   If there are font-identification tools today, there ought to be big data crunching designer identification tools tomorrow. Would that not be sweet?

   JK’s friend down the street has a 13yr old nephew who is just a genius with the computer stuff. And he did it for $20.

   The site says Sony. We’re lucky it doesn’t give hackers our credit card numbers. Or maybe it does…

   No, that’s normal, there’s a spell on it to stop muggles viewing the actual site.

   Harry Potter internet holdings have always been stuck in the realm of crap and ornament. I like Daniel’s idea of anti-Muggle charms.

   My buddies in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, an agency called TH_NK seem to be claiming credit for doing this. Sony may be the prime contractor, the guys at TH_NK are primarily designers / tag manglers. So much effort seems to go unrecognised especially these days where work is sub or even sub-sub contracted. I always say give credit where credit is due.

    A little bit harsh – the demand on this site would have be overwhelmingly massive when it launched – maybe one of the most hit website launches ever. All working now :)

    An agency in the UK called Think built it.

    Doubt it was Pirata, compare it to some of the other sites they’ve built from their website

    I used to be a fellow TH_NKer, so I’m sure they’ll get this fixed for all the muggles out there — well spotted though!! Agree with @Rob_Kirten as there’ll have been an enormous amount of work involved from the design team, so they deserve credit for this, though I expect Sony will continue to get much of the glory.

    I think Jon B was probably spot on, that’s what happens when half the world are hitting F5…
