    Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge [Term 14] - 8 Week Challenge

    Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is approaching our 14th term and we're opening up the application to anyone would like to apply :)

    First, some information about what to expect from your term at Hogwarts:

    Basics:
    • It is an 8 week challenge that will run from Monday, April 3rd (with starting weigh-in on March 31st through April 2nd) through Sunday, May 28th. Time to get ready for summer!
    • The term will be themed around the 6th Harry Potter book - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
    • We have a variety of challenges including food/dietary challenges (Potions), trivia (Defense Against the Dark Arts), and physical challenges (Quidditch), as well as other challenges including some based around the term's theme.
    • All players will be sorted into houses. These are your teams - look to each other for advice, support, and motivation.
    • Each week, players will weigh themselves on either Friday, Saturday, or Sunday (EST). Weight loss will be totaled up (not by pounds lost, but by percentage, similar to the Muggle television show Biggest Loser) for each house.
    • Houses will be awarded house points based on challenges completed each week.
    • The House Cup will be awarded to the house with the most points at the end of the term!

    For those interested in enrolling in Hogwarts, here is the application form for you to complete: https://hogwartsmfp.typeform.com/to/ijSom2
    -If you have trouble submitting the typeform, feel free to PM me your answers and I will submit them for you!

    We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible to ensure you don't miss out on a place at the school. In order to maintain a similar number of students in each house, students may be invited to join houses other than their first choice. If you list a dealbreaker house (or indicate that you only want your first choice), that will be respected, but you will be less likely to get a place at Hogwarts due to space availability. Please be assured that if we are unable to sort you into a house at this stage, we will place you on the wait list for any openings that arise throughout the term.

    Once you have been accepted, a prefect will contact you and you will receive an invitation to the School group and your House Common Room here on MFP. Acceptance owls (as well as Wait List owls) are planned to be sent out around ~3/28 (shortly before term will begin). If you are worried about whether your application was received before than, feel free to send me a PM and I can confirm if it was received. You may submit an application using the typeform during
    --If you see this thread after the challenge has begun and want to apply, you may use the typeform application since it will place you on the wait list (although please PM @Kisame29 to be added to the wait list if it has been than one month since this post).

    Hogwarts is an equal opportunity school and has openings available for people with all levels of ability, as well as places for students who are maintaining or gaining weight. There are always modifications allowed on the main tasks to allow students of all fitness levels participate.

    Questions may be posted here. I hope to see many of you join us at Hogwarts :)

    Sincerely yours,
    Kisame29 (Hogwarts Headgirl)

      Hi! I filled out the form for the waiting list a while ago. Should I re-do it?

      Nope. No need to re-do it. I checked the list and can confirm that we received your application. We're still setting up things at the castle but owls should start to fly sometime next week.
