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?

If I hadn't paniced and exited out so fast I would've taken a screenshot so you all could see the horrors. Honestly, I thought we were better people than that. I honestly thought we were. But I guess not. I just hope, for your sake, that something is done about this immediatly. Edited by Margo Wright, Feb 23 2010, 04:52:06 PM.

Deleted User	Margo Wright Feb 23 2010, 05:35:57 PM YES WE CAN!!! No, no we can't. Well, technically we can. The google ads display adverts based the content of the page. So everything that gets displayed there is all of our faults.

Kidnapped! Posts: 2,756 Group: Ravenclaw Member #114 Joined: Mar 9 2007	As Harry Potter fans its a fair assumption that a number of our followers are teens, exactly the market for Twilight. Hence why we get Twilight ads on our sites. It sucks but we are victim to our own interests. I know on Facebook a while back I was getting ads stating: "Are you 23 and single? Want to Meet Women? etc etc.." And as soon as I had my birthday... "Are you 24 and single? Want to meet women etc etc.." Advertisements on websites work on what info they can gather about its users. As HP fans we will unfortunately fall victim to Twilight ads. I for one dont mind the books but dont particularly want their ads here. But what can we do?
