Looking to get ready for summer? Perhaps join us at Hogwarts to help get in shape and work towards your weight loss goals! Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is approaching our 24th term and we're opening up the application to anyone would like to apply :)

Term 24 information:
  • Term 24 will be a 9 week term themed around Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
  • The term will run from Friday, April 19th (with starting weigh-in starting that Friday and the full activities beginning on Monday) through Sunday, June 23rd. You should join by Friday, April 19th to keep your place.
  • You will receive notification via owl (PM/email) if you have been accepted or put on the wait list. Owls should go out on Tuesday, April 16th through Wednesday, April 17th (and should be received by the end of Wednesday, April 17th). If you do NOT join by 11:59 pm ET on Friday, April 19th or respond to the prefect that PM'd you, then your spot will be given to someone on the wait list. So make sure to respond to your acceptance PM to hold your space :)
  • Wait List Owls will be sent as emails (since they are more reliable) while acceptance Owls may be PMs or emails based on how the prefects decide to send them. The key point is to check both the email you gave us in the application AND your PMs.
  • If you have not received ANY PM or email by the morning of Friday, April 19th, please feel free to PM me or one of the headgirls @Maalea or @fithphoenix so one of us can help you figure out what happened (ie if you just didn't receive your PM/email, if there was a typo in your username on the application, etc). Everyone who applied should receive SOME type of message (PM or email) by Friday, April 19th if we successfully received your application.
  • We also highly suggest joining Hogsmeade Village since we will be using that group to help communicate with everyone between terms (and communicate with wait listers during a term).

General Information:
  • We have a variety of challenges including food/dietary challenges (Potions), trivia (Defense Against the Dark Arts), and physical challenges (Quidditch), in addition to special challenges to match the theme.
  • We also have a weekly weigh-in every Friday through Sunday.
  • We require a certain amount of participation each week and you may be expelled for missing too many challenges without giving appropriate notification to your prefect. Full details are in the rules although PM if you have questions!

Feel free to contact a member of the staff with any questions including our headgirls @fitphoenix and @Maalea. You may also post in this thread or contact @Kisame29 (Hogwarts Deputy Headmistress) to confirm that your application was received.

We highly suggest applying as soon as possible to guarantee yourself a spot.

Sincerely,
Kisame
(Deputy Headmistress)

    Hi there :) I messaged you guys a couple days ago but I did not get a response. I have been checking my messages and my email.

    Most times MFP messages only work if people are friends on MFP, so it is very likely that none of us got your message (at least I didn't).
    I will check the applications again tomorrow morning when I am on a PC and will get back to you.

    That makes sense :) Thank you!
