Rumiko, you lead magics in the game if you want. I dont think I know enough about it to make proper calls. Alls I know is the magics in the movies were utterly disappointing except for whatever Dumbledor casts in the crystal cave. :O
I agree, sometimes those character archetypes can be really conducive to the story as well as the character development of other characters. However, I think its kind of hard to pull off and can really rely on everyone else (including the DM and their story) along with one's own skill...

I guess my comments were more of a warning than anything else.
I like those house names except for Florifun, haha. I particularly like foxglove but maybe thats just because it reminds me of foxhound. :P Also, I might change some of the symbols/mascots. One or two of them could use something more magical/mystical/mythical. :)

I also agree that we can keep it open for players to be professors or students. That way, if someone has a cool idea for a class that isnt normally in the Hogwarts curriculum, they can play the professor who teaches it if they so please. After the initial applications, we can create some NPC professors and, if a new player comes along, we can have the professor leave and a new professor (the new player) come in.
Id like to expand on what I said about the character possibly being boring... The insanity-idea is cool for the first few posts because, well, he's crazy. However, it gets boring because a character like that doesnt have character development. Thus the character becomes quite flat. :(
Im not the DM but... have you played a character like that before? Theyre surprisingly boring after about 10 posts. :/
Im glad to see some people interested. RumikoOhara, I would love some help if you'd be willing. Shadow and Serinaty, you guys seem pretty knowledgeable as well.

I like the idea of putting a school in America. Salem, Mass. would be awesome. Im picturing an awesome old/creepy castle that would be used for the school. Furthermore, making our own houses would mean removing the actual canon HP story fairly easily. If we did a school in America, we could make our own houses, though, some people might be disappointed not to be in their favorite Hogwarts house.

Here are some of the things we'd need to think about:

  • What kind of school do we want/ setting-- America? If so, we need to create the school, teachers, classes, etc.

  • What kind of magic do we want? The same magic as the canon story? Do we want to be strict on specific magics or should we leave it open to the player?

  • What kind of conflict do we want to have? Will there be an evil professor or will there be some sort of external antagonist?



If we are serious about going through with this, it will be OUR rp and not just MY rp. :)

EDIT: If we change the setting to America, it might be a good idea to keep the spell-system. Otherwise, we run the risk of changing TOO much to the point where you could barely call it an HP RP.
Yaaaaaaay!!!
Thank you soo much silavor for all that!! One last question, can I make more than one character?

Also, I think gecko makes a good point in making a new thread, especially with silavor having just rounded up all that info into a single spot.
Alright, Im not the biggest Harry Potter fan and a lot of the story of Harry Potter kinda bothers me... But would anyone be interested in an RP that involves the WORLD of Harry Potter without any of the plot from Harry Potter? Id also like to change around the spells because I think most of them are lame/generic/simple and can use an overhaul to something more exciting/awesome.

Anyways, hiding from Muggles, being in a school for witches and wizards, the different houses, all of this sounds cool to me. Id just rather ignore the whole Harry/Voldemort vein... However, Im waaaay too lazy to make an OoC for this (Im a perfectionist and would have to make the OoC waaaay more extravagant than need be)... so would anyone want to make this RP with me??? If not, and I got enough interest, I might throw together an OoC anyways. Lemme know what you guys think!!!
Maybe PM it instead? It might just be me but Id rather the surprise and mystery. :P
