Posted on 15 September 2010

October is approaching and along with it Halloween! Will we get treats or tricks? I don’t know - but I’m not the least bit scared, you hear? It’s just another opportunity to dress up like I do every time I marathon the books and movies. Only difference is I can do it in public!

What does have me shaking in my boots is the last movie. The end is nigh! NIGH! But don’t think for one moment that us potheads are going to ground.@MadEye_Trudy has been digging in the dirt too, along with a new helper! Courtesy to @CamHorcrux, a recent addition to the forum. So if anyone’s got something to talk about, join us in the muck!

>FabePrewVit (Ravenclaw)

I don’t know about all that… feels like there’s been a drought on news and gossip here lately. 

>ButterBeerBelly (Hufflepuff)

I feel like twitter’s where it's at these days. facebook is cool too but i only use that to stalk my exes usually. There’s all these celebs on twitter 2, or maybe fake accounts i dunno. I follow a bunch of the cast who have accounts. Main cast don’t seem all into it - but loads of the other peeps have signed up

>Harmony-Armory (Hufflepuff)

JK Rowling signed up for twitter also! Some1 was impersonating her so she joined apparently. Used to be pretty active a while back. Got all this extra lore

>Pr0fV3ct0r (Hufflepuff)

DID U KNOW: wizards just pop a squat and shit in the halls!?! Y wipe when you can swipe ur wand??? O_O; Eew!

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

Agreed. I’m glad she’s not actively posting a lot anymore on there. I don’t need her to destroy my dreams and tell me Ron and Hermione get divorced or some BS

>Harmony-Armory (Hufflepuff)

@Kimmy_Con NO then how will we know if Harry and Hermione get together. They were meant to B!

>xXxHadrianBlackxXx (Gryffindor)

I know of a place where all your fantasies can come true. Not here tho. C u in the DMs

>Accio_Bum (Gryffindor)

Ded board? Ded like Dobby?

>Pr0fV3ct0r (Hufflepuff)

@Accio_Bum DONT EVEN GO THERE!1!11 (> T~T) > i’m still so sad from reading it - the movie made it sososososo much worse. 

>SkrewtOnTheBarbie (Hufflepuff)

Heartwrenching. Their performances had me gutted. Almost dint catch it cuz I knew what was coming. But I just had to see it in theatres. Twice. On the same night. 

>FabePrewVit (Ravenclaw)

There was a part of me that wanted to skip as well. Then I saw the poster - it looked so different from all the ones in the past u know? Made voldemort look like such a huge villain and the movie delivered on that promise too

>ButterBeerBelly (Hufflepuff)

What sold me (ignoring that I’m going regardless) was some of the casting. Cary Elwes and Rachel Weisz together? Sign me up!

>Bookworm/notale (Ravenclaw)

Cary Elwes notable roles: 

The Princess Bride 1987 - Dread Pirate Roberts

Robin Hood Men in Tights 1993 - Robin Hood

Psych 2009 - Pierre Despereaux

Rachel Weisz notable roles:

The Mummy 1999 - Evelyn Carnahan

Constantine 2005 - Isabela Dodson

Eragon 2006 - Saphira (voice)

>SkrewtOnTheBarbie (Hufflepuff)

Don’t sell our regular cast short either! The villains especially - i hated voldie, i hated the dursleys, i hated snape, i hated bellatrix, i hated the malfoys. Masterful work from all of them. Only one that didn't bubble up the bile was surprisingly Dudley - as an aside, barely recognised Harry Melling at the prem! 

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

U know who shocked me? Petunia - of all people! That last scene with her and Harry wasn’t in the book! 

>GoldenBitch50 (Slytherin)

Apparently wasn’t part of the script either. I heard through the grapevin that the scene was improvised on the spot by Bas and Fiona Shaw. 

> MadEye_Trudy (House Elf)

Bas even visited their school… Y COULDNT I BE A 1o YR OLD WELSH SK00LGRILL!?!?

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

@Pr0fV3ct0r Same…

>Lady$Milfoy (Slytherin)

He’s soooo good with children. Bas has serious potential to be a great daddy. I’d love to make him one

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

@Lady$Milfoy SAME!

>Trollina_2-2 (Death Eater)

Ohohoho I was waiting for this. I knew this was coming. The stench of rotting fish is wafting through the fucking broadband. Everything was going so damn smoothly before you all had to mention Bas Reeks. Weren't we all enjoying chatting bout other cool bts HP stuff? But nooooo. Every single thread has to devolve into you braying after the fraud. 

