Waaaaay back in 2011, I joined Snitchseeker because of the hype with Pottermore. Back then, I was looking for another Potter site as an outlet cos Pottermore only had the first book interactive experience available and I finished that one in a day :lol: And now I'm here!

Stormdancer 01-04-2019 01:27 PM

*eyes Kimmy's post and giggles*

Waaaayyyy back in 2003 the movies and films were still being released and this was the place to be for all of the news updates.

The Knockturn Alley forum and Fanfiction Forum were reasons 2 and 3 - then it just .... evolved.

natekka 01-04-2019 01:28 PM

I joined when I was 13 back in 2011!

Initially, I was just interested in diving deeper in the world of Harry Potter and finding people who loved it as much as I did. It was before the final Deathy Hallows film came out and I remember the hype surrounding that! In the end, though, it was the RPG that got me hooked, as well as the lovely community of HP fans I have met onsite. :loved:

Tazzie 01-05-2019 06:38 AM

I joined way back 2011, on my mother's birthday actually. I remember it was near the end of the day and I had just finished reading the only HP books I had that time (I think only four, so until GoF). So I chanced the internet for some fanfiction and it brought me here. Coincidentally, the sorting happened a few days after I think so I jumped into the RPG (it was my first time) and it turned out to be a really fun and exciting experience. I also made some very smart and creative friends out of the members so since then SS has always held a special place in my heart even if I have a tendency to disappear from time to time. Lol.

lovely_kol 01-15-2019 05:09 PM

I just joined, and to be honest it is the first time I've heard about the website.
I was feeling nostalgic regarding to the old foruns in warner bros website, and wanted to relive those feelings I had back in 2005, 2006 :)

AceOfHallows 02-01-2019 12:53 AM

I joined because I was looking for a site where I could discuss all things Potter with people who are also hooked on the Potterverse. I also wanted to catch up on news about my favorite actors/actresses as well. :)

abstract 02-11-2019 08:26 PM

I joined while making an OC for another site...then saw all of the content.
THEN saw that there's an RPG community here as well. That sold it for me.
But now that I'm here, I'm seeing so much more! <3

Loopy luna 02-18-2019 07:43 PM

I used to be big on messages boards years ago met fantastic people.
Even had a a couple of boards over the years.
I thought I would get back into the boards and I have never been on a hp board before.
This board has it all and I can’t wait to get to know everyone.

AnnWa 02-20-2019 10:19 AM

I joined the community in order to discuss HP world with people and chat with them. I don't have many friends in real life to share thoughts with, so here it comes.

Student of Dumbledor 02-28-2019 11:21 PM

I was looking through some forums for Harry potter and this one I liked.

Fireheart 03-20-2019 08:52 PM

One of my best friends showed me SnitchSeeker back in 2010. I thought it was so cool, and I loved the Hogwarts RPG! I also thought it was so neat to have such a friendly community of HP fans. I forgot about the forum until just recently, so I decided to join in on the fun! As a writer, I'm really looking forward to joining in the different RPGs here. I'm also stoked to meet some new Harry Potter loving friends!

AccioMarauders 03-31-2019 10:54 PM

I'm missing a forum I used to be a part of. :( I don't know what happened to it, I took a 2.5 year hiatus from it due to having my daughter and wanted to get back on only to find that it's not there anymore!! Anyways, hoping I'll have the same experience here and looking forward to meeting people... and that's why I joined SnitchSeeker. :)

Emzeer 04-05-2019 09:40 PM

I love the idea of RP'ing and want to give it a try :)

curly21 04-09-2019 06:09 PM

i was on there internet one day and i was the website and i like to so much i joined

Nosilla 04-17-2019 02:58 AM

I was a member from the time I had a computer. Back in the days of Gaia Online and Funbrain.com. I can't remember how old I was but I spent alot of time on here just exploring the depths of it. Boy I miss those days! Well I saw sorting was now and IM BACK BABY!!

harleysJoker1 04-17-2019 03:03 AM

my friend suggest i join this since i love harry potter

Riverz 04-20-2019 10:05 PM

I'm here for RPG.

