MuggleNet.com's What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7
As anticipation of the final Harry Potter book intensifies, a debate is raging among fans about what's in store for Harry and the rest of the gang at Hogwarts. In this book, the experts at MuggleNet.com present a wide range of hard facts and bold predictions about the most popular storylines, favorite characters, and final outcome of the Harry Potter saga. Drawing on their intimate knowledge of the previous six books, as well as tips and suggestions made by millions of MuggleNet.com fans (not to mention a personal interview with J.K. Rowling), the authors offer answers to the burning questions of Harry Potter readers everywhere: Will Hogwarts School be open for Harry's final year and will Harry even be in attendance? Will Harry's quest for the remaining Horcruxes be rewarded? Where do Severus Snape's true loyalties lie? And, most importantly, will Harry survive the final battle with Lord Voldemort?We're proud to announce that the first-ever book written by MuggleNet staff is now available for pre-order for only $11.95 (we tried to keep the price down) through our partner Alivan's.

didn't mean to do it three times. it wasn't loading...
YES!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES! !! I've been dreaming for something like this!! YES YES YES!! Im ordering three! (One for me and give the other two to my cousins) EMERSON POSTED!!! Again :D
why would you post negative comments about a book written by people that own the site you love so much? doesn't make sense. i think it's great. i love reading the stuff on this site and the ideas and theories because so much is pointed out that i so obviously missed while reading the books. these guys read so much in to what jo writes than i do. and after reading the interviews they have done with her, they aren't far off the mark. this book is written for someone just like me. reading will probably just get my mind working and thinking more about what will actually happen in book 7. i hope it does well to help support the site as well. anything that helps me continue to get my daily mugglenet fix is good in my book. :)
I agree with dobby_rocks. Making a profit over what others do for fun with theorising and speculating about the final book? You can honestly expect me to believe that Jo Rowling would support this, do you? No one's opinions and ideas about the end of the series are any better than anyone else's, but you don't see me trying to make money from others, do you? This just feels very wrong, but it's all about making money, isn't it?
OHHH EMM GEEEE..wow this is the best night ever!!!!!!!!!! This AND the cards won the world series!!!!!!!!!!! Im having a perfect day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOO GO CARDINALS AND MUGGLENET!!!!!!!!!!
O M G!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMOGOMG! *BOUNCES UP AND DOWN* I WANT A COPY! OMGSH! *is soo happy* i always wanted mugglenet to publsih a book. Or even start a movie. this is going to earn so much money for mugglenet/mugglecast! Now if only jamie would sell his boxers on e-bay or something.....*i'd buy 'em*....for all those fan s out there
Ohhh, I was just thinking about book7 tonight -- adn I was about to cry. But now, i'm really going to cry! I'm blind, so I can't jsut pick the book up. Oh, MuggleNet, come out with a braille versian!!!!!!!! P.S.: Nice to hear from yoo, Emerson.

ooooooooooooh my magic god! this is so awesome guys! the onli problem is that I'm from Argentina and I don't think the book will be available here... :S but it's still great news, I guess... at least for those who can get it... Please let us know if the book will ever be available in South America... pretty please! good luck with all of your new projocts! greetings from the south!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA. jamie lawrence. ben schoen. and the man himself. OMG
I am so going to get this book! And Jamie just has to be last again?*Goes and begs parents for money to buy it with*(Glad to see you post Emerson)
I normally support everything MuggleNet does and I wish all of you the best of luck...but it irks me a bit that 100% of the proceeds go to the site. It seems like it's just another venture cashing in on Jo's fabulously imaginative series. I know MuggleNet has more honorable intentions than most, but I still wish at least a portion could go to one of Jo's favorite charities (personally, I suggest MS, as my mother has this disease). Needless to say, I won't be buying the book. If any other MuggleNet fans feel as I do, please be vocal about it because we know the comments are read on occasion. The MuggleNet staff is very loyal to their fans, so if they saw that there was a real desire for something like this, I know they would take it into consideration. Keep up all the great work, staff and fans alike.. :)
yayyy!!! i'm excited... i literally have no money.. but maybe i can get as a christmas gift! i hope so!
i just wanna know who made the staff here experts??????
