What's It About?
MUGGLENET.COM offers visitors news stories, rumors, trivia questions, plot theories, a newsletter, games, and much more. Read brief synopses of the books, learn what J.K. Rowling's cryptic dedications may mean, pore over explanations of such mysteries as horcruxes, and submerge yourself in Potteriana. There's an encyclopedia of creatures, spells, potions, and places, too. There's a games section, with Shockwave games involving quidditch, hippogriff herding, and spellcasting. Real fans will score high on the trivia games, and even muggles will do OK with the Harry Potter matching games and jigsaw puzzles.
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.
