Sign up here to get involved, and send some love around this Valentines Day! This is such a wonderful event and I encourage you all to participate so that you receive some warm fuzzies
Shopping Update
Again?! Nick is cray with these updates right now. As Nick has said: "It's now possible to track down what shop you'll need to buy your items in by using the item search feature at the top of any forum that has shop subforums in it." with his example http://hogwarts.nz/forum/3007169/.
If you've missed the announcement, here it is.
Netiquette
Just a friendly reminder about our first rule here on HNZ: Be respectful to all other members of this site; personal attacks will not be tolerated. We have Netiquette guidelines to keep this place a friendly and supportive place for everyone. We're all here because we love Harry Potter and writing, we just need to remember that it is not real, but the people behind the characters are. Peace and love ​
