What a whirlwind weekend it has been for Harry Potter fans! First, the Quidditch World Cup taking place in Kissimmee, Florida this Saturday and Sunday, the exclusive announcement by MuggleNet regarding the Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park expansion, and now to cap it off Emma Watson picks up the Trailblazer award at the 2013 MTV Movie Awards this evening.
During Quidditch World Cup VI, StarKid not only performed for spectators but also sat down and had a nice long chat with MuggleNet.
If you’ve ever been to a convention or Quidditch World Cup event with Harry and the Potters – the popular Wizard Rock band – you probably also saw one of the rocker brothers sporting a carrying case around his neck selling sandwiches of his own magical creation.

To celebrate their one year anniversary, every week between now and April 18, the hosts of Alohomora! are going to share one of their favorite moments with you. You might be surprised as to which moments some of them pick…or not surprised at all. Be sure to read each of their posts carefully though, as they will provide hints and clues to a very exciting announcement that the podcast is making on its actual anniversary, April 18.
MuggleNet recently visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and – during chats with a few key (read: authorized to share) staff members – learned some exclusive information about the still “technically” rumored theme park expansion. The new information confirms most of what we have already heard – Gringotts, Diagon Alley, Hogwarts Express, etc. – but this time, details are finally revealed.
