Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! The MuggleNet team wishes you and your family a safe, happy, and healthy 2008!

It has been over ten years now since Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published in the United Kingdom. At that time, nobody knew what Harry Potter would become and its impact on the world.

To pay tribute, we have put together a Decade in Review highlighting over 50 news stories from the past ten years which shaped the Potter world we've all had the privilege of living in.

Take a look back and enjoy! As time goes on, we'll continue to use this page to chronicle the biggest stories in the Harry Potter fandom. Don't forget, we also have our 2007 Year in Review at this link. BIG thanks go to Kat, Rachel, Nick, Rosey, and Micah for their help in creating this section!

Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

its between jess and logan for me. i just loved that episode with luke told jess to put something appropriate for work on, and jess came back down with a plaid shirt, ripped jeans, and a backwards baseball cap. pure genius.


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

hi im sortof back, my family's doing this 20-year-old exercise tape with Jane Fonda on it HELP!


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

i loved that too! but you have to addmit that logan was soo stupid!! all or nothing?? why would you ask a girl that?? oh and i love the part when Lorelai was writting the letter for Luke and then she goes on that whole tangent thing about how she can't write a letter.


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

are they wearing legwarmers and sweatbands too? if they are, take a picture.


Posted by moonshine Jan 2nd 2008

ginerva---pure genius is right! and im sorry to say that i think logan is a butt-faced miscreant. but i have no problem with you liking him tho! spew---oh goodness...


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

yeah they are ... and really tight tights and leapordprint leotards with belts ... save me... (and jane fonda has unbelievably big hair for doing exercise)


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

wow spew i feel bad for you! my mom has a bunch of those tapes too.


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

well it's good exercise but it's painful to watch ... AUGH MY EYES ARE BLINDED lol


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

merlins pants! spew, your family must be entertaining. its screams youtube. and in have a theory that you could bounce bullets off jane fonda's hair. so....much....hairspray!


Posted by moonshine Jan 2nd 2008

ugh....80's exercise clothing....horrible. run, spew, run!


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

lol!! well thats the 80's for you!!


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

what no it's NOT my FAMILY dressing like that, just the people on the tape. lol no way! i've been doing some of the tape too cause it's in the same room, and the exercises themselves aren't so bad, just the people doing them.


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

thats what i'll be wearing soon. i'll be in footloose this april, so, subtract the leotards and thats me. *shudders*


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

wow! have fun with that! lol! which character r u?


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

*shudders* you'll have to send pictures! pictures! and youtube


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

i dunno yet. cast list goes up when i get back to school. spew, if you get pictures of your family in leotards, i'll send pictures of me.


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

no it's NOT my family in leotards, just the people on the tape, thank goodness!


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

if someone does get pictures of either spew's family or ginerva in a leotard, someone has to totally put them up on the facebook page!


Posted by i_am_nagini_777 Jan 2nd 2008

jane fonda/old excercise tapes= pain beyond pain. Hang in there.


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

MAYBE my footloose costume. the day you see me in a leotard is the day you die. and spew, buy them some leotards, because i need that picture. it would complete my life.


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

totally spew!! that can be your next family portrat! lol!


Posted by marisa91 Jan 2nd 2008

whoa why are we talking about leotards??????


Posted by moonshine Jan 2nd 2008

the cheesecakeians should have a myspace. i know thats random but very true.


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

teddy thats genius! spew, think about it! you could all have big hair and a boatload of blue eyeshadow. i can see it now....


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

yeah yeah!! and the whole getup! leotards and leg warmers!! and sweatbands too!


Posted by moonshine Jan 2nd 2008

leg warmers....oh gosh...i think ill stick to arm warmers, thanks.


Posted by marisa91 Jan 2nd 2008

well said spew =] um any wanna let me in on this??


Posted by ginerva_weasley Jan 2nd 2008

well marisa, spew was telling us about how her family is working out with jane fonda on one of her old tapes from the eighties. then i said i was had this ridiculous costume for footloose, and we decided we need pictures from everyone. eighties workout clothes should be the new official cheesecakian garb.


Posted by member_of_SPEW Jan 2nd 2008

my family was doing a Jane Fonda exercise tape, NOT wearing leotards, and I doubt I would ever succeed at that (rotfl!). But now that the tape's finally over (!) I'm being forced to go help with dinner. see you all later i hope [only virtual garb. as you said, the day you see me in an 80s leotard ...]


Posted by teddysgirl011 Jan 2nd 2008

is the day we die right?? lol!! bye spew!!!
