Well, FictionAlley.org has a pretty intense and active board up at 
http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums/ - we're into 
our fourth year, and we have over a million posts discussing the 
books, the movies, writing (fanfiction and original fiction), the 
merchandise, JKR's website and HP news in general, among other 
things. 

Personally, I used to prefer the mailing list format - for the first 
two years that I was an admin on FictionAlley I did most of my HP 
discussion on HPfGU - but the overwhelming amount of messages there 
manages to crash my sidekick, so I've had to go nomail on HPfGU and 
focus my discussion-postings on FictionAlley and a few LiveJournal 
communities, although I still peek in on the main list every so 
often, and have been individual-messages on OTC since it was founded 
(except for a few weeks just after I had my second child last 
summer). 


Best,
Heidi