You’re all horny sheep, he’s leading by the nose. Man’s a degenerate! 

No wonder you and the welshman are so enamored w/ each othr. Your natural soulmates and holemates. Yuck! 

>SkrewtOnTheBarbie (Hufflepuff)

Here we go. Ur the 1 getting aggro here u dropkick! FFS hows this guy not banned yet?

>Blog_Beetle (Head of House)

I ask myself the same question every few weeks. As it is, he’s not used overly harsh language, gone spamming, nor directed vitriol at any one poster in particular.

@Trollina_2-2 Your insinuation of the stereotypical sexual predilections of a group of people hasn't gone unnoticed. I’ve got a cell in Azaban with your name on it buddy.

>FabePrewVit (Ravenclaw)

Derails everywhere I look… ugh its getting tedious… not sure about this news of the director - David Yates? - not doing the last movie. Thought he might’ve stuck it through to the end…

>CamHorcrux (Slytherin)

It's because he’s terrified of Bas

>GoldenBitch50 (Slytherin)

Sauce? @CamHorcrux

>Lady$Milfoy (Slytherin)

Highly highly doubt that. Our Bas is a sweetheart

>Trollina_2-2 (Death Eater)

AHA! Shady motherfucker - I keep telling you but no one listens! Good for Yates! Finally out from under the yoke of that douchebag diva. Now I only feel sorry for my Emma that she has to continue working with him after all the sexual harassment he’s subjected her to!

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

Someones still not over the lady garden. I preferred the Cuaron films better anyway

>SkrewtOnTheBarbie (Hufflepuff)

@Trollina_2-2 makes it sound as if Bas is like some evil overlord who’s keeping everyone down for his own benefit. Totally kookoo.

>Trollina_2-2 (Death Eater)

Damn str8. He has and I can prove it! HP is ending and because of that a bunch of the cast and crew are moving on to other projects. David yates, Karen Gillan, and also my Emma all have something to look forward to after Potter and after Bas. And those are just the eg off the top of my head. @Bookworm/notale back me up nerd. I know you’ve got a list ready to go, compare that with what that sheepfucker has lined up.

>Bookworm/notale (Ravenclaw)

Not on your team. Here’s the info tho. Don’t shoot the messenger: 

David Yates has commenced pre-production on WB’s latest revision of Red Riding Hood slated for release 2011. Interesting fact: Gary Oldman is also part of the cast. 

Karen Gillan is the current contemporary to the latest Dr Who on the BBC. Amy Pond has rapidly cemented herself as a fan favourite. 

Emma Watson has signed on for her second independent Hollywood production, she plays lead alongside George Clooney. Set to start filming this November, to be released late next year.

Bas Rhys has no confirmed projects as of yet. There were murmurings about him rejoining the fast and furious franchise, reprising his role as Sean Boswell, but that fell through. 

>Trollina_2-2 (Death Eater)

Told you losers! Bas Reeks is nothing without Harry Potter. His 15 mins are up. He’ll be forgotten in no time. Nobody wants him in their films -bet he hasn’t even had an audition. And unlike everyone else building their career he didnt even shoot anything between HBP and DH. Done and dusted!

>RefriedBertieBotts (Hufflepuff)

Couldn’t keep lurking. Haven’t been here long but getting real tired of dude upstairs mouthing off. None of what you’ve said is strictly true.

I know for a fact that he’s had meetings to play a role in another film - it was with that fat guy from Superbad.

And he’s genuinely such a fun flirty guy. He made me feel like i was actually there, which is more than I can say for 99 percent of celebs who walk into the restaurant i work at. I dont exist at all to them. Not Bas though. Tried to jokingly make me serve him booze lol.

It was going pretty well until some hussy basically tried to fuck him in the middle of a crowded room. He left pretty quickly after that.

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

Done and dusted? You’re not serious. Someone pull up box office numbers so we can all see just how irrelevant Bas has become.

>Bookworm/notale (Ravenclaw)

Now this is more my speed:

Movie: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

Role: Harry Potter

Release: 2009

Budget: 250 Million

Box Office: 1.3 Billion

Movie: Black Dynamite

Role: Cream Corn

Release: 2009

Budget: 3 Million

Box Office: 60 Million (domestic only)

Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1

Role: Harry Potter

Release: 2010

Budget: 150 Million

Box Office: 1.4 Billion (as of date)

>Accio_Bum (Gryffindor)

1 of those is not like the others…

>RefriedBertieBotts (Hufflepuff)

Still, insane margins. 20x recoup on budget. Plus i just really wanted to shut that guy up. Is it always like this here?

