About and policies
Independent by design.
A fan publication can be enthusiastic without becoming careless, intrusive or commercially slippery.
About the publication
The Lantern Ledger is an unofficial editorial project tracking HBO's Harry Potter television adaptation. Its defining feature is a claim ledger: factual statements are dated, sourced and labelled according to their evidence.
Editorial independence
Editorial status cannot be purchased. Commercial partners do not receive influence over news labels, corrections, cast information or location assessments. Gifts, press access and sponsored travel should be disclosed on the relevant page.
Affiliate disclosure
Some guides may contain affiliate links. When an active affiliate relationship exists, the relevant link or commercial section will be clearly identified as advertising before or beside the link. The site may receive a commission when a reader completes a qualifying purchase, at no additional cost to the reader.
The current build contains partner-ready positions but no owner affiliate identifiers. Operators should verify each programme's current terms before activation and use rel="sponsored" on active links.
Privacy and cookies
This launch build does not load third-party analytics, advertising scripts or tracking pixels. The newsletter form is a labelled placeholder until a provider, privacy notice and lawful collection process are configured.
Before adding non-essential cookies, pixels, link-decoration tracking or similar technologies, implement a consent mechanism that provides clear information and waits for an affirmative choice. Keep a current record of vendors, purposes and retention periods.
Young performers
The site publishes professional casting information only. It does not publish school details, private family information, personal schedules, real-time whereabouts or content that could facilitate harassment.
Location conduct
Working studios, closed sets, private land and residential homes are not visitor attractions. Location guides favour public attractions and normal tourism, and they avoid live production details.
Copyright and trademarks
This is an unofficial, independent fan publication. Harry Potter, HBO and related names, characters and marks belong to their respective rights holders. The site's original name, design and editorial copy do not imply endorsement or affiliation.
