hh_clubs | The Animagus Club

As the Animagus Board is slowly making progress working its way through the current applications, I think it's time to announce a new rule:

Before you apply to become an animagus, you have to buy the first 5 books of the Standard Book of Spells Series at hh_diagon.

Why? Well, becoming an animagus is *difficult*. Not just any first year student can become one. The books symbolize the years you spend at Hogwarts and having 5 of them means you're a 5th year student (in this club) and able to become an animagus.

So, off you go, earn knuts, buy the books, then apply!

Please fill out the application using the code below and add at the end =)

Please comment below (in screened comments) with your application, and we will get back to you within a few days. Please be detailed in your application. Same goes for this one as the one for

platform_934: explain your answers. We have millions of animals to pick from, not just 4 houses, so help us out a little by giving a detailed application. Thank you!

Comments? Questions? Just leave a comment below :)

Please give an accurate description of your appearance; pictures are welcome! tall (1 meter 90 centimeters, which should be about 6’4”), heavy-built (around 105 kg/210 lbs.), dark haired (brown), with beard (which funnily is mainly of red colour), I usually wear glasses (if I’m not at home or in costume), I have some freckles on my nose, and a nice collection of scars all over my body (from several occasions, the last being a fall onto my right knee, when I hunted and missed a bus…). My clothes are usually a shirt or sweater and jeans. I like costumes though and have several of them for conventions and Halloween…

What are your favorite hobbies and extracurricular activities? Movies (mostly on video or DVD, since cinema has become quite expensive over the last years), books (adventure, fantasy, science fiction and crime), RPGs (7th Sea, Robotech II: The Sentinels, The Dark Eye, Mutant Chronicles, Marvel Superheroes and many more), history and wildlife documentaries (Especially the history ones. We have some quite good shows with re-enactments in them here in Germany), fencing (I learned to fight with epee, rapier, sword and broad sword, and even though I had little training and practice lately, I appreciate every opportunity) …
Are there any animals that you feel drawn to or a connection with? Day geckos of the phelsuma family and poisonous dart frogs (esp. Phyllobates vittatus). I had both animal types in a vivarium, they were really fun to watch. The frogs (above named species) were hunting on the ground and around the small “river” I built for them, while the phelsuma (a pair of phelsuma laticauda laticauda) were waiting for the escaping flys to crawl into the upper parts of the habitat. Watching the animals was real fun, their hunting strategies, their mating rituals, when they simply enjoyed the artificial sun or took a bath in the tiny river. I’d like to reactivate my vivarium, but it’s much too expensive at the moment, and beside of that, my girlfriend is afraid of reptiles…
Are there any animals you are afraid of? I have a heavy though not severe phobia of dogs. It dates back to my early childhood when I was almost bitten by a big German shepherd. Nothing serious, but when you’re age two or three, it’s quite traumatic…
Why would you like to be an animagus? Well, I think it would be a very interesting experience to become an animal and see the world with its eyes. To hunt prey or flee from predators, to live the easy and yet dangerous life in the wild, how fascinating and educating this would be! I think, there would be no better way to learn the last secrets of nature, to feel the real world and not only the artificial one we created for us…

I bought the books, though the knuts were not yet taken from my vault... I hope that's no major problem...