>ButterBeerBelly (Hufflepuff)

Nah @RefriedBertieBotts its just a few culprits too obsessed and too online. The one upside with the movies ending is that certain members lose their reason to complain. I enjoyed the run up to the movie for sure. Always fun seeing the cast in interviews - you can tell thems having a good time.

>Pr0fV3ct0r (Hufflepuff)

Xpecialy that Ellen interview with the trio. Bas is never not a gas =3=3=3

Lawl! He locked her in and they had to lock those sweet moves up! Ellen didn’t seem to mind too much, prison’s probs her jam

>ButterBeerBelly (Hufflepuff)

Surprised they didn’t do Conan O’Brien again. Or actually, I get it NBC and Leno did him dirty. Hopefully TBS will be better for the ginger

>Hagridonkulous (Gryffindor)

They did tho! Bas and Conan I mean. I dunno if anyone else has checked it out but Conan did a remote segment and co-hosted with Bas - It's all behind the scenes and hilarious! My sis and I’ve watched it like ten times together. It's on his new Youtube channel!

Those 2 have crazy energy - emphasis on the crazy

>GoldenBitch50 (Slytherin)

What's crazier is that Bas ain't that diff in person. Got to meet him this summer when I managed to snag those incredibly overpriced tickets for the Universal park premiere. He took us on all the rides and never complained even when we draped ourselves over him, treating him like one!

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

Rich bitch!

>GoldenBitch50 (Slytherin)

Be jelly

>Trollina_2-2 (Death Eater)

Fake fake fake. Y constantly praise him? None of dis shit is him doing anything - he’s just reading the script the studio tells him to. Puppet boy. Liar long nose pinocchio puto. 

In fact after subjecting myself to all the drivel you’ve collectively posted; between the comment about the booze, Ellen asking if he’s on drugs, and just his general behaviour. Rhys is probs awful behind closed doors. Just watch - the guys gonna crash and burn 

My money says the guys knows his career is over thats why i’m guessing hes suicidal or some shit. That cut on his hand? That bs story about him drowning? Connect the dots sheeple!

>Lady$Milfoy (Slytherin)

We do NOT talk about that incident!

>SkrewtOnTheBarbie (Hufflepuff)

It was all over international fuckin news!!

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

Are you outta your damn mind!?!? Some of us are still reeling - I still have some of my anxiety meds left over!

>GoldenBitch50 (Slytherin)

I assure everyone here. Don’t listen to the tin foil troll. This wasn’t a conspiracy or some PR scheme. It was a stunt gone almost very very wrong. 

>FabePrewVit (Ravenclaw)

Don’t flame me for saying this, but… I don’t fully disagree with @Trollina_2-2. Not about the near-death experience obvs. But the rest may have some merit.

Wasn’t there a celeb gossip article about him being totes sloshed in public a little while ago? Not a good look. Apparently roaming the streets after some big party he went to with Donald Glover - they interviewed some girl who was there and everything.

Would you look at that? HAHAHAHAHA. Let me repeat what that skank in the interview said - louder for the people in the back too. Baby boy Bas ran away from that dime piece and went and gobbled down some thick juicy carne instead.

Actually now that I think about it, either he’s gonna off himself or more likely he’s a fairy who's gonna flap his wings any day now! WIN WIN FOR ME. I won't have to worry about Emma’s virtue for too long.

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

Anyone have a rip of that scene from Ron's horcrux nightmare? Really wanna rub it in his face. Thats proof enough of to me that you’re wrong on every level.

>SkrewtOnTheBarbie (Hufflepuff)

How delulu can one guy get? They’re gorgeous movie stars who work in very close proximity. Chances are they're rooting like rabbits. Stuff happens on set. 

>Trollina_2-2 (Death Eater)

HOORS!

I wont lie. That felt great. Mind your manners everyone. Just because you choose not to spell the word out, doesn't mean we don't understand the intent. 

