As the site gains in popularity, we are getting mentions in books, magazines and newspapers as well as on the net.
We`ve been mentioned in the book "A Muggle's Guide to the Wizarding World: Exploring the HARRY POTTER Universe", as well as "Potter`s world". A book by one of our very own fanfic authors here at HPFF, Linda Green.
