Community Profile

Welcome to another year at Hogwarts

Note: We are not just a sorting community; there are lots of other wonderful places for that, and if that's all you're interested in, you should join one of those communities. hogwartsch and its affiliated communities are, loosely, a roleplay, intended to simulate the Hogwarts experience as closely as possible.

We have just completed a complete overhaul of all communities including a member pruning, adding on new staff, and revamping the rules and sorting. As we rebuild, regain members and see a rise in participation other communities – such as lessons, clubs, the Daily Prophet – will appear once again.

Communities and Sorting FAQ

General Community Rules

Now you are ready to post your application! Start by joining this community, then proceed to post your application by creating a new entry. Since you've read the faq linked aboove you'll know that your application - located below - will go in a cue for a brief review, and that should you wish to be sorted rather than squibbed, your application should be complete, thorough, and convey your personality.

Stamping will occur on Mondays (provided you have enough votes). Once you have been stamped you will receive an invite to your common room and you may then join hogwartsch for dicussion, contests and everything else!

THE APPLICATION
Copy/Paste the following into your new entry for easy formatting. Current points are 10 for referring, 5 for sorting:

Our Sorting Hat Song
By : enchantee, of Hufflpuff

You probably are wondering
Which of these houses you'll be in
Ask me, ask me, go and see
Nothing's a mystery to me

In Gryffindor, the lion dwells
He is most daring with his spells
Honour, Strength, your heart's not poor
If you belong in Gryffindor

In Ravenclaw, the raven sleeps
The cleverest there earn their keep
The other students stare in awe
As you belong in Ravenclaw

In Hufflepuff, the badger sings
Honest and loyal, above all things
Justice, patience, that's the stuff
To land you in dear Hufflepuff

In Slytherin, the serpent's lair
For those who have a cunning air
Your ambition will lead you in
To meet your type in Slytherin

So put me on, I'll do my best
And put your worries all to rest
I'll sort you well, I'll sort you right
In the right house, you'll sleep tonight.</center>
