  1. Fortunately, the Acromantula were still too scared from the centaurs to do anything, so he managed to get out of the forest anyway.
  2. The first idea that came to mind was rather simple, but I think it would be cool if Hogwarts: A History was enchanted to look like the sky, like the fact it mentions about the Great Hall's ceiling at Hogwarts. Maybe it could even have little glimmering lights to represent the candles too. When I think of Hogwarts, for me this ceiling is one of the first things to come to mind, the first element of the castle that really makes it feel magical. I think it would be a unique draw to replicate that effect in miniature for a book on the castle's history.
  3. The creature from the book of monsters that I've chosen to make a dance move for is the Limax. Using it's hammer-shapes head, multiple arms, and snake like lower body as inspiration, this dance move involves whacking your head up and down, alternating from the left to right side every other beat. At the same time, you'll throw your right arm up and your left arm down, and then switch them at the same timing as you switch which side your head is whacking to. Finally, you're also going to be sliding side to side while doing so. For this one at least, it doesn't matter which way you go, you just need to groove with the flow! Exercise great caution when executing this move, you may wish to stretch beforehand, especially your neck!
  4. Ideas for events and rooms the community centre could have include a fortnightly wizarding bingo night, a dance hall, meeting rooms, an experimental spells and potions room, and a community library. In my humble opinion, no community centre is complete without a bingo night and a room big enough to dance in. I think they'd really help to bolster community spirit too! Libraries are important for education, and I think having a safe area for experimental spells and potions could prevent accidents in the community from people practicing in areas that aren't equipped for such a thing. There could also be free monthly vaccinations and skin checks for those who can't otherwise afford them.
  5. The prize that went missing was unfortunately the Shield of Godric Gryffindor. Lesser known than the Sword of Godric Gryffindor, but no less worthy, this prize will be an amazing incentive for the raffle if we can find it in time. The shield has Godric's classic golden lion emblazoned on the front, and behind that are four sections of alternating red and gold. Two decorative golden stripes run vertically down the left hand side of the shield, and small golden stars are speckled throughout the background of the design. It has a bit of a kite shape, with it being rounded slightly at the top, and pointed at the bottom.
  6. Fairy Bread I know it's not the most involved recipe, or the heartiest meal, but it's the first dish I think of when I think of my home country, and we could use a few fun snacks for the celebration! Ingredients: - Bread (Traditionally a white loaf) - Margarine or Butter Spread (I use a dairy-free margarine) - 100s and 1000s (A.k.a. sprinkles!) To prepare this recipe, grab two slices of bread, preferably from a fresh white loaf. Slather some margarine or butter onto one side of both slices, and sprinkle your 100s and 1000s over the top of one slice until the spread is mostly covered. Fold the buttered slice that has no sprinkles over the slice with sprinkles. Cut both diagonals to form 4 small triangles. Repeat as desired until you have enough fairy Bread for your party.
  7. Godric made his way back out of the village square, and began heading towards the home of his goblin friend.
  8. I have decided to go with cute origami lion napkins for decorating the table. The napkins will be both functional and represent Gryffindor's house mascot well. To make the lions, you need to fold the napkin in half and then unfold it. You then fold the edges in to the centre line you just made, to make a kite shape. Tuck a tiny bit of the top layers underneath. Then, in the same kite shape as before, fold the top edges, but fold them behind instead of towards the centre. Next, fold the paper in half, and then make an inside reverse fold. Open up the front piece of paper and then fold the top half down. Fold just a little bit of the bottom of the top layer of paper underneath. You'll then want to fold the remaining right side (the body of the lion) in half towards the front, and then fold that part in half backwards and then forwards again to form the leg. And voila! You have a lion! Depending on how fancy we want the decorations we can leave it without a face for a more luxurious vibe, or we can add faces with a non-transferable marker or charm if we want it to be more lively for the fest.
  9. Lerpuddle Park, nestled at the edge of Godric's Hollow, is a small park with a rather amusing history. The park was developed communally by a group of volunteer witches and wizards living in the Hollow. One such member, the park's eventual namesake Mr Richard Lerpuddle, decided that he would personally oversee the creation of a water feature in the middle of the park. Unfortunately for Mr Lerpuddle, as he was casting the final spell to charm the water fountain to have dancing spouts of water, a group of unruly kids Bowles him over. With the spell being interrupted, instead of creating water spouts, the fountain started overflowing with foam and thousands of bubbles started floating into the sky. While the adults were initially flustered, the children were of course delighted, immediately diving into the huge new bubble bath to play. The floating bubbles began popping and showering the kids with rainbow bursts of water. As it was apparent the incident didn't cause any harm, it wasn't long until the adults joined in on the fun, laughing and adding to the chaos by starting a huge water fight. In the end, the fountain was restored to normal, and the park was officially opened not with a solemn ceremony, but with a bubbly, raucous celebration and a reconvening of the water fight. The villagers wholeheartedly embraced the pandemonium, naming the park in honor of their the wizard who's fumbled spell had given them such fond memories. Legend has it that every now and again a giant cloud of bubbles will still float up from the fountain in Lerpuddle Park.
  10. Bow. The hippogriff considers you for a moment and then bows back. It lowers its neck. Do you give the hippogriff a pat or climb onto it's back?
  11. 1. Haunted House: I've never taken part in one, but I feel that haunted houses should be pinnacle to any festival happening in October. Not to mention you have to be pretty daring to set foot inside one, so it's the perfect fit for a Gryffindor celebration! 2. Butterbeer Drinking contest: Taking inspiration from the muggle Oktoberfest, this competition would see participants drinking as much butterbeer as possible within a time limit. Anything timed like this is sure to get the blood pumping and it is something that any guest can get involved with! 3. Musical acts: What better way to keep a festival lovely than music? Preferably we would get bands in that play upbeat music to keep the atmosphere electrifying. 4. A glow-in-the-dark experience: Another way to put everyone's bravery to the test, in a fun sensory experience. People will kit up with glowsticks and glow-in-the-dark facepaint before entering a dark room that holds different light displays to interact with. 5. Fireworks closing ceremony: Many festivals that I have been to before close with extravagant fireworks festivals. With magic involved, this could make an unbelievable and unforgettable experience to end out Gryfftoberfest.
  12. Getting involved rather late, but here I go!
