Good Day Everyone,

I'm sorry to say that CoS Forums is going to shut down in the Summer, sometime around July. This isn't an early April Fools joke either.

The Forums have become quite expensive to run and manage. There's a lot (LOT) less traffic coming to the site these days as Harry Potter becomes less of a topical debate for people.

I held on for a while after the last film, wondering whether JK would announce anything surprising, but I find that even if she did it wouldn't serve to help the diminishing numbers on the site or my bank balance!

Myself, I've been absent a lot more in the past year as personal issues have taken over and I've had to work longer hours, to earn more money to keep the forums going as well as pay for things like rent, utilities and god knows what else.

Some of you will be sad and I'm sure others will be happy. I'm not doing this lightly and I could have closed the site last year but held off. I know this may upset some of you who've come to see this place as a haven with friends and I'm very sorry it has to go but I've kept this place going with money out of my own pocket for 10 years now and it's no longer financially viable to do so. Please understand that this is not an easy decision!

Some of you may wish to offer to help, to donate or even take on the site. Whilst I would listen to any suggestions, I will not accept donations as this would be unsustainable in the long-term. If you wanted to take on CoS, be aware that you would need to find $200 per month and to be honest with you all I'm not sure I'm prepared to let the site be taken over by anyone. I've created a thread for comments. The other staff know only as much as the above. There is no Plan B as far as they are concerned, so do not pester them for answers to questions. If they do not know, they are being totally honest.

Comment here

Many thanks to everyone who for the last 10+ years have worked in one way or another on the site. All the staff, past and present who gave their time and energy to making the community work. Every single person gave their time for free and were never paid for their efforts. It was a labor of love for all.
Many thanks to the members, those who came & went and dared to stay. Every single one of you who contributed to the site, to the discussions and events. You were the ones who made the site what it became, from the all the book releases to the heated, sometimes famous debates about all sorts of topics. You made CoS what it was. So thank you.

Re: Ask George
I see you support your dad for Minister of Magic (of course, you do). What do you say to Harry running for the office?

You ask a very difficult question. Harry is my brother-in-law and a great guy. Dad is a great guy, too.

Re: Ask George
Hey George,

I have two questions, how does it feel to be a dad and will you decide to go international with the business?

James was happier than he had been in a while. He laughed constantly when he was talking to her and he was always drawn into the conversation by her charming smile and her eyes – glittering gold, they were unlike anything James had ever seen. ~STOP AND STARE

'Sirius Black is sexy, right?' Of course she was right. The best-looking, most rebellious, most dangerous of the four marauders.

I love Harry Potter and Twilight. It can happen without a war.

Well, business-wise, we have not been affected. But the employees always keep Fred in mind in everythying they do, myself included.

It feels great. Now I have someone to pass on all my knowledge and expertise onto. It's possible I may go international with the business someday, perhaps if I can get more hired hands.

I am still here. Running the joke shop has been busy lately. I have been doing some research on a couple of new products I'd like to introduce.

I wouldn’t mind one of Mother’s knitted sweaters.

Re: Ask George
Hey, George. Dangit, I really want to keep calling you Fred for some reason....but anyway, who does Roxanne look like? Have you seen Harry lately? Why do you insist on giving Harry and his family free things from your jokeshop? (Besides the fact Harry gave you his Tri-Wizard winnings?) So you named your son after your brother? Sounds reasonable enough.

Yes she did know, but there wasn't much she could do Business is good, it's still going really well.

Roxanne looks like Angelina, although her skin is quite pale. I see Harry a lot, he always comes around on his own or with his kids to check out the new products. We owe Harry a lot that's why I always tell him everything is free, but he wants to pay anyway.
