Hey my lovely staff! This is our place to come and discuss the site and anything we need to work on!

The most popular place for the wizarding folk of England to shop for all their magical needs, from cauldrons of every size, to owls, sweets and everything a Hogwarts student could possible want.

Just around the corner from Diagon Alley lies a dark, twisting alleyway devoted to the Dark Arts: Knockturn Alley. It's a place that the Weasley children are not allowed in, and with good reason; not only are the wares sold their a bit dodgy, but the wizards hanging around behave fairly suspiciously as well. From the shops and the street vendors one can purchase, among other things, shrunken heads, poisonous candles, human-looking fingernails, and Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent.

Home to the Minister of Magic Pius Thicknesse, along with many valued employees, such as Aurors and the much wondered about, Unspeakables.

Founded in late 1500s or early 1600s by Mungo Bonham, St. Mungo's Hospital is the primary (and likely only) wizarding hospital in Britain. Located in an abandoned department store in London, the hospital's Healers treat wizards for all sorts of magic-related illnesses and injuries, and in extreme circumstances has been known to treat Muggles as well. The hospital's logo is a wand and a bone, crossed, and donations are welcome.

The most ancient and noble house of Black... currently the hideaway of Harry Potter while he looks for the Horcruxes. Will it stay quite so safe and secure for long?

The only fully wizarding town in Britain. Hogsmeade is not far from Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. It has many wonderful shops and sites. And is a favourite with many Hogwarts students.

Azkaban is a terrible place. Prisoners were for years guarded by Dementors, horrible creatures who have been described as "sightless soul-sucking fiends." They feed on positive emotions, which means that after spending much time in the prison, the prisoners lose all hope and all good feelings and thoughts. They are forced to relive the darkest, most horrible memories of their lives. Some go mad, others simply despair and die.

In the dungeons of Hogwarts you will find the Slytherin and Hufflepuff Common rooms, as well as the Potions Master and Head of Slytherin's office, the potions class rooms and the potion master's store cupboard. It would be wise for ones own well being not to be caught snooping around the potions store cupboard.

The ground floor of Hogwarts contains, the entrance hall, the Great Hall and the professor's staff room.

On the first floor you will find a number of classrooms as well as Professor McGonagall's Office. Professor is the Head of Gryffindor House and transfiguration teacher.

The second floor of Hogwarts is home to a number of classrooms and many other things.

Home to the Gryffindor common room, the Room of Requirement and the divination classroom entrance.

The Tower's of Hogwarts are home to the headmasters office and the Ravenclaw Common Room as well as the Astronomy tower.

The grounds are quite extensive, taking in a large forest and a lot open space. There are entrances to the grounds, which seems to imply that there is a wall or fence enclosing the entire area. The main entrance gate is flanked by pillars on which stand statues of winged boars.

The home of Professor Severus Snape. It can be found in a shabby, dark street in an un-named muggle village.

The grand home of the well known Malfoy Family. It is known to be protected by many enchantments and charms.

The Burrow is the home of the Weasley family. It is an odd looking house which appears to be held together by magic, as it has many floors and is very tall and narrow. You are also likely to see gnomes running around the garden, creating mischief.

The home of Lord Sanguini Fuilteach and his children, and the seat of the Pale Court where vampire business is conducted. Enchanted so only those of mortal blood who are invited may enter the grounds, and Unplottable.
