I encourage everyone to go and try their hand at it here

E=MC HAMMER
This Month's Theme Songs will all be all about winter which is still going strong here where I live; we've had to shovel snow a LOT these last few days. Why not go there and share a few of your favourites?

Alte Sententiam

Whether you prefer canon Harry Potter classes or would rather learn about something else, there will surely be something of interest to you. I know I have a hard time picking!
Go here to check out which ones you want to join.

The Library Department has two projects for you to enjoy.

Or maybe you want to try your hand at writing a newsletter like this one? Ok, maybe a little more interesting; you will have to write a newsletter for a magical community; What's going on in this neighbourhood in the coming weeks?
Did I mention both of these projects offer points for doing them?

The Library Department currently has two projects, Frozen Moment and Explore the Lake.

Frozen Moment
Everyone has these moments where you wish you could freeze time. Either to give you more time to think before you act, or to prevent what happens next from happening at all, or because the moment is so perfect you wish to freeze it and preserve it forever. Whatever yours is, we want to hear about the moment you want to freeze. This project is worth up to 10 points and is due on January 31.

Explore the Lake
We all know that the Lake holds different creatures (a giant squid not least among them). Though we also have to admit that the lake remains largely unexplored. It's time to change all that now! You have been chosen to take part in an expedition to explore what's in the lake and as you emerge people are eagerly awaiting your report; What have you found down there?! For this challenge we would like you to write about exactly that. Did you find an unexpected creature, did you visit with merpeople, did you find a sunken ship or perhaps the way to Durmstrang. There are so many possibilities and we are eager to hear about them. This project is worth up to 20 points and is due on January 31.

You can also vote for the projects Red Letter Days and From Bad to Worse. Voting ends on January 14. Click here to visit the Library Department.
