Points: Participation Only: 10pts
Deadline: Sunday, June 30th @ 21:59 UTC (timezone converter).
Details: Now that you've potted the Mandrake, it cannot take much longer until it starts to scream.

You'll get one point per correctly guessed anagram, with a maximum of ten. Bonus points will equal your earned points!

Points: 10 points participation only
Deadline: June 30, 19:00 UTC (3 PM Eastern Time)
Details: Create your own Chamber of Secrets!

Salazar Slytherin created his own personal chamber deep within the walls of Hogwarts, a chamber so secretive that even his fellow founders had no idea that it existed. What might you create, if you had your own secret Hogwarts room?

You can choose to write a paragraph of at least 100 words explaining what your Chamber of Secrets might look like (and what you might do within its confines), or create a graphic that depicts your room (it can be as simple as a Photoshopped collection of furniture, or a doodle with some basic design). Have fun with it!

Get in on the secret: Join Owl Post Secret Club today to earn bonus points! Important note: Several of you have had items expire since the last activity, so be sure to double check your stock if you want to earn full bonus points! Just comment in the appropriate thread over in the application post to make any updates to your items.
