  1. "I've lost them!" "Your marbles?" "The Deathly Hallows!"-the chaos that ensues from trying to put HP charms on an incredibly fiddly bracelet.

  2. According to the forums it's your birthday ... so happy Birthday :D

    1. Prof. Sirius Fudge

      Prof. Sirius Fudge

      Happy birthday, Hailey! :)

  3. Back to witches and wizards and magical beasts, to goblins and ghosts and to magicl feasts; it's all that I love and it's all that I need!

  4. Bound for The Land of Limited WiFi but looking forward to Gryffindor socialising when I get back!

      We'll wait for you!!

  5. Does the walker choose the path or the path the walker?

  6. Each time you smile, it'll only last a while. Life maybe scary but it's only temporary.

      It's from the finale of the Musical Avenue Q. Most of the songs are unquotably inappropriate for HOL but this tiny snippet is great. ;)

  7. Getting a lot of Internal Server errors from the CR, anyone else?

    1. Prof. Jenny Lupin

      Prof. Jenny Lupin

      Yep, we are looking into it. :) We think it is something with the host...

      Ah, good! Just wanted to check ;)

  8. Happy holidays, lions! (And obviously to any other beings who happen to be around)

  9. Heat wave....to quote another witch 'I'm meeeelting!' Please send ice.

  11. It would appear that I'm a 4th year..... time at Hol is flashing past.

  12. Missing: My Motivation. Fear it may have escaped while I wasn't looking and  been hit by a car. Reward for information.

      Ours probably escaped to Antarctica together.

      Prof. Sky Alton

      Gosh darn it. Well, I hope they have fun motivatedly building igloos and snowmen without us.

  13. Paw Print Article complete, just a story to magic up now! Anyone got a quick quotes quill handy?

  14. Pottermore says my patronus is a Nebelung cat. Anyone else discovered their's?

      Ugh, why won't they make it accessible?? That's awful. :(

      I'm also not much of a dog person, but still got an Ibizan Hound. They seem like super nice dogs, though! And it's comforting to imagine them chasing bad thoughts away... ahhh.

      Reggy, for most people, it's just a case of not thinking until it's either to late or enough people hammer it into the corperate consciousness. I recently upgraded to windows ten and the accessability advice for most functions was  'Screen reader users are advised not to use this feature at this time'.

      But you have to pick your battles in life and Pottermore (let alone Microsoft) is not one I currently have the disgruntled disabled person clout for.

      Sorry guys! Tangent. If it's any comfort, I love all of your patronuses (Beagles are one of my favourite breeds and Amanda's made the Philip Pullman fangirl in me squeal)

      Dolphin, here. I was disappointed at first because I wanted an owl, but now I LOVE it.

  15. Randomly struck by how lovely the word leonine is. Say it with me....leonine.

    1. Prof. Tarma Amelia Black

      Prof. Tarma Amelia Black

      It is, isn't it.  But now I realize I've never said it out loud -- just read it! So how does one pronounce leonine?  Sort of like I never knew how to say Hermione until I heard it in the movie.  I think I was saying it, in my head, Herm-E-on. Ooops.  :)

    2. Prof. Sky Alton

      Prof. Sky Alton

      I believe it's Lee-on-nine (though I've heard some people say neen). My friend's dad read HP aloud to her and to this day she finds it weird hearing people pronouncing Slytherin as 'slither-in' because apparently he said it very differently!

  16. Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lanes, snow is glistening....

  17. Someone just used the term 'Dark Mark' on the news. Everybody take cover!

    1. Alessandra Grace

      Alessandra Grace

      Wait, what!? O.O

  18. Someone save me from my own powers of procrastination

  19. What do you get when you cross a lion with a guard dog? ...A terrified Postman. (Too bad not to share)

    1. Prof. Tarma Amelia Black
    2. Prof. Sky Alton

      Prof. Sky Alton

      I'd be lion if I said that wasn't justified

  20. Yo, lirking Lions, harry Potter Book Festival over at the Bookclub on the hol forum, be there! (Well...if you want...and who wouldn't want more of my questionable humour?)

  21. A massive congratulations to Amanda for the hard work that led her to be crowned Mx Gryffindor. You did the house proud!

    1. Amanda P. X. Sim

      Amanda P. X. Sim

      Oh gosh I just saw this! <3 Thank you so much Sky!

  22. Absolutely loving the CR's makeover! Thank you Dario, just don't forget to put the sledge hammer and wrecking ball safely away, will you? ;)

    1. Prof. Tarma Amelia Black

      Prof. Tarma Amelia Black

      he loaned them to me, Sky  (thanks Dario!  <3)

      It looks really good, indeed! :)

  23. Amazing work, Gryffies. Whether you're planning to stick around for July and August (there's plenty of fun scheduled!) or if we'll see you back on 1st September, I hope everyone has an incredible summer.

    1. Iverian Gnash

      Iverian Gnash

      Have a great summer everyone! Congratulations on propelling Gryffindor into second!! Amazing work everyone :D

  24. Aplications to teach a class have just opened! If you have an amazing idea for a class, you have until August 25th to get your website up and running with your first 2 lessons /assignments and fill in the shiny new forms on the classes tab.

      I would like that Sky. Cause I would love to see if this kind of class I had in mind would work really well or not.

    3. Prof. Sky Alton

      Prof. Sky Alton

      Well, drop me a PM any time :)

  25. As well as participating in our sensational  TBTB contest, you can also help Gryff horde points for next term! Head over to the Hol Forum and check out the Bookclub's Philosopher's Stone activity-90 points would be a great way to start the next school year.
