Tired of fighting with your friends about which Harry Potter film is the best? Which score deserves a Grammy? Which actor, professor, or student, deserves the most accolades for their performance? MuggleNet has your solution: Harry Potter Oscars!
We at MuggleNet, while fans of books, are also fans of films - and can't agree, AT ALL, about which Potter film is the best (My fav is DHP1. Alexandra, PoA. Eric, CoS. Keith, OoTP. Sensing the trend?) So we decided to provide you a way to decide once and for all which Potter film 'rules them all' (see what I did there LOTR fans?).
For the next two weeks cast your vote in 30 categories & over 100 nominees (determined by fandom experts & MuggleNet Staff using official Oscar nomination rules), including traditional Oscar categories like "Best Director" and "Best Composer" but also Potter-ized categories like "Best Pet Performance" and "Best Wand Design". Check out our YouTube channel to watch all of the Official Nomination videos, then head over to our Oscars page to vote.
Then, on February 24th, be sure to join us for the live show! Put on your favorite ballgown (or, your footie Ravenclaw PJ's!) and join your favorite MuggleNet staff as we announce the winners LIVE! You never know who may show up...so be sure to join us!
Which Potter film are you pulling for?

Eighteen years ago today, Harry Potter entered the prefects bathroom on a tip from Cedric Diggory. He started the water running and submerged the mysterious golden egg in the bath at Moaning Myrtle's suggestion, for she had seen the other boy do the same. Harry ducked his head under the water and famously heard the following:
“Come seek us where our voices sound, We cannot sing above the ground, And while you’re searching ponder this: We’ve taken what you’ll sorely miss, An hour long you’ll have to look, And to recover what we took, But past an hour — the prospect’s black, Too late, it’s gone, it won’t come back.”
Upon hearing this song, Harry realized that the next task of the Triwizard Tournament would take place within the Black Lake, would involve Merpeople, and something... stolen from him. We suspect you have a pretty good idea about what happens next!
Were you aware that today (January 21st) had this relatively minor Harry Potter anniversary attached to it? Likely not, but what if you had a calendar that had all of the significant dates from the Potter series timeline already on it? MuggleNet has created a Fandom Calendar for the year of 2013 which comes with all of the birthdays of the book characters and film actors, dates of Potter conventions, and all holidays important in our Muggle world clearly labeled.
We guarantee this is the most magical calendar you will ever own, so why not purchase it now for yourself, your friend or a family member in this new year? It's only available until January 31st, so be sure to get it now before it's gone...FOREVER.

On a lazy Sunday like this you may have just been absent-mindedly browsing Facebook, or maybe even listening to the new episode of Alohomora!, but we're willing to bet you didn't know just how important this day was to Harry Potter fans. Did you know today (January 13th) was the day Harry Potter began Occlumency lessons with Professor Snape - exactly 17 years ago?
Did you remember the date, or did we stump you? Surely you'd have to be some kind of super Harry Potter fan to remember an obscure date like that, right? Well... perhaps not!
For a little while now we have been promoting the new MuggleNet Fandom Calendar on our website - a 2013 calendar with all of the usual functionality of a normal calendar, but with a little extra magic. This unique calendar we're talking about already comes pre-marked with all of the most significant dates from the Harry Potter fandom, including birthdays of the characters/film actors, dates of notable Potter conventions, and even memorable dates from the book series, like this one.
Why not add a little magic to your daily routine with this new calendar created by the #1 Harry Potter Fan Site? We guarantee it's more fun to schedule your own important events alongside those from the wizarding world.
