I moved all the old news to the News Archive (located on the header after all the updates). I also added one new affiliate. For the month of August, I have received 400 unique visitors! This is the highest yet, since the start of this site in 2001. I guess my shameless promoting skills have paid off. :-) Harry Potter news coming later this week.

Well, school has been keeping me from updating lately. This weekend I have been fixing, adding, and changing small and major things around the site. The Navigation has received a huge makeover! I'm still not completely satisfied with it. More site updates coming soon...
Now for the major updates in the HP World:

If you have ever wished you could be invisible, just like Harry Potter in his magic cloak, you are in luck, thanks to an invention by a Japanese scientist. Professor Susumu Tachi, from Tokyo University, has developed a process called optical camouflage, which turns objects invisible -- or more accurately, translucent. A camera films a scene, which is happening behind the wearer of the cloak... READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE!

Also:
*THE POA movie has made more than $500 million globally!
*THE Door on JK's website has reopened! Go there and try to get in to find another clue about Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Post your comments below.
*More news updates coming within the next few days!!!

I am back from out of town now and prepared to update harder than ever! School will be starting again in two weeks for me, so I have a lot I plan to get done before then! Look for new features later on today! :-)

I am going out of town for two weeks on Sunday. I will not be able to update the site during this period of time. When I get back though, I hope you are not disappointed by the new features I will be implementing! :-) Hopefully I will have time to update until I leave. I still have packing to do. :p

Over the last couple of days, I have been adding affiliates and topsite lists to the website. I would be eternally thankful to those who vote for me. I also just created a poll. I want to know what you THINK! Go here.

My url is too long, so I decided to use a url re-direction service to shorten it. So, you can now access my site by going to http://www.twzn.cjb.net, as well as the geocities url. Also, if you want to affiliate with this site, contact me asap!

Welcome to the official opening of The Wizarding Network version 4.0!!! Finally, a real professional web site design created by ME using div layers. Look at what CSS can do! How do you like the new site? I will be creating a poll with that question. Feel free to look around the site and come back again. Aren't you suprised that I finished the layout so quickly??? This is the first time I've ever done something on time! HAHA. :-p
