Overview
Every member starts out as a New Student (Years 1 and 2). You must complete Raising Requirements in order to advance. There is no maximum amount of time required for rank, if you want to get your character to N.E.W.T. level and not advance that’s entirely up to you. Role playing time and real world time are completely different. You could still be finishing up an RP from when your character was a year 1 student, and just starting an RP as a Year 3 student. Once you reach a rank you cannot go back, unless the RP was started before you were raised. You also cannot post as a higher rank than you are until you are officially raised to that rank. I realize that sometimes it may be odd if you have a class mate and you are raised before them, because suddenly they are no longer in your class, being a year below you. Unfortunately it’s difficult to control such things in an RP environment such as this, just try and ignore it, and take things on an rp to rp basis.

This site will also accept fan fiction that is written with your character in mind. See Fanfic rules for more information. Fan fiction will be posted for all to read along with your characters biography, and OWL and NEWT tests when you get to them.

One of the main goals of the Wizarding World RP Community is to encourage writing skills and character development. This is why we require a biography submission and you must spend a certain amount of time in a rank before advancing to the next rank. Working in such a way allows you time to get to know your character, allow it to grow, and your writing skills to grow with it. This also helps prevent people from trying to create invicible characters. You must keep in mind at all times your characters magical abilities based on the year of school they are in. A year one student for example would be unlikely to use something like the cruciatus curse, or brew a polyjuice potion, or for the most part even know about such facets of magic. Even if they are from a wizarding family.
