Is It Any Good?

4

What started out as a place for Harry Potter news, The-Leaky-Cauldron.org (along with its friendly rival MuggleNet.com) is now the preeminent Potter site. The series' author J.K. Rowling herself has said that it's her personal favorite of the Harry Potter sites, and the creator and Webmistress, Melissa Anelli, has even met with the notoriously private author at her Scotland home.

Besides the author's endorsement, the site has more to recommend it. Unlike many forums on the Web, the threads at The-Leaky-Cauldron.org tend to stay friendly and age-appropriate, and moderators are on hand to ensure that it stays that way. The site also has strict policies on spoilers for both the books and movies, though those can be harder to enforce in a chat forum. On a less positive note, the site also features quite a few ads and products to buy, all related to Harry Potter.
