Wizard World
A community-run REST API mirroring the Harry Potter Wiki: houses (with founders, ghosts, and heads), wizards, spells, elixirs, ingredients, and magical creatures, each returned as detailed JSON. Built and maintained by a small volunteer team (MossPiglets) on .NET/ASP.NET Core with a public Swagger spec, hosted free on Heroku with no key, account, or documented rate limit beyond the dyno's own capacity.