Felix_Felicis 04-26-2019 11:40 PM

I'm mostly here for the RPG which looks like it would be a lot of fun, but also definitely going to enjoy reading (and maybe posting? We'll see...) fanfiction and be part of a community that really enjoys Harry Potter.

the potter fae 05-06-2019 04:44 AM

Part of the reason I wanted to join this community is that I need some feedback from my fellow Potterheads about my Harry Potter Youtube channel.

Dokimoto 05-06-2019 01:35 PM

I originally signed up in 2011 as it says. I had found another site that offered RP opportunities and I had never even realized that it existed! After a fairly extensive search, I came across SS and fell in love with the detail and the amount of people involved in the RPG. I liked that it was a big all-inclusive story, and as I got more comfortable, noticing all of the wonderful mods here. BELIEVE me, not all HP sites have such genuine admins/mods! I ended up taking a hiatus due to RL, but gladly returned in 2017 for the same reasons. ((Thank you all for making SS what it is!))

wilburn 05-09-2019 04:52 AM

Resonance; the energy of synchronicity.

Slytherin Fox 05-24-2019 03:16 PM

I found this site by accident. Sometimes those can be good!

Alavander 05-26-2019 07:46 PM

I joined because I want to talk hp with people who wont look at me like I'm a weirdo at 33... yes, dearest wife, I am talking about you...

jes_clyku 06-16-2019 07:48 PM

I watched someone go on their account during class and thought I'd check it out.

Saturma 06-21-2019 02:54 PM

I used to frequent another HP forum few years back, but it's looks to be pretty much dead now, so y'know.. I then proceeded to find something else and google led me here xD
I guess I just kinda missed being around other Potter loving people =w=

mjknight 06-25-2019 09:45 PM

I vaguely remember stumbling upon SnitchSeeker YEARSSSSSS ago, probably around the time when the earlier movies in the series were coming out. I came for the news on the movies and the high quality movie stills. :x3:

But recently I've been really missing the HP forum life. I was heavily involved in FictionAlley Park back in its heyday (oldbie SOFAA member right here!!) and loved getting to talk to other Potterheads who were as wrapped up in the fandom as I was. The fandom is still alive and kicking now with the FA movie series, along with all of the Pottermore extras and random tidbits of info JKR has released over the years, and honestly, I'm having some serious nostalgia.

I want to connect with Potter fans again, so here I am!

AbbiMarigold 07-13-2019 09:19 PM

Defiantly joining the Rpg community XD

HouserHouseCreations 07-16-2019 10:41 PM

I love all things Harry Potter and thought a forum site would be fun.

whiteroseoftudor 07-24-2019 10:55 PM

I love to Roleplay and discuss Harry Potter so SnitchSeeker is a perfect place for me, I look forward to interacting with all of you!

RedRabbit 08-13-2019 12:56 AM

Ages ago I used to hang around on this site under a different username Gabben. It has been awhile but I have always loved the community and fellowship shared on this website. On here people don't look or treat me different when I geek out on Harry Potter things.

OnyxRaizel 08-17-2019 03:38 AM

I joined because I remembered what a great resource this site was for Harry Potter fans.

KCSpector 08-17-2019 08:15 PM

I remembered this site being an awesome community when I was in high school, and since I'm going back through the book series, I decided to join.

love-for-HP 08-20-2019 05:59 PM

Had some friends in collage who talked about this site, blew it off, but got bored and work and decided to join! The Game thread looks fun, and very interested in seeing where I get sorted to join the school forums. Hope to have a lot of fun!

Freyr 08-26-2019 02:59 PM

I joined because I wanted to take part in a Harry Potter themed RPG.

QuaterBloodPrince 08-27-2019 12:48 PM

I want to participate in discussions of theories and facts from the world of wizards.

bob123288 08-28-2019 01:42 AM

It's a world apart
 
I joined up because this place is Rich with rp, and more and who doesn't want to be apart of the wizarding world! Here we can be people we always wanted and expresses ourselves in ways that wouldn't be possible anywhere else!
-Sincerly

malfoygrl 08-30-2019 07:53 PM

I joined a longggg time ago! But I deleted my old account awhile ago and now I want to get back into the community.

