Read Today's Daily Prophet: Knights of Walpurgis attack Hogwarts; Belleford steps down as Hogwarts closes until further notice
Welcome to Hogwarts Interactive Role Play, one of the net's best in Harry Potter and Hogwarts role plays. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Here at Hogwarts our students are currently in their Seventh Year. Last year, the war against the Knights crescendoed into a direct attack against the school. Disappearances are still reported (or not) daily, and the Dark Lord and his Knights of Walpurgis have succeeded in spreading their message of "do as thou will" far and wide across the globe. Magical Law Enforcement, which is now the only authority in the wizarding world under Martial Law, has responded by tightening security, controlling the media, and strictly enforcing curfews and other laws. Their control is damaging to the people's freedom, and their hierarchy is a suspicious lot. It is clear that some members of the MLE like their new found power a bit too much, others see it necessary, but all are in serious danger of being consumed by it. But with the picture of just what Azariah Amaranth is after becoming ever clearer, and a third player in the form of a group called SAVIOR entering the scene, what will the MLE do next to ensure that they've got the situation under control?

The Elementium, the Higher Plane that had once been hidden just beyond the veil in the Department of Mysteries, and the Deathly Hallows. The pieces of the puzzle have been identified, but what picture do they make?

Today is Day 1 of Year Seven. Students have had time to recover from the Knight's attack, and are beginning to reluctantly return to the walls of Hogwarts. The safety of the school has been diminished, bringing up the question everyone must ask. Are you safe anywhere these days? It's up to each individual to decide their fate, where will you decide to go?

As I'm sure you've noticed the House Points system has been somewhat lacking and all but 1 of the houses is in the negative. I'm looking to revive it somehow but does anyone have any suggestions on how we can make it more of a siginificant part of the RP?

Please post with ideas.

An idea has been put to me to make a thread where people post difficult HP questions and olthers get points by answering them. This idea is ok but can easily be exploited by people telling others the answers and with the internet I can pretty much find any piece of information I want.

So, any others?

I reckon if you can be bothered looking up the answer on the net then whatever,

Look if it is kept honest it will be so much fun, it's something on my look around that I noticed was lacking from most of the RP sites.

I think we should just leave it as school points like it is in the book. The only reason it's lacking is 'cus MA hadn't updated it in ages.

Still, when was the last time any of the teachers gave house points or took house points away, the cup has more meaning, plus it means that teachers have something to take away, in the book it says house points cannot go into negatives.

I refer you to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, page 751, Snape distinctly says "I see there are no longer any house points left in Gryffindor hour-glass to take away"

Plus added points are like points won by students in older year levels

Lol, I guess we should have a poll, it's not like any one here doesn't know HP sufficiently, and everyone must love the series to one extent or another.

Kelly if you want to set it up through V or wait for Tris to come back.

Anyone can create polls I think. And we don't need MA anymore for polls or anything really because I've got the same access as him. So by all means start giving and taking points because I can update it. But be sure to post new points etc in that House Points Tracking Thread.

House points are stagnating again, anyone got any ideas? Trivia went well until teachers stopped posting questions (myself included) but I think it was fair to say after the trivia, classes and awarding house points started up again. Anyone got any new idea's or should we simply re-start the trivia again?

I did like the trivia, actually, so maybe we should start it up again. We could have a list of the order that active teachers could post their trivias, say once every two-three days?

Yeah, I'm willing to do it, for the new comers who can't be bothered reading the old thread I'll summerize the trivia for you.

Teachers post 3 questions, (plus extra questions for bonus marks) first to answer with a student (who is not a different character of the teachers) with all the correct answers gets however many house points for their house. We try to say, don't look at the net and try to keep information from the books. Honestly, if you put in the effort to look the answers up on the net then you can have the points, we aren't going to exactly stop you.

Teachers, if you can avoid it, try to avoid repeating questions, how you do this I have no idea.
