. It's Black Adder. Oh, great. Okay.

“Which is, I mean, you have to watch it every Christmas special every year.”

But just all of it, he's so innately funny and dry and he, like, for Dumbledore, he brings like a real warmth in humour. And I was, I was caught on, this makes me sound so nerdy. But I was watching a video of the behind the scenes of the making of the audio book. And Hugh Laurie is one of the actors who didn't really know Harry Potter, again, like why would

he is not his generation. Sure. And so he's sort of almost coming to it for the first time. And he just, just watching him be like, I really enjoyed it. Yeah.

Really good. Really good. Yeah. Welcome along. Joy Club.

And just him appreciating Dumbledore, like, for the first time and asking questions about him. I thought it was really interesting because I guess if you're a fan, you, you take it so much for granted. Sure.

Like, we've had all of the conversations we've talked about, like, the sort of fan ideas and everything.

book, because that it is going to reach lots of new listeners. That's me. You're talking to me too. I mean, I was, again, just sort of like a casual, like, yeah, I'm aware.

“I think I saw the first movie or two, but I was not deep into it.”

And this is, like, really changed my entire relationship with the whole concept of Harry Potter. All right. So Harry's entire life changes on his 11th birthday. He goes from living in a tiny room, a cupboard, basically.

He's covered then to a room. Under the stairs? Yeah. With people who really don't like him, to learning he has an inheritance, and he has

this incredible destiny ahead of him, it turns out he's famous in ways that he just had

no idea there's this burden of fate that lands on him and tests of character. What do you think of Harry's journey? Jim, I find really interesting is to think about what kind of kid Harry might have been without all of the trauma, without this start in life, because he's not really acting in confidence even through the beginning.

He's quite cheeky. He's very clever. And I don't think he would have reached Draco Malphoy Heights of arrogance, of course. Of course.

“I think he might have been a bit unbearable as a kid, like rich and popular, good”

at Quidditch. He might have just mirrored his dad who, I know you don't know this yet, but in the later books, we find out was a bit of a prayer at school, but then he sort of grew up matured, and I think Harry might have followed that trajectory, but then with all of this added, as you say, the burden, the fate, the destiny, the prophecy that we find

out later on of what he's destined to do, he has to grow up so fast. Yes.

He kind of has lost his childhood in those first 11 years, because the doesleys are so

horrible to him. Don't let him have one. And he loses his sort of second childhood because he is forced to confront this monstrous being he wants to kill him, and that is a huge thing to put on a child. This role that he didn't choose to be a hero, essentially, is such a classic kind of myth

building. In a beautiful way, I mean, there's a great tradition of heroes coming from a very broken background or often being orphaned, Luke Skywalker comes to mind, and that's so true in this case. And you mentioned at the beginning of what you were just saying, I really love that you

pointed out like how that childhood that he did have with the horrible durslies, like how that may have shaped how he then handled all of these incredible obstacles and challenges that did come his way, and I like to think that that childhood gave him a sense of humility and a sense of kind of like a very keen radar for right and wrong, and justice, right? The way he was so mistreated by the durslies, it's like he just was so keyed in on this

is not fair, I'm not being treated well, and this is not the right way to be. So then when he's the foisted into this universe where he is famous and has all of this expectation on him, he brings humility to it, and he's truly uncomfortable with fame.

But to your point, he has that sort of cheeky sensibility of always knowing I'm better

than my background, I'm better than my childhood, I'm better than what I came from, and when Haggard gives him that sort of crash course on this is who you are, and this is where you came from, it's validation, it's like yes, that is who I am, I knew it, I knew there was something better, like being seen, I guess, 11 years of just being ignored or a nuisance or exactly, and he kind of has this survival instinct as well, he is the survivor

from, you know, being one-years-old and surviving, rolled up attack, and every year with the doesleys he has to survive, he has to get through every year, then Hogwarts he has to survive in a much more literal sense, so he is a survivor, I think the fact that he comes to terms with his own mortality so young, before kids are even thinking about that, before that kids perhaps even their grandparents have passed away, so they've never had to face what

“Earth is, Harry, in the philosopher's stone, says like I'm ready to die, if that's what”

needs to happen, to stop Voldemort, I'm ready to die, I mean, then I live in your old, so yeah, he's a very inspiring character, yeah, absolutely, I want to jump into one of my one of the great sort of magical ideas of the story, the mirror of Aeroset, which shows the viewer, quote, "nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts." So did you know that Aeroset is designed by a backwards?

No, no, I didn't know that until you just said that.

so yeah, that's the privilege of being a Harry Potter fan, you know these things, thank you. Yes, I love it, I do love it, so Harry sees his family in the mirror, because of course that's his deepest desires to know his parents and Ron sees himself as basically the popular kid, which is his deepest desire, if you reanested before the mirror right now, what do

you think? What deepest desire would be reflected back at you? Such a deep question. I know.

