Update
Ok people, I don't know if you remember me but I used to update this site in the Stone Age. Anyway it's been far too long since I last updated this site but I'm in my last year before university and it's just so much work that I had difficulty keeping up with things. I just wanted to say that we have received very few submissions for Absolutely Charming Scene, Choose your Charm and The END. PLEASE, when you visit this site, try out these parts of the Interactive section. As long as I don't receive more submissions it's no use putting them up on the site. And I am reading up on the story Laura and I created. I hope we can divide these weekly chapters so that Laura can make herself even more useful than she already is for this site. If you have any comments on something besides the layout, don't be afraid to let us know on the Tagboard or else e-mail one of the staff members.
Oh I almost forgot. I would like to ask any staff member who hasn't got her own staff page to send me her e-mail adress so I can send you the table to fill out so I can give you the place you deserve. So this would be for Chelsea and Rebecca. Thanx.

New Layout
Hey everyone, the awesome new layout is up, everyone, this was made by our very talented graphics artist CHELSEA! I'm still working on gettin the css up on all the pages so sorry in advanced if you run into a page that doesn't match everything else!
Weekly Fan Fic
Hey there, incase you don't remember when the site first opened we had an interactive book for everyone that every could contribute to. After time I was receiving some submissions but they were purpously steering the story from our main plots. So, we now are accepting fan fictions from you! Your own fan fictions, no boundries, please keep it PG-13 or below. It can be as long as you want! In the mean time I'm revising the Fan Fiction Joost and I were working on, my writing skills have drastically improved since we first stared the project so I'm going back and re-writing it, I hope you don't mind Joost, I won't change your stuff, just a little more will be added, wording and such will be imroved. I will release one chapter a week, I've already got the first three chapters finished but I'm going to only release one at a time so I'll be able to keep up with a new one per week. Go to the interaction section to find out more!
Gallery On The Way
I'm just waiting for my batch of photo's to be approved and then the Gallery will be open. So far we only have an Azkaban Gallery with a total of 59 photo's. Soon as we get everything accepted I'll put the link up!
ACCEPTING STAFF APPLICATIONS!
Our Co-Webmisstress has dissapeared *gasp* Actually I just haven't heard from her in a looong time, Joost hasn't updated in a long, well, there hasn't been much for him to do. Chelsea has been sending in buttons and layouts, and Rebecca, well, she hasn't done anything in a long time either. But it's all quite understandable. Half of the people who applied to be staff changed their minds so now were practically back to square one. So, this time I'm asking that all applicants have a least a "little" knowledge of HTML and even better if your familiar with CSS. So, do you meet the qualifications? Interested in being part of AC? Then Click Here
Dan a Walton?
"THE WALTONS' SIMPLE LIFE"
John-Boy (Orlando Bloom) enters underdog Blue in the cross-country mule race, all for the love of the new girl in town (someone we've never heard of). Grandpa (Michael Gambon) inspires doubtful John-Boy with memories of his old mule victories. With Miranda Richardson as Livie, Tom Wilkinson as John Sr., and Daniel Radcliffe as Jason, who turns the household upside down when he brings home two special friends (Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie)."
Interesting is it not?
Dan Fourth Richest Teen in the UK?
CBBC Newsround is now reporting that the Sunday Paper has listed Dan as the Fourth Richest Teen in the UK rather than previously reported as the Fifth Richest Teen from other sources.
POA Reviews
Matthew over at Veritaserum has a few POA reviews from two kids who recently attending the advanced screening in Chicago if you want to take a read. Beware, they do contain some spoilers!

IMPORTANT!
Hey Dan Fan's, long time no update! Well, here is a VERY important letter that I hope all of you will read so please read the letter from Daniel's father regarding Daniel and chatting or e-mailing with fans. If you were chatting with Dan, it was a hoax I'm sorry to say.
Dear Jenna and Page
In the light of an unfortunate incident which happened at our home yesterday I would be grateful if you could post the following message from us.
We received several calls at our home during the morning from a girl who had travelled from Chile to meet Dan. When we explained that this was not possible she became upset. Later in the day, when Marcia and I were leaving our house the girl and her mother appeared asking again to see Dan - again we said he wasnt there and we don't encourage visitors to our house which is strictly private.
Again, the girl became very upset and distressed - and this is where it became very worrying for us as Dan's parents on behalf of Daniel's fans.
She presented us with 2 emails from someone pretending to be Daniel who said they were hoping to see her in London. Daniel has said this in his
newsletters and I must reiterate do not respond to anyone saying they are Daniel and certainly never travel to London to see him on the strength of a very dubious email.
Daniel never communicates with fans via the internet or email for this very reason - he doesn't want anyone to be duped into corresponding with someone pretending to be him. For his fans' sake and safety there are no exceptions to this rule and anyone claiming to be Daniel Radcliffe is, I'm afraid, lying.
We felt extremely upset that this girl had been tricked in this way PLEASE don't let it happen to anyone else.
Any help you can give us on this matter to protect Dan's fans will be very welcome.
Many thanks.
