Happy birthday … Harry Potter Fan Zone! 
In the early hours of 22 December 2003 a little known fan site appeared online. It looked something like this. From the idea that "it would be cool to make a website", HPFZ was born. Since that day we've been covering book launches, movie releases, nonsensical rumours and everything in between. It's been a blast.
Now entering our seventh year (see what we did there), there's much to come. There's plenty left in the Potter franchise, including a theme park, two movies and a potential encyclopedia. Site wise, there is also plenty on the horizon. Stay tuned!
Finally, a big thank you to all the folks who've helped out with the site these past six years. Kudos to you all.

Changes aplenty at Harry Potter Fan Zone
Harry Potter Fan Zone has undergone a major facelift today – we hope you like it! As well as the obvious cosmetic changes, you'll notice that a major restructuring of our content and navigation has taken place. The goal of the project was to make the site's content more accessible and organised.
Feature-wise, you can now browse through our news archives through the new permanent sidebar, as well as perform a global site search (search every news article and page of content from the one place). Additionally, you'll find many of our content sections have been given a complete refresh (take a look at our new book and movie sections for starters). More updates are also on the way!
Finally, we've brought some Web 2.0 goodness to the site – you can now join us on Facebook, Twitter, and of course subscribe to our RSS news feed. We'd love your feedback on the site refresh, so please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have a question or comment.
Please join the Harry Potter Fan Zone staff in wishing HPFZ's webmaster Andy McCray a very happy twentieth birthday! Andy has devoted the last 6 years of his life to HPFZ, and for that we are all grateful. So cheers to as friendly, devoted, and driven a webmaster as there ever will be. Enjoy your birthday mate – you deserve it!
