A product of rigorous and excited discussion between a few MuggleNet staff members, Alohomora! was crafted to fill the void left in the aftermath of the final Harry Potter movie release. Led by the rotating voices of the podcast, fans can now re-read the books alongside thousands online and share all their new insights on the show, as well as on the companion section. The project is entirely produced by fans, for fans.

Working with the crazy hosts of the podcast isn't easy work.. not when they are constantly changing, improving, and adding to the site! To help manage this chaos, they assembled a noble team of MuggleNet staff to help keep Alohomora! the very best it could be. Learn about these courageous souls below!

	While late to the Potter party, Jon is nonetheless fanatical about all things Potter! Four years ago, the birth of his daughter sparked an interest to read the Potter series out loud as a family. Now 31, the Potterverse has consumed him & he's anxious to contribute what he can! Editing Alohomora! is a great fit as he has a podcast of his own, MetalsPeak...which is tied to another of his life's passions: all things Metal! Metal and Potter - can't go wrong!
	In between working at a recording studio in Omaha Nebraska, running a music production company, playing lots of video games, and listening to a whole lotta music, Patrick has somehow found time to immerse himself in the Potter universe! He has been a Potter fan since the beginning and considers it an honor to be able to directly contribute to keeping the "Potter spirit" alive.
	Terrance Pinkston Jr., 28, is the lead host of Hogwarts Radio. He hales from San Antonio, Texas and lives for anything involved with Social Media. In addition, he is a record producer for a local Hip-Hop and R&B group. He is also an actor on the side as well. You might have seen him in the 2008 flick, “Stop-Loss.” You can follow him on Twitter by his handle @Terranceus.
	Tracey, a 22 year old Ravenclaw from New Zealand, is studying at the University of Auckland for her BCom(Hons) in Information Systems. She has been a huge fan of all things Potter since the age of 9, & has worked on the MuggleNet transcription team since early 2009. When she's not busily working away on the transcripts & managing the army of transcribers, she provides help wherever she can for various MuggleNet projects.
	We could also not survive without the immense help of our transcription team! Lead by Tracey, we have a team of keen eared Harry Potter fans that help to turn out the transcripts quickly, and accurately! A very special thanks to every single one of you! We couldn't do it without you!

A very special thanks to the individuals who helped make Alohomora! happen!
