Once upon a time, a 12-year-old kid was suffering from crushing boredom. He thought it would be fun to make a website. So he did. And at first, it completely sucked. Then he got really, really obsessed. He quickly found other obsessed fans -- and you know the rest!
HarryPotter.com just wasn't giving us enough of what we wanted, so we took matters into our own hands: MuggleNet is a 10 year long project of collective success involving millions of passionate Harry Potter fans from every corner of the Earth. Every fan contributed in some way - whether it was posting news, submitting fan fics, or engaging in discussion on forums while we went delusional waiting for each book. WOW, has it been fun!
We'll be posting fun new features throughout the month looking back at the past 10 years, so stay tuned. Embarrassing baby photos of Andrew Sims are likely. T-shirts possible. Thank you, MuggleNetters, for your continued support!
How long have you been with us?

WOW, EMERSON SPARTZ AND I ARE LIKE BLOOD BROTHERS! Ten years ago, in October 1999, a bored kid who couldnt stop Reading goosebumps and watch Spider-Man all day got dragged into Barnes and Noble by his parents. His Dad bargained with him that if he promises to read a book, that he can have a Spider-Man Video Game. Some lady introduced this Weird Dorky looking kid riding on a broomstick trying to catch something gold with wings for me to read.. it was the first Harry Potter book, and I didnt like the way it looked one bit! I thought it was going to be a STUPID book... so i bought it anyway just for the sake of the Spider-Man game... BOY WAS I WRONG ABOUT HARRY POTTER! It amazes me that Im one of the FIRST kids in AMERICA to read the books when it came out in roughly a year, and i did it through Bargaining with my parents lol. Now Im 20 and Harry Potter has changed my life! :) Thank God for that, and thanks for Emerson!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUGGLENET!!! Love the new layout, and I love how when you click on "fun" it goes right to the Wall of Shame! Made me laugh out loud! Again, happy 10th, and we love you! (Well obviously we love you, why else would we be on here? The ads?)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 15:43:27

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 15:44:07
Im seriously getting teary-eyed with nostalgia. Ive been with you guys for about seven of those ten years, and this just reminds me of how thoroughly Harry Potter has changed my life. I can honestly say that without HP I would be an entirely different person.

I have been here 2 and half years. Started commenting in the news posts and made a full ton of friends. I got to meet in friends I made from this website. One from Italy and one from Pittsburgh. (I live in Michigan) I have also spoken to three others (California, Canada and Lebanon) on the phone. While the Cheesecakians no longer post on here, we are still together and have to thank MN for it all. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND CONGRATS!!!

YAY! Happy birthday mugglenet! I love this place, its been my homepage for years!
The early mugglenet page is funny, "A question mark denotes that either Im not sure what the name is, or I do not know at all". xD Awesome.
I wont get too mushy, but this website has really meant a lot to my life.

Ive only been a huge MuggleNet fan since 2007, and I cant believe I never really looked at fansites till then! I cant tell what an improvement it was! All the laughs and heartwarming stories have made everything great! It always cheers me up! Its amazing what you guys have done here. MuggleNet is an amazing contribution to the Harry Potter fandom! I found it hysterical that the link for fun leads to the Wall of Shame -- it proves how awesome the world is. Oh and the layout is amazing. I like breast cancer awareness ribbon. Harry Potter fans contributing to world in MANY ways.

Ah, as a birthday gift you get a Patented "dark_lordess" speech riddled with several HP references. Once, long ago (about 2 years ago), My grand parents gave me HBP and DH as Christmas presents. ("Gee, thanks grandma...) But lo-and-behold for school I had to read a novel. Seven months ago(Yes, 7!!! woo, what luck MNs b-day in the 7th mo. of my potter obsession!) I picked up HbP and read the whole series in two weeks. In five months I had read the series 6 times, wrote several fanfics, reviewed thirty times as much, saw all 5 movies(at the time), and discovered mugglenet. Thank you all. Nitwit Oddment Blubber Tweak!

