HPANA is proud to introduce the all-new Diagon Alley
, one of the oldest online Harry Potter communities, as our new sister site!
Diagon Alley was created by Ali Wilgus in February of 2000, and until September 2003 operated as a combination fan art and fiction site with ezBoard forums. The new version, introduced Feb. 1, 2004, is a complete site with integrated messageboards, news and more, run by design guru and extreme Gryffindor Anita Miller.
"I'm really excited about the new site, and especially about teaming up with HPANA," said Miller. "I think that together, we can do some wonderful things for the fandom."
The new site is home to a prolific group of adult fans who contribute news, fiction and art to the community. As sister sites, HPANA and DA are combining efforts to produce an authoritative resource guide to the universe of Harry Potter. The Portkey will join this resource guide at a brand-new site, operated jointly, called Inside Harry Potter. It will be a much-needed, completely canon-based information center for serious Potter enthusiasts.
These projects, and more, have been in the works for over seven months. We're extremely thrilled to be aligning our common interests to create useful resources for the HP community, and hope you'll stick around for the ride.

Editor-in-Chief, HPANA

I guess its okay for me because i'm turning 15, but what about the little ones??! I understand that it IS a lot darker, but for me, I wouldn't be afraid of the movie at all...seeing Tom Felton there in front of the screen, why and how should I be scared?!! But my point is, I hope that Harry Potter will maintain its wholesomeness... and I hope that they would make movies until the seventh book... :-)

It sounds great. I wonder how it will be different from the amazing site The Harry Potter Lexicon? They are a great resource for every character in the books as well as some very well developed time lines.

I was hoping it really would be for slightly older adults, but, alas, after reading all the "cool" comments, I'm not sure I'll bother looking. "Slightly older" must mean older than 12. Doesn't sound promising if you really are "slightly older" and an ADULT!!!

M. Sebastian, It is actually a site for Adults. There is a range of Ages from about up to 60 on Diagon Alley. And the average age on the board is mid 20's Trust me it's a very adult website.

Wow, I love the new sister site Diagon Alley. The art and fan fiction are really incredible. Can't wait to see the trailer for POA and my kids said they will definitely be watching the Super Bowl & they hate football.
