We bring you this site with the hope that it will be a magical experience that enchants you in the same wonderful way that J.K. Rowling has enriched all our lives.

Rowling revealed that Dumbledore is/was gay for Grindelwald. Not very surprising really, many geniuses in history have been gay, bisexual, or have had ambiguous sexual preference. To name some: Leonardo da Vinci, Socrates, Henry James, Truman Capote, E. M. Forster, Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, and William Shakespeare.

Jason Lee Miller reported on January 12 (my birthday!) of this year in his post entitled 2007, The Year of the Online Game? that the online Harry Potter RPG, Hogwarts Live - that yours truly founded - was ranked at #3 in the list of "Top US Game Sites, In Terms of Average Session Time." So what? I'll tell you what! It means that out of all the online game sites out there, people who actually play HL spend more time on it than all but 2 other sites in the US (of course I have no idea where these statistics are coming from and they could be totally bogus for all I know but my ego is happy and that's all that matters).

Is that awesome or what? Or maybe I'm just trying to feed my ego again (it's lonely people, give it some love!) Could you imagine what would happen if Jo Rowling in all her benevolent grace were to honor me (and my house elfs staff of course) with some sort of recognition for all the slave labor, err I mean hard work (Hermione really needs to start a society for the protection of webmasters' sanity), I put into my Harry Potter-related sites. Not that I'm really deserving of any recognition except maybe the scornful irritated kind, but I'm sure you're all happy to hear about my self loathing.
