Harry Potter Web Resources

Sunday July 17, 2005

Well, we got Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince at 3:45 Saturday afternoon, and my ten year old is now finished with it, Sunday morning, 8:23 AM, after reading it pretty much all night. Since he's bugging me for places to see on the Web about Harry Potter, I thought I would share some of our favorites with you.

HPANA.org: This is a Harry Potter news aggregator; it's won an official JK Rowling cool site award as well.

MuggleNet.com: "The Ultimate Harry Potter Site"; lots of good stuff here.
The Harry Potter Lexicon: Winner of a J.K. Rowling Fan Site Award, so you know it's gotta be good.
