“Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” Security “Tighter Than United Nations'”

by Andrew Sims · April 12, 2005

In the briefs section on the right side, you’ll see a little blurb about us:

MuggleNet.com, a ‘Harry Potter’ website, was ordered to shut down by the Manhattan Federal Court for facilitating illegal distribution of copyrighted materials.

Looks like they bought our April Fool’s Day joke…whoops! Thanks to everyone who emailed the link.
