FAQ

What is Hogwarts United?
HU is an environment that allows you to picture your own character as a Hogwarts student. From sci-fi to SPN, from crime to comics; we have members from most of the genres and we wait for you to join us! All you need is to get creative and twist your character’s backstory a little. And a Discord account!

Are there roles to fill or do we join with an existing character?
Both! Or you could also join with a headcanon of any fandom.

Say, we want to join with a canon but do not have this character already. Do we have to make a new account for the character?
Absolutely not. It’s all up to you.

How often do we have to post?
Whenever you can!

How often do we have to be online?
At least once in a month. You just let us know if you do not feel the muse OR can’t find time to roleplay your character for over 3 weeks. We put your character on break and wait for your return. But if you don’t return for over 6 months, we may recruit a new person for your spot. But that’s pretty laid-back.

Is this group really active?
Daily sl posting average: 3
Banter: Active throughout the different times of the day, thanks to being home to writers from 7 countries all across the globe. There are at least 3 members online at any hour of the day, you'll enjoy it!

How many members are there?
55 And about 20 of them are highly active. The chances for loneliness drops almost to zero. You so so rarely might get bored.

For how long you were around?
First established in 2010.

So you play your characters between the ages 11-18. How old are you guys as writers?
We are averaged 30.9 The youngest is 25+.

Is there drama?
A LOT - but only IC. OOC drama has never happened in the group, not even once. If one feels like a treat to happy setting, this person will be warned first then be removed from the server.

I have a canon HP character but you guys do Founders era. May I still join?
Of course! Just write as if you're in your great great x 10 grandpa/grandma then you shall be good :))

What should I be prepared for....at worst?
The era is home to supremeracists (where pure-bloods despise those who are not), witch hunts, cults and medieval traditions in many areas which may bring disturbance at first. There are storylines where you can join in those sense or choose not to, so there is nothing to stress about. However, there are students who bully the half-bloods/muggle-borns in the storyline. They are extremely nice ooc and if you feel uneasy at some point, you may ask them to stop. We are all adults here. Noone will continue a story which makes you feel bad ooc.(guaranteed)

Are we allowed to use our spn skills / or write as an angel/demon?
Unfortunately, you are not. As twisted as the sl is, we do not allow anything that can disregard the world Rowling has created. However in her world there are also half-breeds being: Veela, merefolk, vampire, werewolf, shapeshifters (animagus). As long as you follow the rules of J.K.Rowling you may join us as being one of them!

Are you looking for teachers?
It's the Founders era. At such times Founders are known to train their own students. We don't accept direct applications for teachers. Only our graduates are allowed to come and teach as a visiting scholar at Hogwarts for specific classes.
