NEW FESTIVAL EVENT INCOMING

That's right, coming soon to these Allied States is the first ever Harry Potter regional festival!

Though the dates of the festival are still being worked out, soon we will be sitting in the great hall being sorted into our hogwarts houses! If you're not familiar with the site Pottermore I suggest creating an account if you do not yet have one. This site will be how we get sorted into our houses, which for the festival will act as our teams. If you already have an account and have already been sorted, you need not worry, you can use that. Please just be sure to be able to provide (when asked) a screenshot as proof.

I learned a lot from the previous festivals of what worked and what didn't work with teams and points, but the points system will be making a return for the Harry Potter festival. The festival will include book/movie discussions with one per day, and I'd also like to have a movie night where we watch one of the films- there will be a poll, as well as a quidditch spam game which will last throughout the festival. I'll explain the quidditch game later on.

Every activity has a certain number of points assigned to it. Participation nets you points. The house with the most points at the end of the festival wins the House Cup, and will also have their house banner flown on the forums to commemorate their victory. All participants of the festival get their house crest as an award, so if you participate and you're a Gryffindor, you get the Gryffindor crest award. If you participate and you're a Slytherin, you get the Slytherin crest award. And so on.

More news to come soon. In the meantime, you may want to take a stroll down diagon alley.....

Points System, Quidditch Rules, and Festival Schedule

The Harry Potter festival officially kicks off on Monday March 26th. Many of you have already been sorted into your houses. If you still have not been sorted, and wish to partake in the festivities this week then please visit the Sorting Hat topic. Every participant who is sorted into a house will be given an award which is displayed on your profile. What award you receive is dependent on which house you are sorted into. At the conclusion of the festival, the points will be tallied and the house which has the most points is awarded the House Cup! Yay! Their house banners will also be flown on the regions header in celebration.

Each day of the event will be a new discussion topic about each individual chapter of the story. I say chapter, but what I really mean is each individual book/movie. Seven total chapters. Seven days. Participating in each discussion topic will net you 10 points. Just like the Star Wars festival a few months ago, just saying "was good" is not sufficient enough to net you points.

We will have a movie night either on Friday or Saturday, and the movie is to be determined. It may be any one of the Harry Potter main series films, or possibly Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. More info will be brought up later on in the week, however attending movie night (and staying) will net you 50 points.

Quidditch:
Throughout the week there will be a spam game, based on quidditch. The game will revolve around passing the quaffle or bludger to your teammates, in this case, your housemates. You must call out that you're passing to your teammates. For example, a post I could make is "passes the quaffle to Free States." We're both on the same team. A member of another team can intercept, or steal the quaffle or bludger from you. Let's say Free States, Kounelli, and I are passing to each other- we're all on the same team. JD, who's on another team can say "steals the quaffle from Kounelli, and passes it to Mytzy." Another acceptable option would be if JD were to say "steals the quaffle from Kounelli, and scores a goal." Scoring a goal in the game is not worth anything, points are accrued by method of continuing the spam game. Once you steal from an opposing player, you have to do something with it.

Passing the quaffle to a teammate will be worth 1 point. Half way through the week, the bludgers will be introduced to the game. All the rules mentioned above apply the same to bludgers. However, passing the bludger to a teammate will be worth 2 points. Yes, these points do stack.

On the last day of the festival, the golden snitch will be released. I will hide the golden snitch somewhere on our forums, it could be in any topic anywhere on our forums. Whoever finds the golden snitch wins the quidditch match, and is awarded 50 points.

Please take note, I've edited the rules to the quidditch game. The change is colored green in order to accommodate Gryffindor who has only two members.