Lord Al 09-05-2019 08:08 PM

Reasons for joining
 
for the simple reason that I have questions regarding the books and HP forums are surly the best place to have these questions answered lol

mounkeygirl 09-06-2019 02:21 PM

I'd been on facebook for a while, and I realized recently the thing I was really looking forward to were the Harry Potter fandom posts. I got to thinking how even though the books had ended, the stories continued to evolve in the fandom. I further got to thinking that I was only seeing a hand full of these that went viral, and I decided to look for a form to find more. I googled Harry Potter forms, and this was the second result in that search.

harleysong 09-21-2019 02:06 AM

I wanted to meet fellow potterheads and get the latest news on Fantastic Beasts

Duvessa Grace 09-21-2019 09:47 PM

Obsessed with the wizarding world
 
I joined SS when it first came out. Lost touch. But now I am back and ready to enjoy the writings of the talented people here.

InsaneGenius 09-29-2019 11:17 AM

i wanted to be updated on everything HP related and wanted to see discussions and other potterheads like me.

Sioween 10-09-2019 07:43 PM

I mainly joined to see what other people thought about Harry Potter and to see just how big the community it is and everything that it offers online.

LiaBia 10-13-2019 11:02 PM

The main reason I joined is because I saw how much my Aunt and Uncle enjoyed the movies and books and I began watching the movies and I realized they were interesting. Seeing how much my Aunt loves this site made me want to join.

L.E 10-16-2019 06:49 PM

To be honest, I joined because I wanted to talk about certain characters.

Lord Evansiline 10-17-2019 06:34 PM

Honestly just being bored.

EveT1991 11-03-2019 02:17 PM

I joined because I love Harry Potter

MLTiger 11-27-2019 07:54 PM

I was bored out of my mind (this was last week) and longing for discussion about something else than idk ordinary people. And I love nostalgia.

Sunflower 12-11-2019 05:18 AM

I explored the site before I decided to join. I like the RPG community because it seems active and well-developed. I also want to chat with other Harry Potter fans and discuss the books and films.

doodledog&hermione 12-14-2019 07:53 AM

I am living in South Korea and there aren't many news about harry potter in Korea.So I searched for harry potter fan site and I found this amazing site.

Melanddonny 12-15-2019 10:46 PM

I was interested in getting the Hogwarts school supply lists and it led me to this website. It had so much useful information!

Egg Mint 12-19-2019 01:06 AM

Hey fellow kids.
I dig the HP universe and think it has a lot of possibilities. Plus, this place is one of the best to RP that I've found, honestly.

Marthann 12-20-2019 04:20 AM

I want to meet other Harry Potter fans.

LadyNerd 12-29-2019 11:54 PM

I am getting my 11 year old daughter into the Harry Potter world, something I have been a part of for quite a few years.

Zakarim 12-30-2019 01:36 AM

To learn more.
 
I have always wanted to know more LadyNerd got me turned onto this site as well as Pottermore.

evannah 02-12-2020 11:45 PM

I thought it would be interesting to enter a community of fellow Potter lovers and discuss about Harry Potter and other topics :) Also to get to know some more info and news about Harry Potter world. Not many people irl are that into Wizarding world as I am :D

GiveUpYourDreams 02-15-2020 06:02 PM

Natalie (natekka) told me to and I didn't join another site because she's on this one

raystark 02-19-2020 12:23 AM

I joined way back in the day and only recently remembered this site. Now I am enjoying becoming re-acquainted with it

HuffPuff846567 02-24-2020 03:32 AM

Having followed the website for years it seems like a nice community and also feels like the best format for RPG games

RebelSongs 03-09-2020 07:48 PM

I was reading through some of the 100-word stories on here and was very impressed by what I saw. Being a lover of HP fanfic, I figured this was a good place to drop by and share my own stories with fellow Potterheads.

J.laur5 03-10-2020 11:33 AM

Becouse i wanted somewhere to talk about best story ever written!.

alimakocnalb 03-15-2020 11:35 AM

I was looking for a brazilian/portuguese Hogwarts RPG forum, but they all seemed to be abandoned for years, so I ended up here.

