MuggleNet book reviewed by New York Times
This Sunday's edition of the New York Times will feature a review of MuggleNet.com's What Will Happen in Harry Potter 7:
The authors of "What Will Happen" run MuggleNet.com, a delightfully thorough and fanciful Web site devoted to all aspects of the world of Harry Potter. Though they self-deprecatingly call themselves Muggles - a Muggle is a person without the powers of a wizard - the authors of this rapt little volume appear to have magically transported every bit of information in the Potter epic into their own lively, teeming brains. They are as adept at parsing plot details as they are at anatomizing the characters' motives and predicting their next steps. The founder of MuggleNet.com - established when he was 12 - even has a name right out of Hogwarts: Emerson Spartz. Spartz and his colleagues apply themselves to every question and conundrum that Rowling (or J.K.R., as they affectionately refer to her) has created and thus far left unresolved.
You can read the full review online now and expect to find it in print this Sunday. There is also a small article on the online fandom (including a blurb about MuggleCast) that will accompany the review at this link. Interested in purchasing your own copy of the book?

OMG! top teeeeen! 3rd??? Cool article.
that's awesome!
All these articles make me so sad, but happy and excited.....it's weird lol/
Cool! GO Mugglenet!!!! news has been really slow lately
That's so cool! Hopefully Harry Potter fans who don't visit MuggleNet will see it, go out and buy it, and become site regulars! This was definitely a great book and hopefully this publicity will be beneficial to the site and MuggleCast.
That's really cool... I wish I still subscribed to the Times so I could read it. Ah well, it's not too big. Probably not top 10 anymore, but top 15? Heehee x)
So cool!
coolness!!
that is indeed very very cool. everyone should buy that book! i've already read it and its marvelius (or however you spell it- im in a hurry) =)
Well, that isn't unexpected. Good, but not unexpected.
this is pretty cool.
Well done, guys!! Very cool :-)
'definitely not for closure' So true!
i loce this web site. good news. keep up the good news.
SWEET JOB GUYS. keep em' coming ;)
wooooot!
Aw, that was nice of them to show a screenshot from Leaky too.
ooooo thats so cool!!!:)
I HIGHLY recommend buying this book. I was fortunate enough to get my hands on a copy at a Chapters' Store in Ottawa. It is WELL WORTH the read. Way to go guys, you definitely deserve this coverage.
hey! i havent read it but i dinno sounds impressice! 21?
CONGRATS ON THE GOOD REVIEW MUGGLENET!!!
Sounds like a great review, don't spoil it for me though, I just, just today received my copy and a Mugglenet shirt, and although they weren't delivered by UPS ( I'm a driver ) I'm still happy they're here, You go Emerson and Co. and a BIG thanks to Jo as well,,,,
I just bought that book last night with my friend Jenny. The chapter on Snape is so awesome!!!
The book was also featured in today's "Borders Shortlist", a weekly email that goes out to Borders Rewards members.
That's so cool! I already have my copy and I must say that it is amazing! Go Mugglenet and Mugglecast!
that's really cool i'm gonna have to be sure to pick up a copy of the paper
You guys blow me away. You have done more at 20 than I have done near 40. You should be really proud of yourselves. I got the book back in November and loved every page.
wow! that's awesome that the book got recognized like that! awesome! congrats to all of the authors! :)
I loved the book! Congrats guys! Though... I must say, giving Lupin such a low survival rate (though potentially true) made me sad!!!
Amazing. MuggleNet is really getting famous, eh? Congrats go to all MugglenNet's staff. Heh. Everyone please note that whenever MuggleNet and TLC are put in the same sentence MuggleNet is always first ;D. Just thought I should point that out. Awesome job guys!
Isnt it really hard to get reviewed by a major paper? Cool!
Congratulations! What a lovely article.
Very cool -- I just bought the book at Borders this weekend. :) Glad I stopped in there on a whim!
woww good job mugglenet!!! this website and cast is awesomee =D
It is to spoil my reading, please do not do it. But if some more interesting to do count me in. Good luck in your guess work but I be waiting for the original item.
Pretty good article
So cool! I absolutely love this book, it is so well-organized.
Aw yay, congrats muggleneters! :) That's quite rad.
how cool is that?! way to go mugglenet!
how cool is that?! way to go mugglenet!
That's exciting for mugglenet, however I'm not going to buy the book because what makes muggleneters believe that their theories are worth money? We all theorize and all those theories are already all over the forums. You're crazy if you think I'm gonna waste $13 on something I can get for free. The way to make money for mugglenet isn't by selling a product full of stuff that fans already have. It's by selling something different (you know, like their little t-shirts). Personally, I think it would've been classier if MG just wrote all those things as editorials. I skimmed through it at B&N and nothing in it was new. Not to mention the fact that they already got the release date theory wrong. I'm not trying to sound mean, but honestly, what makes the MG staff believe that their theories are worth money and ours aren't? Please.
@natasha - if nothing else you are giving something back to mugglenet, which you obviously use.
good job mugglenet! were proud of u =)
That was a beautiful review
if you had actually read what I wrote danny i said they should sell other products. im not wasting my money on something I already have.
*whine* I want this book but I don't have the money for it! *cries*
ahh what happened??? omg im being completely serious, i first read the review on the home page and it talked about how thbp left 300 million readers waiting for more answers from jkr and something but "closure" etc etc, and then, after going to see tom feltons pic i went bak to the page and the review is completely different! what happened lol
Just wanna say i really liked the book and i read it during the holidays, as a supplement to book seven in my harry potter book a day marathon, and it was great.
