Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Soooooo I was thinking!!!

In the Harry Potter books, even during the large lockdown of Hogwarts, letters were sent to Hogwarts with the morning owls. Now Here is my idea:

Make a thread somewhere that everyone on the site can post in.. but like.. the rules are like, they must be like an owl. Here's an example:

"Rise walked into the owlery looking a little nervous. She was fearful and felt really bad about the letter she had clutched in her hand. It was addressed to Frank Longbottom, and she knew she shouldn't be sending it, but she had to tell him, she had to! Calling down an owl, she held out the letter and the owl took it staring at her. "Frank Longbottom." She said smiling and petting the owl on the head, it hooted and took off out of the owlery, she had pretty much memorized every word of the letter, and she thought about it as she walked down the stairs from the owlery.

"Dear Frank,

I'm sorry! I know It's probably stupid, and I know that you're probably going to hate me for it, but I've been thinking about it a lot. I don't know if I can live with you anymore.. I just.. know I don't belong there, you aren't my family, and I don't mean to invade in your lives any longer. I have a friend I'll be staying with.. I'm sorry.

Yours,
Rise"

Rise sighed and walked down the stairs, feeling extremely upset about it, but it was over with, and she wouldn't be going back to the Longbottom's house again."


The response would be similar, but Frank's response to Rise.. and sending it off.. That way people outside of Hogwarts, can still talk to people inside of it.. just like in the books!

I'm confused. I'd love to see an owl post system, that would just be awesome, but I wasn't exactly sure what you meant by one topic...

I got the posting style, but would it be like one big mass thread or something? With only people's sending posts being inside of it?

Ah, so a forum... you said topic, that's what got me Wink

Sounds good! If you form the idea completely, I'm happy to make it for you. I think Great Hall personally...

In fact, maybe we should just emphasise people doing it in the great hall? Lead by example or something...

yeah! I've already got a thread lined up if it were to be made, and I can totally lead by example! It just needs to be made, and maybe a little sticky saying how to work it Smile
