To All Future Residents of Number Twelve Grimmauld Place:
Once you have been granted residency at Number 12, you are bound to obey the following house rules (some of which are Filch-inspired, so my apologies):
1. Identify yourself whenever you post an essay, review, poetry, comment, article, etc. This is to say you should have some sort of a "secret name," which is, of course, inspired by the characters from the seven books. Any pen name that alludes to a character from those vampire books will be jinxed or hexed into oblivion.
2. Only posts having to do with Harry Potter and the wizarding world will have a place in this house. I am encouraging intellectual discussion on any or all of the seven books, as well as their film adaptations. If you wish to speak about vampires and werewolves, the muffliato charm will automatically take effect on that post.
3. Bad comments about house-elves are strongly discouraged in this house. You can say anything you want about goblins and trolls and giants, but, by all means, keep the good name of the house elves.
4. Bland, boring, cliched comments like "nice, great, iloveit!" and the like must be avoided. This is a group blog exclusive for Potter insiders who have read all the books and seen all the films, which means you are supposed to have a lot to say about the matter at hand.
5. Never invite Potterhead imposters into this house. All residents must know the Harry's world by heart. (Which is why anyone aspiring to be a member/resident must be able to answer all the questions in the previous post and a test, before becoming an official resident of this site.)
I remain,
Your first secret-keeper,
H. Granger*
