For those in the US (or ordering from the US) - getting the dvd or videotape

[heiditandy]

This has been approved by the HpfGU mods, because it covers an HPfGU 
issue - namely, hosting fees for our website at 
http://www.hpfgu.org.uk

Many of you may not know that FictionAlley (the largest exclusively-
HP-fanfic site online) hosts HPfGU's hpfgu.org.uk site on its 
dedicated server. Up until now, all hosting costs and fees for 
things like our chat software have been paid by various mods and 
admins of HPfGU, with donations from others on occasion. 

FictionAlley has recently set up Associate Relationships with Warner 
Brothers, and with Amazon as well, to cover our hosting and software 
fees - and those for HPfGU as well. Right now, the costs for HPfGU's 
portion are low - under $50/month - although theoretically they 
could grow.  

Now, the DVD and VHS versions of Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone 
(grrr at title) is about to be released in the US - and we're sure 
that a lot of you plan to buy it from Amazon anyway - or possibly 
even from the WB's store. If that's the case - or if you were just 
going to order it online and didn't really care where - could you 
please order it via FictionAlley's Kiosk, which is located here: 
http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums/forumdisplay.php?
&forumid=17 - or you can use the direct link to the WB here:

If you order it from WB, almost $2.00 goes to hosting fees, and if 
you order it from Amazon, about 50 cents goes to hosting fees - 
both sums are much appreciated (but as you can see, it'll take a 
pretty number of orders before it even eliminates one month's 
fees).  

Actually... anything you order from the WB sends 10% of the purchase 
price towards hosting fees (Batman, Superman, Powerpuff Girls - 
anything!) and many things on Amazon send at least 5%, occasionaly 
more. So please, click on our links when you're shopping at the WB's 
store, or Amazon's US or UK store - you'll be helping HPfGU! In 
fact, add them to your bookmarks *now* so you click on them 
automatically when you shop.

Later on Wednesday, we'll have links up to order things from 
Chapters as well, in Canada, where they sell the film with the 
proper title.
