Muari

The MeetUp And Read-In (MUARI) was an idea created and conceptualized by B.K. DeLong of The Leaky Cauldron (TLC) with special help from TLC Managing Editor Melissa Anelli and Editors Heidi Tandy (also from FictionAlley & Nimbus – 2003), Megan Morrison (also from SugarQuill), and Rhiannon Llewellyn.

Thanks also goes out to Steve Vander Ark at the Harry Potter Lexicon – our favorite place for canon research, Simon from FictionAlley, Gwen from Nimbus – 2003, Zsenya from SugarQuill, Jeff Guillaume from HPANA, The MuggleNet staff, Godric’s Hollow (especially for their movie image gallery – from which several images came from), iharrypotter.net, and the folks at The Snitch – all of whom are making extra effort to be sure this gets out to fans.

Special appreciation for Francis Pindar and the people at Mantissa.Net who continue to host us for FREE in silence. Meg Smith from the American Booksellers Association, Kristen Moran from Scholastic and Virginia Anagnos from Goodman Media for helping to collect various events around the U.S. for us.
