It's been an amazing year! Thanks, Mugglenet! I think this year's book and movie were both the best yet, and I can't wait to see HBP later on.
Indeed, this has been one of the greatest years of my life, and good old HP and JKR just made it even better. Happy New Year to everyone!
This year was awesome :D
I think the best Harry Potter thing for 2007 was undoubtedly the release of Book 7. XD BEST BOOK EVER!
2007...the year that was..:D. I'll always remember it. The podcasts, the speculation, the BOOK..it was amazing. 2008, I don't know about what I'm looking forward to, but I'm glad I have Mugglecast. ...top ten...WOOHOO, it just keeps getting better.:)
6th? Ooooh, new projects? This is gonna be awesome, I can't wait!
Hey, you guys? Under July 29th Alfonso Cuaron seems to be misspelled as "Alfonzo Cuaran"... just a note. Anyway, this was a really cool collection of news stories and everything. Excellent job.
I also saw Ben and Emerson on the book tour this year. Yeah, this is probably one of the best years of my life in terms of the HP stuff... everything was so amazing! Well. Thanks for making this year even better Mugglenet!
Top ten again! Wow, I am on a roll! Lawl. (: And yay for 2007! Woot (:
This was a year to remember for years to come.... Amazing, is the word that comes to mind.. I have always loved Harry Potter and to see the books finally come to an end was sad but a huge triumph. Harry Potter will always have a special place in my heart even when I'm too old too remember much about it..lol.. Love you mugglenet and mugglecast keep on keepin' on!!!
The year has been insane for HP the end of the books yeesh I'm gonna miss 'em!
It's been an awesome year made all the better by everyone at mugglenet. Everything Harry related has been so jam packed into 2007 not in the least the end of a spectacular series (I already miss waiting for the next book to come out). It'll be interesting to see where 2008 takes us and the fandom. Happy holdays to all!
It's been such an awesome year for us Harry Potter fans! I'm so sad it's over but still- bring on '08!
Uh.... i'm reminiscing about the moment i found out about the theme park: i was sitting in my aunt's office... my mom and uncle were sitting opposite me drinking coffee gossiping... and i was looking on mugglenet when i saw the newspost... other than finding out there was a fifth hp book (i wasn't in the hp scene wen i was reading 1-4)... this was the biggest hp news... for me anyway. I'd like to express my thanks to Mugglenet for all the news and i simply cannot wait for '08 and late '09 / early '10.
This year has really been awesome for HP-fans....last year at this time we were still speculating how HP7 is going to be like and now....HP fandom will never be the same again T_T
This has been one of the best years ever. :)
wow... Best.Year.Ever. Merry Christmachannukwanza/fest ivus!
wow... Best.Year.Ever. Merry Christmachannukwanza/fest ivus!
Whilst I've been a Potter fan since I can remember, this has really been the first year I have truly "gotten into it". Thanks MuggleNet for making it just that little bit more magical for me! Pickle.
This year has been great, guys. I am truly blessed to have Harry Potter in my life. A lot of awesome things happened. I got to see OotP at midnight, I met Ben and Emerson, and DH was probably the highlight of my year. Or decade. :D I really am sad it's over. I'm still in denial. :(
yeah this year has been awesome-and mugglenet made it that bit fore special THANKYOU
Yup, this is definitely the best year yet! With the movie, book, and so much more, this year never had a boring moment haha.
2007 has been a great HP year! xxx
Oh wow, I'd actually totally forgotten about that New York Times early-DH review scandal!! Man, I remember that.. that was nasty. Anyways, Merry Christmas all!!
2007 rocked! I hope 08 can top it because that would be amazing but I doubt it. :D I love mugglenet. I love harry potter. :)
definately a defining year in the harry potter world. this summer was probably the first and last time i've been able to walk down the street and hear every other group of people speculating about harry potter. finding signed copies of the mugglenet book in random book stores. listening to podcasts at 1:00 a.m. with your best friend. unearthing harry potter marchandise from movies 1 and 2. waiting for hours at books a million on july 20th. the huge mob of people at the book store at 11:45 that was supposed to be "the line". jumping up and down behind the book shelves to get an early glimpse at the last book. driving to the beach the day after and finishing the book at a random ice cream shop. going to a random ice cream shop just because the marqui said "harry potter works here". making new friends through the fandom. and being excited even after the hype died down. it's been a truly amazing, but bittersweet year. and merry christmas to everyone :)
Um... Andrew it's not New Year's yet but it's cool!
