Happy birthday to Mr. Potter, Mrs. Rowling and especially I think, to Mr. Griffiths…

The woman herself was, once again, making the world a better place

On her birthday, JK Rowling accepts a “substantial” charitable donation from law firm who leaked secret identity http://t.co/28nXw3lFGF

— HuffPost Books (@HuffPostBooks) July 31, 2013

and continuing to inspire others along the way.

A huge thank you to @LightUpJosBday and those who gave so generously in raising over £3000 for @lumos in honour of @jk_rowling birthday

and Evanna was asking the big questions.

Sooooo…what is the correct social etiquette for telling a stranger you believe you have met them in a previous life??

— Evanna Lynch (@Evy_Lynch) July 29, 2013

To wrap this up, how about a certain Star Trek star channeling his inner Weasley.

MuggleNet receives JKR Fansite Award
Recurs yearly

2004

It’s high time I paid homage to the mighty MuggleNet. Where to start? I love the design, (I currently favour the ‘Dementor’ layout), the polls (I actually voted in the ‘Who’s the Half-Blood Prince?’ one), the pretty-much-exhaustive information on all books and films, the wonderful editorials (more insight there than in several companion volumes I shall not name), 101 Ways to Annoy Lord Voldemort (made me laugh aloud), the Wall of Shame (nearly as funny as some of the stuff I get)… pretty much everything. Webmaster Emerson, Eric, Jamie, Damon, Ben, Matthew, Rachel, Jaymz and Sharon, I salute you.
