Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    The site educates fans about all HP books and movies, the author, and how to collect memorabilia.
  • Messages:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Some mild profanity can appear in the chat rooms.
  • Consumerism:

    A few ads to support the site itself, but they aren't overbearing. There's a link to the "MuggleStore" filled with HP merchandise.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About MuggleNet

Parents need to know that there are a few ads, but they provide support for the site. Kids can get information about every Harry Potter book and movie, as well as background information on the storyline's creator, J.K. Rowling, through the varied network of the links. There are loads of chats, fun trivia, and games to play. The chat feature isn't obvious and does claim to "halt the relay of most messages containing profanity from entering a room," but "swearing guidelines permit the use of the less offensive words."

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the phenomena of Harry Potter. Why do you think the books and movies have taken off? If you were writing the next Harry Potter book, what would be the plot? How would you market the book? Families can also go to the "Name Origins" section of the site and quiz each other on different terms.

    Love It!

    This website is bookmarked on my computer, as I've been a Potter fan since age 5. (No one can tell ME that little kids can't read it!) I go there almost every day to stay updated on the news, and I've found a lot of info there. Perfectly age-appropiate for 5 and up, though some of the stuff is harder to understand. Visit it and try it out.
