Attention all would-be Wizards, Witches, Half-bloods, Squibs and Muggles.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are approaching their tenth term, and we are looking for applicants to join for the new term.
Firstly, some information about what to expect from your term at Hogwarts:
Basics:
- This will be an 10 week term, running from Monday, May 30th through Sunday, August 7th. (The starting weigh-in will take place the weekend before term starts as usual).
- 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 how much weight was lost. The house with the largest percentage will receive the most points, and the house with the smallest percentage will receive the least.
- The term will include mini challenges each week, which will include: Quidditch (exercise), Potions (food/dietary), Defense Against the Dark Arts (trivia etc - we are a school after all), as well as a multitude of other small challenges. There is ALWAYS something happening at Hogwarts!
- The House Cup will be awarded to the house with the most points at the end of the term! Last term it was Slytherin!
Benefits:
- Geek out over all things Harry Potter with like-minded people! The entire challenge is Harry Potter themed, right down to the names of the threads in the group.
- Make friends, and be supported by a fantastic group of people!
- Relax! This is a safe, stress-free challenge. No one is voted off if they do not lose every week.
- Get motivated! We'll push you every day with different health-related challenges. Do what you can, and you'll probably find you're more capable than you thought!
- Lose weight!
For those interested in enrolling in Hogwarts, here is the application form for you to complete: Hogwarts Term 10 Application
We encourage you to submit your application as early as possible to ensure you don't miss out on a place at the school. There are only a small number of vacancies available in each house.
Once you have been accepted, your house prefect will be in contact and you will receive an invitation to the School group and your House Common Room here on MFP. Please be assured though, that if we are unable to sort you into a house at this stage, we will wait-list you for any vacancies that arise throughout the term.
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.
Questions may be posted here, or sent via owl (Muggles call them... PM's?).
Yours in wizarding,
YumeSoraki, Slytherin Prefect

I highly recommend the challenge I'm one of the Ravenclaw prefects and I've been in the challenge since Term 3 (as a regular student for a couple of the terms and prefect for the others) and I love it! Lots of Harry Potter themed things in addition to helping me stay on track!5

@RammLT
Even if you're late their will always be people who drop. Additionally, there is a waitlist group for people to engage in nerdiness of HP as well as a host of mini-challenges related to exercise, food, and trivia.1 -

They go out by your prefect. Typically within a day or 2. I cover Slytherin.0 -
I highly recommend this challenge. Even if you get wait listed. One of the best run groups I've come across. I did 7 terms before having to sit out the last couple due to surgeries. Definitely hope to be able to return to Hogwarts soon.0
