 GamingWorld X - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Review
The story roughly follows the plot of the book/film, with a few extra scenes rearranged and thrown in to add to the longevity, and while die-hard fans may be irked by the story progression, the changes made by the developers lend themselves more to the feel of a game.
As Harry, you begin the game coming to the Burrow, the home of his friend Ron, where he begins to learn some magic and practices de-gnoming.
But only die-hard Potter fans will recognized and appreciate where a lot of the effort went, and will have the perseverance to keep playing through all but the most frustrating moments.

 Fandom - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Needless to say, the development of countless differing fandoms has occurred over the last few years, so that many fangirls now consider themselves to be passionate followers of sometimes more than a dozen.
Although they argue that the growth of various fandoms contributes to their community involvement, Buddhists contend that fandom participation is a result of the amount of chicken fried rice one consumes, and that we can measure the extent of the food upon a fangirl by the number of fandoms in which they participate.
These include, but are not necessarily limited to, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Brokeback Mountain, and Pirates of the Caribbean; however, the pursuit of imposing homosexuality on male characters is blatant in nearly every fandom imaginable.

 Harry/Hermione - Fandom wank wiki   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Because Harry, Hermione, and Ron Weasley are the three main protagonists of the Harry Potter novels, there are many shipper wars between Harry/Hermione shippers and OBHWF (One Big Happy Weasley Family) shippers, who would prefer for Hermione to end up with Ron, and for Harry to end up with Ron's sister Ginny.

 News Blog @ i66.com: Harry Potter Fandom: All Manners of Wanky Weirdness
According to her blog, she’s a professional writer now and is about to publish an original work in 2007, albeit not under the pen name of Cassandra Claire; a not too shabby an accomplishment for someone who has written slash about other published authors’ characters.
(Slashfiction, BTW, has been around for quite a while and is not limited to just the Harry Potter fandom.) She’s also popular enough that when it was stated by a close inner circle friend that she and her roommates had gotten robbed and her computer stolen, fans contributed to purchase her a replacement laptop.
When all starts to be revealed, hell breaks loose - the fandom comments each time a new revelation gets blogged; members of the exclusive fanfic group, fans and supporters of the antagonist offer what can be perceived as half baked and not very sincere apologies.
