Carnival
Note: Please read my post regarding some negative publicity the Carnival has received.
Welcome to the Harry Potter Carnival!
If you have not seen a blog carnival before, let me briefly explain what a carnival is. A carnival is a community of people who submit posts related to a certain topic or theme. The carnival is usually hosted at one site. Blog carnivals collect links and articles about a topic or theme in one post. For carnival visitors, blog carnivals can be an excellent way to discover websites. For submitters, they can also be an excellent way to gain exposure for their own websites. I don’t pretend to have the most comprehensive or heavily traveled Harry Potter website, but I think in time, given the right publicity and amount of effort, we (Harry Potter webmasters) can collectively reap the benefit of a Harry Potter carnival.
This carnival is divided into several topics:
- J.K. Rowling: JKR in the news or updates to her website.
- Fan Art: Featuring artists or individual pieces of artwork created by fans. Please understand that I want to keep this site child-friendly, therefore I cannot post links to NC-17 art, slash or otherwise.
- Theories and Speculation: What do you think will happen in Book7? Have a trail of crumbs you want to follow? Did you find an interesting theory?
- Hermione’s Library: The best reference or scholarly writings on Harry Potter (think of Lexicon and sites of that ilk).
- Random Fandom: We have conventions and some of us dress up for the movies. We have the whole Star Trek phenomenon starting. What’s going on the HP Fandom? Note: this is not for fanfic links.
- Just for Fun: Did you find something HP-related that was silly or funny? Submit it for “Just for Fun.”