“I think it is love, I think ultimately it is just being loved and not alone, and I think”

that is something that I hold very dear and always have and always will. I'm not sure

by who. It's not just, are you sure it's not just to go hang out with the cast of Harry Potter? I mean, I have done with the film through my job, because I've actually integrated it with them, got a lot of fun, but yeah, I mean, yes, also. Your answer is honestly, your answer was beautiful and how we should stop there, because it was, I don't mean to turn it into a joke, I was very thoughtful. It's fine. So the end of the year, the sea is Gryffindor,

ultimately win the house cup, of course. And this is largely thanks to Harry and Ron and Hermione and Neville Longbottom, Neville receives ten points, because it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. What is this moment

reveal about the core values of Gryffindor house? I've always found it hilarious that Ron gets 50 points

for basically playing a great game of chess, and Neville gets ten points for his courage. So maybe they value chess, but I feel like Gryffindor clearly values growth, because Neville is like the epitome of potential, right? He sort of becomes the ultimate Gryffindor by the end of the saga, so I love that the sorting has sees that potential in here, the bravery within him.

“Yeah, I totally agree. I think it speaks to the, I like that they can sort of remove context and”

just say, "Hey, this is courage." It's like this is courage, whether even though you are obstructing what was ultimately heroic journey for them, what you did to courage in that that is growth, and you will be rewarded for that. It's not context dependent. It's like, you don't have to like absolutely be in sync with the people doing the right thing. You just have to do the right thing. So if you were given a chance to attend Hogwarts, which I know would be

your greatest dream for this. This is what would be in the mirror of Aresette for you, is like you in your mirror door? Yeah. All right. I actually do have Gryffindor rights by the way. Oh, I'm sure you do. But newsflash Rien, they're not real, just so you know, even your Hogwarts.

“I think it's real to me, and that's what I'm saying. All right, that is all of them.”

If you weren't given a chance to attend Hogwarts, which core subject charms, transfiguration potions, or defense against the dog odds, would you be most interested in, and which do you think you would be best at? Oh, I'm quite lazy. So I think I would choose charms, because I think it just makes your life easier. It's like learning all the little tricks to make your life so much easier. Like, I kind of know, I was ill or something. I just basically had a

Harry Potter marathon, where I was listening to your works. I had the films on, and I genuinely tried to axiomiremoat control, like, to summon it towards me. Like, I reached up, I had, and I was like, "What am I doing?" Like, that's so funny. It was something, because that really sums me up. It was like, that was what I would use the math. Wow. Wow. That's a good answer. Yeah, you would basically, you would use your entire Hogwarts education just to like summon the remote control.

Oh, my God. Yes, I would. It's a good answer. I like it's honest. What about you? I may be

transfiguration. I'm just obsessed with like the how cool it would be to be a bird. I always,

I'm a little bit of a bird nerd. I like bird watching, and I think they're so beautiful and cool, and I, it just the idea of like, soaring around and zooming between trees. And they're,

twigs and branches. It's like, they're so cool. And then, of course, that's just the little chickadies. But if you're, if then you're like a raptor, or yeah, like a, like a Falcon or an eagle,

then you're really soaring around. Now, their lives are ultimately kind of violent. Like, I don't want

that part because they have to play each other. They have to kill other things. But you still, you'd be a human, you'd be an animagus if that was you. So you would still be a human in that form. So you wouldn't have to partake in the hunting. You're just, you know, go and flip a bow and thank you.

“I would. I would. So every day. Yes, thank you. Yes, so I think that would be, not just birds.”

Like, I think it could be cool to be a shark or something, too. You want cheese and quite violent animals. I will say, well, they're just cool. They do feel like the sharks are really fast. That's their violence that attracts me. It's just like how like these are very strong and agile animals. I don't think it would be awesome. There you go. You know what, that's a better. That's better. Thank you. Because not only that, but they surf. They didn't play in the waves. Which I like.

So there you go. Okay. All right. So the book centers around this powerful sorcerers stone,

or as you put it, the philosophers. Yeah, come on. Which is the first thing. I mean, it depends on where you are geographically. This can turn any metal into gold and it grants eternal life. Why do you

“think the pursuit of immortality holds such a deep and powerful, a lure across history and fiction?”

And would you, Reanna, want to live forever? I don't think anyone would want me to live forever. At least of all me. It's a deep question. It is all about power, isn't it? It's about not achieving what you think you want to achieve in your life and sort of wanting to continue that and just keep achieving. But that that feels quite like a selfish motivation. Sure. And I don't think I would

want to live forever like getting older and older. So like in the fantastic beasts films,

which obviously spin off of the Harry Potter franchise, we see Nicholas Flamel. We meet him. And he's really like papery and fragile. And that's not really a life like you'd want to be young and healthy and robust and still have like, you know, all your facilities. So I sort of think, I don't know, stick with, I wouldn't mind going back to different ages that I've already had. It's the knowledge that I have now. But I don't think I'd want to just keep living and living and

“living and living just for the sake of it because why? Like what am I going to do?”

