Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry... It resides in Scotland, hidden from the "Muggle" world. It is a large castle where children from all over come to attend school if they are witches or wizards. At age eleven, children receive a letter in the mail telling them that they are accepted at Hogwarts and on September 1 they are to board the Hogwarts Express on platform 9 3/4. Enclosed is a ticket for the train, and a list of supplies needed for school. All items can be found in Diagon Alley, the wizarding marketplace. Food, books, wands, familiars and much more can be found in this amazingly well-hidden place. Once at KingsCross Station to board the train, students will need to run head on into the barrier between the 9 and 10 signs to get to 9 3/4. From there, the Hogwarts Express awaits, whistling and letting out warm steam. On the train is the kind, old trolley lady who sells candies. The train leaves the station at exactly 11 O'clock. Student will arrive at Hogwarts Station, and first-years will be brought by the game-keeper by boats, while the others are brought by the prefects. In the Great Hall, first-years will be sorted into their house: Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflpuff, and Ravenclaw. After the sorting by the enchanted school hat, the feast is started.
The Role-play game begins with the next generation starting their first year. Please check the character sheet to see what last names have been taken already so as not to have for example: 5 Potter children, 10 Weasley's(All Ron's), 2 Lupin children, and 25 Malfoy's.
