Hogwarts Live just got the largest redesign in the school’s history (courtesy of me). The old interface had character, in the same way a condemned building has character. Now it’s gone.
This took much longer than expected, which is true of most things, so I hope you like it and don’t...
Cupid's Arrow - New Event for Valentine's Day
I've just released a new event for Valentine's Day called Cupid's Arrow, in which an incompetent cherub roams the land firing romance-infused ammunition at anything that holds still long enough to regret it.
It ties into marriages by giving married players bonus flirt points, occasional double...

The Hogwarts Live Forums
Thought I'd surprise people with this for Christmas, especially you roleplayers who wanted a place to post longer-form content: https://hogwartslive.com/forum/
Same rules apply as with the rest of the site, but for those of you who are truly helpless I created an etiquette guide:...

The Yule Ball Has Arrived
The Yule Ball has been created (look for The Yule Ball in your navigation). This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move (particularly by those who must now dance in it). The Yule Ball is now open on HL and will continue to inflict social anxiety upon players...
Hogwarts Live Server Migration
I just migrated to a new server for HL (I know last migration was only in June, but this new server should be faster and more reliable). It may take few days before things are back to normal. If you notice any weirdness or slowness or missing data petition for help or post in Discord.

New Features: Minister of Magic Elections, Ministry of Magic Jobs, and Choose Your Love Interest
Ever dream of becoming Minister of Magic (yeah, me neither)? But for those of you who like popularity contests we now have monthly elections for the Minister of/for Magic. You, with your 7+ Voldemort Encounters (the metric of all true leadership potential), can vote daily like it's a BuzzFeed poll,...
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (Hint: The Forbidden Forest)
So your Headmaster (me) just dropped a new feature that's basically Pokemon but with more British accents and ethical ambiguity. Enter the Fantastic Beasts Module, where you punch magical creatures in the face, then shove them into a sentient suitcase like a deranged wizard hoarder.
You'll meet...

Breaking News From the Department of Magical Affairs
Your Headmaster has just dropped a steaming hot cauldron of NEW FEATURES into the game and now my wrists hurt cause I've been working like a house-elf on mop duty after the Quidditch World Cup.

New Colors (aka Color Chaos Unleashed)
Now, you may be wondering, "Why do I need new colors?" First of all, how dare you. Second, because people asked for more colors.
Are these colors final? No. (So stop complaining or come up with better ones.)
The current (again, not final) list:
1 - Dark Blue
2 - Dark Green
3 -...

The Design Changes You Didn't Know You Needed (and Might Still Not Appreciate)
Look, we thought we were done. We really did. We unleashed the first major Hogwarts Live redesign in over 20 years, dramatically wiped the sweat from our brows, and prepared to retreat into the dark abyss from whence we came.
But no. That would be too easy. Instead, like a Hogwarts staircase...
