Yes. Hence the words in the end of the form to help if they ended being too many."

I figured. I was only joking.

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to play again this year. When will the teams be posted? I just made a tentative book list & can't wait to get started!

And they only get better the further you progress in the series!! :-)

Monday. That gives us 5 days to get everything ready to start the challenge as soon as midnight hits Lisbon/London from Friday to Saturday (12th)

Yay! Hah our team got the team challenge bug! 😉

I just realized I dont own a Ravenclaw scarf afterall *is heartbroken* I was all like I can just make my own...bought the yarn for two versions (a silver/blue & bronze/blue) and have yet to make either *cries*

Butcher is taking so long to come out with Peace Talks that I might have to reread the series again. If he doesn't want to write it anymore then give the fans a closing book.

Yeah, he's frustrating me to no end. I do wonder what he's doing for income, since he hasn't released a book in a few years. He has Brief Cases coming out next month at least, but it's not quite the same. :(

Signed up last night! Kaley, Hufflepuff here :)

ETA — New to this challenge and a little nervous (reading all the possible ways to earn points had my head spinning!) but mostly excited.

I've enjoyed reading the series this winter and spring. I'm delaying reading #15 because I know I will want more adventures with Harry!

Worry not, we'll help. Erm... making the head spin faster... is helping, right?

I turned out to be Hufflepuff. I wanted to be a Ravenclaw. Bummer

Awwwww, but Hufflepuff has Newt and Tonks and even pretty pre-sparkling Cedric!

Ha!! Sounds like this will be quite the challenge then :)

Kaley, don't worry about all the extra challenges in the game. Last round, I just read what I felt like reading and did whatever little extras I happened to have books for on hand. Your team won't be mad if you can't participate in a particular side game or expect to you read books you don't want to read or anything.

Is anyone else pouring through their shelves looking for books that might fit tasks. Previous challenges have made me paranoid. Parsley! (i know some of you know what I am talking about)

Uhmmm parsley sounds like a handy ingredient to something....
Muahahaha
*evil laugh*

Just kidding... Kind of

I also wanted to be Ravenclaw, but I turned out to be Gryffindor. I wonder if we can choose our own house??

I also got "Red Squirrel" as my patronus.

I want a do-over!!! (LOL)

Aww I'm sure the red squirrel is cute! :P

My patronus is a Leopardess.

everyone worrying about what house they're in reminds me of this tumblr post but i can't find it. basically the person wanted to be in ravenclaw i think so they took the pottermore quiz and kept getting slytherin so they like made an entirely new account and went and looked up which answers would give them ravenclaw and used those answers and their friend was just like 'this is why it kept saying you were in slytherin' lol

Haha that's so accurate!! I took the quiz on Pottermore I believe six times. Not because I wanted to get something specific, but because I was curious. The first four times I took it, I got Hufflepuff. The fifth time I took it was RIGHT after the fourth, because I had so many answers I was stuck between two on.... and even though they were *supposed* to be different questions every time, they were most often the same. So I decided to take it the fifth time and just go with the *other* option on the ones I was stuck on, and got Slytherin.

I've only taken it once (the sixth time) since it got updated to make it "more accurate," and that time I got Slytherin..... but I still identify as a Hufflepuff because majority rules. :-P And because every time I tried to claim Slytherin, someone would be like "uh, no" and everyone who knows me and who knows Harry Potter agrees that I'm a Hufflepuff. Though I sometimes refer to myself as a Slytherpuff ;-)

I took the quiz many times. At first, when we had the better Pottermore I kept my old house. Eventually, I did look up answers to get Slytherin after deleting my house every attempt

Honestly I think Slytherpuff is a totally underrated house combination so to me that makes sense that you would get consistently get both results, but yeah at the end of the day I say just pick the house you identify with the most because Harry chose his house so why can't we lol

Sign Ups received from this point onward will be put on a reserve list.

That means we will add you to a team when a spot becomes available, or we will create a new team if/when enough new sign ups are received

That also means we are getting closer to teams!!! yay! ;)

For any La Croix drinkers, here’s another way to sort yourself into an HP house. I got Slytherin, same as the Pottermore quiz results.

I just did that quiz and they sorted me into Ravenclaw! Which is where I really belong (not Gryffindor) LOL

I got Griffindor for this one but I've gotten Ravenclaw for the other one.

My patronus is a Nebeline Cat but I want a do over because I answered one question wrong and missed another one. I couldn't stay in my happy place lol.

I like my wand though.

Looking forward to this adventure!

Also someone posted how much they miss wobble. I miss my teammates and the camaraderie but NOT wobble itself, haha. That thing kicked my booty and it was my first team challenge ever!

On another topic

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU ALL

I'm Ravenclaw and got Slytherin for this quiz. Although I'm pretty sure that's just because I don't like La Croix and pretty much said everything was "la gross" lol

did the test... don't really see how it can really represent our house...
whatever ! I got Hufflepuff with that one. I'm Ravenclaw on Pottermore. But I'm ok with the idea of being a Ravenpuff.
I believe all houses are awesome in their own way.

I just signed up. Could have sworn we had this week, 1-4th (Friday), but it's already on the reserve list as of this morning? Very fast.

Either way, I'm signed up and sorted from Gryffindor on the Reserve

Sorry Erin. I was having a busy day at work, so I closed them up middle afternoon (for me) because I was sure no logging on computer was on my future when I finally got home. Which was 10 minutes ago, I'm better than Trelawney

Oh, I'm so bummed that I only just learned about this, and already sign-ups are closed. I should be on the reserve list, though, so I'll hope to be added to a team, because. . .

I LOVE Tower Teams! :-)

Good morning Jen,
yes, you are on the reserve list.

Aww, I have been on a hiatus! Hopefully ya'll will need me

It's Mondaaaaay! TEAM DAY! :D

LOL

Good morning Megan.

We're doing finishing touches.

About to go to bed. So all will be revealed in the morning - woo hoo will dream of Hogwarts all night 😜

I saw Hogwarts in my dreams two days in a row, bc I was so excited to sign-up. :D

Teams!

Megan wrote: "It's Mondaaaaay! TEAM DAY! :D"

Yay!!! Can't wait!

Just a heads up, we had less sign-ups this time. That means, that some of team requests had to be only partially fulfilled. Worry not, we made sure you are all under same house. :o)

Team Assignments are UP for Consultation

Threads will be posted later tonight or tomorrow.
