    We are THRILLED to have so many interested parties, and considering means of accommodating more, but at this time we are unable to accept additional students to the Waiting Lists. This challenge has been successful in the past and will likely be again, so you can easily anticipate a Winter Term opening as well. Stay tuned!

    ADDENDUM: We are in the process of considering upping the limits per House, but that has not been decided at the time of this post. Please stay tuned for additional information once it becomes available. Those who signed up on the initial Enrollment post up to page 13 (the "CLOSED" notice) have been entered to the Waiting List and will be contacted.

    How come there is a limit? Are all the dorm rooms filled?

    Is there some kind of fire code violation or something?

    Primarily due to the issues surrounding management of a very large group of participants over various challenges. We have increased the number of administrators this term; however, even with the magic of digital documentation and the glory of spreadsheets, running a challenge in which points are tallied for many different types of activities and which hundreds of people are involved in can be a daunting task. Even at Hogwarts, not all rooms can stretch to accommodate as many students as might be interested or qualified in a term.

    Unfortunately we do also have lives outside of Hogwarts. :wink:

    I am skeptical about this challenge as there is no sorting hat. Too many people requesting the same house.


    A sorting hat is in order!

    If you do end up upping the capacity I would like you to let me in to any dorm available. Also, Hufflepuff is the cutest name ever.

    If it's any consolation, the Sorting Hat did actually take students' preferences into account when placing them - and many of our students here have requested "any house", regardless. :)

    Given the popularity of this topic, perhaps Beauxbatons and Durmstrang would also consider entering, in which case I would happily drop my name into the Goblet of Fire. In the meantime though, in case the dorms become magically larger, or the room of requirement appears, I'd like to join the waiting lists for Gryffindor or Hufflepuff.

    now this sounds very interesting! why not organise this and have the 3 schools compete each other in challenges as well along side? :)

    Please see the additional information under http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1359621-hogwarts-weight-loss-challenge-is-closed regarding this option. We'd love to see it happen, but cannot actively work to do so at this time.

    I know I missed enrollment :( But I would LOOOOVEE to be added if you guys do expand this. I'm such a Potterhead, and it starts on my birthday...how perfect is that???

    If possible, I'd like to be placed into Ravenclaw. Thank you.

    If not, next time you guys do this, PLEASE send me a message so that for sure will be in. :)
