It is currently the summer holidays in the Wizarding World. Everyone is free to post at their homes, out and about, on holiday in the world somewhere, students can shop for supples and Hogwarts Staff can get to the school early to get this ready for the start of the term.

We will be starting Hogwarts as soon as possible, there are still positions for Professors left if you wish to apply.

New dates are in red.

18 Jul to 15 Aug - Quidditch World Cup Final
25 August to 22 Aug - Hogwarts Express
8 August - Opening Feast at Hogwarts
COMING SOON - Lessons Begin

Upgrade Your Profiles Free!
For the moment, you can apply for a Upgraded Profile without the needed credits, this will not be available forever and is to get the forum up and running and for you to have something to do.

Get a Home for Free!
I have already given a couple characters their own homes for free, why not get one created too? This offer will not be available forever and would usually cost you a hundred credits!

Congratulations To Hermione Granger!

IC Interview
Lets hear all about Hermione Granger.

Mr. Bee: How does it feel to be back at Hogwarts?
Hermione: Brilliant! I love school.

Mr. Bee: Your well known for your cleverness, do you already have ideas for a career in the future?
Hermione: I have been researching a lot of options, but I think it's too early for me to really decide on which path to choose. I haven't even taken my O.W.L.s yet! I suppose after I see how I do on my exams I'll have a clearer view of my future.

Mr. Bee: What lessons are you looking forward to and what are your favourites?
Hermione: Oh, where do I begin? I'm really, really excited about my newest classes, specifically the study of ancient runes and arithmancy, but I'll also be glad to be going back to Care of Magical Creatures as well. Defense is always and interesting challenge, and as dull as it can be, history of magic is incredibly useful. I'm also looking forward to my favorite subjects, charms and transfiguration, but I hope to better myself in potions and herbology, and I know that I could do better in astronomy.

Mr. Bee: Are you loooking forward to the Triwizard Tournament?
Hermione: Dreading it, more like! I think it's a barbaric, outdated tradition that was disbanded for the past two-hundred years for a reason. It's so dangerous and dreadful and I cannot see why anyone would want to watch someone else put their lives at risk just for some stupid cup! That's my opinion.


Mr. Bee: Will you be getting to know any of the students from the other schools?
Hermione: Oh, of course! I very much look forward to meeting the students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons! I would love to know where Durmstrang is located, but I suppose they cannot tell us, can they? And I've always been intrigued by the methods of instruction at Beauxbatons, and I wonder how they will find Hogwarts when they are here.

Cedric Diggory
Welcome Cedric our new character from a current member, he has been made a Hufflepuff Prefect like in the books/films and joins Nerina Chase who is the female Prefect.


We also have a couple characters currently in the making which I hope will be finished to join us sometime this week.
