    I know Term 46-Hogwarts Challenge will be fun with the Half Blood Prince theme and it will be here before you know it. Nice to have a fun structure for fitness!

    Signed up! New here! Not sure what I’m getting myself into but from the google doc it looks fun! Do we need to have our diaries public in order for the tasks and stuff to be tracked? Or do we keep track of accountability in a thread somewhere?

    Welcome!
    You can keep your diary private. :) You will be invited to two groups, the main Castle and your House's Common Room. In the Castle group there will be threads for the different tasks, where you post when you finished an assignment and claim your points. The staff will tally the points you earned in a spreadsheet.
    In your Common Room you can chat with your House mates, strategy for the group events, and so on.

    @ptitejeanne Hi! We did receive your application and sent an owl your way but it may have gotten lost on route, or stopped for a snack. ;) I just sent an email to you with a copy of your owl so that you can join your common room and castle but if you don't receive it or have any trouble accessing the groups just let me know!

    It's not too late! We have a few long-distance owls that are still making their way to our initial applicants, but we have our second batch of owls waiting to fly, so we'll get you sorted into a house within the next few days before the term officially begins. :)

    Hi, we did receive your application! The Sorting Hat is in the midst of placing all our new students, so you should be receiving friend requests from your house prefects sometime later today or tomorrow, and then they'll provide you with details to join your common room and the castle :)

    We've received 2 more applicants on 8/12/23 and those owls will be going out shortly. If you applied before 8/12, you should have gotten a message from someone about the challenge. If not, please contact @Neon_Vampire or myself (you will have to send me a friend request first since MFP doesn't seem to let me received or send messages to non-friends :'( I think @Neon_Vampire has better luck with receiving messages from anyone though. You can also send us both messages to be safe!)

    Also anyone still interested, feel free to apply to join the challenge and come to Hogwarts with us B)

    First, thank you for joining!

    There are no ghosts right now. There were 2 types of ghosts (that I'm aware of) at various times in the challenge. The first were the ghosts that would become students once a spot opened, so the first 1-2 students on the wait list that were let into the castle. Since everyone gets in right away once I'm able to send them a message (no wait list), we do not have any of those ghosts. The other type of ghost is the type that just lurks in the castle groups and does not participate as a student at all during the term. We do not have any of those right now either. So at least for now, Hogwarts is only haunted by the Official ghosts like Nearly-Headless Nick and the Bloody Baron :p
