On the Way to Sunny CA
Some exciting news - Wikia has offered me a free trip to their headquarters in California at the end of this month. I'll be spending a day there at their headquarters and while there, I'll be learning about and discussing the latest features for videos on Wikia. The travel expenses are entirely paid, so it's a pretty neat deal.
While I'm there, if there's any questions anyone wants me to ask, or anything they'd like to find out, just let me know. I'll try to represent the Harry Potter Wiki while I'm there, as well as my pet project, the Eternal Sonata Wiki. Really excited about the trip and this opportunity to learn more about Wikia!
Happy Hallowe'en from Harry Potter Wiki
Hallowe'en has come, and the ghosts and goblins are out!
We celebrate Hallowe'een here on the Harry Potter Wiki, but for Harry Potter, Hallowe'en brings mixed feelings, as this way the day that he lost his parents, James and Lily Potter to Lord Voldemort, who was certainly out on on trick-or-treating expedition that night.
On the other hand, Hallowe'en brought the delicious Hallowe'en feast, but also thrills and danger in the form of Quirinus Quirrell's first mountain troll and the Deathday Party for Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, followed by Harry's hearing a strange voice and the discovery of the opening of the Chamber of Secrets. 31 October was also the day of Sirius Black's attack on the Fat Lady and the fateful day when Harry learned tha…
Harry Potter Wikia a Top Wikia Entertainment Wiki
I was over at the Community Wiki and I spotted something interesting - the Harry Potter Wiki is in fifth place on the top entertainment wikis. Our popularity exceeds even that of the Star Trek Wiki, Memory Alpha, and other wikis just below us include the Digimon Wiki and the Marvel Database. I assume these rankings must be popularity, as Memory Alpha is far larger in terms of content than us. Wikis that are more popular at this time include Wookiepedia, the Star Wars wiki (and no surprise, it's massive) and the Dragon Ball Wiki.
Pretty thrilling to be in the top five, and hopefully we can push ahead even further!
A Very Harry Christmas
Merry Christmas! Or Happy Hannukah, Kwanzaa, Festivus or winter-berry hunting ( :D ) -- I'm down with whatever winter holiday tradition you like to celebrate.
But in the Harry Potter series, the characters celebrate Christmas. Christmas has certainly brought some interesting things for Harry, some good, some not so good. During his time with the Dursleys, Christmas wasn't particularly a time to look forward to, as he never received any presents, and perhaps more importantly, he never had anyone he truly considered family or friends to spend it with. All of that changed, however, once he arrived at Hogwarts and took his place in the magical world. With that in mind, I thought it might be fun to take a look back at Harry's Christmases...
