Winner of J.K. Rowling's Fan Site award.
J.K. Rowling on the Harry Potter Lexicon website:
"This is such a great site that I have been known to sneak into an internet
cafe while out writing and check a fact rather than go into a bookshop and
buy a copy of Harry Potter (which is embarrassing). A website for the
dangerously obsessive; my natural home."