BlibberingHumdingerI 03-25-2020 10:56 AM

I'm in lock down cause of corona virus and have started reading harry potter via livestream to my pals and whoever else wants to view - and while reading it, i've realised how much i miss being part of the Potter community.
I was always a huge fan, have a HP tattoo, always queued for the books, always did early screenings of the films and I guess having this livestreamed community of people coming together to listen to me read harry potter aloud made me realise I was missing all the HP vibes! so here i am!

JasmineHere 03-30-2020 11:05 PM

I've always been a fan of roleplaying and was part of several very active RPing communities (some RPing lasting for years even) and have been looking for a new community when one of the awesome mods posted about SnitchSeeker on a discord server I was part of. Couldn't resist joining!

bloomsbloomsi 04-06-2020 02:24 AM

I was googling Harry Potter rp websites and this popped up so I thought I’d give it a shot

Rhythm9688 04-10-2020 06:00 AM

I wanted to join a Harry Potter inspired RPG community!

Honeychunks 04-10-2020 01:33 PM

I really love the gallery, all the rare photos about Harry Potter can be found in snitch seeker gallery

GardenWitch 04-14-2020 08:40 PM

I joined because I am looking for a place with other like-minded HP obsessed individuals

Gib 04-15-2020 07:27 AM

I wanted to make some HP friends that I have common interests with. I don’t really have any friends so I figured I could make some on here

bookiebee 04-16-2020 02:58 AM

I'm such a nerd for the Harry Potter universe and I want to get back to my nerd roots. I'm hoping it'll even get me inspired to write more.

macaroni 04-24-2020 05:54 PM

I love Harry Potter and wanted to talk to others who love the movies and books as well

slipstick 04-25-2020 01:56 AM

I did not join Snitch Seeker. Snitch Seeker joined me.

BrotherDoobie 04-25-2020 12:42 PM

Mostly for news and to meet other Harry Potter fans.
I simply love to discuss the series.

keepmeclose22 04-26-2020 02:38 AM

I joined this site because I used to be a member long long ago. I remember this being a great place to meet new people (One of whom I've been friends with for 5 or 6 years now), and an even better one to work on writing skills.

Seraph 04-26-2020 05:53 AM

Looked like fun and I wanted to join in

pottermomrocks 05-01-2020 12:09 AM

I joined this site to meet other Potterheads and stay up to date with HP related news.

Midnight Marauder 05-03-2020 05:48 AM

I'm going through another re-read during quarantine, and I wanted to meet other fans and have some discussions.

KaliGld 05-06-2020 08:54 AM

Because I want to play with my bestest friends in the whole wide world

Payton Granger 05-21-2020 03:11 PM

I joined SnitchSneeker because I have been looking for a Harry Potter website for a while and when I found this I got super excited, and I'm so excited to join RP's and have fun.

NephilimWitch 05-26-2020 09:56 PM

I joined to meet fellow Potterheads, because one can never have enough! and I love to Roleplay and so it seemed like the perfect mix!

GreyMagic 05-31-2020 09:40 PM

I joined because I want to be able to have proper discussions about the Wizarding World with people who love Harry Potter just as much as me. Okay possibly not as much as me!

Not so thrilled about RPG as I’m a complete newbie when it comes to role play outside of doing it on my own. Because I’m cool like that. 😎 Ha...

Warlock 06-07-2020 04:35 AM

I have not been in a forum setting in a very long time. I used to run 3 HP forums, and I kind of miss it, I'll admit.

I think the main reason I joined Snitchseeker, though, is because I have realized I don't have enough Potterheads in my life. I do enjoy discussing the wizarding world a great deal, and finding like minded folks that love the wizarding world as much as I do is something of a godsend these days.

nausea 06-28-2020 05:41 AM

I used to be a big RPer on the WB Harry Potter message boards. We're talking like, early 2000s; I hit my peak my senior year of high school, 2006. I really poured my heart and soul into it, and met many amazing people. My experiences on the WB boards really got me through some tough, dark times in my teenage years.

