Alopex Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Hello, HPFT Houses! Welcome to round 1 of MAGIC. Before the calls begin (in the next 12 to 15 hours), we first have information and items to give out. We had many task submissions! The totals for that are: Hufflepuff - 207 Gryffindor - 139 Slytherin - 115 Ravenclaw - 3 So we're going to give out cards in that order (not that it matters much...they are all randomly generated, and we're pulling them off the "stack" one at a time to give out ). If you wish to purchase additional cards, they will cost 20 house points each. You may purchase them at any time between now and when someone wins the round. Hufflepuff cards Spoiler Gryffindor cards Spoiler Slytherin cards Spoiler Ravenclaw cards Spoiler The special MAGIC patterns for Round 1! There are four patterns--this time representing the first letter of each house. Spoiler G H R S How this will work: As a reminder, the rules/overview thread is here. If you have any questions, please post them in that thread (you may also use it to say, "Hey, we asked a question in our CR discussion thread when a staffer can check it out!" if you wish your question to remain private). A question about a specific task can be posted in this thread if you prefer. Staff will call out numbers/tasks in this thread You will work as a house in your common rooms to complete any tasks that come up on your cards If you complete one of the special patterns or the blackout/coverall, post in this thread to shout "MAGIC!" A staff member will check your completed tasks as soon as someone is available Game play will continue (unless it's the blackout/coverall), but as long as you shouted MAGIC and everything is in order, you will receive the points If you are using a google sheet or doc to track your answers, please screenshot your tasks when you MAGIC as proof you had everything completed Lengths: You all favored lengthy writing tasks, such as writing whole stories. We're not going to be as mean as that, so we have some guidelines regarding lengths of various things. Reviews should be 1000 characters minimum (including spaces) Exceptions: very short pieces such as drabbles or poems should have reviews equal to half the piece's character count) Posts on the forum should be 1000 characters where possible. This includes blog entries. Topics where it's hard to add much (not much discussion happening) should be a robust 5-sentence paragraph Topics or tasks such as status updates, posting a list of questions, participating in a game, etc. obviously don't need to be 1000 characters long Writing tasks should also be 1000 characters. If it says "write about" or "write a story" it is not necessary to write more than 1000 characters--though you may if you wish. If you choose to submit to the queue, it does not need to be validated before it counts You are not required to submit to the queue if you believe there is a more appropriate place to post your piece. If you aren't sure at all where to put it, making sure to post it in your common room will suffice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxiMalfoy Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I49 - Correctly answer the following trivia questions: Quote 1. According to OoTP, how many years did Snape apply for the DADA position before it was given to him? 2. What was the first thing Snape asked an 11-year-old Harry in his first Potions class? 3. What is the hidden meaning behind Snape's first question to Harry? 4. What did Snape promise to teach his students, provided they weren't “as big a bunch of dunderheads” as he usually got stuck with? 5. What year was Severus Snape in when he invented the spell Sectumsempra? 6. What is Draco Malfoy's middle name? 7. In what county in Britain is Malfoy Manor located? 8. Name three distinct markings of a werewolf versus a normal wolf. 9. What competition did Vernon Dursley receive notification of that he was a finalist in at the beginning of Order of the Phoenix? 10. Name three ingredients of Polyjuice Potion. 11. In accordance with Pottermore, name the two known hatstalls and the Houses they were equally suited for. 12. What three names did a late-teen Sirius Black, circa 1977, give the police when he was questioned with James Potter? EDIT: There was a typo in question #9 that has now been fixed. The competition in question actually occured at the beginning of OotP, and not HBP. Sorry for any confusion that this may have caused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
