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

by Andrew Sims · April 12, 2005

An article posted yesterday on Lanka Business Online says security arrangements of the UN Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, were low-key compared to the security measures that will be in place for the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

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.
