Christmas in July
Everybody please thank Santa Edmund for his hard work..and welcome to the NEW SERVER!!!
***THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING***
Okay, here's the deal...
Not everyone will get to see the movie right away. I hope those of you who CAN see it right away, enjoy it :) HOWEVER...PLEASE do NOT come into chat and give anything away. Now granted, most of us have read the book and know what the plot is, everyone knows that movies differ from the books they are based on. Those of us who CANNOT see it right away do NOT want to see spoilers in chat. We would LOVE to hear if you LIKED it, but we do NOT want to hear scene details. If there is someone who DOES want to know, then that person can OWL you and ASK. Do NOT randomly owl people details from the movie. You WILL be MUTED AND BANNED. Do NOT talk about the movie in chat (other than yes you liked it, no you didn't) or you WILL BE MUTED AND BANNED.
***THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING***
If you DO want to be spoiled, you can always just listen to the podcast listed below and get all the spoilers you want, and free bertie botts beans to use on the candy raffles.

The Looking Glass - Episode 2 and two Alchemy Lab Prizes
The Looking Glass Episode 2 is now up and ready for download and your listening pleasure, and this time the Wizards.FM Panel has reviewed "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" ("but wait" you say, "Doesn't that movie not come out until Wednesday?") why you are right, it does, but Barbara (SerenityRose), Mike, and myself from the Wizards.FM panel got to see it on June 28th in Sacramento at an Advanced Screening.
We talk for an hour and 40 minutes about the latest installment of the Movie Series and we'd love for you to hear what we talked about.
Also, this special event was too big for one Alchemy Lab prize, so today we have two prizes for listening to the show. Listen to the show and follow the clues and get 5000 bertie botts every flavour beans.
Also, in the podcast I mention a way that you can get a bonus prize of even more beans, just see the movie for yourself and then return to the place where you find the portkey to answer a bonus question that can only be answered after seeing the movie AND listening to the podcast.
Enjoy your Alchemy Lab prizes but remember to act fast, on Wednesday when the movie comes out the first prize will drop from 5000 beans to 2000 beans, and the second prize will drop from 2000 beans to 1000 beans when the movie has been out for a week.
Also, if you are in, or can be in the San Francisco area on July 20th, be sure to join the Wizards.FM team at the Books Inc Laurel Village in San Francisco for a live recording of WizardCast. For more details visit wizards.fm.
And now without further ado, Download The Looking Glass - Episode 2 - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix or if you want to get your chances of getting into the Alchemy Lab early in the future, Subscribe to Wizards.FM in iTunes or your favorite Podcast Feedreader.

Registration
As you all know, registration has been closed due to the instability of the server. However, Edmund has decided to tentatively open it!!
He is still unsure as to what the server will do under this new burden so we ask that those of you who already have an account (or 2 or 3 or 4...) NOT make a new one. We would like to allow some new players to join and too much activity will almost certainly cause the system to crash.
Thanks for your cooperation :)

One Year Anniversary
Most everyone knows that Edmund and I met here and fell in love. Everyone was really supportive of our Real Life Marriage. I think everyone should know that today is the one year mark Edmund and I have been married for one year today. It was all because of Hogwarts Live. Thank you to everyone and to Danilo for making this site and bringing the love of my life to me.