>Shrieking(Y)Cabin (Gryffindor)

Just a quick fly-by here. I can verify (with first-hand experience) that Mr Rhys is - ah, shall we say on… the straight but not very narrow. He’s quite immune to altitude sickness; you'll be interested to find out. @RefriedBertieBotts if you’ve served him then you know he leaves quite the generous tip

>RefriedBertieBotts (Hufflepuff)

Decent chance I would've preferred it over cash

Are you asking for details or describing the hazard you’ve caused?

>Lady$Milfoy (Slytherin)

Both.

Bruh…. Clean up on aisle milf!

>xXxHadrianBlackxXx (Gryffindor)

I thot i was the only 1 who wrote fanfic here

>CamHorcrux (Slytherin)

Trust me. Nothing said sounds unrealistic. Bas is active even on set. Not Watson, though. Not a whiff of any shenanigans going on there. At least to my knowledge.

>GoldenBitch50 (Slytherin)

I can provide consensus on the Emma/Bas thing. Although @CamHorcrux I repeat: sauce?

>CamHorcrux (Slytherin)

No thanks. I like living.

>Hagridonkulous (Gryffindor)

This is all so adult!

>Kimmy_Con (Gryffindor)

Sorry! I’m creating a private group. Whoever wants to join, DM me, I’ll add you. 

>ButterBeerBelly (Hufflepuff)

Bas needs a minder… I remember there used to be that nanny or whatever following him around. Thought they would’ve replaced her by now - I don’t see anyone around him anymore.

>CamHorcrux (Slytherin)

>GoldenBitch50 (Slytherin)

@CamHorcrux U know something! TELL US!

Comments

Heraclitus

Probably my favorite PHO interlude so far. Good stuff. Edit: Also, if you ever want to switch the interlude up. I'm pretty sure celebrity AMA's on reddit were pretty popular around this time.

Yeno Memevig

60mill for BD is insane. New Austin Powers fr no cap skibbidy

David Karlsson

Did they just share something about Emma/Bas? Or a nude from the airplane?

McLuvin

I assume Bas just got a film role of some kind and the last part is the leak. Not really sure what he could be going for, possibly Limitless? We know he’s working on that after Potter.

Uncle Snoo

Pretty sure it has something to do with whatever plan Bas cooked up to hit back at Robinov.

Bryan

I must be the only person in the Worm fandom who HATES these things. John McCrae wrote 1.4 million words of Worm and had a single PHO interlude, yet for some reason fic authors seem to think they should have one every other chapter. They don't advance the plot, they don't add to characterization, and they're not funny. Any story (even a stellar one like this) is made worse by their inclusion.

David Karlsson

Wasn't it on the topic of NSFW stuff in regards to Bas? Then again, if that deleted user was FedEx your theory makes sense. Something to do with what he hinted at with Ben last chapter that was expensive for him?

Soh•M©

I love these, really wanna know what's the leak 🙏

Uncle Snoo

Joining the mile high club happened under FedEx supervision. No way it gets leaked.

Soh•M©

What's this person talking about '>Shrieking(Y)Cabin (Gryffindor)'? His pp?

David Karlsson

I feel the same way about "history book" interludes prose in fandoms like Asoiaf. The only purpose PHO has is to show what the fans are privy to, maybe guess at any scheming bas is upto behind the scenes like outing Jeff anonymously. haven't developed a pet peeve about PHO yet but author hasnt used it much. Would prefer a fan POV for the exposition

Uncle Snoo

The clue is 'generous'. Bas and Ben hinted about it last chapter. I assume he arranged some kind of event for the entire HP crew. And he spent a pretty penny on it.

David Karlsson

It's probably the air stewardess. She could get fired if it becomes common knowledge tho

Soh•M©

Do you remember which chapter she is from? Can't believe I am forgetting stuff.

David Karlsson

Sounds like the charitable thing Bas planned at the end of last chapter. Maybe a Christmas bonus or donation?

Uncle Snoo

If anything has to leak, I hope it's Bas' net worth. And how he made his wealth.

Aagkard

Nooooooooo! Robinov lives to see another day \o/ Great chapter by the way.

Zach

What’s next?

sicksock

I find them kind of quaint. Forums akin to the "PHO" used to be practically the only avenue for discussion and news for niche topics back in the early days of the internet. If done well these chapters frame the discourse around the story without devolving into 'exposition/reaction' dumping. Personally this chapter doesn't do much for me, but I'm not categorically opposed to the format.

Leafninja91

Ha Ha Ha. this was a great chapter. thanks you.

