Hello, everyone!

We'd like to invite you to join the Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge!

Term 36 will be a 9-week term based on Deathly Hallows. The term will run from Friday, August 20th (with full activities beginning on Monday) through Sunday, October 24th.

Owls with the acceptance or wait list notification should go out on Monday, August 16th and Tuesday, August 17th.

*** If you do NOT join by 11:59 pm ET on Thursday, August 19th or respond to the prefect who contacted you, then your spot will be given to someone else. ***

Feel free to contact a member of the staff with any questions. You may also contact @fitphoenix or @Maalea (Hogwarts’ Headmistresses) to confirm that your application was received.

Feel free to share the application with anyone you think might be interested!


Feel free to leave a post here if you have any questions. You may contact @fitphoenix or @Maalea (Hogwarts’ Headmistresses) to confirm that your application was received. (Make sure you send us a friend request first, or your PM won’t go through.)

We hope to see many of you join us for Term 36. :) If not, good luck with all of your future goals!

Sincerely,
fitphoenix and Maalea
(Headmistresses)

    @fitphoenix I changed my user name after submitting my application. It was MrsBoneyfide. Should I resubmit? Or leave it?

    I agree, it sounds intriguing. I just sent a friend request, so hopefully I can be added to this challenge in time.

    I am sorry, but we didn't get an application from you. Did you send one? Maybe the Google form was glitchy? Please fill out the form once again!

    For all who applied in the last one or two days: you already have gotten (or will get soon) a friend request from a staff member. Itwill take a few days until you are sorted into a house, but you will get in. We don't have a wait-list this term.
  • Applied! ;)

    Yes, you should have gotten a friend request from slimpossible007. Please accept it and then you'll get a message with details. (You have to be friends before you can send a message, if you want to be sure that it gets through...)

    @junodog1 Sorry, I was wrong in my post above. We did get your application, and you should have gotten a friend request from one of the Gryffindor prefects. They also sent an email to the address you provided in the application. Please check them out, and follow the links in the email.

    How about me? Did you get my application? I already accepted slimpossible’s friend request. Where should I check for my OWL?

    Yes, we got your application (otherwise you wouldn't have gotten a friend request). :)
    You and other late applicants will get your owl probably on Saturday (or maybe Friday).

    With the late applications, we usually wait a few days to see how many people who applied early don't turn up after all, so we can assign the late applicants to the houses with the fewest students (still taking into account the preferences), to keep numbers equal and fair.

    I got a friend request from Slim, but no detailing message as of yet! I’m a little worried I missed something. It starts tomorrow, right?

    Hi everyone,

    The owls need a good long sleep and some food before they take off again to reach you all

    I will be sending out the final owls on Sat afternoon UK time,

    At the moment the sorting hat is trying to decide on the best house for you all :)

    Difficult hmmm very difficult!!

    I hunted down the Hogsmead group and sent a request but I guess that's not a thing anymore? Is there still an over abundance of people wanting to join?

    I'm late to the game. If you happen to do another Harry Potter themed challenge, please let me know. I just started working out and eating better on Monday. I would love some fun motivation
