What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 2003
A fan-made encyclopedia of the Harry Potter books, listing characters, places, creatures, spells and potions, with one of the first full timelines.
School librarian Steve Vander Ark built it, and J. K. Rowling gave it her Fan Site Award. In 2008 she and Warner Bros won a copyright case against a printed version from RDR Books, a key ruling on unofficial reference guides.
In 2003: In June, just after Order of the Phoenix came out, Vander Ark appeared on the Today show.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
