Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is approaching our 15th 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, June 19th (with starting weigh-in 6/16-6/18) through Sunday, August 13th to help keep you motivated through the summer!
- The term will be themed around the 7th Harry Potter book - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
- 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/CSrRm6
-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 ~6/13 (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, although if you would like a quick answer please send me a PM! I hope to see many of you join us at Hogwarts
Sincerely yours,
Kisame29 (Hogwarts Headgirl)

I love seeing all the interest in the challenge!
As a reminder - Owls are planned to go out on Tuesday 6/13. You should receive a PM if you were accepted or a wait list PM if there is not an open spot. The key point is that you should hear from someone by the morning of Wednesday 6/14 (since some PMs might go out late Tuesday night). I will make a post here if this plan changes though.
Of course, feel free to PM me if you'd just like to confirm that your application was received

Just another update for those eagerly awaiting news of Term 15. Owls (PMs) will be going out either late this evening and/or tomorrow (potentially very late on Tuesday evening).
If you applied and have not heard anything by Wednesday afternoon, feel free to send me a PM! But please give our staff until the afternoon of Wednesday, June 14th to send out the PMs.
Thank you!3 -