Happy Birthday!!! I love birthdays. Ive been following MuggleNet for about 5 years, I was a little late entering the Harry Potter scene. But one day I was walking through a store and they were showing one of these HP movies and I figured I would rent the movies just to see what all the hype was about... and I was hooked.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 18:12:13
WOW!!!! Happy Birthday Mugglenet and congrats Emerson for this great website. I have been coming here for about 5 years and was so happy to find out about the many other obsessed people in the world. Harry Potter has changed my life since I started reading at age 9 and Mugglenet has helped me stay excited through waiting for book releases and especially now when there is only two movies left to wait for. I love all you guys and cant wait for those baby pics :)

I am proud to say that I have been with Mugglenet since I was about ten years old- 6 years ago. I was searching for Harry Potter fansites and the ones that I had come accross jusy didnt seem sufficient enough. It was then that I stumbled onto Mugglenet. I have not been able to litreally go a day with visiting this site and catching up on the Potter news. Thanks Mugglenet for being a great site that none of the other fansites can top!
GO MUGGLENET!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 19:00:24
Ugh. I have to correct my above comment. I meant to say :
1) that the other fansites just werent sufficient enough.
2) I cant go a day without visiting this site.
:)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 19:08:44

Congrats to everyone who works really hard to put this website together, and i cant wait for the years to come!!! Happy 10th Birthday mugglenet!!!! :)

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 19:23:05
Thank you, Mugglenet, for being such a fantastic resource! Ive relied on you for over five years, since I first was bit by the Potter bug. You make me smile! (And you GMH!)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 19:26:44
Happy Birthday Mugglenet! Ive been coming on this site for about 2 and 1/2 years. I first found out about Harry Potter when i was seven. My second grade teacher read a chapter of it every day at story time and after that I begged my mom to read the other books to me. She read a few of the other ones but for some reason I couldnt pay attention, so she stopped, although I was a huge fan of the movies. So about five years later when I was in the seventh grade my grandmother bought me Ootp for Christmas, but I just put it under my bed. Then HBP came out. She bought it for me the day it was released because she thought I wanted it. I felt bad that I didnt read the fifth or sixth book, so I decided to read them and after that I got hooked. That was a few years ago though. Now im almost 17 years old and I dont know what I would do if my Nana hadnt got me those books. I should probably thank her for it, but most of all, I should thank mugglenet for creating this amazing website. THANK YOU EMERSON!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUGGLENET!! Ive been with you 8 ( I was 13 and now Im 21) of those 10 years and I never go anywhere else for my HP info. The whole Harry Potter experience I had growing up wouldnt have been the same without you. Hp and mugglenet go hand in hand. Thank you for all the hard work. I hope youre around for many more years.
A loyal and obssesed fan,
Justine

|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 20:02:13
I honestly cant remember when I started following Mugglenet, but I think it was about when I discovered the books when GOF came out, and I have checked it probably several times a day ever since. Im 68 (I know, almost as old as Dumbledore himself), and work in an Elementary School library, so you also give me a lot of "conversation starters" to get new fans interested in the books!
Keep up the fantastic work!

Ya MuggleNet!!!!! I love how Emerson linked the word "fun" to the Wall of Shame, LOL! What crazy people ...... but this feels sooooo great. I discovered MuggleNet about 4 years ago and to think that I still come here every single day....haha, Harry Potter isnt just a book, its a lifestyle! :P

Happy birthday, Mugglenet! Like others, I discovered this site on google just looking for some harry potter info. I never imagined there was a whole Harry Potter fan community out there with web sites, forums, podcasts, fanfics, and more. It was before GOF came out, as I remember laughing hysterically at the picture of ron in his dress robes that you guys had posted. Thank-you soooo much for everything you do, you make my days brighter and scratch my hp itch. :-)

Happy Birthday Mugglenet!!!! I discovered Mugglenet between 2001 and 2003, but I cant remember exactly when. I have always loved Mugglenet and I am so glad Emerson made this site 10 years ago! Mugglenet is one of the sites that I must visit at least once a day! =) (p.s. love the new layout!)

