Reviews
Anelli, webmistress of the wildly popular Harry Potter fan site The-Leaky-Cauldron.org, here tells the complete story of the Potter phenomenon, investigating such aspects of the Potter world as the musical movement Wizard Rock, the "cracking" of the New York Times best sellers list, and the support fans gave one another in the aftermath of 9/11. Read with feeling by Renee Raudman (A Weekend To Change Your Life), who moves the story flawlessly along with her distinct characterization, and with a foreword by J.K. Rowling. For Potter fans of all ages.

Since Melissa Anelli is a #1 fan, perhaps she and her followers might like to hate the long article about "the true origins of Harry Potter", by author Mylord to be found on amplify.com. The original author of the storyboard designs and titles of the story one loved designing (until the material was all stolen)can shed some glimmering light on the misnomer about the secret the known author holds and has held untold for too long. You have been told all about the origins of the known authors claimed characters and in the story about a wizard, yet "know one knows the name of the real originator of the Harry Potter character and other characters in the story really is! Many people wrongly believe what the authors name is, simply because they do not know the truth! Perhaps the seven page article posted on the mentioned site can excite someone to find out who really did originate the story about the wizard. I know, as I am the original author of the many drawings of the original storyboarded story of which the titles have been so published! Let me tell you this fact... The man who designed the original drawings and themes of the wizards adventures did not release his storyboard or artwork to anyone yet somehow the movie materialized sometime after the original author of the storyboard designs vanished from the designers home, as if by magic! What was years in the making was gone in an instant from his home, but luckily the author left codes in the movie storyboards for you to find in the movie. To help you find these codes, Visit Mylords post. Mylord has left you some clues. I know the guy, he's a really nice person.
Cheers.
Author,

If ever there was a #1 fan of Harry Potter, Melissa Anelli is it. However, unlike those whom one would most likely associate with those who are obsessed with the phenomenon that is the Harry Potter series, Anelli is a well-read, qualified young journalist whose love for the series and all it entails has extended into an academic study of its fandom, in order to create a truly well rounded portrait of what it is about Harry Potter that enchanted the world. Anelli is webmistress of the famous LeakyCauldron.org, a fansite dedicated to all things Potter. She co-hosts its weekly Podcast, Pottercast, where she and fellow fans partake in in depth chapter and charater analysis, as well as games such as "Guess that book" , film discussion, interviews and more. Her infamy in the online fandom provided opportunities that no other journalist could ever dream of - Anelli was invited to Joanne Rowling's Scotland residence to speak exclusively with the author about her reaction to the readers' response to her magical world.
It's the insiders perspecitive that gives this account an extra special touch. However, one must not think Anelli is biased in her analysis. Anelli takes her readers to the other side of the fence, tactfully discussing the series with some of the most prominent anti-Potter campaigners.
With such a friendly and knowledgeable guide on your journey through the fandom and its many aspects, this book is perfect for any Potter-enthusiast, or just those curious to know a little more.
