We're currently paging through it and will be doing so over the next few hours. Once we're finished, we're going to spend all day posting some of the most interesting tidbits. Stay tuned!!!

You guys should just repeat the Memerson wedding joke year after year. That joke will never get old, ever. =)


Posted by Jubexchix Apr 1st 2008

And I just realized what day it is on the East Coast. Lameness. I feel bad about myself now...I also feel sad that it isnt true. Now I'm depressed and still have exams. SAD DAY.

Posted by huffleclaw666 Apr 1st 2008

HAHAH!. April Fools.


Posted by HollyCassadine87 Apr 1st 2008

Lol aw man, if this is a prank, its a cruel one. Jeez, i was flipping out there for a few moments. I almost called my friends lol.


Posted by BlackKat Apr 1st 2008

Wow that was quick!


Posted by gossipgirl_xxjas Apr 1st 2008

oohhhh you totally had me going there for a second!! good one though, nice and subtle. I remember YEEAARRSS ago when I was younger and more innocent, I went on to mugglenet on April 1 and it said the site had been removed due to copyright infringement. I stared at the screen blankly with my mouth open for a good 10 minutes before I realised! haha


Posted by Lydstar Apr 1st 2008

I HATE YOU FOR FOOLING ME gah


Posted by yellowhippo Apr 1st 2008

this is too much like last year's!


Posted by Aliwali Apr 1st 2008

This joke sucks compared to memerson...memerson...ah, the memories


Posted by Serinity Apr 1st 2008

Oooh, brilliant! I was waiting to see what would happen this year! Can't wait to see it all unfold :D


Posted by BlackKat Apr 1st 2008

I'm an idiot.


Posted by frenchbread Apr 1st 2008

haha! Nice try. ;)


Posted by h0t_ch33t0s Apr 1st 2008

HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY LOL i really wanna see the "tidbits" they're gonna put up haha


Posted by Alanna Apr 1st 2008

Uh huh, sure...


Posted by HPFANTimothy Apr 1st 2008

This is just way too conincidental. And besides, Jo mentioned in her interview previously that she had ages to work on the encyclopedia, and that she wouldn't have it finished in a while. And why would she give it to MuggleNet? If she were to give it to MuggleNet, she would do so personally NEXT MONTH when she's goes to America for the whole Lexicon court case buisness. This just has to be an April Fools. Although, if it were true... awesome! On a lighter note... HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY! I took a leaf out of Bart Simpson's bad book and shook up all my dad's VB cans (VB is Victoria Bitter, and Australian beer.) God he got so peeved :]


Posted by Boogie_Shoes Apr 1st 2008

haha idk guys...this is a little weak. you're slipping. :-) i was hoping for something a little more elaborate like the mugglenet/leaky cauldron merger.


Posted by NicoleM Apr 1st 2008

::Evil Laugh:: I was thinking what Mugglenet was up to and thought "Oh maybe they won't do anything for April Fool's day." Haha! Not falling for this. Anyway...HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY! But seriously, I cannot wait for the encyclopedia. I bet there might even be a Midnight party at B&N! I thought since Deathly Hallows there wouldn't be anymore. I can always hope! =)


Posted by rattyrowe Apr 1st 2008

Happy April Fools to you too, Mugglenet!


Posted by LindsayS Apr 1st 2008

*sigh* this totally does NOT beat the Memerson or the Shut Down By Lawyers pranks! You guys are losing your touch! Who knows, it may be too soon to tell! I'll be looking forward to all the fun little FACTUAL tidbits! :{PP


Posted by MuggleMoi Apr 1st 2008

OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!


Posted by wandless Apr 1st 2008

OH MY GOSH!!!! THIS IS LIKE CRAZY NEWS!!!!!!! I just updated the April Fools 08 page to include your little prank.


Posted by MuggleMoi Apr 1st 2008

They get me every year! How funny! I'm starting to not like April Fool's Day; I'm so gullible. ;)


Posted by mrsdanradcliffe Apr 1st 2008

lol


Posted by tiassa Apr 1st 2008

Its not their fault that nothing can beat the Memerson prank though I agree the Shut Down By Lawyers prank was close. I remember seeing it and before I even finished the sentence I double clicked the refresh button out of pure panic.


Posted by EloquentPhoenix Apr 1st 2008

Happy April Fools! Last year's is still my favourite, but I was unprepared this year since I'd forgotten the date. It took me a couple of seconds of: No way... Oh, wait, what date is it? Thank you for the smile x


Posted by sugarzero Apr 1st 2008

voldy just walked in my back door april fools!


Posted by Alex Apr 1st 2008

NOOO! I thought mugglenet was gonna do a spiderwicknet thing and turn all twilight/LotR/Narnia/spid erwick. Does this mean mugglecast is actually gonna be doing that lame split! NOOO!


Posted by tiassa Apr 1st 2008

I thougt that too Alex.(Not that I believe MC) It would be much cooler if they would have just change the name to Spiderwick.net.


Posted by Spirit Apr 1st 2008

Oh man, if only this was true. Gah


Posted by Maagdelykheid Apr 1st 2008

i call lies on this one. happy april fools.


Posted by honorsgeek Apr 1st 2008

ha. good joke. happy april fools.


Posted by noram Apr 1st 2008

I was fooled for like a second and then I realised it was an April Fools joke. Has anyone seen Andrew's lj profile/blog thing and seen his post about April Fools? I'm really excited to see what things MN is going to post. I really hope MuggleCast doesn't do that split.


Posted by moviebuff Apr 1st 2008

haha nice try guys but this one's not as good as 'LeakyMug'. that one was hilarious! April Fools though!


Posted by Tom_F Apr 1st 2008

Even Luna Lovegood could see through this.
