Mugglenet is published! Sounds like an interesting read; I wonder how many pages it is.

Sorry, its a good scam and all, might as well cash out before book 7 comes out. God knows there wont be much news after that except for the movies and all. Dont realy see the point in buying something that we can read on the site, among other sites for free, or hear in a podcast. I put my props up to you guys, might as well make a little money off HP like loads of other people are doing! oh yeah.. Yay 201?

I understand that you need to have a way to help out with operating this site. For that is a good reason to have this book. I cant support it for other reasons. No Offense it's just that i got sucked in the whole GW thing and was literally disappointed. I will never do that again.

"Profits from the purchase of the book go directly to us and help offset the rising costs of servers and web site operation." You mean "Emerson's College Education Fund", right? Yeah. Pathetic.

Everyone saying that this is crap and cannot believe that JKR would allow them to publish it, shut it! It's not an version of book 7, it's MN's view on the series and what has to happen, all the loose ends to tie up. This isn't any different from other books similar, _and_ it's something to help hold us over 'til book 7. And who knows how long until it's released, there hasn't even been a confirmed, released title! I, for one, plan on buying and reading it as soon as I convince my parents to let me use the credit card again.....

Oh...so it's just going to be like an editorial. I see. I knew it was going to be based on their theories about what is going to happen. I just thought it seemed like they were going to write a novel that incorporates their ideas of what's going to happen. I guess I was wrong. Sorry guys! But still, if it's just going to be a book of theories, that's nearly the same as listening to the podcasts and reading the tons of editorials that are already out there. I still think they could come up with something better...I don't know what though. Oh well...whatever floats their boat...

This is awesome, but the title of the book should be "What MIGHT Happen in Harry Potter 7," since no one but JKR herself knows for sure what is definitely going to happen. =)

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC! ANTI-MUG GLENET! POWER TO THE LEAKY CAULDRON!

i dont want 2 read this book cause they are just giving away the whole ending 2 the 7th book. i dont know about u but i want 2 wait till the 7th book comes out 2 figure otu what happens

Iv came up with another idea while i was watching "The Departed," and iv figured it out, they are taking other peoples theories and such, along with they'res and making a book, so there making money off other peoples ideas? hum... On top of that, if it isnt stuff that they have talked about on the site, or in the podcasts then that means they've been holding out on the mugglenet "fans." So either way you look at it, its shady. I under stand that its to "offset the rising cost of servers," but lets be honest... its a nice profit for yourselves, you figured, "HEY! LETS MAKE MONEY LIKE THE SCAMMERS ON EBAY! HOW CAN WE DO THAT AN PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK THAT WERE NOT? HUM.. WRITE A BOOK!! THATS GREAT!" Well i for one am not going to buy one, and think that it would be a waste of time/money for anybody else to.

I HATE IT, IT IS JUST MONEY-GRABBING. I hate all these types of books, it is nothing personal, it is within you right to make money out of your name and the Hary Potter Hype, I am sure Mugglenet isn't the only one doing it.

Ow and you say only 11.85 dollars, i say that much for absolutely nothing new, i mean come on, what can you have written that has not been written on the internet a countless times, without perhaps some JKR comments, all of wich will probably be found on the internet boards within a couple of weeks, thus making the book buying utterly and completely useless.

I don't think half of you understand how expensive it is to run and maintain a site that is the size, and has the number of visitors as MuggleNet does. HOW is it being greedy to have ads and write a book when all the money goes to pay the enormous sum to provide this site to the general public? It's not. It's smart. I fully support it, and have already preordered a copy. :) & by the way....nice pen names. ;)

Please, I´m sorry to ask this but when will it actually be AVAILABLE??? They have written that one can PREorder it so Im just wondering? And I wouldn´t like to order it through internet, will it come out in stores?? I need more information. But apart from those eh..few questions, great that they have written one!! :)

Lolz Jessica, it is expensive but it aint all that expensive, they have more then enough advertisement to make ends do, hell they might even have a nice sum left over, for 'doing all the heavy work that is needed for this site ^^ Not to forget that they get donations as well.

