These fan sites contain news updates into the world of the books, films, and film cast members, forums, image galleries, or video galleries.] Some sites host thousands of pieces of fan art, submitted by a wide variety of artists, often in the form of a contest. It is also common to find sites (or simply YouTube member pages) devoted to fan videos, which are typically in the form of anime music videos or songvids.

There are millions of fan web sites about Harry Potter on the Internet, the oldest ones dating to about 1997 or 1998.[] J. K. Rowling has an open relationship with her fan base, and since 2004 periodically hands out a "fan site award" on her official web site..In 2007, Harry Potter Fan Zone received the award and currently holds it.

J.K. RowlingJ.K. (Joanne Kathleen) Rowling was born in 1965 and grew up in Chepstow, Gwent. She left Chepstow to study French at Exeter University, where her course included a year in Paris. As a postgraduate, she moved to London to work at Amnesty International doing research into human rights abuses in Francophone Africa. She started writing Harry Potter after the idea occurred to her on an interminable Manchester to London train journey. Jo then moved to north Portugal to teach English as a foreign language, married, got pregnant, and kept writing. By the time her daughter was born, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was one-quarter finished.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was published by Bloomsbury Children's Books in June 1997 to great critical acclaim, and has since won the Nestlé Smarties Book Prize Gold Medal (9—11 years), the FCBG Children's Book Award (overall winner), the Birmingham Cable Children's Book Award, the Young Telegraph Paperback of the Year, the British Book Awards' Children's Book of the Year and the Sheffield Children's Book Award, and was short-listed for the Guardian Fiction Award and the Carnegie Medal (received 'Commended'). The book has also won two extremely prestigious foreign awards — Sorcieres Prix 1998 in France and the Premio Cento per la Letteratura Infantile 1998 in Italy.
