Just a quick post to wish you all a Happy Christmas!

Again, I have fallen behind with the news and stuff due to health reasons. I've not abandoned the site, I just haven't been able to do much work to it, other than the back-end maintenance that you don't see.

So, I really could do with some help - if you think you can help with posting news, or something, please get in touch.

Just a reminder that our summer of Potter competition closes tomorrow night, so to be in with a chance of winning, start posting in the forums!

For more details see this page.

Due to illness, I've not been unable to update the site for several days, this includes news items. I apologise for this and will try and catch up as soon as possible.

I also ask if people could help by posting news via the submit form. Thanks!

Just two months (60 calendar days) remain until the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it's creeping up on us fast. If you want to read the whole series before the release on the 21st of July, you may still be able to manage it by reading around two and a half chapters a day.

I am looking for news reporters - I am currently struggling to keep up with the current rate of news, so I need help. You can submit news here - if you want to be attributed for the story, either log in, or put a note in the news post!

Anyone can post news items, they will be validated before your post will go live (this is to top spammers and to keep the quality up). Please do not be offended if your post is not accepted, or edited - it may be because it's a duplicate story, or not relevant, etc. But whatever you send us, your time and effort will be appreciated.

The Muggle's Guide has made its countdowns (as shown on the upper left of this page) available for you to use on your web site, MySpace or blog.

From tonight, until the 15th of July, The Muggle's Guide is running a competition called "The Summer of Potter" to celebrate the release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and the seventh and final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. More details on the competition can be found here.

I've uploaded five Harry Potter related fonts for you to download. They are available from the download area.

After a recent update, the site is experiencing problems with various areas not being displayed.

Hopefully, the site will be restored to full, soon, so please bear with us while we pull out our hair...

Edit: All is OK now (please don't ask me what went wrong... )
