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?

We have been getting a lot of new members lately, and June and I thought it might be useful to have a list of links that might be helpful. Ya know, to help them get used to the RP and what not. Of course, always read the rules, Joining HIRP for Dummies, Intergrating yourself into the RP, the Lexicon, the plot, Admins' (those with bold and italicized names) apps and posts, etc.

a good site to get youself into the right mindframe, along with giving you a basic idea of RPing
(I know it's Dungeons and Dragons, but the same basic ideas apply)

help in creating a character

here's another site for creating characters. HOWEVER, some of the things that is says, such as you being the ultimate god, do not always apply because this is an RP with other people and rules. just keep that in mind while you read

great chart for describing emotions

grammar tips

what we think you need to know about grammar

creative writing tips
(once again, this is more for stories and books than role playing, but the same basic ideas still hold true)

tips for plotting

to help you if you're having trouble choosing a celebrity

and of course, C-Box etiquette.
(this doesn't apply so much to our cbox, but it's good etiquette rules in general)

If anyone else has any good sites, you are more than welcome to post them here to help out other members!

I think there should be a button link to this thread. Like the five ones we have now? Anywone want to make one that's the same size as those and blends in somewhat with them and says "RPing Resources" or "Role Play Resources" of some variation of that?

And I agree with Kane, the proper grammar guide should be added.

EDIT: This needs to be right at the top of that list, and This should be on that list somewhere.

So basically a thread that leads to other threads, conveniently in the form of a button?

Genius.

EDIT: Post 600!
