INTRODUCING… MuggleNet Live! 2015: Expo Patronum
At the beginning of this month, MuggleNet celebrated its 15th anniversary – an astonishing achievement for any website, never mind one dedicated to a book series! Over the last decade and a half, we have constantly broken new ground, being among the first Harry Potter fan sites to interview J.K. Rowling, creating the highly popular Potter podcast, MuggleCast, proudly displayed all kinds of fan submissions, and seeking to bring the latest and best fandom news.
But we have also come to realize over the past year that something has been missing from these experiences. So we’ve been doing a little thinking. We’ve looked into our Pensieve, polished our Remembralls, and spun our Time-Turners thinking what we could contribute to the fandom that has never been done before, and – at last – we think we’ve found the perfect solution!
Just as Harry’s story has evolved, so, too, has our own. We’ve seen how the fandom has changed over the past few years and how we are all ready for the next great chapter with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them being made into “at least” three films. Hoping to bridge the gap between the eras of the wizarding world, we realized that the answer to what was missing was a simple one, an event that would brings fans together from all over to celebrate the Hogwarts saga’s past, present, and future.
