That's right. An advanced Harry Potter RP. Move over Casual and/or Free Sections.
Everything's still pretty conceptual, so nothing's set in stone yet. That being said, here's the frame so far.
• The RP takes place in Hogwarts, September of 2015. That's right, nerd! The year James Sirius Potter goes to Hogwarts! That being said, I'd prefer nobody use a canon character, or even relative of canon character -- I normally try to avoid canon as much as possible, because I feel like I didn't read enough Harry Potter as a kid to do J.K. Rowling's characters justice. We'll still have a few canon characters (Professor Longbottom, for example) but they won't be taking the spotlight any time soon.
• The story follows a Ragtag Group Of Friends™ as they make their way through seven years of Hogwarts. If this gets enough interest there might also be subplots for people who want to play professors and the like, but for the most part, it centers on the group. Unless there's an overwhelming wave of interest, applications will likely be for 3-4 students. (Whether or not they're all from the same house is up to the group as a vote.)
• Because there's not much available information about who taught at Hogwarts at the time, we'll be making a lot of professors, if that interests you guys. Classes will still be the standard Hogwarts classes, however.
• I haven't decided on a general plot yet, but I have a few ideas I'm mulling over. There's a possibility we might follow the formula of the books and have one major event/mystery per year, getting increasingly less "zany magic" as it goes on, and more "world-threatening magic"
Gimme your thoughts! If people are interested, I'll start working on character sheets sooner rather than later.
