The Harry Potter Lexicon
From Free net encyclopedia
The Harry Potter Lexicon is a fan-created online encyclopedia of the Harry Potter series.
The Lexicon lists characters, places, creatures, spells, potions, and magical devices as well as analyzing magical theory and other details of the Harry Potter books. The website contains detailed information for all six published Harry Potter books. The Harry Potter Lexicon, created by librarian Steve Vander Ark, is a member of the Floo Network.
The Lexicon is credited as creating one of the first timelines of all events occurring in the Harry Potter world. A similar timeline of events was adopted by Warner Brothers for inclusion with their Harry Potter film DVDs, and was accepted by J K Rowling as conforming to her works.
The Lexicon is a winner of J.K. Rowling's Fan Site Award. Rowling said that it "is such a great site that I have been known to sneak into an internet café while out writing and check a fact rather than go into a bookshop and buy a copy of Harry Potter (which is embarrassing). A website for the dangerously obsessive; my natural home."
