Ilvermorney--US Wizarding School--comes to PA

We are thrilled to be launching a trial of JK Rowling's Ilvermorney, the American school for witchcraft and wizardry!

Because access between the two schools would surely be part of the security within school grounds, the only want to access Ilvermorney for now is to take the magical ferryboat. The ferry launch is located, in Hogwarts, near the boatshed and is staffed with a captain. It also has a steward that will provide refreshments in much the same manner as the trolley lady on the Hogwarts express.  

Students and school faculty will be allowed to attend "commute" between the schools for things like special classes, special events, etc.  

This means you can now make American students who will also be attending some classes at Hogwarts. And your students can go for some limited classes in America!  Our hope is that it will help us to take a new and exciting direction with Hogwarts itself, as well as opening up more creative locations for play.  

However, please note, for now, during the trial, students and faculty will be the only ones to access Ilvermorney. Access off Ilvermorney grounds would surely be very, very limited and only permitted as part of a school sponsored activity. Remember, this would be a new collaboration for the schools too, ic, and they'd want to insure the safety for everyone involved.

Try it out, see how you like it, and let us know! Have fun with it!!

I have Casey Weasley who I would like to transfer there? How would we go about that?

Ilvermorney is only a trial at the moment, so Casey could attend some classes there or go on an exchange (feel free to post in the forums), but she couldn't transfer there permanently.

We're also about to launch an event that takes place at Ilvermorney, which you'll probably find more interesting for her.

I meant exchange, sorry. She would be hoping to make it permanent, but we can start off with trial. She originally attended Salem Witches in the US but she's just looking to not be at Hogwarts for the school year at all.

How do I go about setting up my character Delwyn Pugh to take a class or two at Ilvermorney?

We have an event coming up to kick that off The Admins are planning it

Awesome, thanks

I just made an Ilvermory student and am wondering if I can start rping with her now or would it be better to wait for event the admins are planning?

you could certainly start using her now, i think, but the events at the school aren't obviously open yet. you might have to have an ic reason for her to be in england for the moment, for a few days or so. um...perhaps a family emergency (maybe a grandparent or an aunt or something? somebody injured while on a holiday to england? idk. thats just off the top of my head.)
