PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST YEARS ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This school is known throughout the world as one of the most prestigious magical schools in the world, at least, if you are a witch or wizard. Many wait young children have waited their entire young lives for this letter, some even fearing the disgrace of being marked as a Squib, an non-magical person born of magical parents. Others open this letter with wonder and longing as they debate inwardly whether they are indeed a witch or wizard or if someone is playing a joke on them. Nevertheless, they are entranced as the Hogwarts Professor that hand-delivered the letter explains their magical nature and what awaits them beyond the eyes of Muggles.
It has been three years since the famous Battle of Hogwarts that decided the fate of not only Magical Britain, but Muggle Britain and possibly the entire world. In the three years since the Second Wizarding War in Britain, the dark times of Lord Voldemort's brief return seem like a passing dream, save for those who had lost loved ones during that time. Progressive and Traditional forces continue to battle within the Ministry of Magic, which has taken strides to regain its credibility, Diagon Alley continues to be a bustling district of magical shops and artisans, and, most importantly, life goes on free of the shadow cast by Lord Voldemort. Within this time of peace, Hogwarts continues to thrive as the country's most important magical school, despite the loss of Albus Dumbledore, its venerable Headmaster. In its own magical way, Hogwarts continues to be neither wholly different from the way it was in previous generations nor wholly the same as new students enter its distinguished halls, some entering the Wizarding World for the very first time in their lives.
Of course, Hogwarts no longer houses such famous names as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, or the famous Weasley twins, but that is how it should be. This year, a new generation of First-Years enter the school with their whole lives ahead of them with lessons ahead to help the grow into their magical powers and friendships to last throughout their apprenticeship in Hogwarts and beyond.
Houses
Gryffindor is well known for bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry. The house colours are scarlet and gold, and the house is symbolized by a lion. The entrance to the common room is on the seventh floor hidden behind a portrait of a fat lady. In order to get in to the common room Gryffindor students must say the right password. This is the "heroic" house as it values boldness and bravery, but some Gryffindors can be bullies. Notable Gryffindors are: Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, Hermoine Granger, and Ron Weasley
Hufflepuff is well-known for loyalty, fair play, honesty, and tolerance. The house is symbolized by a badger, and the house colours are yellow and black. Its common room is near the kitchens. Noted Hufflepuffs are Cedric Diggory and Susan Bones
Ravenclaw values wit, creativity, and wisdom. The house is symbolized by an eagle and the house colours are blue and bronze. However the house colours are portrayed as blue and silver in the movies with a raven symbolizing the house, and the interior of the house room is decorated with blue and gold. The Ravenclaw common room is located on a high tower. To enter, rather than give a password, one must answer a riddle from an eagle door knocker, such as "Where do vanished objects go?" or "Which came first, the Phoenix or the flame?" Noted Ravenclaws are Luna Lovegood, Cho Chang, and Padma Patil.
Slytherin values ambition, cleverness, cunning, resourcefulness, and pure blood heritage. The house is symbolized by a serpent, and the house colours are green and silver. Its common room is in the dungeons through three stones. Slytherin has a dark reputation, but not all or even most people in Slytherin are dark. Noted Slytherins are Severus Snape, Tom Riddle, and Horace Slughorn.

Reviews
Music wrote:Characterization seems to be very good for the most part, with a few exceptions. The sheer number of posters makes it rather confusing to tell who is who, at least until the characters have deviated from the same 'blank slate' mentality of the first-year student. The plot is character-based, and the RP is not far enough along yet to say whether an official plot itself will develop. While it is clear that the RP is going to occur at Hogwarts, it is so far unclear how much of an effect the magical world will have on the characters or the plot line. Style and mechanics of most players is highly developed. It is clear that a significant motivation to create this roleplay was to 'prove', in a way, that a literate Harry Potter roleplay is possible. Well, so far, this initiative has succeeded. I hope to have the time to continue reading your work.
