MuggleNet
From UnknowableWiki
MuggleNet is one of the largest Harry Potter fan sites on the web. It has a large news section, a fanfiction archive, several insightful editorials and a small encyclopedia, among others. Mugglenet hosts many contests from time to time, such as Halloween costume contests, contests to create book covers or write an ending to th series.
Developed by Emerson Spartz as a 12 year old, this is one of the older websites. Emerson is 19 now, and a sophomore at the University of Notre Dame.
MuggleNet has a tendency to cater to the younger crowd of Potter fans while TLC caters to the older crowd for no real reason other than the age of the people who run the site. Mugglenet is also much sillier than TLC, taking a more tongue-in-cheek approach to things.

MuggleCast
In August of 2005, Andrew Sims, Ben Schoen, and Kevin Steck began the famous "MuggleCast" podcast. Since then, the podcast has become one of the many obsessions of Potter fangirls. The show has expanded to include resident Brit Jamie Lawrence, Laura Thompson, Eric Scull, and Micah Tannenbaum. Each week a new episode is released in which the group discusses recent news, different aspects of the book, and just has fun talking to one another.
Wall of Shame
A feature that's Mugglenet's signature thing, this is a place where Emerson makes fun of various emails he gets. There's a separate section devoted just to emails from Harry/Hermione fans, who got really mad when Emerson called them "delusional" after the release of HBP.
Books
Mugglenet has published two books concerning the future of Harry Potter. One was published after Book 5 called "The Plot Thickens", which is a collection of essays published on the books. The second one, published a few months before Book 7 is called "MuggleNet.com's What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7" and provides the Mugglenet staff's predictions on what will happen in the last book.
