Happy Birthday HE - Challenges, Events and Activities

Hogwarts Experience, A History - Collaborative Fanfiction

This is a special challenge – to fictionalise the history of the Hogwarts Experience in a collaborative fanfiction.

It is not meant to show a true history of HE – the idea is to fictionalise it. For example, if you claim the first prompt ‘before the beginning’, you can write about any nameless pre-Hogwarts student. Or if you were to claim prompt two ‘Meeting of the Minds’, you can create your own founders and not base the characters on the real founder of HE – Elfie.

Your challenge is to create a story banner for the fanfiction. It must be 700x110 in size, and have the title of the fanfiction "Hogwarts Experience, A History" somewhere on it. Pictures should be anything you think suits the theme of the story.

The banners submitted will go up for a vote, and the winning banner will be used for the story. Further graphics challenges for this fanfiction will be posted soon, so keep an eye out.

Happy Birthday Sing-a-Long Challenge

All you have to do is record yourself singing the traditional birthday song (see below). It must only be your voice (not a video clip) as we will hopefully put them altogether at the end of the challenge to make one single song of all voices.
