MuggleNet’s global book club, “Alohomora!”, continues its reread of the “Harry Potter” series.

Join hosts Kat, Michael, and Alison, along with special returning guest host Laura Reilly, as they discuss chapter 6 of “Half-Blood Prince”.
It’s an exciting week for “Harry Potter” fans – we’ve got tons of new roles to announce including TWO new Special Guests for MuggleNet Live! 2015: Expo Patronum, a music video starring Snape (who knew he could carry a tune?), another villainous role for a previous Doctor, new clips and trailers, and a look at new art from Diagon Alley artist Michael Curry and his design team. All that and more in this week’s Role Call!
Bummed out because you don’t have tickets to Universal’s Celebration of Harry Potter? A contest running this month will give you a chance to attend one day of the festivities plus a special social media meet-up!

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.
