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.

Harry's Godmother?
We all know Sirius is his godfather, but does Harry have a godmother, and who would it be if he does??

I don't think he does, and if he did (assuming it was important to know who she is ..) we would know who she is.., but personally I don't believe he has one

Maybe he has one but it isn't time for him to know. How many people actually knew that Sirius was Harry's godfather? How many? And how many know that HArry has a godmother. Possibly Figg is his godmother. But I doubt it. Cause someone would know and Harry would go to her. And I doubt JK will add another relation to a family member. I think she just put godfather so Harry could have a male influence. He has Mrs.Weasley already as a female influence motherly type. And Arthur doesn't exactly help Harry feel like Arthur is his father. He talked to HArry but was all blah. I doubt that Harry has a godmother. MAybe some unknown family member. Someone must be related and is not telling HArry or noone knows,not even the person who is related to him.

If Harry were to have a godmother, then we would know about it. Unless his godmother is locked in a prison cell and unable to write him a letter...

I don't have a godmother or godfather. Harry probaly just doesn't have one. Or maybe it's Lupin . It seems werid that they chose only Sirius as the godfather, Lupin must have felt left out.

If Lupin was a Godfather, then what about Pettigrew? He would feel left out too.

I doubt that Harry would have any other godparents unless they are unknown or else he would be living with them instead of the Dursleys.

Logic suggests that Harry would have a Godmother as well as a Godfather. It's highly unusual to appoint one person to the position without having a matching, female equivalent...then again the Potters may have been an unusual family.

It should be noted that families who appoint Godparents usually appoint two sets. Perhaps Harry has another Godfather and two more Godmothers out there that he doesn't know about?

P.S. I don't care to speculate who Harry's potential Godrelatives are. I couldn't even fathom a guess.

I don't think Harry's parents have other closed friend as Sirius whom is a woman so, they didn't get godmother for Harry unless, JKR introduces in the future book as a surprise.

He probably doesn't have a godmother. I wouldn't be surprised by that. I have one godfather, one godmother, and two godmothers unofficially. The god parents to your children are supposed to be your closest friend or relative. Sirius was James's best friend, and he probably considered Lily a close and dear friend as well. If Sirius had his name cleared and was to marry, than perhaps then Harry would have a godmother... but that's not the case.

Usually the Godmother and Godfather are a married couple. So if Sirius ever gets married, his wife would most likely become Harry's Godmother.

My Godfather is not married to my Godmother....and I thought your parents have to choose them...so I don't think that if Siriius marries someone, she will becaome, just like that, Harry's Godmather...

I agree with whoever said that if he had a Godfather, he is suposed to have a Godmother too....

Besides, My Godmother is so much older than my Godfather...so, I don't think it really matters

He doesn't have to have a godmother... does he? It's just tradition to have both a godmother and father.

Erm, not in my experience.

Perhaps we should ask Evelyn for an expert opinion...
