HOL NEWS •
My goodness, how have we made it past spooky season already?! Whether you were busy with Halloween, Día de Muertos, Samhain, or any similar festival(s) which celebrates this magnificent aspect of our lifecycle, I hope you all had a
deathly good October. Now it’s time to start looking ahead to the next holiday feasts we’ll be sharing in the great hall soon enough as the weather gets colder and colder. Autumn at Hogwarts is glorious and vibrant, and the magic of our castle in winter is just around the corner.
If you haven't decided on any
HOL Goals for 2024/2025 yet, head on over to The Great Hall and
set some intentions for yourself. You may just earn yourself
The Gold Spirit Award!!
While you're there, feel encouraged to get involved with or strike up some conversation in the
Harry Potter and/or
General Discussion sections of the main forums! Or go ahead and poke around the four
House Common Rooms.