Uncle Snoo

No, I mean how he owns approx 2% of both Uniqlo and Netflix. And grew them exponentially through the Potter franchise. Though, the subprime crisis profit should come out as well. You can't hide hundreds of millions in profit legally. Someone has to have sniffed out the trail. Just that I'm afraid they'll credit Ben and not Bas. I'd be pretty disappointed if The Big Short doesn't mention them.

Noctus Tagaris

so... waitress from the superbad lunch, airhostess, kimmy from the comic-con interlude, but what was that last thing?

Tharsax

You're not alone, it's a pity that this kind of thing got so popularized in fanfiction when it's so easy to do without

David Karlsson

I'd like to see the big short as well but unless someone leaks it illegally from government sources. He hasn't really made any big purchases that would make his networth look more than twice as large as speculated based on Uniqlo, Netflix, HP salary and dividends would indicate. Would they break the law to find out Bas Rhys financial history, and if so would they leak it on a HP forum and not sell/tip the info it to an investigative reporter or some big magazine?

Uncle Snoo

The way I see it, you need to source the CDS from some banking institution. And to turn a profit, you have to sell it right back to them. I doubt Ben cared much about anonymity that he would use multiple sources. So all of his transactions would be in the financial statement. That's the trail. In fact the bank would certainly do an internal investigation of their own (required by government for tax purposes iirc). Figure out who profited off of them the most. Ben should easily be in the top 5. And the author of The Big Short should have access to that information through his connections.

Happy

I love these interludes! It takes me BACK!

Evertime

Bet this is the cast party that bas paid for and the studio's unwillingness to participate in the charity angle for the hang out with bas tickets

Ghosty

Do we know around how much Bas is worth right now?

Paul Wang

As with anything, they can be done well. But this one in particular doesn't feel like it serves much of a purpose.

Uncle Snoo

500mil+ last time we got an update. With Netflix slowly taking over, should hit 1bil soon. Might have a shot at taking the youngest billionaire crown.

Relayed

Last chapter Bas and FedEx discussed providing some kind of expensive reward for possibly the cast and crew. They also planned on documenting it ahead of time so that the studio can't take credit for it. CamHorcrux is that documentarion.

Relayed

I'm not a fan of the format either but this is the story of a celebrity. Public perception of him has to be known beyond his inner circle. I had hopped for a film critic or a casting director insight by now since his future seems to have stalled for some yet to be named reason. But, if he's going to be leaking info ahead of the studio, an online forum would be the place. Although Twitter might be the more publicized option.

Ghosty

Wait who leaked that he got money from the short? I'm I stupid or has it already been said?

David Karlsson

True, though who knows how many jumped on that bandwagon at Ben's firm. Bas wasn't willing to take out loans against his assets shorting the market, he just used up all his available currency. Would Ben, his bosses, coworkers or Anita be more daring? I can't remember whether Ben got that promotion before or after the crash but it would make sense

David Karlsson

I still prefer fan PoV format. It's more engaging and accomplishes more or less the same. And it seems he's had a rough year. The filming was pretty rough in OtL for Deathly hallows. Here he almost died, his relationship was kind of crap and they're trying to fuck over Anita and him. Hope he still gets to do limitless but tbh seems he could do with a vacation first

BarCalak

keep in mind OG box office didn't crack 300K USD irl. Bas gets a subtle lesson about his starpower and the value of his studio connects.

BarCalak

Man you all know my stiry better than i do at this point haha Love it!

BarCalak

some of the interactions, and thoughts bas has had in the last few chaps will make sense

BarCalak

Fair enough. Good feedback for the future. To me at least they serve as a recap, a pulse on Bas' rep with fans and haters alike, and I get to disseminate some important info in key tidbits without having to dedicate a slower chapter to that info. And using all that to maybe even to a little seed sowing. But looking into a new format isn't a bad idea. I have a real fan POV planned for the DH2 premiere.

BarCalak

On one hand outside of Bas' team and the IRS, his financials are air tight. On the other Bas' has an existing acquaintanceship with the director of the Big Short Adam McKay.

BarCalak

it seems a magnifying glass is required to be part of this particular discussion haha. Good job!

BarCalak

Thanks uncle snoo 500ish mil is correct. I'll go over his updates in a sperate chapter once it become plot relevant.

Uncle Snoo

Honestly, I hope someone else directs it. The camera work and direction was a bit distracting, saved only by the masterful screenplay. I think someone like David Fincher would be more suited.
