Thanks to generous contributions from fans, HPANA has purchased a top-of-the-line Dell server and taken up residence in a new datacenter as of today! After years of growth (and strain), we'll finally be able to open the floodgates and develop some great new tools for Harry Potter fans. Stick around for a few years more, we'll be here.
Donations to Server Fund 3 exceeded $2,500 and allowed us to purchase a Dell PowerEdge 2850, upgrades and software licenses totalling over $4,000.
As you may know, running a web site that has become as unexpectedly, insanely large as HPANA costs a lot of money. To make up for it, we have included ads on the site for some time now. Members who donate at least $10 get nearly all of those ads removed for an entire year, as a special thank you for contributing.
HPANA will be around for many more years, and will continue to bring fans exciting new services and features. YOU have made that all possible with your continued readership and interest. On behalf of HPANA's entire staff, thank you. We look forward to serving Harry Potter fans for a long time.

Great news. I am a recent Harry Potter fan, having just read all the books recently. I was very surprised to see this site when I did a search for news on the 6th book. I am happy to see so many others who are fans as well. Thanks for working to make the site better.

I think it wonderful that the members here are so loyal. This site is great. In fact, I've tried finding a similar one for some of my other favorites like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I've had no luck whatsoever.

Congratulations HPANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot, because you are, like, my only window to the world of Harry Potter(except for the books of course). And the only place where I can place my views on HP-related topics, read other fans's views and get the latest HP news updates, of course!!!!!!!!!!
