Steve Vander Ark

Steve knows way more about Harry Potter than anyone ever should and loves sharing what he's discovered with fans all over the world. He's the webmaster and editor of the Harry Potter Lexicon website, the premier reference source about the world of Harry Potter, and a popular presenter at Harry Potter events. His podcast (ingeniously entitled "The HP Lexicon Podcast") takes listeners on an entertaining ramble through the Harry Potter books.

As a teacher and librarian, Steve has also led seminars about technology in education and about literacy and teaching writing. He presents for groups of middle school kids his own take on "Nine Reasons NOT To Read A Book". Somehow Steve has also found time to be the resident director for a theatre company and has directed everything from dinner theatre to full musicals.
