Welcome (or welcome back) to a new year at Hogwarts. If you haven't had the opportunity yet, please read our BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO MAGIC to learn how to get acquainted with our school.
Why don't you start by exploring the castle, and earning house points while you're at it?
We thought we'd start the year off with a bang - actually, a competition, of sorts. And what better than to have a competition amongst houses? In this game, you'll earn house points for your house. Yes, that means Professors are not eligible to earn house points. Neither are website admin. But, these people can certainly help you reach your objectives. Take note that we may continue to add objectives as time goes on, but we will post here letting you know when we do.
The wars will end on the 18th July.
Here are some guidelines:- Complete objectives in roleplay format.
- Posts should be at least 200 words each to earn house points.
- Normal objectives will only earn points if you complete the preliminary objectives.
- Posts made in common rooms don't count, unless specified.
- You may only complete each objective once, unless specified.
- If we notice you are only starting threads and leaving them, we will not count them towards house points.
- Please complete objectives in the Hogwarts and Hogsmeade areas.
- Objective suggestions may be owled to me for galleons.
