The Harry Potter Challenge

HOGWARTS STUDENT - YEAR THREE - RAVENCLAW - Day 21

It’s nice to return to Hogwarts once again after some break. Muggles around me were a little suspicious but fortunately I was able to hide all that I already mastered-and hoping to learn much more this year!
Needed to wake up a little earlier so that I catch my 9 3/4 Hogwarts train.

 

IMO we can try various experiments so totally don’t mind any of those adjustments

Saying that for me personally getting to that week was very motivating & I treated it like award after hard work (7days) so making it like 3 days or less will make it IMO lose this “hard worked” award-so I would vote 7 or 5.

Also worth noting-if we change it then it will need to be moved somewhere so i.e will make shortest years longer or what?

 

I'm in agreement with @devsMind

I'm doing the Star Trek and Star Wars Challenges too, and they have 'Civilian' (1-7), and 'Youngling' (0-6). Admittedly, the Star Trek one has 'Borg' for Day 0, so maybe an interim thing between 0-1, or between 5-7 days, but not sure what.

I'd also add that once you become a Hogwarts Student, the years will start to look the same, as the only thing that changes is the Year number itself, and if some find being a Muggle for one week demotivating, then they'll likely find Hogwarts Student Year One, Year Two, Year Three, and so on, equally demotivating.

I feel you've done the categories and dates just right. It's basically 90 days from Muggle to completing the 7th and final year as a student, and then graduating Hogwarts, After that, you can branch off. It's perfect IMO.

I wouldn't adjust the Hogwarts Years, but if you can think of a category for Day 0-1, or for 5-7, then I'd be cool with that.

 

Yep makes sense, maybe introducing something like
Day 0-1: Troll -> you cannot think on your own - PMO has strong power over you etc
or
House-elf -> You live to serve wizard family (PMO), but slowly notice that there is more to live than PMO.

I mean Muggle is like ordinary unaware folk without magic-but still has free will, can get letters and stuff ;-)

 

Hogwarts Student - Year One - Slytherin - Day 13

I will finish my first year in hogwarts tonight. I have to admit right now i am as stressed as never before. I really wasnt aware how hard it is to be a Hogwarts Student.
Lets hope year two will be easier for me!

Slytherin rocks ​

 

Another idea-why not do both-and for sake of not needing to update statuses which last like one day or two days we could even kinda not count those at all-so that even that Muggle will be seen as kind of reward instead given for granted. Example:
Day 0 - Troll, once free but now totally under control of Lord PMO
Day 1-2 - House-elf, lived long time to serve PMO familybut slowly notice that thereis more to live than PMO.
Day 3-6 -Muggle, you wait for list and stuff-but at this point your name is mentioned in “leaderboard” and also it is not impacting next levels, yet possibly will be more motivating & will now take only 3 days (so troll+elf combined)

 

Great job!

 

Also i would suggest to replace year 7 with 'head-boy' as this title is reserved for year 7 students.

And maybe one could become quidditch team member by year 4 or 5!?

 

It's looks...

 

Totally agree-good job Bro @Don'tLookBack , I salute you for that!

 

Thanks guys! Will look to keep going with this, love this thread.

 

Hogwarts Student - Year Two - Slytherin - Day 14

Back in Hogwarts as a Year 2 student. Feels more common now. Good to not be the rookie anymore.

Slytherin rocks ​

@Don'tLookBack great job. Thanks for adjusting the challenge. Looks awesome