Disgussing, reading and drown in speculations about HP 7 on the net is one thing. Publishing or buying a book about that theme is another thing. You won't see me with it. I rather see the various papers from HP congresses bundled and published then something that will be obsolute and redundant the moment HP 7 hits the store.

I think this will be a great way to tide me over, thanks, Mugglenet! I'm always interested in your theroies and what you have to say about topics(I'm a frequent listener of Mugglecast, too) so this is a great way for all of you to put this into such a book available to HP fans. :) I'll get it when I get my allowance money for the month this Friday!

omg omg, even stealing children's allowences now, Bad Mugglenet Bad Mugglenet

Id like to read a paragraph or so from the book, to see how it is written, but I will def buy it as soon as I get some money :) Maybe for xmas :)

Read a paragraph from the book... but why would they give you a paragraph.. then they wouldnt have much left to sell you.

Why is there so much controversy about this? I don't get it. The books are just for fun and are for fans who are interested in what people from Mugglenet may have to say. If I want to send my own money on a book, *looks specifically at certain people* Then that is my own personal opinion. Mugglenet isn't forcing you to buy the book, your an independent person and are allowed to buy it if you want to and not if you don't. And if the money goes somewhere, whatever. Mugglenet is free to sell whatever they want(unless it's violating a copyright law, which I doubt and I bet they put a good deal in the book about how Harry Potter is property of JK Rowling and Warner Bros.).

I never said it wasn't withing their right to do so, It is just that they should call it what it is. It is nothing more then easy money in their pockets (i highly doubt much will go to the site). And it is also within my right to point this out, as well as the fact that it is as good as useless, since you probably know all theories already from forums and so on on the internet, especially when much of the books contents will probably be revealed on the internet as well.

Well, I'm sorry for misunderstanding what you are saying. I do suspect that the funds are going to other things, but still, I'm going to buy it out of sheer fun and boredom and I have too much spare money when I get my allowance. Mugglenet can be used in any way they want-so if they want to advertise books, they can. (even though I can see why some people are fustrated with it).

Aw-some. I understand that a lot of you seem to believe that this is a scam to get your money. Well then snaps to you for spotting it, you should be very proud of yourselves, and that should be the end of that. On the other hand there are some of us that believe that this kind of book can be used as a TOOL, you decide what information in it suits you, what theories and conclusions in it you agree or disagree with. That's it. It's about summarizing all the information we have so far, the facts and the rumors so that we know exactly where we stand going into book seven. For those that take pleasure in that kind of thing, those that speculate in the forums, those that write fan fiction, those that read the editorials, or those that listen to mugglecast every week, this might be a very interesting read. If your not into any of the above then well ...maybe it might not be. Besides, call me crazy, but i happen to trust this people. They have managed to run the largest HP site out there (don't get me wrong, Leaky is great too), deliver a weekly award-winning podcast, get an interview with JK herself, and make it fun for us along the way (I do love Jamie). If they have published this book, which probably was a lot of hard work, and managed to keep the price at 12 dollars , I will absolutely buy it, to both support the side and get a good read. So to recap, if you think this is a scam, don't trust the staff, don't really want to know what will happen in book 7 until it comes out, or haven't got 12 dollars, all perfectly good and valid reasons by the way, this is not the book for you. If not then, why not give it a try? Then at least if it does happen to be really bad you will have some proof to base your complains upon. For my part I would like to congratulate the guys on this accomplishment, I really don't know how any of you do it all!

I have read all the theories even made some pretty good ones myself (even if i do say so myself), this has nothing to do with thrust, i am certain they managed quite well to pick enough substantial theories out there to publish in a book, (they themselves probably did not have too add that much themselves), getting an interview aint that hard btw, the 12 dollars aint a problem too me, although i find it way too much for what they are offering, in any case it is a scam in the way they are making propaganda for it, that just aint right. I for one aint gonna buy it, for it is (to me at least) completely useless, i can read and theorize quite well without their help. It is the end of that indeed, except for the fact that ppl seem to criticize us for saying so, while over-the-top gloryfying and a too great a need of defending Mugglenet. It is what it is. I have no problem whatsover with their book, they aint the only ones trying to squeeze money from HP, i have a problem with their bookpromotion. No way will i ever believe they need the bookfunds to have this site up and about.