Those boards inspired my love of writing. So much so that I went on to get a degree in creative writing.

Over time, I slowly lost touch with many of the people I RPed with. Some of us continued playing on our own boards, and some of stayed connected through email. Tried as we might, we were never really able to rekindle the magic we'd all felt on those original boards.

Every 6 months or so, I do a deep Google dive trying to find a board that may fulfill that sense of community. SnitchSeeker came up as a top hit on Google, so I've decided to give it a go! I'm much older now than I was back then, but I've still got a lot of whimsy left in me!

azkabanshee 06-30-2020 11:48 PM

I want to meet others who love the Wizarding World as much as I do!

aldritch 07-12-2020 03:21 PM

In general, I've been keeping an eye out for HP forums like this, because I really wanted to re-engage with the fanfiction and roleplay communities for the fandom! The site's different boards all really appeal to me, which is what caught my eye in the first place!

Why did I choose Snitchseeker specifically? To put it simply ... their open support of BLM and the LGBTQ+ community assured me that the site mods were the right kind of people to be running something like this, and I didn't have to worry about getting involved in a nice-seeming community only to find out they all support transphobia or other such nonsense. It seems friendly, and it seems safe, and those are all things I think we could all use a little more of these days!

astrocat 07-20-2020 05:27 PM

I wanted to access the materials.

amethystrose 07-29-2020 05:58 AM

I was really involved in the Harry Potter community when I was younger. I remember playing on the Warner Brothers website, planting/killing mandrakes, and getting sorted into a house (with a sorting hat quiz that literally included the favorite color question).

Eventually, I branched out to generally Harry Potter forums as well as RPGs. Back then, I really enjoyed RPGs that were set during the Marauder's Era. I thought that time period gave the greatest creative freedoms. If I'm being honest, I think I joined SS now because quarantine inspired me to return to something that was comforting/familiar.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, and joining what seems to be a lovely community!

Lucifera 08-05-2020 12:19 AM

I'm here for the future of the world of witchcraft and wizardry, especially witchcraft and witches.

Ravan 08-07-2020 02:50 AM

I joined SS because I used to RP a lot and I missed it. I also really love anything to do with Harry Potter.

Madame_Tonks 08-12-2020 02:20 AM

I used to be a member a long while back, and had fallen out of using it for many years. I love the up-to-date info, fans, and fun photos/stories this site has to offer, and can't wait to get back into it!

Aims 09-24-2020 09:54 PM

I used to spend countless hours reading fanfic on this site back when I was a young teen and the works were incredible

Beatrice Wolfe 09-27-2020 10:16 PM

joined early september 2020 because i wanted to play with other people who love RPG and the harry potter series.

FrozenFire 10-02-2020 03:56 AM

I really enjoy writing Harry Potter fanfiction and I heard that this was a good site for doing that, so here I am! :)

alendrew11 10-03-2020 11:49 AM

I joined this forum because I was searching the community where I can discuss more about Horry Potter as I Love this......

Zacharias Oberyn 10-04-2020 02:28 AM

i joined because i missed forum experiences. I used to belong to an anime forum, that i later abandoned once i lost interest in the anime. when i tried to return, it was gone. the layout was incredibly similar to this site, now that i think about it.

latteew 10-05-2020 08:23 AM

I joined because I have fallen into the magic again. Took me only 20 years to get this hyped. I have read and listened the books and watched the movies many many times. Now I got myself to register here since I have found many Youtube videos and my Tik Tok is full of HP content.

blueberrymuffin 10-07-2020 09:03 PM

I play DnD, and one of my favorite components is the roleplay, so I wanted to roleplay outside of sessions in the context of one of my favorite series

The Secret Marauder 10-08-2020 07:54 PM

I just joined because I wanted to talk to people who like the same things as I do as my family and friends don't really care about it as much as me!

PulsingAura 10-08-2020 08:22 PM

I have recently started playing Hogwarts: A Mystery (still in first year) which has gotten me back into the Wizarding World. Just looking for a fun forum to connect with fellow Potterheads and have some fun discussions, and this site looks like the perfect place for it.
