After the raffle proceeds were collected and ideas for the community center poured in, it was time to create the floor plan! The mayor invited the most creative minds behind the best ideas and asked them to collaborate, designing the rooms that would soon serve the entire wizarding community. Help out with the floor plan and solve the slitherlink puzzle below. Instructions: To solve a Slitherlink puzzle you must draw one single loop by joining the dots with horizontal and vertical lines. The loop cannot touch or cross itself at any point. Wherever a number appears in the grid, there must be that many horizontal and vertical line segments adjacent to it (immediately left/right/up/down). To earn 20 rubies, send your solution to me with the title 'Task 12: Floor Plan' by 11:59 pm HOL-time on October 31st.

River Fenwick Galena May Adeline Morior are the people who have helped with sewing the banner.

Oh no! Strong wind blew across the village square and before the organizers could get the weather under control, it tore down the village hall banner. While the mayor and some others rushed to calm the pandemonium, you decided to make a run for the banner so many of you worked hard on. Sew the seams together to make the banner whole by solving the provided hashi. Click here for a bigger picture. To earn 20 rubies, send your solution to me with the title 'Task 8: Sewing a Banner' by 11:59 pm HOL-time on October 31st.

The best time of the year is coming! We call upon all of HOL, students and staff alike, to submit mottos for our annual Gryfftoberfest! This year, our theme is "Celebration at Godric’s Hollow to mark the 1,100th anniversary of Godric Gryffindor's birth", so channel your inner bard (or party planner) and join us for a month of fun. Gryfftoberfest is an annual celebration where all of the Gryffindor house and our friends come together for a month-long party of butterbeer and craziness! Mottos should represent our theme and Gryffindor as a whole! There are some rules, of course... Keep your mottos to 15 words or less and entirely HOL appropriate. You must be happy for people to reuse your motto on signatures and other creative submissions. You will earn 5 rubies per Motto for the first 5 you submit (so 25 in all). You can submit more for consideration but you will not earn rubies for them. Third place will win an extra 10 rubies, second place an extra 15 and first place an extra 20 rubies for your gem collection. Winners are decided by the Gryffindor staff. Send your mottos to me (Prof. Maxim Trevelyan) in a Gryff PM and title it "Motto Contest 2024". Remember to include your name and your house in the message. Please try to send all your mottos in one or two messages so my inbox does not stage a revolt. The deadline is 11:59 PM HOL time on Friday, September 27th 2024.

Our lovely Fat Lady not only guards the entrance to our common room, but also hosts a forum for all kind of discussions. Do you want to discuss something you have read or watched lately? Do you have thoughts on anything related to Harry Potter? Maybe you just want to share something silly? Whatever it is, this is the place to talk about it. Please make sure you follow HOL and Gryffindor forum rules when posting and reply to threads, thank you! The house colours are scarlet and gold.

In this post, you will find the current staff of Gryffindor House and what positions they hold. You can also consult our guide down below if you have a matter you need to raise with one of us, but want to make sure you approach the right person! CHAIN OF COMMAND The chain of command is as follows. Student → Junior Prefect → Prefect / Professor → Prefect in Charge (if there is one) → Deputy Head of House → Head of House What the Different Ranks Mean Junior prefects (JPs) are students who have volunteered to help out around the Common Room and may later become full prefects. Full prefects help run Gryffindor but also have responsibilities to the whole school. The Prefect in Charge (PiC) oversees all the other prefects and junior prefects - we may not always have a PiC depending on the number and seniority of staff. Professors are teachers who have chosen to be part of Gryffindor. They are not expected to help out around the Common Room but lots choose to do so. The Deputy Head of House helps the Head of House with everything relating to Gryffindor. The Head of House oversees everything related to Gryffindor, including appointing staff and making sure things run smoothly. OUR STAFF The current head of house (HoH) is @Prof. Sky Alton. @Prof. Maxim Trevelyan currently serves as Deputy Head of House (DHoH). Our prefect team currently consists of prefect @Janne Halla and junior prefect @Lorainia Riverrider. We currently have one Gryffindor professor: @Prof. Amy Lupin WHO TO CONTACT Junior Prefects and Prefects are your first port of call. They are here to help organise events and keep the house a safe, fun environment. If you are having an issue with someone or something in the house, please raise it with either a Junior Prefect or a Prefect. Even if they do not think they can deal with it, they will pass it on to the right people higher up in the chain of command. Also, if you have an idea for Gryffindor, please pass that along to a Junior Prefect or a Prefect as they are always looking to work with students to improve the House. If you feel an issue is particularly serious or you are not comfortable discussing it with a Prefect, please approach the Deputy or the Head of House: they can talk to other authorities in HOL if needed. He selected students for his house based upon their daring and bravery.

What are Rubies? Rubies are Gryffindor’s internal points: you will earn them for taking part in activities and generally being active around the Den. Not only do they look pretty in your personal miniature hourglass, you will also have the chance to vie for our very shiny termly awards for the highest ruby count. Both Gryffindors and visitors can earn Rubies through activities. Gryffindors will also have the chance to earn them through actions that support the House, taking part in things in our Gryffindor-only area and similar. Only Gryffindor staff have the power to award Rubies. The number of Rubies you have earned during the current term will be displayed beneath your name on the Common Room and also on your profile. In addition, you will also be able to check the Ruby standings on the main page where the top earners are displayed. The Ruby count will reset every term: any Rubies you earn over the summer will be added to your total for the next term. At the end of each term (autumn and spring), the prestigious awards I mentioned earlier will be awarded: The Phoenix Award for the Gryffindor with the highest number of rubies and The Lionheart Award for our top earning visitor. To be in with a chance of scooping one, you will need to have your ear to the ground for Gryffindor goings-on and be as active as possible around the Common Room. Good luck!

Happy birthday!

Cheese winners are: Prof. Amy Lupin River Fenwick Prof. Will Lestrange Lex Green Dibyarup James Potter Lexa Winslow Adeline Morior Galena May Ellie Vernez

Do you want to combine fun and sports? Look no further than marble runs. An interesting tidbit, the longest marble run was recorded in 2017 and it was 2,858.9 meters long. Though some runs are more racing-oriented, with one in particular sponsored by an extremely popular talk show! Alas, as the competitors were preparing for the annual marble run, the captain marbles of five teams went missing! There are five marbles hidden somewhere around the Den - the Gryffindor forum. Your job is to find them and get them to their teams so the 2024 Marble Run can proceed. Marbles are hidden in the areas accessible to all members. Each marble will be accompanied by a quote related to sports so you’ll know it’s the right one. When you find a marble, you need to either submit to us the link (by using the ‘share’ button, you should get the link) OR the title of the thread and who is the author of the post in which the marble is hidden (e.g. Title: Sparkly Shiny Unicorns, author Prof. Sky Alton) OR a combination of both. Do NOT share any locations you found with anyone either via PMs or in public forums. Keep it fair, everyone! To earn 10 rubies (2 per found marble) and get the chance to choose cards for this task, please send your findings as indicated via the group PM you should have set up with us by 11:59 pm HOL-time on the 18th of August. The cards for this task are Ten of Diamonds, Ten of Spades, and Seven of Hearts. Once you’ve completed the task, please pick two (2) and let us know via the Exploding Snap message chain you should already have with us.
