F.A.Q's - Frequently Asked Questions

Are you Harry Potter?
   Nope! I'm not. In fact, you can find out about who I am and my team here.

Do you know Daniel Radcliffe or any other actors?
   No, I do not know any of the actors personally. I do not have their emails either, but I do have their addresses. You can write to the stars here.

Who is Emma interested in Daniel, Rupert or Tom? Because if you notice some of her pictures are with Daniel some with Rupert and some with Tom. So I'm wondering who is the one she actually likes? - submitted by Kayla
    From her interviews and all the press she has made, Emma Watson claims she sees all her fellow actors as her siblings and insists that she likes none of them that way. At the moment, it seems she likes no one.

When will book 6 be released?
   Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince was released July 16, 2005.

Will there be more than 7 books?

Will there be other books published like the Quidditch Through the Ages?

How many movies will be made?
   I can only guess that all seven will be made. Right now, they are taking the movies one by one. They aren't doing the Lord of the Rings thing where they are making them all at once.

Do you hate Lord of the Rings?
   No way! I just hold a special place in my heart for Harry Potter. Just because one likes Harry Potter, doesn't mean one automatically hates Lord of the Rings. Two totally different sets of books.

 

Questions About the Site:

Why The Black Forest? Why not the Forbidden Forest?
   I like the name Black Forest. I know there are sites that are now the blue forest, the green forest, etc., but I knew people would be on top of the name Forbidden Forest so I chose the forest right next door. ;)
Actually, The Black Forest is a real Forest in Germany. They're famous for their cuckoo clocks and music boxes.

How come when I write in blackforest.tk and blackforests.com, it takes me here?
   Ah! Actually, www.blackforest.tk and www.blackforests.com! We used to own blackforest.s5.com, but no more. How did this happen? Well, to try to cut down the hoopla, here's the short story:
   We first had blackforest.s5.com, and it was a free web site. Now we pay for it, but keep the same name. To try to shorten our name, we created blackforest.tk, which is a free, but short domain name. However, many sites believe we have to pay for a domain name even though we pay for the site as it is. So to shut them up, we bought www.blackforests.com and it fowards it to blackforest.s5.com. (Ok, that was a longer story than expected.)

Where did you get all your info and stuff?
   Severus Snape (on the boards) created many of the unique stills we have in our gallery that no one else has. As for news, it's a huge network of sites like MuggleNet, HPANA, and The Leaky Cauldron where I get my news from.

What do you use to make your site?
   I use Macromedia Fireworks, Flash, and Dreamweaver. Maybe once on a blue moon I'll use Adobe Photoshop. See Macromedia.com for free trails on some of them.

Can I use your design and/or content on my site?
   Sorry, I work too hard for me to allow that. Everything on this site is copyright of The Black Forest.

Have any positions avaliable?
   Check our Jobs page.

I have stuff that I'd like to submit to your site. Can I submit it and how do I do it?
   Sure! You can submit loads of stuff! News, pictures, fanart, Quibbler articles (editorials/fan fic), and anything else is accepted. If you submit original work, we can give you credit for it. However, if it's taken from elsewhere, we need to know where you got it from.
