Hello, everyone. We'd like to invite you to join term 50 of the Hogwarts Weight Loss Challenge. Here is the information as well as the application below!

Term 50 will be a 6-week term based on House Pride and the Hogwarts Challenge's 10th anniversary! The term will run from Friday, June 21st (with full activities beginning on the Monday afterwards) through Sunday, August 4th. Students will also have a few days into the term to submit their starting weigh-in.

Owls with the acceptance should go out on Monday, June 17th and Tuesday, June 18th.

*** While everyone who applies to join Hogwarts will be sorted into a house, if you do not respond to the prefect who contacted you within a reasonable time frame, then we will assume you no longer wish to participate in the challenge and remove you from the roster so that late applicants can be sorted.

Therefore, we ask those who received an owl on June 17th or 18th to please join the castle and common room groups by 11:59 pm ET on Friday, June 21st. ***


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

We hope to see many of you join us for Term 50. :)  

Sincerely,
Maalea
(Headmistress)

    Just a small note: despite the title of the challenge, we will actually be starting Term 50 of Hogwarts, with the term beginning on June 21st (with full activities starting on June 24th), as indicated on the application and information in the post.

    Apologies for the oversight on my part of not realizing that I had posted the title indicating that it is Term 60, although we certainly still hope to be hosting the challenge and have many new and familiar faces join us when it is the proper time to embark on that journey. ;)

    Owls (private messages) with the invites will go out sometimes tomorrow (Tuesday).
    Please also check your friend requests - if you are not already friends with your prefect, you will get a friend request first, because messaging someone you are not friends with usually doesn't work.

    @Mellobee2 I am trying to add you as a friend although one of our staff members may have already sent you a friend request too - I am having trouble finding your profile when I search your username, so we are working on contacting you and getting you in the group!

    Please send me a friend request if you haven't heard from anyone.
