Potterfest Day 6 - How To Be Hermione Granger

Hello students! Today's Potterfest post is sort of a life post, to help you students enhance your life. We all want to be Hermione Granger. Don't lie, we ALL wanna be Hermione Granger. So here are some full proof ways to become Hermione Granger.


1) Don't care about what other people think of you.

Sassy Hermione Granger may have started out being a bit self conscious, but as the books went on, she couldn't care less about what her peers thought of her.

Do things that make you happy, be someone that you want and if someone doesn't like the way you are, ditch 'em, they aren't worth your time. Hermione was called a know-it-all, but that did not stop her from answering questions in class, getting good grades, or doing other things that contributed to people calling her a "know-it-all". You shouldn't stop doing things you like if someone else is teasing you about it. In fact, you should do those things even more, just to rub it in their faces a bit.

2) Be logical and try to approach things in a mature way.

Hermione always does things maturely, and whenever she has to tackle a difficult problem, she does things logically, and never takes a shot in the dark. 

We can all get immature sometimes, even Hermione does. But when things need to be taken seriously, it's important that you work your hardest on them, and really think deeply, like Hermione always does. And try not to mess around when you're not supposed to. You're Hermione Granger, and Hermione Granger does not mess around.

3) Always be there for your friends.

No matter what they said or did, Hermione was always there for her friends in their time of need. That's the kind of attitude everyone needs to have. Your friends are your friends, and if they are really your friends, then they don't really mean the mean things that they say.

Stick up for them, or defend them against dragons or mountain trolls, your pick. 

4) Believe in yourself.

Hermione always believed in herself, and the one of the many reasons why she was beautiful was because she knew it. You have to know that you can do something, know that you're beautiful. Because only then will you truly be beautiful. Beauty doesn't come from someone else's compliments, it comes from your compliments to yourself. 

5) Be awesome.

Because you're Hermione Granger and you're amazing. 

How does it feel to be Hermione Granger? Pretty great huh. So for 5 points to your House, tell me in the comments: Besides Hermione, if you could be anyone from Harry Potter, who would it be?

Let me know your House as well so I can award you the points!

Sadly, there's only two posts left of Potterfest BUT, they're extra exciting so woohoo!

By the way, Ravenclaw is still in the lead.

Potterfest Day 3 - Triwizard Tournament

Hello students! Today in Potterfest, you will be competing in our own little school Triwizard Tournament!

Basically, you will be entering a maze. And in the maze you will come across riddles, and turns, and questions. At these stopping points will be two links, one paired with an answer, that decided which way to go. Click on the link of your answer and read what's written on the page and follow the instruction. Do NOT lie and look at both pages. Good luck! If you reach the finish, comment the answer to the last question in the comments. Remember, there will be tricks along the way, so use your skills! BEGIN!


As you walk down the long, dark depths of the maze, you stop at a fork. The first challenge of the road. You can take right or left. You feel warmth coming from the left and the smell of the ocean coming from the South. Which route do you take?

Left     Right

You keep going, either happy from your new riches or disappointed from your loss. Nonetheless, you keep walking. Suddenly, you come across a paper on the ground. It reads: To pass this barrier you must answer this simple question: What is greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it, you'll die? You think of your answer and think it in your brain. There comes another fork in the road. Choose a pathway. 

Left    Right 

You come out. But out comes a dragon, swooping down. If you still have your wand,  you shoot it with a blast of flames. If you do not have your wand, you have been shot with a blast of fire, and you jet up in flames. Another choice has appeared. You can either choose to hit the portkey on the left or the portal on the right. 

Left   Right

You tread carefully, as you can hear yells coming from the distance. Soon you are faced with 2 large mountain trolls, making their way near you. You:

Attack them, like Harry Potter did      Try to sneak around them stealthily.


As you come back sweating from your fight, you decide to take a break and sit down. But as you do, you feel the hedge sucking you in, what do you do?

Shoot a flame at it          Don't do anything


When you escape, you see the Cup glowing in the distance. You laugh and run but there's an invisible barrier in the way. There's another piece of parchment lying on the ground. Because I Ronald Weasley have developed this glorious maze, it is only natural that I would have added a question concerning yours truly. When is my birthday? (you may look this up)

March 1st no the link isn't broken               November 24th 


In addition to clicking the links, you must comment your answer below to win the 100 points! Don't forget to comment your house as well!


Good luck! Ravenclaw is still in the lead as of yesterday's challenge.

Potterfest Day 2 - History of Magic

Hello students! Welcome to Day 2 of our lovely Potterfest! Today's class will be History of Magic. No no, don't groan, I gave old Binns the day off and you have a guest professor, a young girl from my very own novel: Professor Kristin Jahames!

The wonderful Professor Jahames has managed to track down one of the Wizarding World's most famous heroes, HARRY POTTER! The honorable Mr.Potter agreed to come up today and allow you to ask him some questions. So I'll hand it over to Professor Jahames. (Whenever I need to make an interruption I'll say it in italics.)


Erm, you can just call me Kristin. Or Kris, if you'd like. Professor Kris. Yeah, yeah, Professor alright whatever.

I don't really do magic, I come from a realistic fiction novel you see but I have read Harry Potter so um. Presenting Mr. Harry Potter! Why did I choose you, Laila would have done a much better job. Shush, I'm doin good.

H: Ah yes, hello young students of Hogwarts, tis I.

K: Welcome back to Hogwarts Mr. Potter sir! I'm trying to hold in my fangirl ahah.

H: Yes it's great to be back. So Ms. Kristin Jahames, you have some questions for me perhaps? I always love to inform young students on the terror of Lord Voldemort, and how he may return one day. Beware children.

K: Ah yes Mr. Potter, but alas I do not wish to scare the students. We do have questions for you though. I'll begin, I suppose. They all seem a tad bit too shy. Well, I shall ask the question that we have all been wondering. What is it like to be the biggest name in the book world? As a part of a book that has not yet been published... Don't look so disappointed! I'm still working you.

H: *laughs* Well, since I was young I've learned not to let the pain.. er fame get to my head. It feels normal, except for the fact that I get hoarded constantly on the streets.

K: That sounds wonderful! How I long to live your life... we still got a long way to go.. *grumbles* Anyway, what's up with Ron and Hermione these days? Haven't heard from them since they went to receive their official branding on the chocolate frog cards!

H: Oh busy away! Both working, harder than ever! Hermione has been busy with all these interviews, and of course, writing her book on her account of the Second War. Ron on the other hand, drowning in fame, in the good way of course. He's living the life!

K: Typical of Ron and Hermione! But good for them nonetheless. What tips do you have for these new students? I'm sure they'd love a piece of advice from good ol' Harry.

H: Study, follow your dreams, don't let bullies get to you and: Stay alive. And don't do anything stupid. And don't try to do anything I did, it was pure luck.

K: I'm sure it wasn't all luck, you're an extraordinary wizard! All the feats! You have a First Class Order of Merlin! Surely, that's not luck!

H: Maybe not, but I always had help from my friends. Oh, of course, another tip, stick together.

H: Well, I must be going now but er, if you have any questions young ones, send me an owl, or a comment down below.

K: That's all for me, I do say that went well. Yeah yeah, get back in the book.  You better finish me at some point.


Thanks Kristin and Mr. Potter for joining us! If you have any questions for Harry, leave them down below. I'll send over an owl and reply to you with his answer! 5 points awarded for each question asked.

LET ME KNOW WHAT HOUSE YOU ARE IN IN YOUR COMMENT OR NO POINTS ARE AWARDED!

HOUSE RANKINGS: Ravenclaw in first, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff tied for second, and Slytherin in third! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
