ABOUT THIS SITEWelcome! This is an archive of (now very old!) posts I sent to the Harry Potter for Grownups Yahoogroup from 2002 to 2003, prior to the release of the fifth volume. I've put them here as a matter of personal convenience: the HPfGU archives are not visible to non-members; by storing these entries here, I am able to refer others to them without either asking them to join the group or struggling to hunt down and copy files on my hard drive.
If you're using an older browser or a text reader, if you want to print something out, or if these colors just make you wanna hurl, you may prefer the plain text version of this site. Chances are, you have come here to read one of the following entries:
If none of the above looks right, you could always try the indices. These posts have been indexed both by date and by topic. There is also a keyword search function at the top right of this page. Feel free to poke around the archives all you like. Many of these entries are banal, and many more ridiculous—and a number of them outline silly speculations which were shot down to flaming death by OotP canon—but once having started this project, I found that I was far too obsessive not to take a completist attitude towards it. So if you're really dying to read me prattling on all about how much I like Professor Flitwick, or drooling over Remus Lupin, or otherwise just shooting the shit with other people who were active on HPfGU at the time, then you've come to the right place. Please note that these posts represent only one voice in conversations which often involved very many people, many of them far more articulate than I. It would obviously be improper for me to publish anyone's writings but my own here; I have, however, included a link to the original HPfGU post at the end of each entry for those who would like to read these (now very old) threads in their entirety. Because HPfGU's archives are not open to non-members, though, you will need to set up a Yahoo account and join the HPfGU group before you can read them. Both of these processes are quick, free, and relatively painless. To set up a Yahoo account, go here. To join HPfGU, go here. Many of the people active in these conversations are no longer members of HPfGU. These days, a number of them hang out on a different Harry Potter discussion group, The Hog's Head. The Hog's Head archives are open to non-members. To read the list or join in the fun, go here. Thanks for stopping by. Because these posts are now so very old, I've disabled commenting on this site.
