Welcome to Hogsmeade!! I hope you all are as excited as I am! There are many fun and exciting activities planned for you to earn points for your house and knuts for yourself! Also, Hogsmeade will be giving out a bonus 20 points/10 knuts to everyone who participates in all of the points-earning activities hosted during this Hogsmeade weekend. The points-earning activities should be relatively easy to find as they will be using the tag: "official points-earning activity."

Please feel free to make social posts for fun and to get to know your fellow Hogsmeade-goers.

Here's reminder of the basic rules of Hogsmeade Weekends:
• Sign your posts and comments with your name//house
• All points earning activities must use the "official points-earning activity" tag and must also have "Official Points-Earning Activity" within the subject line.
• Please place all large graphics (larger than 350x350) under an lj cut.
• Play nice! No house bashing or person bashing.
• And HAVE FUN!!

The Community will be open for posting very soon, until then feel free to comment here :)

Welcome to Hogsmeade! If this is your first, I hope you're having an extra-awesome time, and please try not to overindulge! There'll be future trips, so there's no need to eat so many acid lollies now that you burn a hole through your tongue. ;) I thought a pleasant tour of the town might be enjoyable; would you care to join me?
