DarkMark.com officially went live online on October 19th 2001. It was the first site of its kind - a merge of two fansites formerly Harry Potter Fun and Harry Potter Unlimited. Both brought different strengths to the new site: HPF's collection of Harry Potter content and references and HPU's expertise in fan fiction and forum community more...The DarkMark Team
We're the people behind the site that brings you up-to-date Potter news, new content and editorials. Why do we do it? Because we love Harry Potter.

Pets: 2 cute kitties. They're incredibly lazy, even for cats, but they usually are really cute. Though not at night, when they try to convince me that my bed is theirs.
Favorite Food: Anything with loads of cheese.
Bio: You can usually find me in the DMchat and if you're lucky I'm actually at the computer. I came to Darkmark quite some time ago when I wanted something more than the small Dutch Harry Potter sites and so I stumbled upon Darkmark and never really left again. In time, I started doing more and more on DM and somehow I ended up doing what I do now, heading chat and keeping an eye on the news and comments, doing all those things that are actually so boring that no one else can be bothered.
At the moment, my favourite book is Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince, but I'm also a huge fan of the Pendragon series, which are a good read while waiting for the next HP book.[/advertisement] On DM, I'm a Hufflepuff through and through and proud of it! (No, I wasn't paid to put that last sentence in :P)

Pets: Too many. Waaaaaay too many. So I have the customary cat and dog. Though in my case the cat beats up the dog. Go figure. I also have a lizard (bearded dragon) who likes to jump at me whenever I open his cage for the day and makes me lose about 10 years off my life everytime. My house is also shared with a hamster and three birds. Oh Oh Oh and I want to get a rabbit and guinea pig as soon as I convince my flatmate.
Favorite Food: Anything that clearly states it doesn't contain lactose is a winner in my books.
Bio: Well, I came across DarkMark by total accident. I can't even remember how I found it, I just remember that it seemed so cool so I stayed. I hung around FF for my first like 2 months before I progressed onto lurking in Slytherin. Finally I decided to see the rest of the forum and kind of haven't looked back since! Outside of DM I'm a dancer who teaches kids, ballet, tap and Irish dance. You cannot beat the feeling you get when you dance, it is the shiz! Oh, I live in London and study Law at university, I've just finished my first year so tis all good baybeh! And thus comes the end to the most boring bio ever! :P

Favorite Food: POTATOES! Anything potatoes. Mashed, hash, baked, fries, chips and any other kinds of potato variety you can imagine
Bio: I came across DarkMark about 2 years ago by complete and total accident. I started off in the theory section and once I could be sorted, I sold my soul to Slytherin. I become addicted the forums in a way that you could not imagine and took on more and more work for the sake of DarkMark. Now I am the Galleries Administrator and official forum-skin-know-it-all. Apart from DM I'm a fully accredited graphic designer and at night I take graduate classes in hopes of one day getting my Master's degree in Business.

Pets:I have two cats, a fat grey one named Smokey, and a skinny grey one named Bandit. They're brothers.
Favorite Food:In the memorable words of Garfield, "...lasagna..."
Bio:Way back in 1998 my grandmother passed me three books with the words "Harry Potter" in fancy letters along the top. That evening, as I was halfway through my second book my grandfather gave me a lecture on how being a bookworm is a bad thing and I have been a Harry Potter fanatic ever since. DarkMark takes up all the hobby time that my wind ensemble group, improv, play practice and baby-sitting don't... and if anyone tells you I'm a spy ignore them. *END TRANSMISION*

Pets:Cat-Jellybean, Dog-Peppie, Two frogs- Molly and Boggart (If they didn't come with names, I would've made then something HP, but alas, I only got my way with Boggart).
Bio: I first read the Harry Potter books right after I turned 9 and have been an addict even since. Harry Potter has become a lifestyle in a way for me. If you would ask me why I love Harry Potter so much I honestly wouldn't be able to answer. It just kind of happened. Outside of Potter, I am on my school's math team and science team and get almost all A's. I hove horses and spend as much time as possibe with them. Some of my other hobies include writing, podcasting (HP, of course), and dancing (jazz, modern, and tap).
