Pottersource began as Harry Potter Canada in 2002, making it one of the oldest Harry Potter fansites in existence, and truly one of the originals. The site was created by Eric who was fourteen years old at the time and who has been a fan of the Harry Potter series since 1998. Harry Potter Canada went offline for a few years and though the idea to bring it back surfaced every few years, it wasn’t until 2011, fours years after the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and about the same time as the release of the final film instalment that the site arrived back on the scene.

Pottersource is still run by Eric and now aims to be the best source of Harry Potter news, resources and nostalgia for Canadian fans of the Harry Potter series.
