on FictionAlley - you can find three of them here:

<b>The Book-Lined Shelves</b>
What do you think of JKR's writing style? What do published authors
have to say about it, and about Harry's world? How do you think HP
compares to other literature? Come on in and discuss HP with a
critical eye! Academics, students, scholars and the curious and
interested are all welcome!

<b>Background, Backstory & Back-ups</b>
What mythological, historical and real world sources may have
influenced the characters and creatures we meet in the Potterverse?
This forum includes discussion of etymology, legend sources, the
British school system Smiths songs, and other "real" material that
turns up in the Potterverse.

<b>Eckletricity: Theory, Practice, and the Mechanics of the Potterverse</b>
Where is Hogwarts, on the map? How does the British school system
work? What should a minister of magic do at work? And what is your
theory on how magic really works?  </blockquote>

And the last one is here -
http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=192
- it's called Hermione's Book Collection: In the years since the
release of Philospher's Stone, the publishing world has seen a slew of
books about the Harry Potter series and J.K. Rowling herself. Discuss,
recommend and review those books!
