The two main ways of communicating so feel free to decorate yours up or borrow a school owl for quick delivery.

shipping pages really aren't for everyone and most stick to what they know best, plot pages.

Plot pages allow a novels worth of history under a few icons of your character. these are generally used after you've got a history worked out between two charcters

Have a private book for your characters thoughts and feelings? Feel free to put them in here. You can show others your characters thoughts without their characters feedback.

This is the Daily Prophet and the many parts to it

This is the school events board. All event information, posters etc will be here.

As you enter the grand entry of this eccentric castle you see to the side a large almost chamber like doorway.

Descending down these stairs behind the door leads you to the underbelly of mazes which is the sub level of Hogwarts.

Dark torch-lit corridors twist and turn into rooms, crooks and a bundle of possible excitement just waiting to be revealed.

This is the main floor of the whole castle. It is this floor which you enter into upon walking through the large wooden doors.

The deputy heads office is found on the first floor along with various classrooms, including; muggle studies, history of magic, and defence against the dark arts

On the second floor there is the Ancient Runes classroom. There is also an old, ruined bathroom, which is haunted by a depressed ghost by the name of Moaning Myrtle.

This floor has the Hospital Wing in, where you can go to heal yourself if you are injured or ill. The Charms classroom, the Trophy Room where you can view past awards given to students and the Armour Gallery.

The fourth floor contains the Library, which is used by most of the students and staff of Hogwarts on a regular basis. The Arithmancy classroom and the Mirror of Erised room is also on this floor.

The fifth floor contains the Prefects bathroom, etc

The sixth floor contains the Transfiguration classroom.

The seventh floor contains the Divination classroom, which is through a trap door in the ceiling which you have access to by a ladder which is lowered when a class is expected. Also on the seventh floor is the Room of Requirement, otherwise known as the come-and-go room.

There are many towers at Hogwarts. One of which are common rooms and dormitories, Ravenclaw. The others are the Headmistress's office and the Astronomy tower

The massive grounds of Hogwarts.

Diagon Alley is a twisted cobbled street located at (or at least accessed on foot from) the centre of London, which acts as the main shopping centre of wizarding Britain. When shopping for those particularly tricky items (such as a Lunascope or a Nimbus 2000), Diagon Alley is the only place to go. While a number of wizard-related items can be bought from other places, such as Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley seems to be an important location for the wizarding populace of Britain.

This is a dingy street that runs off Diagon Alley and is home to an altogether less salubrious class of wizarding shops. There are a number of others, selling shrunken heads, giant spiders, poisonous candles, and a vast array of other Dark Arts materials. The fact that items like these are openly on sale in a place accessible by any wizard is a plain indication that ownership and trading of such things is legal. It’s unclear, however, where the law stands on use of the items in question

In northwestern London lies Kings Cross Station, a Muggle railway station that is one of the busiest in the city. It's a perfectly ordinary station, with big plastic numbers over each track and guards who have never heard of Hogwarts School . However, every September 1, as the clock overhead approaches eleven o'clock and the InterCity 125 pulls into platform nine, a strange crowd turns the occasional Muggle head. The crowd is wizarding children, bearing enormous trunks and caged owls, making their way toward - and then through - the solid metal barrier between platforms nine and ten .

Through this barrier, of course, lies Platform nine and three-quarters, home of the famous Hogwarts Express. There a look back at the barrier reveals it is instead a wrought-iron archway with the words "platform nine and three-quarters," and over the scarlet steam train billowing smoke, a sign announces that the Hogwarts Express departs at eleven o'clock. The platform also has a distinct smell - one which lifts the spirits of young wizards who, like Harry, look forward each summer to the start of term.

Though the platform is normally only used six days a year (round trips for the beginning and end of term, as well as the Christmas and Easter holidays), the platform on those days is awash with activity. Steam from the scarlet engine floods the platform as cats wind their way around the wizards' legs and owls hoot to each other , as hoardes of students and parents move around through the steam "like dark ghosts" , their voices carrying through the mist .

Finally, at 11:00, a whistle sounds announcing the train's departure , and the hiss of the pistons fills the platform as the train begins to move , creaking out of the station as family members stand on the platform and wave their children off to school . Nobody returns to the platform, then, for months - until the end of term, when it once again fills with wizards and a wizened old guard sits by the archway back to the Muggle world, making sure everyone gets home without attracting too much attention.

The Ministry of Magic is located somewhere just below the surface of downtown London. To get to the Ministry, you must head for an old, shabby telephone booth down in a small graffiti filled alleyway. Once you get inside, pick up the receiver, hold it above your head, and dial 6 - 2 - 4 - 4 - 2. The voice of the receptionist fills the air. She first tells you to state your name and business. When you have been approved, you get a small silver badge that lists your name and business as stated. You are then told, if you are a visitor, to submit to a search and present your wand for registration at the security desk, which is at the far end of the Atrium. Then the telephone booth begins to descend like an elevator, finally arriving in a magnificent mahogany-panelled entrance hall with a highly polished, dark wood floor. Welcome to the Ministry of Magic.

Azkaban is the wizard’s prison where witches and wizards are incarcerated for their crimes. Located on a tiny island in the freezing waters of the North Sea, Azkaban is not like Muggle prisons that rely on iron bars and heavy security to keep their prisoners in line. Instead, Azkaban has some of the most fearsome creatures on earth guarding its prisoners, dementors

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries is the wizarding hospital located in the heart of Muggle London, England. Patients go to St. Mungo's for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from common illnesses like dragon pox to more complicated ailments like spell damage and werewolf bites. Like all aspects of the wizarding world, St. Mungo's is hidden in plain site, disguised as a dilapidated, red-brick department store that Muggles see but largely ignore. Wizards or witches who are unable to reach St. Mungo's by magical transportation can enter through Purge and Dowse, Ltd. To Muggles, Purge and Dowse, Ltd. is nothing more than a rundown, old-fashioned department store that is always closed for refurbishment. The "store" boasts a window display containing "a few chipped dummies with their wigs askew, standing at random and modeling fashions at least ten years out of date". By leaning in and talking to one of the unsightly dummies, patients and visitors can gain access to the hospital, stepping directly through the magical store front and into St. Mungo's reception area.

Hogsmeade is the only village in Britain inhabited exclusively by wizards and witches. Hengist of Woodcraft built the village a thousand years ago in the shadow of a large, rocky mountain to hide from the Muggles who had persecuted him. The village consists of a High Street lined with thatched-roofed shops, surrounded by streets of cottages that become further apart as one gets further from the main village. As the only completely non-Muggle community, Hogsmeade has played a pivotal role in wizarding history in the country. It attracts all sorts of magical beings, like ogres and hags, who wouldn't blend in well in Muggle areas. Hogsmeade is not far from the school (about a thirty minutes' walk--twice as long if the journey is made through one of the two secret passages connecting it to the school). Hogwarts students in their third year or above can visit the village four times a year, one Saturday in each season.

This area contains the homes of your characters if you so choose to have one! If so there is a board in Claims for having a board made for your characters.

This is for all members to do polls, play games or just have a good old chat.

All the billions of compressed files that are locked away in those small looking filing cabinets in Filch's office home the old broken threads of our beloved site.
