Happy April Fool's Day to you lovely, MN staffers!
Well, I'm looking forward to the "interesting tidbits". Nice try, guys.
This is wicked and wonderful! :) You are going to wake a bunch of attorneys from their long winter's nap, hahaha. We can only say "As If" and wish you a Happy Fred and George's birthday. mahahahaha - good one!
Heh, finally didn't miss a Mugglenet April Fool's Day joke. I can die happy now.
omg. i was so excited for about half a second. haha
This is the same trick you pulled last year. Do a leaky mug again!
HAHA, good one. I remembered the big LeakyMug joke last year and had to come see what you cooked up this year. Not nearly as convincing though, I must say I was a shade disappointed. But I still loves me my Mugglenet :)
You need to do it just as April Fool's is starting in the first time zone, or as it is finishing in the last time zone. It's just too obvious now!! But good effort. I was wondering what it was going to be.
hmm actually on second thoughts i still think the Mugglecast split is a joke. Andrew's blog convinced me. Andrew's blog also made me kinda excited for what's to come over the next few hours. Hopefully a bit funnier than last years. I mean Harry breaking his pelvis on carrot cake or whatever... yeah no
the original "LeakyMug" will always be the best April Fools joke ever. :)
i agree w/ alison. nothing will top 'LeakyMug'!
This prank was way too obvious. Surely you could have come up with a better one than this. Still, it looks like you may have fooled a few people for a second.
yeah right, JK Rowling is going to send mugglenet information from her encyclopedia. Haha! I bet she hasn't even started writting it yet. This joke is mean really. But one thing that mugglenet did not post was that George marries Angelina and they have two kids Fred (we already know about him) and Roxanne. Thats big news they should post that. They made a big deal when they found out Neville married Hannah
@kerrman2004- they posted that with the rest of the weasley family tree when it came out
Lol - I came on especially to see the April fools joke so I guess i wasn't surprised. Can't wait to see what they write!
lol, you did not get me this time. Happy april fool
Haha......Very funny...I was waiting for some news of this sort...Its and April Fool's Day joke of course! Just like the one you did last time about DH spoilers! :)
Ah, very funny, but I'm sure this is just to set us off the trail of what is coming...unless this is true, which would be the best joke ever.
hahaha wow that would be amazing if it was true :) love you mugglenet!
pfft... i expected something better, but it has fooled alot of people
har har har, mugglecast used this last year.
Too similar to last year's joke, guys. The perfect prank would've been pretending to close down MuggleNet to make way for a Spiderwick fansite seeing as people were already peeved at the whole thing with Spiderwick.
omg. Andrew! Stop fooling some of us gullible people. Its funny though. HAHAHAHA! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO FRED AND GEORGE
Good try, guys! I actually fell for it for a minute. Happy April Fools Day!
HA HA mugglenet....I ain't falling for this one :P ha ha i was prepared for something this time unlike last year....good try andrew very funny XD
Happy birthday Fred and George!
here we go again...they shud know tht we're not stupid by now
I read that, jumped a little, then realized oh silly me, April Fool's everyone!
i just have to say that the COS Forums april fools joke is so much better lol.....omg i freaked out when i logged on!!! *goes back to it*
Awww. That was so obvious!! Everybody, take a look at HPFF.com. The members are so angry!!
AHHHHHH!!!! i so hate you guys! i was so taken in. haha. in all fairness, it is first thing in the morning, and im not as sharp as usual, my sis set my alarm an hr early (should have seen that coming, along with this : p )
Happy april fools! This would have been too good to be true. :) I can't wait to see the little (funny) tidbits you'll be posting.
See, this is obviously April Fool's. Question is, is the MuggleCast thing April Fool's too? Judging by fan response, we're all hoping for a "Yes, it's an April Fool's joke." Their best ones were the "MuggleNet is shut down due to court order for copyright infringement" and "Emerson and Melissa got married!"
i was on mugglenet in class and read it and i freaked out so badly. I started whispering to my friends rlly loudly and stuff. Then 10 seconds later I read the comments and realized it was April Fools and felt so bad!!!!! But I guess it was kind of funny. This is the first year they actually made me believe their joke was true! (i think it was coz i forgot it was april first and all, but STILL)
aw man. i just saw encyclopedia and got excited. then i read the whole thing. bahaha. idk what's more funny. the people who actually believe the joke, or the joke itself. :D
Happy April Fools Day! This year i already expected something like this.
I bet a lot of hopeful Harry Potter fans will fall for this. Muhahahaha *evil laugh* I'm lovin' it! I forgot it was April Fools until I went to MuggleNet and saw the news! I knew it was too good to be true. lol
Uh, the same April Fools joke was done last year, only with the MN staff receiving a copy of Deathly Hallows...Hm, I'm surprised with the lack of imagination for this year's joke......... :(
Wow. I expected better from you guys, seriously. LOL.
APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!! lol but I wish it was true
I was expecting more. Lol.
Haa... Crapheads, you got me all excited before I realised it's a joke... NOT funny :(
Now this one ismore subtle. Very good. Happy first!
GOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!! NO WAY!!! THIS IS SOOOO EXCITIGN!!!! hAHAHHAHAHAHA Wait, nu uh. she hasn't even finished it yet.
Happy April Fools!! I believed it for about a minute abnd hhen I was like wait... what? April fools I guess!
The copyright infringement one was the best.
Now, Andrew, I certainly hope this is not a joke. I strongly believe it is, except that this sort of joke would be just plan cruel! However, I never underestimate your wry sense of humor. =] I hope that the Harry/Hermione post made by the lovely Micah is the only joke for this year. If this is indeed a joke, I would expect many complaints from fans...possibly even more emails than the mishap on one episode of MuggleCast which fans so annoyingly informed you of multiple times. [I thought your reaction was hilarious...it made me love you even more!] Even if this is a joke, I cannot help but love you still. Happy April Fool's Day, Andrew! - Amanda B. from Colorado Springs
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, and I am J. K. Rowling, and I say Mugglenet is better than Leaky. AHA... you can do better than this, guys. You almost fooled me last year, but this year... nah-ah
is this a true thing or just an april fools day prank, i hope it is true though, and really, the harmony prank was HILLARIOUS and i still remember the Leakymug thing...oh, dat was a horror..........