I think that this is really cool! good for you mugglenet! i'm sure someone wrote an e-mail into MuggleCast suggesting this some time ago, but i could be wrong haha. but i think it'll be something we can enjoy before we finally get book7. it's just going to be a sum up of everything we know, need to know and the popular theories out there. wahooooooooo go mugglenet!

What is up with you guys this is great news for mugglenet! They wrote a friggin book! Lay off. If you don't want to read it then don't.

Congratulations on publishing a book! I'm so proud of you guys! I'll have to wait a bit on ordering mine, as I just bought $45 worth of stuff from Alivans for Halloween! But I cannot wait to get my copy. Congraulations again! Love, Amanda

wens d release date? I WANNA READ IT. WAS THS d big prjct d muggle-elves were working on??????????????????

Well, I'm not buying, but good luck on trying to make some extra money for the site.

Are you friggin' SIRIUS!!!!!!! OMG I MUST BE DREAMING! ONE STEP CLOSER TO BOOK SEVEN!!!

Are you actually making this book to be something productive for the fandom or are you just doing it so you can impress your groupies at HP events? Sorry but I can get all of these "so called theories" for free at any HP forums. How do you know what will be in book 7? Can you read JKR's mind? Sorry but you do not know any more than the rest of us with what will be in book 7. You are conning and preying on people that are freaking out because there is nothing new in the Harry Potter world.

to add to lunacharm0012's post if it is anything "new" then theyve been holding out on the fans that they "care" about so much.

Wow, thats so cool! I am going to get it! I think thats such a cool way to get money for this site! I think its funny that on the explanation it says "the authors offer answers to the burning questions of Harry Potter readers everywhere...will Harry survive...?" and then it's written by both Jamie (who swears he will eat 50 sausages if Harry dies because there is no way Jo is going to do that...) and Ben (who is sure that Jo will kill off Harry because life isn't perfect). I wonder if the book will be like a mugglecast, you know, an half hour discussion without a conclusion. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I just wonder if there will be a conclusion because there hasn't been one yet. I am so excited to get my hands on it! Cheers!

Oh my lord guys wise up for love of all sensibility. Nothing they've already brainwashed you with on this site is in this book. They're just scamming you for excess cash. They don't know anything more than you do or I do. Oh and those personal interviews were posted in their entirety. You've already read them. You want to know what that whole book is going to go here. Harry will get all the freaking horcruxes destroy them all with the help of those two people man who remembers their names. And the most wonderuful purty OMG!!!1!!!!1111 pErfECt Jenny. Because she's Harry's motivation and will to go on. And Voldemort will be slayed with Jenny's aWeSome bat-bogey hex. And Harry and Jenny with live happily ever after and Hermione and Ron as well. And every other character doesn't really matter except they lurve H/G and R/Hr. The End. So there you go guys no need to go buy the book now. And Kiwi bird22 I agree with you 100%.

I agree totally with hpbando (apart from the fact he calls Ginny, Jenny), but still: how stupid does Mugglenet think we are? I aint paying over a tenner to buy some crappo book about "what we think is going to happen in the 7th book even though all the editorials we have already posted mention every possible outcome". FUCCKIN WASTE OF MONEY. Mugglenet is just getting worse and worse. The content has gone down a lot since i first joined and the crap that some idiots write on this site? God awful! Having trouble paying the yearly fee of 200,000? Heres an idea Mugglenet - DONT! Just close the site and stop wasting a lot of people's time!

since Emerson pulls in 6 figures(over 100,000 a year) personal and has for the last several years, all this supposedly need for financial help seems laughable. The money he makes from the site well most of it should go to the sites maintenance, part of it for college depending on his families finances. If the profits were going to a charity I might considering getting it Mugglenet is not just a fan site it has become a business , a business whose time is starting to tick down. Let’s face it after book 7 and the finale movies come out, there isn’t going to be much to update is there? besides updates on Jo and the cast of the films. Mugglenets traffic is eventual going to start to go down, what does that mean it means Emerson isn’t going to be to pulling in 6 figures a year. They are clearly trying to come up with as many ways for them to profit as they know their time is ticking down. I don’t doubt some it will go towards the site but I doubt all of it will.

