[Announcement] 14 Years of Magic

[div style="width:575px;text-align:justify"]It's time to celebrate 14 YEARS OF MAGIC on Magical Hogwarts! This year we're celebrating the reasons that brought us all here in the first place: writing and Harry Potter. This thread will serve as the central hub for Anniversary information and questions.

SORTING CEREMONY
Now you have the chance to get sorted! Head over to this thread to get started. After everyone has had a couple days to submit their choices, houses will be announced and then the real fun begins! Participate in the various Anniversary activities to earn points for your house and earn the House Cup (to be announced at Anniversary's conclusion)! HINT: It will be greatly beneficial to your House if you participate in everything the Anniversary has to offer.

GAMES
Get your game shoes on! Fan favorites are back, as well as a few new things!
  -- Jeopardy!
  -- Anniversary Polls
  -- Name that Driver
  -- Movie Group Watch
  -- Where Was Your Character When...
  -- If I Were Magical...
  -- The Sound of MHers
  -- Your HP Pics Go Here
  -- Race to Finish the WIP

WORKSHOPS
Writer's block? Just plain out of ideas? We're excited to announce a slew of workshops to get the creative juices flowing! Jump over to the following boards and threads to get started:
  -- Character Workshops
  -- Writing Workshops
  -- Member-Made Lore Workshop
  -- Graphics Workshops

ROLEPLAYING
This Anniversary brings with it many opportunities to roleplay! Participate in the Driver Discovery Challenge, the Thread Thunderdome, or the special edition Threadfests. And don't forget the Anniversary Plot! Introducing: Yggdrasil's Net. Suddenly wizards all over the world, despite being complete strangers and living hundreds of miles from each other, find themselves supernaturally connected– able to share knowledge, thoughts, and even magic with one another. Please see this thread for more information about this exciting plot.


Most importantly, thank you for being a part of this community. MH would be nothing without its members.

and proving why Slytherins are the best[/cstine]

[cstine]ATTENTION ATTENTION[/cstine]

We'll be wrapping up anniversary soon.

You have until noon on Sunday (12:00 pm EDT on September 3rd) to make any posts, graphics, or characters you would like to make in order to gain house points. You then have an additional hour (until 1:00 pm EDT) to submit final claims for those points.

Incomplete THD, DDC, and Bloom plot threads may be submitted for points but will not receive the full reward like completed threads would.

The noon deadline will also apply to rolls in the Hogwarts Hurry.

We might be a little slow updating points over the next couple days because there is just so much to do, so don't trust the House Cup thread if you think you're winning. It's time to GO ALL OUT in a frenzy for points.

Who else wants to gang up on Gryffindor?

And as another reminder, you have just 12 hours left to submit answers for Jeopardy.

Other admins, please feel free to add to this because I'm sure I've forgotten something.

NOOOOOOOO! 

[cstine]THAT'S IT, FOLKS[/cstine]

Anything posted after 12:00:00 PM EDT will not be eligible for house points. Please head on over to the HOUSE CUP thread to claim your points. You have 52 minutes from now. We can't accept late submissions. Even from Slytherins.

we should have some sort of graphics pool for all these amazing graphics that have been made in the course of the anni. I love them all (not only the Ravenclaw ones) and I think that it would be a shame if they disappeared again.
