Firstly, "Hello!" to all you new people as you join up with us.
This is a pretty big forum with alot of boards, and it can be a little daunting and confusing, so here we have a list of all the boards and a little info about them to help you get started and find your way around the board.
Please note that some of the boards are passworded and there are even a few that are invisible to new members. Don't panic or feel left out though. If you stick around and join in the fun you'll get to have a peek inside eventually.

Hogwarts Express - This board is especially for new members. In here, you'll find information about the board, and recruitment threads for all the houses, and the Newbie Commons. It's easy to meet people if you post in here, because many older members will come by to introduce themselves.
Daily Prophet - This is where we post notices, and the News of the board. There are also places for people to put up personal announcements, if they've got something important coming up that they want to share (like a graduation, or a birthday, or things like that).
Riddle Room - This is where you'll find all of our word-games. In the first post of every game, you'll find instructions on how to play. We strongly suggest that you read them before you join in, so that you don't get reprimanded by the hard-core players that go in there Just remember that every answer must be Harry Potter related, and to put some thought into them - not just the simpliest thing that comes to mind.
Diagon Alley[/u][/color]
Leaky Cauldron - This board isn't HP-related. It's basically where people come to just discuss, throw ideas off of each other, theorize, and talk about important news that's happening in the world today.
WTCH (Hogwart's Radio) - This board is where people discuss all that is music. You can post the lyrics of your favourite songs, talk about your favourite bands, what makes a song "good." There's a big variety of topics in there, but they're all about music.
Flourish and Blotts - We've got tons of creative and artistic people on this board, and this is where they share their stuff. You can share or see other people's poetry, stories, art, and music.
St. Mungo's Hospital for Real-Life Maladies - This is *not* a Role-Playing board. When you're having problems, it often helps to be able to share them with other people and get advice. If you're having something that you need someone to talk to about, post in there and someone will be there to help you.
Diagon Alley - Any member of the board can set up a store, or peruse other member's stores in our Diagon Alley.
Lytter Alley - This is a board where people can buy or sell services or goods. Anyone can post in it, but only House Members are allowed to purchase things, or have their own store. This is because the trading in here is real. The Galleons that people buy/sell with can be traded in to buy House Points by that member.
The Library[/u][/color]
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - SPOILERS!!! - This is where you can discuss the latest book: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Post reviews and talk about what you liked and/or what you didn't like about the book.
Harry Potter and the Grand Finale - This board is for discussing ideas and rumours and venting your frustrations about the last Harry Potter book.
The Restricted Section - This section is for discussing any authors, genres, series - anything that doesn't have anything to do with Harry Potter or Anime.
Sticky Floors and Ten Foot Wizards - Here is where people talk about the Harry Potter films, including news about the upcoming films and reviews on the ones that are out.
The Cinema - Where we discuss any movie that isn't Harry Potter, including reviews and recommendations.