As if its been 10 years!
Ive been with you guys since about 2003 when I was an awkward 13-year-old and the only Harry Potter fan amongst my class and friends. You guys lead me to all good things Harry Potter; fanfictions, forums, podcasts etc. It makes me almost a bit teary eyed to think were all still here after all seven books have come and gone.
Keep up the good work and thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!
Love Meg :)

When I open my web browser there you are. Truthfully, I dont know how I could ever replace that need I have for Potter community which this site so beautifully fulfills. Thanks for the time, energy, creativity and love that goes into making this such an outstanding place to visit.

I stumbled on MuggleNet when I wanted more updates on the Harry Potter movies and wasnt getting it from the WB site. I at that time was interested on news and up dates with the up coming books. At first I was going between a few other sites but then found this one was the most up dated and they seem to sort out the rumor fact from rumor fiction. Not everything has been 100% news I felt was needed some times garbage seemed to show up but over, some no fault of the MuggleNet how ever over all I since I been coming here almost daily it still is hard to believe all was started by a 12 year old boy. Some sites started by adults have never amounted to much. Somehow like JKR you seem to have the right touch. Good Luck, Continue the good work. :) ( most of all thanks for giving us a site we can know will give us nothing but the straight forward facts, information, and just plain old fun site to come to)

Man, I couldnt have gotten through all the waiting between books and films without you guys. Seriously, between you and FanFiction, I would have gone insane! Being able to come here to MuggleNet and read the latest news on HP, and read what others were thinking, and share what I had to say with other like-minded Pot-heads has been a great escape. Congrats on ten years, heres to ten more.
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 23:34:56
Congratulations! Wow, you guys have been around since the 90s. That seems like so long ago.
Stay strong, wonderful, and amazing!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 23:44:51
LMAO @ the original layout! They sure have come a long way. I cant believe Emerson was only 12 when he created mugglenet! Now hes in his 20s and hes about to get married! Its crazy!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-01 23:48:47
Ten years! WOW! Congradulations!! Thank you for all your Potter news and making my friends think, no, know I am the crazy Harry Potter girl. I have been here from high school to college. 7 years strong!! Thank you for being the first site I visit, and and the third, and fifth...

I found Harry Potter books in 2001. I found Mugglenet about a few years later. I kept going to a place called Harry Potter.com. I didnt care for it, but every now and then someone would mention Mugglenet. Then I saw an artitcle in my local newspaper about Emerson. He was getting ready for college. He nentioned how he started Mugglenet. so, I checked out the site. Havent regretted it since. But I wasnt sure about looking at the COS. forum. So, I didnt start posting there until ten months ago. I loved the Editorials and I love Mugglecast. I started listening to it around the 40th or 50th episode. I went back to the beginning episodes, and I really enjoyed listening to it. I am an older college student, and Mugglecast helped me many a time while I did algebra homework. Thank you Mugglenet, Mugglecast and Emerson. I hope JKR would do an interview with you and Melissa again.

Congratulations on your 10th Birthday. You guys have done an awesome job at keeping Mugglenet fresh and exciting while appealing to Potter fans of all ages. As a 38 year-old Potter fan, I have never felt like I was visiting a Kids site, etc. As for how long Ive been here, I would estimate about 4 or so years. Thank you for keeping things up beat, refreshing. Here is to many more years. Keep up the awesome work.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-02 00:49:30
WWOOOWWWW this is so awesome. I first came to Mugglenet in 2007 when I picked up the book "Mugglenets what will happen in harry potter 7" and was obsessed with the book and therefore checked out the website. Well, thats kind of a lame story but Mugglenet is amazing and I totally wish I wouldve discovered it sooner! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-02 00:56:22
Congratulations MuggleNet! You rock! The new layout is cool, btw :). Ive only been around here for something more then 2 years (I think). I hadnt been on any other fansites yet (as far as I can remember) and it took my quite a while to figure out how to make an account to comment :P. Id never seen the old layout before.. :). (oh, and linking fun to the WoS? :P). Every time I read the word delusional I just have to laugh. Emerson, thanks you so much for getting bored back then!!

