Muggles For Harry Potter is an association for people interested in counteracting Potter book banning efforts.
This
unofficial fan site boasts
children's illustrations, pictures of the
Harry Potter movie cast, and
printable paper dolls of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The
official Harry Potter site doesn't offer as much peripheral information, but if it's information on the books you want, the official site at Scholastic is a fine place to begin.

J.K.Rowling chat online, or
