Hi everyone!
31st July is the birthday of one of the most famous and beloved fantasy characters- you guessed it right, it's none other than The Boy Who Lived!



In celebration of Harry's birthday, we have a fun challenge for you! (Let's participate for Harry, okay? The poor boy didn't celebrate for ten years.)
The challenge would run from 5th August to 25th August.

There would be three parts to this challenge-
1. House- based prompts
2. Notable characters based prompts
3. Spell- it-out challenge


PART 1: HOUSE-BASED PROMPTS
Participants would be sorted into four teams, where each team would be one Hogwarts House. Whichever team you're on, you have to do the prompts for that team.
When you sign up for the challenge, mention two preferences for the House teams. We would try to place you in your first preference, but in case there is an imbalance in the number of members in the teams, we'll place you in your second preference team.

The following are the prompts for the Houses:
