Students Guide Book
Chapter I - General
● The last thing we want to see on the forum is the same model on two different accounts. For that reason, please check the
Already Claimed Faces thread, where you will find a list of already taken models. It is the right place to reserve one for your account.
● Probably if you are reading this means that you decided to become a student at Hogwarts. The first thing you should do is to actually sort yourself at
The Sorting Ceremony, during which you will be sent to one of the four houses : Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin.
● At the beginning, every student receives 600 galleons as pocket money given to him or her by his or her family in order to buy the books and equipment required for studying at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. One of the first things you should do if you're a student is to visit the shops in
Diagon Alley and buy everything you need there.
● Each of the 4 houses have a common room located in different places of the castle. You can enter only the room of the house where you’ve been sorted to .
Gryffindor TowerHufflepuff BurrowsRavenclaw TowerSlytherin Dungeons● After you’ve been sorted to a house you won’t be able to change it. The sorting will be done based on your answers to a questionnaire.
● The Grades in the wizarding World for exams are different from the ones in the Muggle world.

Chapter II - Term Dates
● Of course, it is important to know the term dates and the break between them. Here are these dates:
Beginning of the term: 10th June
Christmas Vacation: 20th December - 10th January
End of the term: 1st May
Exams: First week in May
Summer Break: 10th May - 10th June
Chapter III - How to move up to the next year
● In order to move up to the next year you must be a very active member of your house.
● More precisely, you have to earn at least 100 House points during that term to be able to advance to the next year. Also, you need to have passing grades in most of your end of term exams in order to pass.
Chapter IV - How to earn House Points and Galleons
● Earning house points is quite simple. There are many ways to do it. The most traditional method and probably the fastest is to attend classes. You will earn points based on your answers to the lessons and the quality of your homework.
● Don’t forget that if you have a rude behavior at classes or in the school, points can be deducted from your house.
● Another way is to be part of the Quidditch Team. If your team wins, your House earns 25 points and each player receives 20 galleons. For more information about Quidditch, read the Quidditch Game Guide.
● You can participate at different events (that will be announced during the term). They will bring you both money and points.
● If you are a graphic designer just fill requests from
Graphic Central Thread. You get 20 galleons for each signature/avatar you create.
● Sadly there aren’t many available jobs for students. The only available one for now is editor for the wizarding newspaper. But there are many events where you can earn money and you also get a weekly allowance of 100 galleons.
● The money you earn will be stored in your vault at Gringotts Bank. It can then be spent on
Diagon Alley, in
Hogsmeade or wherever you want.
● Salary is given at the end of the month. For that all the students are asked to reply to the
(Students) Weekly Salary Topic at
Gringott's Bank You have all information about it in this thread.
Chapter V - How to play Quidditch
● Each house has its own Quidditch team. You can join the team of the House you're in. You can find the applications
here.
● A complete guide about this game can be found
here.
Chapter VI - Exams
● There are 2 main exams in the wizarding World : O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. but during the year you can get test papers from the professors in each class.
● O.W.L is a must exam for all 5th year students.
● N.E.W.T is a must exam for all 7th year students.
● More information about this exams will be posted in a special topic in the forum.
