Hope I don't get into trouble for this, but here it 
goes...

For those who haven't check 'The Leaky Cauldron' today


http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/index.php?articleID=9693

There is a link to a feature article in the Toronto
Star Newspaper which is about Harry Potter Fan Sites.
Naturally, the two greatest fan site are mentioned -
The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet. 

http://www.thestar.com/artsentertainment/article/201974

But a third, equally great fan site is mentioned. Our
very own 'HP for Grownups', which it turns out was
founded by MIKE GRAY. When enrollment on this site
reached 10,000 it became too much for him to manage
and he turned it over to a committee of List-Elves.
(Bows to List-Elves)

The news article doesn't give a link to our site, but
the Leaky Cauldron does. 

Note, we are referred to as 'Harry Potter for Grownups'
which is only partly true. We are actually 'HP for
Grownups'. There is a newer and smaller Yahoo group
literally called 'Harry Potter for Grownups' and 
while I do check in there now and then, I have to
say that this group, our group, probably has the 
best, most controlled, deepest, and most thoughtful
Harry Potter discussions of any site on the 'Net. 

Currently we are boasting a proud 26153 members in
our group. 

For those who check the 'Message History' at the 
bottom of the main Home page, you will see that our
posting rate peaked July 2003 with 8,234 posts that
month.

Let's all take a moment to thank all the List-Elves
who volunteer and work tirelessly to keep the 
discussion on track. (Once again bows humbly to the
may List-Elves.)

Just passing it along.
