The Restricted Section!

Hey everyone! Just to let you know, because of the OVERWHELMING participation in suggesting Summer Reading, I've decided to EXTEND the deadline (originally this past Wednesday) to the 15th of June. Again, this deadline ONLY concerns gaining points by suggesting!! You can still suggest AFTER that date (just without the points) and you can gain FURTHER points by taking up someone elses' suggestion.

Happy Birthday hogwartsishome (formerly <user site="livejournal

[ledbylove.livejournal.com]

Earlier this week, meli_p mentioned that today would be the "birthday" of the original community and, by extension, this one. To commemorate the occasion, our very own thespyglass made a little something and asked me to post it here.



Happy Birthday, HiH! And a big thank you to all my fellow officials here! I've always said that the reason this place is one of the best communities on LJ is because our officials rock and especially because all of the dedication and hard work that fun_bunn_83 puts into this place. I'm so pleased to be a part of it all.

DEBATE! Sunday, June 12th.

First of all... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HIH!

Secondly, as promised before.. it is now time to post up our debate topic. Make sure you are familiar with ( The Rules )

Please keep in mind that we are not officially starting the debate at this moment, just pre-posting it as to allow you to make your preparations. The debate will be held tomorrow, June 12th.:

Should Hogwarts stop sorting students into different houses in order to obtain unity?

House pride runs deep in the hearts and souls of the students of Hogwarts. The house you are sorted into means the world to you- it is who you are, who you've been, and even who you will become. It reads into your character and your very being, pushing you into a world with people simular to you. Many people see it's benefits: one would easily find friends they could level with, and people with interests like their own. But, on the other side of the coin lies a world where people are looked down upon, students form a deeply embedded hatred for one another, and assumptions are made.. all because of the house they are placed into.

The decision rests in your hands. Should Hogwarts stop sorting students into different houses to obtain unity amongst the students, or should they see the many benefits of grouping students together by like personalities and interests?


For Houses: Slytherin and Ravenclaw
Against Houses: Gryffindor and Hufflepuff



Best of luck to all of our debators, and I look forward to seeing out turn-out tomorrow!
