Slyther on!  

Posted by Quinn in

Make way for the house of the Snakes!

We've got devilishly charming young rakes.
We'll beat you at Quidditch
And then eat some Spinach
And finish with Honeydukes cakes!
 
GO SLYTHERIN!


Cheering poem for Quidditch!  

Posted by Anonymous in

Ah, a merry game it is, Quidditch
Whether played by wizard or played by witch
Hogwarts All Stars playing against the Ballycastle Bats
And a St. Patrick’s Day match at that!

Who will win the game? Let us guess…
The team to profess speed and alertness
Four houses coalesce, and will not rest
Until the snitch, they posess!

Hogwarts! Hogwarts!!
Dominating Quidditch field and sky
We’ll send those Bats back to Northern I
Then off to the Three Broomsticks we will fly
To celebrate with Butterbeer and mincemeat pie!

Hogwarts! Hogwarts!!
The team to beat
Spectators, never leave your seat
The game will be quick, it will be merry
The Ballycastle Bats will be buried!!

Goooooo Hogwarts!!!!

A Little Cheer to Inspire Our Team

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, we're the best! We're the team that never rests!

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, go, go, go! Beat those Bats and steal the show!

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, they're our team! They don't suck like lima beans!

Gooooo, Hogwarts! WOO! YEAH!

Quick Quidditch Competition

As everyone is aware, our next Quidditch match will be on Tuesday, March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. Coincidently, Hogwarts will be playing a special match against the Ballycastle Bats from Ireland. In preparation for the match, Miss Wartbobble and I challenge everyone at Hogwarts to come up with an original cheer to encourage our Hogwarts All-Star Team on to victory!

Post your best original cheer here by midnight PST on Friday, March 13. A random drawing for a prize will be held from the names of those who post cheers. Let's see just how original Hogwarts witches and wizards can be!!

Points awarded for Quidditch will remain the same as always.

Gryffindor Arithmancy Assignment  

Posted by Lizzie Wychwood in , ,

Gryffindor students, your assignment this week is in Arithmancy.

Firstly solve the sudoku puzzle below, which relies on the 9 numbers used in arithmancy. Then by reference to the given grid, establish the letters indicated by the numbers in shaded cells and unscramble them to indicate a character from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Note that numbers in the top 3 rows of the sudoku represent letters shown in green, with the middle 3 rows representing letters shown in red, and the bottom 3 rows representing letters shown in blue. Post the character’s name on your blog, and describe their personality. You may find the arithmancy guide given here useful.



The assignment is due to be submitted by 12 midnight on Saturday 14th March. Good luck everybody.

Sorry everyone,

If I am not, does anyone know anything about it?

Dueling Club, Round 2  

Posted by Agatha Vablatsky in

Good morning Duelers! This round, I attempted to have a theme week with the theme being ‘Diamonds In The Rough’.

Each pattern (with the exception of the newly added crochet gloves, which were a last minute addition) has a diamond motif of some sort within the pattern!

Here are the links for the patterns for round two (including links to the patterns on ravelry in case you would like to look at them).


As always, here are a few reminders: First, NO OVERNIGHT SHIPPING. Second, please email me at hsksduelclub at gmail dot com AND post to the HSKS7 dueling club ravelry thread when you receive your item. This will help both me and all the other duelers keep track of winners. Third, you must send an item to your partner win or lose. If you lose a duel, you can send the partially (or fully) completed item or yarn required to make the item. And fourth, HAVE FUN!!!

Best of luck everyone!

Congratulations Minerva Wood!

The Ravenclaw house had some pretty clever and time-consuming homework this week which was done with great wits and many laughs!



What the 'Claws didn't know was that we planned to hold a special drawing for some goodies from the Crazy 4 Dyeing shoppe which is owned by our fellow 'Claw Patonga Pinkstone. All the names were put into a special hat and the winner is:

Minerva Wood!
The Crazy 4 Dyeing store is also having a March Madness sale... 20% off all sock yarn! You can use the link in the Diagon Alley section to the right of this post, or click on the pic above.