scam

that is so awesome. i am totally going to buy one. =]

i bought it! ..G.O..P.I.T.T.S.B.U.R.G. H..P.E.N.G.U.I.N.S..87,71 ,29,11.

i've been waiting for them to publish something like this! and to all of you nay-sayers, you don't need to be rude and unsupportive, just don't buy the book. and for those of you who keep saying how this site has gone downhill and all that - you don't have to keep coming back. the rest of us enjoy it and are glad that people are willing to put in so much work for others' enjoyment. So to all the staff - thanks!!!

To reheba: To be honest, I'm not a big fan of this "What will happpen in Book 7", (though I am a HUGE fan of HP & Mugglenet), but now that you put it that way, I kinda feel a bit better about this idea. I still won't buy it, or anything, but I won't be unsoportive and/or rude, as you are saying on ur comment. Have a nice night/day, and a Happy Halloween!!

That's cool!!! i want to read it!!!

The site is still going downhill. Its a shame really cos when I first joined here it was really interesting but now it just seems that "buy this, buy that, support Mugglenet". Crock of shiit basically.

You say it's going downhill, yet you don't offer any explanations as to why/how. Can you? In the last year (and a bit), we've released a podcast that reached #1 on iTunes (the most-downloaded podcast in the world at the time); we released the most complete and comprehensive image gallery online (nearly 50,000 images); we almost doubled the number of layout themes; our content has been increased at least 40%; we have created a brand-new news system that means no more disappearing news posts (plus a lot more); the largest and most complete collection of Harry Potter products online; we spent months writing a book that isn't a copy-and-paste of what's already online; and we still have a lot more to come. Now, tell me: how has MuggleNet gone downhill? If you're using the point that ads have increased, fine (but don't forget that as MuggleCast came along, bandwidth costs doubled). If you're using the point that content has "gone down", you're crazy. Please don't come into the comments, and jump on the "MuggleNet is rubbish now" bandwagon when you really have no arguments to back it up with.

reheba, this our comments, wich mean that i can give my opinion of the matters, its hardly my fault if you can only swallow happy and positive things and only wishes to see pink, colourful and happy things. as to ciarra, numbers dont say everything, to be quit honest i could not care a fig about your image gallery, and the podcasts, well lets just say i'd never really liked it wich is very personal and i am probably the only one, i know, i just never understood what others find so fun listening about you lot babbling on and on,especially when i think much of what you are saying is just plain worthless and even more so annoying. As for the book, congratulations for creating perfect toiletpaper to say it very very crude and perhaps just a very tinniest of bits (but not much)over the top, it is of that environmentel helpful paper i hope? I mea

to Trelawneys_Fan: After re-reading my post, I may have come across as a bit more blunt than I meant to be, but I'm glad you're feeling better about the idea! Happy Halloween to you, too. to KiwiBird: I have no problem with people voicing their opinions, we all have that right. I also don't care if people agree with me. I just feel that once one has given their opinion they don't need to beat a dead horse. Anyone who feels against the book or this site has every right, but as Ciaran stated above one ought to have solid reason for doing so rather than just bashing a site they obviously use a lot.

coolio! the other project!

To Ciaran:- I'm sorry I thought it was obvious why Mugglenet has gone downhill. Theres about 1 editorial every two weeks submitted, the Main Editorials - no one seems to be writing anything. And if you actually look above your comment it says why I think the site has gone downhill - cos it used to be interesting but now its just alot of "buy this and that from Mugglenet". The polls are awful, for some reason the kids from the film are idolised when its clear that their acting is sub-par. The comments on this thing used to be good but now theres more and more of "1st comment!" Like anyone cares if you commented first. For some reason the entire Mugglenet staff are quite conceited and think they are better than most people. You'll probably delete this comment anyway as it contains "controversial" views. So hows that for "solid reasons"?

they will not find them good enough (probably gonna say that if you liked the editorials so much then you should buy the book, cuz it will all be in there) (insert smiley with tongue sticking out)
