Hogwarts Clubs



Hi there everyone :) So a while ago Alyssa made a blog about what we would like at Hogwarts to make it better, and I suggested more clubs to get characters involved and meeting up more. Bond suggested that I created some myself, I made a page on my sandbox, but I kind of forgot about the idea for a while/didn't know how to approach it/thought nobody would be interested anyway. However...I finally decided to revisit the idea and basically just have a few questions to ask.

I'd love it if you could comment with other ideas on clubs or how I might run them or if you have any characters that might be interested in them or whatever, that would be awesome. Personally I'm interested in it and keen to do something along these lines, I just don't know how to get them set up or how they'd work in roleplay, but I'm going to give it a go :)

One thing I need to mention is that if I do decide to go through with any of these, it would be started until next IC year I think, just because there might not be time left in this one and it makes more sense that way.

So, firstly, do you even want clubs at Hogwarts at all? Yeah, I think it would be a great way for my characters to meet new people Well, I think the idea is okay, but I don't personally have any characters that would be interested I'm curious, but not overly excited I don't know if they're really needed, I think they'll quickly fade out and be a waste of time Other

A Muggle Sports Club
Where It Would Be: Anywhere outside, like the The Quad maybe, I'm not sure yet. I also though that once a month (or less regularly as an end of year trip or something?) they might have a trip into Hogsmeade and have a go at bowling.

Who It Might Interest: Anyone who likes sports, but doesn't want to do Quidditch. Since it'll be Kimi running it I also think she'd try to make it a place where anyone can just come along and have a bit of fun since she'd want to include as many people as possible.

What They Would Do/How It Would Work: They'd practice muggle sports, such as football, netball...anything you could think of really (that there would be space and equipment for). I'm not sure how it would run, if they'd have actual games or just play around a bit. I really don't know. So, what do you think? Yeah! I love this! Well, I guess it'll appeal to some people, but not me No...I don't see this working, sorry

A Drama/Theatre Club
Where It Would Be: I have absolutely no idea for that one, sorry.

Who It Might Interest: Again, if this went through and I was running it then Kimi would be the one in charge, but shed try to get as many people as possible involved. It might be a good chance to get all of the musical students involved in something. But also actors, singers, dancers, writers, stage-crew, and arty students to help make a props and costumes. So hopefully lots of people would be interested :D

What They Would Do/How It Would Work: Okay, so...I haven't really had chance to think about this, but I thought that it would be cool to have a sort of mini-Hogwarts expansion and for them all to put on a school play. I'm sure that many of you users will have done school productions and it's weird that Hogwarts never has. So...it'd take a lot of planning and thinking, but that's kind of the goal with his one; to create a play somehow and maybe invite parents to watch it at the end of the year. It's a bigger idea than the rest of these clubs, but maybe it would be interesting. What do you think then? :D YAS! This is awesome! Hmm...I dunno, sounds complicated and too different, too much of a challenge to pull off Yeah, it's okay. None of my characters would do it, but I don't object. Sorry, but no...discard this idea, it's way too hard.

A Book Club
Where It Would Be: The library most probably, or an empty classroom somewhere.

Who It Might Interest: I really thought that this would be a good idea to get all of the bookworks together and actually talking to people for once, maybe? No?

What They Would Do/How It Would Work: I'm not sure. I thought people would like this idea, but on the polls on my sandbox nobody seemed to like it that much. All I can think is that they'd meet up and talk about books xD I agree that it's a little boring and needs something extra, but I can't think what that something is, so I thought I'd ask you :P Be honest, is this an idea worth pursuing? Sigh, honestly...sorry but no I don't know, it's got potential I guess Yeah, don't give up! I can see it working.

Newspaper Club
When I did the poll on my sandbox, this result got the highest..the trouble is that I don't have a clue how to make it work. So I really need your help :D I don't even know what to write about it to be honest because I'm just not sure how to approach the idea. Even with my lack of information, does this sound interesting? Yeah, super interesting! I don't have anyone who would take part, but I love the idea of having a newspaper going around Hogwarts I don't think you'll get it to work, sorry. Nah, it's not needed Other

So...the verdict
If you had to pick one of these ideas, which would you want me to concentrate more on? The sports club sounds cool! I really want Hogwarts to put on a school play! A like the idea of a book club. The newspaper seems really intriguing

So, thank you so much if you took the time to answer all of these! It'll really help me a lot! Please comment bellow if you have any questions - or even answers to my own quetions :P Thanks again
