Didn't you copy this off of another hogwarts group? Like almost everything?
Mod
Oh, did they approve? If they did I'll be happy to help you in any way!
Mod
Oh, well do you need help?
Mod
Don't worry, we'll rebuild this group to be ours? Make it original and good, and I'll invite everyone. 'Just like in the When Marvel meets DC group' what do you say?
Mod
Welcome to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the finest school in all of Britain!
No, I'm kidding.
Here at Hogwarts, you have the opportunity to attend classes and complete homework, interact with other students, duel, and earn/lose points for your house. Many of you are probably scratching your heads at this point saying "But how?" Well chaps, I was just about to explain, so read on!
Choosing Your Username
It's time for you to choose a username. This will be the name of your student character throughout his or her time at Hogwarts. The name of your character will be the name that appears next to your posts. For example, my name appears as Emma.
To change that name, click on 'edit profile.' Then, change the name found in the "First Name" text box. Whatever you type into that box will appear on your comments. For example, if you wanted your name to be 'Neville Longbottom' you would type that entire phrase into the first name txt box. Please make sure the name you've chosen:
• includes a first name and a last name
• is not excessively long
• does not include any numbers or symbols
• is not of a salacious or sexually connotative nature
• does not contain any bad words
• has not already been chosen by another member
The moderators may change the name or delete an account if the name is found to be inappropriate. The name may be taken from the Harry Potter books series.
The Sorting Hat
All students have the opportunity to sort themselves when they make a role-play character.
Prefects and Head Girl/Boy
Hogwarts will select a fifth year boy and girl from each house to serve as prefects, and a seventh year boy and girl to serve as the wad boy and girl. The Head Boy and Girl will be given moderator privileges (which is usually just reserved for teachers). With the role of prefect or head boy/girl comes much responsibility. The students who display the most effort, respect, and kindness will be chosen for these positions.
House Points
Once you are sorted into your house, you will either earn or lose house points. You will earn points by answering questions correctly during the class role play, submitting an exceptional homework assignment, winning a duel, etc. The house with the most points at the end of each school year wins the house cup!
Duels
Students have the opportunity to participate in duels, which take place in the form of role play. To participate in a duel, ONE of the competitors must start a new thread. The title should be ___ and ___'s duel, and the comment should be the start of the duel. The winner will gain points for their house, while the loser will lose points for their house. And if you're caught duelling by a teacher or prefect, you might both lose house points. That's only if you're caught, though.
Moderators
To be promoted to the position of moderator is a great responsibility. In general, a moderator must spend three-four hours a week aiding the group. To become a moderator, you must first become a member of the group. You must also invite 5 other friends to become members to qualify. All members' actions are recorded, and a member that participates, is constantly polite, and contributes regularly will be a worthy candidate to become a moderator. Moderators can also contribute to the writing of the Daily Prophet, which is our news and updates. I will assign each moderator a job. There will be an active moderator who will be in charge of everything, if no mods are present. There are numerous jobs available, so abide by the rules and you might be asked to fill one of those positions. Enjoy the group!
Quidditch
It couldn't be Hogwarts without Quidditch! Each house has its own Quidditch team which holds tryouts, practices on a daily basis, and even competes in matches. For more information, please visit the section of the group pertaining to Quidditch.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here. And with that, I have a few last words I would like to share: nitwit, oddment, blubber, tweak. Good evening!