Happy Birthday Mugglenet! Ive been looking at the site since I was about 9 or 10. I just turned 18 last Tuesday. So it has been a major part of my link to other obssessed fans of HP out there. Ive gotten really into it since a year and a half ago and the only Harry Potter site Ill go to is Mugglenet. So thanks a lot Emerson and the rest of MN crew for putting together such a great site!

I discovered MuggleNet sometime in 2002, shortly after Id discovered the books, and Ive hardly missed a day, since! Thanks for all youve done for Potterphiles all over the world and I hope Im still around to vote for Emerson when he runs for POTUS, because Ive been waiting for that for a long time. A "First Decade" t-shirt will do, in the meantime.
And thank you for the new layout -- its wonderful!

wow...ten years of mugglenet!
have to say, in the 3 and a half years that Ive been visting this site its made a huge impact on my life.
Its the times at the start of 07 when i would sit for hours refreshing the homepage incase the news of the title or the cover art broke, the excitment with every new episode of mugglenet, saving for weeks to pay my $50 international charge for picklepack ( still waiting on my t-shirt!lol!), in the last few weeks when someone i loved died...i sometimes feel that the escapism of mugglenet and mugglecast is the only thing keeping me afloat.
Basically thank you so much for everything you do. I feel like i have grown up with mugglenet and mugglecast and, not to be melodramatic, i dont know what i would be without it.
Although the fandom is dying down Harry Potter and mugglenet will always be a huge part of me.

happy birthday mugglenet!
ive had an official account on and off for like five years, but ive always looked at this site whenever i needed a harry fix. id say at the very least 2002- i originally just came on the site to get the secret codes to get behind jk rowlings "do not disturb" door on her website when it was open.

Hey Happy 10th Birthday Mugglenet! I found you when I was bored surfing the net all the way back in 2004 and when I found this site I spent 3 hours going through all the pages cos I love Harry Potter that much and this site is fantastic! Thanks for the only ultimate Harry Potter site on the web!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-02 13:37:15
I actually found you guys through twilightsource - Id just been introduced to the Twilight series by a friend, and went looking for podcasts. Imprint was the best I found by far, and when I went to look at twilightsource I saw a mention about mugglenet, and thought oh, a Harry Potter fansite, that sounds cool - Ill check it out. Little did I know it would rekindle my love for the books and place me firmly in the Potter nerd category for life - and I couldnt be more thankful to you guys!!!!
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-02 16:19:38
Wow...10 years ago, I was just learning to read. (Harry Potter came a year later.) Now I visit MuggleNet everyday and I read constantly. Thank you Emerson! Happy Birthday, MuggleNet.

Back in 2001 when I got hooked on to PoA (which was required for Reading class and I decided to read it beforehand to pass time) and Harry Potter himself, I made friends with this girl in my class who also loves Harry Potter. She showed me Mugglenet in our computer lab and the world of fanfiction. We had our own little world! Up to this day, she remains my longest and closest best friend. So thank you so much for everything, Mugglenet! And also for giving me one of the most kickass girls Ive ever met. =P

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-05 15:00:27
Wooooooooo!!
I here announce that I am the BIGGEST Harry Potter fan in the world.
Ive been with MuggleNet since late 2003 early 2004 when I was reading PoA, the 1st HP book I read, which was the "novel" part of our 9th grade English course
But this is MY 1ST COMMENT on the site!
Im so proud to be a MuggleNetter, Happy B-day my best friend =)
|
Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-06 00:11:03
wow, i really have been with mugglenet for a LONG time. thanks for helping me survive the gaps between the books and movies! btw, anyone remember when the first mugglenet t-shirts went on sale and a huge epic argument broke out in the comments? i think it was over what qualified you as a nerd depending on when your first kiss was and if you would wear a harry potter shirt in public... good times, good times.

Posted by: - Posted on: 2009-10-06 09:13:42
10 year anniversary t-shirts would be AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please lol
