THE excitement is already building amongst young and old alike for the release of the Harry Potter film.

However, you can get a sneaky peek of film clips and images, as well as keep up to date on the latest news at the official site (http:// harrypotter.warnerbros.co.uk).

It features interactive graphics, fiendish games and you even have the chance to enrol at Hogwarts.

But there are many other fans' sites that will have you booing Voldemort and cheering on Dumbledore, and which are well worth a look.

There is the Harry Potter Lexicon (http://www.i2k.com/svderark/lexicon/index.html) that will tell you more about the people and creatures in Harry's world (and many magical, mythical creatures that aren't)!

This simple-to-use lexicon will undoubtedly have the answers you seek.

So with just a few more weeks to go until Harry Potter hits our screens there is no excuse why you shouldn't prepare yourself for wizard mania.
