Ahaha. I was waiting for something like this.
HAHA And all those times that she said there was no confirmation that she was DEFINITELY working on an encyclopedia. lol. Well I think this is proof enough. Can't wait!
ooooo man
Happy April Fools Day!
Seriously?!?! Freakin' A! I'm so excited! This is better than college...oh wait, a lot of things are better than stupid exams. Anyway, WOOT! TOP TEN TOO! What now foo's?!
I was like "OMG!" then I realised... April Fool's Day! :] Love you guysssss! (Top 10!)
top ten!!!!! k guys this is prob an april fools joke cause its too good to b true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
You guys should just repeat the Memerson wedding joke year after year. That joke will never get old, ever. =)
And I just realized what day it is on the East Coast. Lameness. I feel bad about myself now...I also feel sad that it isnt true. Now I'm depressed and still have exams. SAD DAY.

APRIL FOOLS!! Ah I had so much fun with it today, we hid from our Drama teacher on the stage. Plus the whole following my firend April around and yelling april Fools in her ear
I wish, man. Happy April Fool's Day! (and happy birthday to me!)
oh dear lord. hahaha if anyone falls for this....you 1. need to learn to not trust everything you read 2. go learn some pranks hahahha verry funny. memerson never gets old
APRIL FOOL'S DAY!
Happy April Fools guys! (and this is remarkably similar to last years MC - just fyi)
HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!! love the jokes.... haha remember leakymug?
you guys had me going !!! until i realized the day. i actually seen it on andrews sims facebook. youmake me laugh :)
WHAOA!
HAHAH!. April Fools.
Lol aw man, if this is a prank, its a cruel one. Jeez, i was flipping out there for a few moments. I almost called my friends lol.
Wow that was quick!
oohhhh you totally had me going there for a second!! good one though, nice and subtle. I remember YEEAARRSS ago when I was younger and more innocent, I went on to mugglenet on April 1 and it said the site had been removed due to copyright infringement. I stared at the screen blankly with my mouth open for a good 10 minutes before I realised! haha
I HATE YOU FOR FOOLING ME gah
this is too much like last year's!
This joke sucks compared to memerson...memerson...ah, the memories
Oooh, brilliant! I was waiting to see what would happen this year! Can't wait to see it all unfold :D
I'm an idiot.
haha! Nice try. ;)
HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY LOL i really wanna see the "tidbits" they're gonna put up haha
Uh huh, sure...
This is just way too conincidental. And besides, Jo mentioned in her interview previously that she had ages to work on the encyclopedia, and that she wouldn't have it finished in a while. And why would she give it to MuggleNet? If she were to give it to MuggleNet, she would do so personally NEXT MONTH when she's goes to America for the whole Lexicon court case buisness. This just has to be an April Fools. Although, if it were true... awesome! On a lighter note... HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY! I took a leaf out of Bart Simpson's bad book and shook up all my dad's VB cans (VB is Victoria Bitter, and Australian beer.) God he got so peeved :]
haha idk guys...this is a little weak. you're slipping. :-) i was hoping for something a little more elaborate like the mugglenet/leaky cauldron merger.
::Evil Laugh:: I was thinking what Mugglenet was up to and thought "Oh maybe they won't do anything for April Fool's day." Haha! Not falling for this. Anyway...HAPPY APRIL FOOL'S DAY! But seriously, I cannot wait for the encyclopedia. I bet there might even be a Midnight party at B&N! I thought since Deathly Hallows there wouldn't be anymore. I can always hope! =)
Happy April Fools to you too, Mugglenet!
*sigh* this totally does NOT beat the Memerson or the Shut Down By Lawyers pranks! You guys are losing your touch! Who knows, it may be too soon to tell! I'll be looking forward to all the fun little FACTUAL tidbits! :{PP
OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!
OH MY GOSH!!!! THIS IS LIKE CRAZY NEWS!!!!!!! I just updated the April Fools 08 page to include your little prank.
They get me every year! How funny! I'm starting to not like April Fool's Day; I'm so gullible. ;)
lol
Its not their fault that nothing can beat the Memerson prank though I agree the Shut Down By Lawyers prank was close. I remember seeing it and before I even finished the sentence I double clicked the refresh button out of pure panic.
Happy April Fools! Last year's is still my favourite, but I was unprepared this year since I'd forgotten the date. It took me a couple of seconds of: No way... Oh, wait, what date is it? Thank you for the smile x
voldy just walked in my back door april fools!
NOOO! I thought mugglenet was gonna do a spiderwicknet thing and turn all twilight/LotR/Narnia/spid erwick. Does this mean mugglecast is actually gonna be doing that lame split! NOOO!
I thougt that too Alex.(Not that I believe MC) It would be much cooler if they would have just change the name to Spiderwick.net.
Oh man, if only this was true. Gah
i call lies on this one. happy april fools.
ha. good joke. happy april fools.
I was fooled for like a second and then I realised it was an April Fools joke. Has anyone seen Andrew's lj profile/blog thing and seen his post about April Fools? I'm really excited to see what things MN is going to post. I really hope MuggleCast doesn't do that split.
haha nice try guys but this one's not as good as 'LeakyMug'. that one was hilarious! April Fools though!
Even Luna Lovegood could see through this.
