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.

Muggle Characters Running About! Empty Muggle Characters Running About!

If you hadn’t noticed, we have a new type of character on the forum: Muggles! They'll be colored pink. In order to understand how that happened, check out the most recent Daily Prophet article.

Some things to note that were not expressly stated in the IC article:

  • Pixies can no longer be used as a plotting device, since they have been captured. Need an analogy? Magic is floating around rather like a cloud, and once you step into it, a small part of your magic joins that cloud, and the magic you still have acts wonky.

  • Yes, your characters can accidentally cast things, but nothing above their abilities. So, first years will definitely not apparate on accident. And the spells should be innocuous (not harmful) at first. If they do get worse, just note that your character will not be casting any Unforgivable Curses. Nothing that dangerous. Note that Muggles cannot protect themselves from these accidental spells, but if witches and wizards don’t see it coming, they might not manage to save themselves from it either. Just don’t go messing with someone’s character without permission and we’ll be fine, yeah?

  • This inability to use magic properly is spreading like a virus, but is not actually a virus. Essentially, if you get near someone who has the problem, you’ll have the problem. Currently, it is assumed that the failing of the witches’ and wizards’ magic is the cause of the Muggles’ ability to see what’s happening. This will be expanded upon in part two of the plot  Also, Muggles can read the Prophet if a witch or wizard gives it to them, but you should keep up with the articles OOC.

  • Only Muggles with a notable relationship to the plot will be accepted (See the thread in Creating Your Character about Muggle applications!).

  • Important roles for this plot will be listed in the Dramatis Personae thread, and you should definitely post there so people will know your post and you will be included. There are special roles listed there that you can talk to Admins about, and you will need to be approved for them before you post the application.


If you have any questions, post here, or feel free to shoot a PM and we’ll get it sorted out for you! Also, if you haven’t noticed the Mass Thread for getting rid of the snow, that’s located in the Leaky and will remain open for anyone who wants to participate. Just note that it happened BEFORE the pixies escaped, so everyone’s magic is working properly in that thread. Very Happy

We’re also still looking for Professors to hold classes. We Admins don’t want to take the roles unless we have to, so please help us out <3

Speaking of jobs, there won’t be a specific thread for Muggle jobs, because that goes in the Dramatis Personae thread Smile

This is your chance to make a Muggle (or you can talk to an Admin about making a Squib, if you would really like to) so don’t miss out! The max number, right now, that a person can have of Muggle characters is two, but that’s because they are temporary characters, and we want you to get the most out of your plotting. Honestly, just having one would totally be worth it. Smile
