I did my monthly affiliate cleanup and deleted those of you who didn’t follow the rules. The reason is stated next to the URL. So if you are one of those who have been deleted, you can reapply as long as you can follow the rules.  Here are the sites that I removed:

So after all of these deletions I am in need of new affiliates! (well I always am) So if you want to apply go HERE. Or if any of my faithful viewers know of a good site (HP or not) that I can affiliate with add it to the comments!

I have chosen my August Site of the Month! And it is *drumroll*

Phelps Brothers Online

Phelps Brothers Online is a new fan site devoted to the Phelps twins who, obviously, play Fred and George Weasley in the Harry Potter films. The site has an awesome layout, great news, and an extensive gallery with tons of movie screencaps. Check out this wonderfully wonderful site!

See their award HERE!

If  you see my site has been honored with a Site of the Month award, please tell me in an email (webmiss@magical-menagerie.com) or comment!

JKR has updated her site with an August Wizard of the Month.

Rowena Ravenclaw
Medieval (precise dates unknown)
One of the four famous Founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Rowena Ravenclaw was the most brilliant witch of her time, though legend has it that a broken heart – cause unknown – contributed to her early demise.

JK Rowling .com

In Honor Of Rowling is hosting a scrapbook project with the help of Fans of Rowling and HP4U. Since Jo’s birthday is just around the corner we thought it would be nice to do something special for her. You may submit letters, poems, drawings, paintings, hand-made bookmarks, computer graphics, homemade videos or audio tracks, or anything else you can think of!  The staff at In Honor Of Rowling also will be adding pictures of yourself posing with your favorite book in the Harry Potter series to the scrapbook.  The scrapbook will be sent to a confirmed address where the book is guaranted to be seen by the eyes of J.K. Rowling. This is your chance to tell Jo whatever you want to tell her! Your chance to let her know how you feel!
