Prof. Sky Alton

If you've already started the Gryfftoberfest Quest then you have an extra day and a half to complete it. Due to the trouble we've been having with the various websites, I wanted to extend the deadline slightly to give those of you who are already part way through a fighting chance to get to the end. Make sure you get your tasks in before the 3rd of November at 11:59 PM HOL-time if you want them to count for rubies!

Plenty of excitement around The Den this week! Join us in the Hogsmeade Post Office for Owl Winter Long or have a look at the new issue of the Paw Print, our house newspaper. (Or you could do both... definitely do both)

Remember there's still a few more hours to earn points with Creature Card Corral over on the main forum. While you're there, make sure to check out The Land of the Sweets which begins on Monday! Any extra points you can earn will help the house. Let's go, Gryffindor, let's go!

You have just over 48 hours to turn in things for Owl Winter Long! We'll need everything signed, sealed and delivered by 11:59 PM HOL-time on December 20th.

Putting the finishing touches on Decembers fun. Get ready to head to the ski slopes!

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

To paraphrase Hamlet: mottos, mottos, mottos. Get them in! (Or else be subjected to even more of my literary nerdiness)

Head over to the Current Activities section and check out The Spell-ing Bee! Join us for a series of small but spellbinding challenges to finish off the term.

Lions, be sure to check out the request for your feedback in the Announcements forum. We want to know what you'd like to see around here this coming school year!

Does the walker choose the path or the path the walker?

Happy Gryfftoberfest, everyone! And remember: we're not lost, we're exploring.

Come and join us at The Three Broomsticks!

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!

Do you want to help make Gryffindor even better? If you're a Gryffindor student and you've been a member of HOL for over 5 months, you should consider joining the staff as a Junior Prefect. Head over to the Guidelines forum for more information!

Head to the Current Activities section to check out Summer Wand-erings! We're spending a magical summer at Ollivanders, learning just what goes into creating the very finest wands. You've got until 21 August to get involved, so plenty of time!

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

Join us at the Frost Fair for snowy fun on the frozen lake!

Fancy giving Quidditch a try? Don't forget there's an informal pickup match in a few hours. Join us at 9 PM HOL!

Gryffindors! We need your help. Head over to Here Dwell the Brave to find out more.

Ready for Gryfftoberfest 2018? Go enter the motto contest!

It's not too late to earn some points! Come on, Gryffs, let's finish the year in style. Every assignment helps.

Just over a day left to finish the forest tasks and enjoy our fest of mini-games. Help us see Gryfftoberfest off in style!

Attention! There are creatures loose in the castle! This is not a drill (or an April Fools for that matter). Help us get them home and earn some rubies into the bargain.

Remember all your creature related tasks are due tomorrow!

There are over 285 extra house points for the earning around the castle right now! Head over to Madam Pince's board to learn how to get your paws on them. Let's go, Gryffindor, let's go!
