  1. Fires lit and cauldrons at the ready because we’re stepping into the world of clever concoctions, thanks to “Magical Drafts and Potions” by Arsenius Jigger This is a very useful guide to the essentials of potion making and is used as a core text for the younger students at Hogwarts. It contains the recipes for many bubbling brews, as well as information on various ingredients. Task 1: Task 2: ask 3: T
  2. Potions are a very powerful magical tool. But they are also very delicate and can go wrong all-too easily. Stir clockwise instead of anti-clockwise or add an extra drop of pomegranate juice and who knows what might happen? The publishers would like to expand the text with some cautionary tales about what happens when potions aren’t brewed with due care and attention. Please tell us about a famous instance of a potions mishap in 100 words or more. What went wrong with the potion? What were the consequences? You decide. Post your mishaps below by 23:59 HOL-time on the 30th of November to earn 10 rubies.
  3. Wishing @Prof. Maxim Trevelyan the happiest of birthdays! *Hands out decadent Nutella cupcakes decorated with cat faces*
  4. Notes @Tavryn Lowe I edited your username to include capitals and a space so it matches your HOL name and you were approved as a Slytherin visitor.
  5. Approved Jaze Lannister - first year Victoria Rivera - Slytherin visitor
  6. You come across a group sitting around a large bonfire. Someone stands up and starts to tell a story. After a few words, they turn to the person on their right who jumps up to continue the tale. It seems like you’ve arrived just in time… You shyly find a seat and wait for your turn to join in… We know quite a bit about what Godric Gryffindor got up to as a full grown wizard but very little about his childhood. What scrapes did he get himself into? How did he come to value bravery and chivalry so highly? Let’s find out! For this game, we’re going to team up to tell a story about Godric as a lad. Each person will pick up the story where the previous person left off. For example: Person 1: On a misty morning, before the sun was up, Godric Gryffindor crept out of his parents’ house… Person 2: he wandered along the lane for a while, until he heard a strange sound from a nearby field… And so on Guidelines: Each post you make should be at least 15 words long. Don’t post back to back – wait for someone else to post before going again Try to respect what other people wrote and build on it, rather than drastically changing direction. You can earn 5 rubies per post for your first 4 posts, meaning you can net 20 in all. The deadline is 23:59 HOL-time on the 31st of October. Alrighty then, off we go! I’ll start… On a misty morning, before the sun was up, Godric Gryffindor crept out of his parents’ house

  8. Happiest of birthdays to the wonderful @Prof. Dario Brighton! Let the butterbeer flow.
  9. Wishing @Harmony Potts an amazing birthday! I’ll hand round the cupcakes.
  10. Godric’s Hollow might be a cosy little place but it’s still possible to take a wrong turning here and there. The mayor is concerned that visitors might do just that (the last thing we need is someone getting over excited and asking a non-magical resident for directions…!) To make sure people can find their way, you need to produce a map for the partygoers. To help you get to grip with the village’s layout, solve this nurikabe puzzle. To earn 20 rubies, send your solution to @Prof. Amy Lupin by 23:59 HOL-time on the 31st of October.
  11. Thank you all for wending your way (back) to the castle with us! It was lots of fun reading through your responses and seeing you acing the trivia. Rubies will be awarded very shortly. When you get them, please let us know if you think there’s been a miscalculation so we can look into it for you. Remember we’re off to Godric’s Hollow for Gryfftoberfest! Join us over there for lots more magic.
  12. Happy Gryfftoberfest, everyone!
