A few years back, I was contacted by Thomas to join a group called the DA back when we were a Harry Potter website. It was a very good group and I was proud to be a part of it. Over time Thomas and I lost touch. Now I am proud to announce he’s back with a little something new.
The Austrian writer Thomas Sailer, a longstanding Harry Potter Fan, has published his third book “Chronik eines Harry Potter Fans“ (Chronicles of a Harry Potter Fan) just a few days ago.
For many years, beginning in spring 2005, he was active in the virtual Harry Potter fan community: He started helping out on ‘Emma Watson Empire’ and advanced, from a normal site visitor, to the site’s representative just within a few months.
Two years later he founded the Knight Bus, world’s most likely biggest Harry Potter link archive. And finally, he started an organization called ‘The international network of Harry Potter Websites’: His attempt to get the worldwide fandom to collaborate and to keep it in one piece after the release of the final Harry Potter movie.
In this book he talks about his activities and inducements, as well as the influence which the Harry Potter story had on his life.
