Changes: MuggleNet

Revision as of 07:52, 1 April 2009

Mugglenet.com is a Harry Potter fan web site founded by Emerson Spartz in 1999, that includes information about Harry Potter's books and most things related with them.

Mugglenet is composed of news, editorials and synopses of the Harry Potter books and films, an encyclopedia of the books, an IRC network, in which the fans of Harry Potter can discuss predictions and share thoughts, a discussion forum, and media such as screenshots, theatrical trailers and book covers. There is also a fan fiction section, a weekly caption contest, and other occasional contests and polls. On August 9 2005, it launched a podcast, dubbed "MuggleCast", as well as its own line of clothing, toy wands, other merchandise. In 2006, MuggleNet released a best-selling reference book on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the final book in the series. On December 24, 2008, MuggleNet launched the social network for Harry Potter fans based on MySpace.com and they called it as "MuggleSpace" ^[1]

In March, 2009. The Global Financial Crisis affected the site. Some drastic changes are implemented including the removal of lay-out choices and link to several cool sub-pages that are too costly to host. Also the site's header is changed, featuring a graffiti of the word MUGGLENET with a cool money-saving light bulb.^[2]