Yeah. Well, it's so interesting because you went to the selfishness of wanting to live forever, which I think is a very insightful take on it. I also think there's another very primal emotion at play here, which is fear because debt were so afraid of death culturally, which I think is the wrong take, frankly. Like there are, there are cultures throughout history that have viewed death very differently. And I think we could learn a lot from that and have a much more philosophical view

of death as a part of the life cycle and as part of our destiny. And if you can remove that fear of death and fear of disappearance, which is also a fear of your relevancy in a way, because we all move into totally relevancy over time after we die, that I think that fear drives so much of the kind of intoxicating a lure of eternal life. I think that's such a good point. And it's something like dumbledore, there's a quote, the dumbledore says, which is death is

but the next great adventure. And that is, it dumbledore and Voldemort are on the opposite ends of those of that spectrum that you're talking about. One is afraid of death and one is quite happy to face it when it comes. Amen. Newsflash, the good guy is the one who has the right point of view on that. Shokka. All right, so we're going to take a quick break, but we'll be right back with more ear say. We're back and we're going to do a few quick fire questions. Now in a segment we're

calling plot twist. Are you ready? Ready. All right. We're talking Harry Potter, so I have to ask what house would the sorting hat put you in? Don't hate me, but probably slithering. Ooh, no, I think it's cool. Great. You're coming. I am. That's, oh, I love how you just own that. And I love snakes. I really love that. Cool. All right. Yeah. Now don't hate me, but I think I'm more of a Hufflepuff. Yeah, that doesn't that is absolutely perfect for you. The nerdy loyal hardworking.

Let's keep moving. If you had the invisibility cloak, what's the first thing you would do with it?

I think I'd probably come into the writers room of the TV series of Harry Potter and just A, like, find out everything they're going to do. I'd also like whisper subliminal ideas into the

“ears of the writers. Oh, that's funny. Oh, that's funny. Oh, that's funny. I think you should”

cost this person. I'd like, oh, he said, I just had a great idea. I think just to manipulate this world a little bit. Yeah, I love it so much. Um, I think I would like sneak into high levels of political power, like, like the White House or Parliament for you or, you know, like, I would know on a guy to bloody. Yeah, but, uh, I mean, like a history nerd and I would just be so fascinated to hear, like, what's really going on? Also, just to listen, not like mess things out. Well, like

steel secrets. No, if I could rewrite a few things, like, like sneak into the West Wing and start re-typing some of the dark events. And just, just in the way that I think they should be, why not? All right, if you could choose one spell from the story to be able to use in your life, what would

it be? I always find it really difficult to open doors, like I'm really bad with locks,

so I feel like a low homoral would be so useful for me. Um, also, just the use of gilly weed, which helps you breathe underwater, which isn't a spell. It's a herb. It's like a, but yeah, those, those

“too, breathing underwater, be called. Yeah, that's mine, for sure. I think that's it, because I love”

scuba diving, which is a fake. Oh, it's fake breathing underwater, but if you can put it in your gills, like, yeah, I'm like, webbed feet. I mean, too. I would, much of the tension in the book revolves around Harry's fear of Professor Snape, which turns out to be misplaced. Have you ever been in a situation where you're strong first impression of a person turned out to be completely spectacularly wrong? Um, I'm usually a very good judge of character, like I judge people very

quickly, and I'm usually right, not always like my best friend when I first met her, I thought she

was incredibly annoying. Um, and she's now basically a lot more sister. Also, and I'm sorry for this, Kevin Bacon. I really sort of hated Kevin Bacon. That's so arbitrary. Why did you hate Kevin Bacon so much? It's just like inexplicably. I don't know. I think just the roles he played. I don't know. I love him now. I absolutely love him. I was so wrong about Kevin Bacon. I sat next to him at an event not long ago, and I can tell you, he is an absolute delight. Oh, they have not surprised.

Just a fantastic guy. I was very drunk and delighted by him. Oh, good. I thought Kevin Bacon don't think it's to be blind. That is solid gold. I did not get to see him. All right, last

“question before we go, what are you listening to or reading right now? And what's next on your list?”

So much, actually, I'm reading the new Philip Pullman, the Rose Field, um, because I love Philip Pullman's works so much. Also, Percy Jackson, because I'm, I am particularly interviewing Rick Reardon very soon. And I'm also about to start a book called Monsters. What do we do with great art by bad people by Claire DeGera? Because as a critic and a commentator, I sort of have these conversations all the time about setting art from artist. And I thought I'm just going to

I'm going to read something. Someone who has more intelligent comments to make about this than me. So that's next on my list. Very cool. Um, Reanna Dillon, you interview people for a living and I have to say you're also quite a delightful interview subject yourself. Thank you so much. Well done. I'm so grateful to have you on.