what a year bye far, it also went fast. It still feels like i stayed up alll night to get the 7th book. And the movie wow...just wow. From the theme park to the gay dumbledore anouncenment we all love harry potter by far. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Bring on 2008!! Hopefully have many new harry potter storys to come. P.S. I GOT A SALOLEY SWEAR SWETSHIRT!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS
this has been an insane year. looking back it feels like it was only two days ago that I was counting down the release of the 7th book at the Midnight party. it has been an amazing year, probably the biggest one us Harry Potter fans will ever expect to see (concerning the fandom)
What Will Happen in 2008: JKR starts writing the Scottish Book; Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is out in theatres; Equus USA begins in NYC and gets rave reviews (and raving fangirls); Dan Radcliffe turns 19; Dan, Emma and Rupert get stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame; Neil Cicierega makes more Potter Puppet Pals; JKR outs Sirius/Lupin; and JKR is canonized and becomes Saint Rowling, the patron saint of magic and reading.
I hope the MuggleNet projects aren't something like 'we're closing, too.' This was a bizzare, yet amazing, Potter year. I really enjoyed being part of the fandom, and I wish I had been involved with it for longer before the release of book 7.
Aww... 2007 = best Harry Potter year, EVER! I'll always remember this year, and the Summer of Potter.
The Year all Hell broke loose....The Dog Days of Potter.....Pottermania 07.....Dumbledore is Gay!
Yes, best year ever!! One of the best books and a great film release, im looking forward to the release of the next film and the "Scottish book". Thanks mugglenet, for a great year of harry potter coverage!
This was MY best year ever, too. I turned 13, I read DH 7 times, I saw OOTP the second day it was out and I was the only one in the theater, and my obsession with Dan had increased tenfold, maybe more! XD
2007 was an amazing year for Harry Potter! :)
Yes, hurry up with the "Scottish Book!" Sorry, I feel disloyal for quoting Pottercast. And I'm taking a wild guess that you're launching a Candlewick Chronicles website. Juuuust a guess.
2007 was such a great year...thanks to MN! Merry Christmas!
The best year of my life so far :) I only just got into HP , and thank goodness I liked it BEFORE the release of Deathly Hallows. Nicely said about this year Mugglenet, nicely said :)
I think that 2007 has been a unique year - I mean more than usual..:P We who call ourselves HP fans have discovered the end of this road we've followed so excited for many years now! The first half of this year went to discuss theories about what would happen to Harry and all of his friends, and just wait for the answer... And then the answer came! And we have to live on now, knowing that we will never feel that exitement we have felt year after year, waiting for a new book... OK, this sounded really poetic xD But I mean it.. We will never have such a time again as we have had before the last book was released. But we still have two movies to look foreward to!!:D And to discuss what's good and bad about them;D HP-fans will never have such a year again.. I mean, people who starts reading Harry Potter now - they won't have the faintest idea of how it was for us when we had to wait for the books... They can just get the next one from the library. We have grown up with these books, and we have experienced the story be made.. If you know what I mean... It will never happen again... Don't listen to me, I am in a very strange moode today :S haha xD
I only have one regret from this past year; that I did not go to the Mugglenet tour when it came to Tulsa (kicks self repeatedly!!)
2007 was a great year, especially Harry Potter-wise. In fact, for Christmas I just got the Order of the Phoenix video game & Harry Potter SceneIt from my aunt! :) Also, I like the new "random news article" link.
this year has been the best year of my life. looking back on this year....it really couldnt have been better! merry christmas! i just read about the polll! it would be sooo coool to have a hogs head in hogsmede....it just has such an importance in the 7th book...it would be soooo cool if they had a aberforth, ariana picture, and secret entrance into hogwarts!
2007 was a great year for me! so many wonderful things has happend in 2007 reading the book seven and finding out that harry doesn't die at the end was one of the best for me ! the OOTP movie was the second best thing I think I'm going to kinda miss waiting for the next HP books and all the excitement : ( but anyway it was the best harry potter year for me =D
LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER. 2007.....this year....i'll always remember it. its been an important year for all us HP fantatics.......no matter how old we get, once a harry potter fan, always a harry potter fan. merry xmas to all and happy holidays. :D xx
I'll post again when I finish reading it, but just wanted to point out that --> May 16th entry is posted x3.
Ah, what a year. It was interesting reading what happened during the summer (minus the release, obviously) cause I was gone then. But came back for ze midnight release party. Merry christmas!
Ah, 07 was heaven, 08 will be great!! I hope everyone is having a Happy 25th of December:P
2007 was a great year! I'm going to miss all the excitement of this year dearly. I noticed that one pretty huge thing was missing. February 1st - The release date was announced for "Deathly Hallows".
new projects! how exciting. it really was the year of potter. wow. what great memories. can't wait to see everyone at portus. second year of potter all the way!
