Well this is my Harry Potter fan site, named after my favourite character. Well basicly it's got HP news, info, book info, movie info, editorials, fan fiction and art, irc chat (hosted elsewhere!), topsites, awards and a forum
Any good bits, bad bits, un/cool parts. Things you like or dont like? Any kind of criticism is welcomed. Please be as mean as you want
Thanks

Looks great man, is that some kind of php you used?.
indeed, very mutch so.
Thanks 
I am a frequent visitor to this site.
(I'm sometimes known as bookworm92
)
My new graphics designer ?
Thanks for all the comments
Nice site indeed 
very nice i love Harry Potter, i watch the 3 movies of serie.
Really good site but change the forum's images
. They are original images of ipb, and look bad at your green template...
Very nice site! Looks nice and has interesting stuff!
ooooooooooooooohhhhhh
Harry potter stuff, gotta love that.
I am wondering it says XLD program was used.
Never heard of it.
Where can you get it and how much is it?
sorry kind of new to making sites.
Rather, i have old ways of making websites 
Xldstudios is no program. It is a site run by a human who makes layouts
I personally like his banners and graphics though so let him design and code the alyout then recode it myself to reduce the page size, reliance on images and make it html valid.
Their services and pricing can be foruns here

though it is in the first post
Thanks for all the compliments everyone. Any suggestions to help improve would be just as appreciated though 
Nice job...
Try to make your block headers darker. I'm talking about nav2uk.gif for example. Icons - where they are? Check it out.
Why forum template isn't looks like the rest of the site? Oh gosh! If you'll paint borders of temlate BloodyNose in darkgreen instead of red it will be much better solution!
Green header is not bad... I'm talking about bannerfan7bf.gif
Content is real good, linkbuttons are good.
I'm not a big fan of Harry Potter, but the site looks exellent, loads of content and a great layout, maby I will get more interested in Harry now 
The site has a great layout. It contains very good info too. Cool message if I press the "order of the phoenix" under the films section:
Error
Sorry but the page requested has vanished.
Voldermort may have taken it himself.
Please refresh the page and if the problem persists please report to the
Ministry of Magic
Lol.

yup found that too, is funny
btw great site, like the design
I'd suggest that you change the forum's colors & layout to match the home page. It's sort of jarring going there. It doesn't feel like the forum is part of the site...
Nice site. Cool desing.
Good work. 
I have a new layout which isnt quite yet complete. A preview can be seen at
http://siriusblacks.com/index3.php
About the error page, that currently comes up with quite a bit of the info. As you can see from the urls I use mod rewrite to make browsing the site easier and more search engine frinedly. This has caused one or two problems but will be fixed!
The forum. Even with a different template would feel sepearte as you have to register there as well as the site. Its currently closed so that I can do two things
1. Create a new template
2. Integrate the two (forum and site) to require one login only!
And yes my site is on the Frihost main page. I won a competition a while back which entitled me to this priviledge
Your new layout is also good. Header is great.
Ad in the right corner - delete it if you can. Main table, as I understand is fixed by pixels -
| Code: |
| style="width: 747px |
For my resolution 1152X864 all your page looks like pressed up to a half of the screen. Change width to percents:
Once more - forum template! Integrate your forum template...
Whooooa!! this is over my head im out (love theme and and well eavry ting)
The New Layout looks mad, nice job
The priview link no longer works ... why? It has been finished and is now up as the main layout. PLease vote on my site giving your opinion or post back here.
I still need a new news template though I know, and forum template though thats being worked on
Edit: Layout images by LukeakaDenish and Jasna, not me!

Harry Potter Rulez 
Tell me mathiaus, you wrote the whole site or used any muscle for it?
The sites nearly all mine. The poll and news arent mine though. The network .. nearly all not mine though I did a lot of work with the fan section as the whole fan arrt part was mine.
on my credits page i list all the different scripts used (near the bottom)
It's got a very nice design, but I notice that it's not very different in comparison to the previous version of the site.
i love the main design
& site (content) is good too 
wow...nice website...
First thing i wan to say is tat i like your layout!. The layout is clean and proffesional looking!
Very good contents in the website..keep it up yo~
