Questions and Answers

[Mistress Vondella]

• Try to read all the information before asking any questions.
• Any questions you may have should be posted here.
• Follow the rules, or the posts will be deleted.

If you have any questions about the rules or site related issues, please ask it here. We're here to help you with the site, not your life, not Harry Potter, and not anything else ok? For graphics-related help, go to the Questions & FAQ thread in Madam Malkin's. Also check the Prefects' Office if you are not a Newbie and need help.

If you know the answer to a newbie's question, feel free to answer it, but anyone who replies in a non-friendly way in here will most likely be punished.

Also, don't pretend to ask something just so it looks like you're not spamming out of the Newbie Hut. It's selfish, takes up other people's time and will result in a big, ugly, scary PM from one of us telling you off.

Thanks

I ask only because it seems that the Dark Arts class is quite popular.

There is no limit. You may attend any class that you like unless there is a restriction in place, such as a class only for first years (our flying classes sometimes have this). However, if this is the case, it will be announced by the professor beforehand.

Why is it that First Years can't take flying lessons or bring a broom to school.
And do you think that taking 6 classes is too much for a first year
( Potions, Dark Arts, History of Magic, Transfiguration, Divination and Care of
Magical Creatures). I am determined to be a success at this.

She said that Flying Lessons may only be for first years. The school is trying to keep it as cannon (close to the books) as possible and according to the books, only first years take flying lessons and they are not allowed to bring their broomsticks to the school.

I don't think so. Remember that attendance is not obligatory. You can take as many or as little classes as you want. Remember, just have fun!

The sorting is currently closed. The next will be held in approximately three months. To be sorted, you take the sorting quiz. An administrator will then sort you based on your answers.

In the meantime, you can explore the other forums on the site. Have fun!

[Night_Owl]

[Dainsie]

In about 3 months time.

[Night_Owl]

To be sorted you have to have ten posts and be in the members category. And when the time comes, you'll will be able to to take the sorting quiz.

Once you are sorted you will have access to the School RPG and RP your way through Hogwarts, attend classes, do homework and have a good Roleplaying with other members

Because unless you just have 1 image in your signature, you have to submit it to be OK'ed by a mod.

hmm. Try replying the PM to the person who sent it to you explaining and they can send you your valentine again.

I don't know. Maybe. Who knows. It hasn't been decided yet so you'll just have to wait and see.

What are some important things I should I know about starting out on this site such as sorting?

[Dainsie]

All the important stuff you need to know is in the site rules and FAQ.

Is there a list in this site that shows the number of posts that is required to get a certain tag of a creature of animal? Not that it really matters but I'm interested to know.

There is in this thread, right here in the hut. That's as far as we post, after that it's a surprise.

Thanks for considering my previous question.

There's a first year student who is causing much trouble. She plans on stealing veritserum and she punched our Slytherin Quidditch captain. I have been following her, trying to keep an eye on her... What should I do?

[Slytherin Fox]

Jack - The best thing you can do is take it to our Head of House, Professor Forrester. Don't try to take the situation on yourself! If you let your Head of House know he can deal with the matter properly. Trust me!