Okay i really want to get it but, I cant pay over internet, i have no money at the moment, but if it was in stores i could buy it convince my mum to give me some money, so is it going to be in stores???? especially in Australia!!
Omg! finally stuff on book 7. How kool! I NEED TO GET ONE!!
This is VERY cool!!!!! although (some of you will probubly hate me for this but,) right now i'm well, i just want to wait for the hp book to come out! I want the ending to be a complete surprise!!! but anyhow, Congrats!!!!
There are quite a few books out like this that have not been authorized by Jk Rowling, Warner Bros, or anyone associated with the Harry Potter Books or movies. "The Ultimate Unnoficial Gude to the Mysteries of Harry Potter" (which covers books 1-4) is much like this one mugglenet is producing, just a little different. It analyzes what has happened in the books so far, and gives you their theories, while giving you tools and encouraging you to find things out yourself. This book Mugglenet is producing is not their version of the seventh book. It is all of the clues, what they consider vital information, and theories compiled into a simple volume so you don't have to scrape over the internet to find them all. I have found numerous books like these in popular bookstores such as Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million, and JK or WB has not sued anyone to my knowledge, and to top it all off, Jo is a friend of mugglenet. I'd bet you a million galleons that theres a disclaimer in "MuggleNet.com's What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7", actually, there's probably more than one.
Well luckily my friends have secret santa, I'll just hint to them all about it... but buying it online? Perhaps. If they order it now it comes out in two weeks and then take 6 weeks to get to Aus! That's December I think. Yay for fan-written books! They fuel us until '08 when book seven comes out.
OMG!!! This is so awesome! Gongrats Mugglenet. I'm buying one!
American dollars? This book better come out in UK too!
Hearing this news, I just thought it would be appropriate to post a excerpt from the MuggleCast 52 transcript. ---------- ------------------------- ------------------------- -------------------- L istener Rebuttal - Write a Book ----------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ------------- Jamie: Oh, I thought that was extremely good. Extremely good. Okay, this is from Don't Know and Not Sure. Their ages combined, which is 28. I don't know if that's 28 each and we have to combine that or if its 28 in total. But they say: "Hey, guys and Laura..." And Claire - don't forget. "This is Don't Know and Not Sure and we have an idea to solve your financial problems. Write a book together! All the real Harry Potter fans will buy it and then you can stop begging us to buy t-shirts and making excuses about how our other... [Claire laughs] Jamie: ...shirts will explode. Because they won't. They will, they will. Your shirts will explode! "We hope you take our brilliant advice. Love the show, bye!" Ben: What irony! Jamie: Yes, thank you, Don't Know and Not Sure. We are writing a book, making a film... [Everyone laughs] Jamie: ...going into the real estate business, building cruise liners... Andrew: But, come on, seriously. Why on Earth would we write a book? That doesn't make sense. Ben: That doesn't make any sense. Jamie: That doesn't make any sense at all. Ben: I would not want to be involved with that. Jamie: No, I tell you why, because the effort - especially if there's a deadline or something, you know? Like, I mean, I just, I don't know. Andrew: Like September 1st. That's just outrageous. Jamie: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah that is stupid, that is stupid. But, thank you, Don't Know and Not Sure for caring about us.
this is quite the big step for mugglenet! im proud of you guys! i would buy it if i had money (darn art school taking all my money) but im pretty sure i know all the predictions in the book anyway so i shouldnt spend money on it when i can spend it on food or paintbrushes
DAYUM MUGGLENET IS LAYING DOWN THE POWAH. POWAH TO YOU FRIENDS
I think it's a fantastic idea! But I don't think I'll buy it. I REALLY haven't got the time for intense Harry Potter speculations. Can't wait for book 7!
awesome i want that book but i can't get it in this stupid country i wanna go back to america :-(
that is so INTRUIGING!! i want that book so bad...but my parents don't like me to buy it!grrrrrrrrrrrrr!! oh well,i'll just wait for the final book to come out! and maybe my parents might agree to buy it!wahahahahahaha!!!
