Golden Day

About/FAQ

This is a Harry Potter Web Directory open to all quality Harry Potter sites. The aim of this site is to make it easy for you to find HP sites for any topic. Anyone is welcome to submit a site here, whether you own the site you submit or not. This is meant to be the most useful directory for HP sites, and that can only be accomplished if everyone helps build it.

Site Info

This site is run by Kate and is a part of WalkingThere.net. Originally named Wizarding World, it was owned and maintained by Jenn and Jennifer. I (Kate) offered to take it over when they were no longer interested in running it. Thank you to both of you for letting me run it!

The Title?

The title comes from the last part of the last sentence in Book Six of the HP series which reads: “…he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.”

Current Layout

The current layout features Cho Chang (Katie Leung) and Cedric Diggory (Robert Pattinson) from the Goblet of Fire film. Thanks to Veritaserum for the original image. The brushes used in the layout are from Loleia. All graphics and coding were done by me.

Thanks, Wordpress

This site would not be possible without WordPress and the wonderful plugins provided by an excellent community.

Frequently Asked Questions

I didn’t list my site here, so why is it here?

Some links here were added by myself or other visitors. If your link is here and you’d like to change something (like the description) then feel free to submit a link edit form. If, for whatever reason, you don’t want your site here at all, use the same form and let me know. If you would like to link back to the site, I would greatly appreciate it.

Why is the button listed for my site not one I made?

In an effort to make things look cleaner on the site, I have decided to go with only 100 x 35 buttons instead of a mixture of other sizes. I have attempted to use only the buttons created by the site owners, but in many cases I either can’t find any buttons at all or the buttons available are of the wrong size. In those cases, I have made the buttons myself. If I have made a button for your site, you are more than welcome to use it yourself.

Why wasn’t my site added?

The most common reasons a site is not added is because it was either a hosted site (like a forum on Proboards) or the site had taken content from another site (usually the HP-Lexicon).
Now that there is no longer a huge volume of site submissions anymore, I try to email everyone who applies whether they are accepted or not. If you did not get an email, then it’s possible I never got your application so feel free to submit again.

What script is used for this site?

This site is powered by WordPress which certainly isn’t a link directory script (it’s for blogs, but really can be used for anything). None of the link directory scripts currently available do exactly what I need for this site, so WordPress does the job quite well.
