What parents need to know

Parents need to know that on MuggleNet 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 and forum rules clearly state what's not tolerated and what the consequences are for breaking the rules. There are a few ads, but they provide support for the site. Parents should note that user-submitted fan fiction may be at a PG-13 level, and trailers on the site contain fantasy violence.

Educational value: The site educates fans about all HP books and movies, the author, and how to collect memorabilia.
Violence: The Harry Potter movie trailers show
fantasy violence. The trailers are rated appropriate for all audiences.
Sex: The site's posted rules state that fan-fiction submissions "may be PG-13, which will allow for scenes of violence, mild language, and implied sexual encounters." Fan fiction may also include same-sex fiction at a PG-13 level.
Language: The forums are closely monitored for offensive materials, but not
the chat rooms, there could be mild profanity 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 applicable.

What to talk about

Talk to your kids
  • 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.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

Created and maintained by older teens (and a smattering of twenty-somethings), this site offers everything a Harry Potter fan could want. In addition to the features mentioned above, there is a carefully monitored discussion forum with strict rules about what can be posted, including rules about what topics can be covered in fan fiction.

Similarly, the chat room seems well-intentioned and at the time of review, there were not any provocative screen names or off-topic posts. And the site does have a list of Harry Potter-related links it connects to, including some role-playing games that are more for adults than student wizards.

Online interaction: MuggleNet aims to have a positive atmosphere in chats and forums, and its rules for participation reflect this.

CHECK THIS SITE DAILY!
I love this site! For avid Harry POtter fans, it is the ULTIMATE source for movie and book release updates, and basically anything that has to do with Harry Potter! I check this site every day, as it is updated almost as often. They also have a podcast, Mugglecast, which is a show about everything and anything Harry Potter, and is great for major Harry Potter fans!

Great site for Potter fans!
This site includes news, podcasts, recipes, everything a Potter fan needs! Podcasts may not be appropriate for younger children. Most of the rest of the content is appropriate. Mugglenet is a great site.

Love It!
This is one of my favorite Harry Potter websites, because of all the information from the movies, books, JK Rowling herself and even other kids and adults who think they have something figured out. There is so much info you can spend hours on this site.

Big huge Harry Potter dork
I am a HUGE Harry Potter dork/freak, or whatever you would like to say. So, I think that Mugglenet is one of the greatest Harry Potter sites pretty much ever. They have everything, and pretty much anything you could ever want on that website.

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.

Fantastic!
Mugglenet is amazing! It's full of information and fun stuff, and it updates Harry Potter news almost immediatly! It's by far my favorite Harry Potter website! They also have podcasts called Mugglecast, and they're full of information! They hold podcasts just to discuss the new Harry Potter trailers also! They've been at the top of their game the whole time they've had this website, and they do a fantasic job!