I think it's great they wrote a book about it. It seems a great way to put all kinds of theories and facts and stuff in one solid place. I disagree with the people who say oh they shouldn't write it, the proceeds shouldn't go to mugglenet. Mugglenet is a fansite. That book is a fanbook in a way. HP fans don't have to buy it just like HP fans don't have to visit Mugglenet. The proceeds go to Mugglenet the fansite, which is run for the fans, by the fans blah blah blah etc. Also with a thing as popular as Harry Potter there are going to be books written about just like there are fanfics written and podcasts and editorials and all that jazz. Anyway as I haven't actually read the book yet I can't really make a judgement about it. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Anyhoo good luck to Emerson, Ben, Andy, Gretchen, and Jamie
Good luck to Emerson, Ben, Andy, Gretchen and Jamie
Okei, so this is terrific!! :), a bit like mini christmas or something and I so want this book! But when will it be published???? can one buy it even though one isn´t from USA?
Oh, and I wonder what Jo thinks about this, maybe she will mention it on her website!? I really hope this book will be popular and be published in stores.
Wow, that looks brilliant!
Sweet!
Well, I guess that's great for the mugglenet staff....but I won't buy it, at least not until I read book7. It will ruin all the surprise.
Discovered by me ages ago. Check out the board where it happened and to talk about it - http://mugglecastfan.net/ forums/viewtopic.php?t=27 20&postorder=asc&sid=b809 6ae5518de6db85268a56f13cc 46a
Hmmm ... I love Mugglenet of course as this is the site I used for the past 4 years. But lately I think they're becoming a little greedy. Take a look at how many ads they have on the home page ! I don't think that they have more visitors now than 1 or 2 years ago, but they have packed the site with ads. Take Leaky for example ... just 4 Google ads at the bottom of the page, and 1 Banner at the top - That's it. I can tell you for sure that Mugglenet is making much more than it needs for hosting - I am an Internet Marketer and I know how things work. I'm not saying they don't deserve to make a lot of money, it's just that I think they are pushing it a little.
Well, I don't know how much money a site needs to keep running smoothly, Ionut, but what I do know and see is that Mugglenet is doing a great job, seriously and responsibly. They deserve to make something out of it I think. No one is forcing people to buy the book or any of the things on the ads. The fact that it has many ads just shows how popular the site is. "Greedy" is too harsh a word.
I dunno..It Might Spoil some of the surprises. A really smart fan might predict something that's really close to or exactly what is going to happen and so when we actually get down to the reading, we'll go.. "darn that was so expected!"
Um, yeah POTTERMUST, but how likely is that? To put it simply people, if you don't like it, DON'T BUY IT.
The nintendo Wii is coming out on November 19!
I agree with the more negative comments, although some of them are quiet harsh. I really don't mind supporting the site as they do a great job. But spending money to read oppinions you can partly find on this site, partly on other sites is a bit too much for me. It does come across a bit as money-making. I know most of the money goes to this site, as you stated in another news-thread how much this site costs a year. But what about the rest of the money? What if there is much more money coming out of this than the site needs? Will you keep it for yourself? Will you donate it?
I Might not buy it cause it might spoil the book so idk....i probualy wont cause i wont every min of the 7th Book to last! So Thanks But no Thanks....sory well we all know That Harry Potter books is the best series on the planet!!! So Thats why i wont every min of the 7th Book to Last cause the series is coming to a end! But i will Always Read these books even after the 7th Book is out! Well good luck with every thing Mugglenet!! And Jo u Are Really the Best Author on the Planet!! Keep on Writing Cause You Rock!! We All love u Jo!
Awesome! I totally want it! Hey, 3 day late Xmas present... Will request it!
Don't we get this stuff for free on this site and by listening to Mugglecast?
Kinda cool, yet kinda lame....I mean anyone could get a small group of huge fans together and write a book and get it published..but whatever =] I probably won't buy it, but if I see it anywhere I'll look through it. Might be cool to have, though, just to see how much my theories match theirs and how off everyone really was after reading book7. Lol.
AWESOME! i hope you guys are going to Borders and Barnes and Noble sell it too!
and been said writing a book would be dumb! great idea guys. what is the offiial release date?
Fun Fun Fun! I still have to convince my mom into letting me order it!
Interesting book...If it will be published in Italy I think I will buy it. Surely even if it will be in english. Since I read the first Harry Potter I've read other very very interesting books (four or five) about the HP's world!
