Mylian was recently sorted into Ravenclaw, which means he's one of the newer members in the guild. That didn't stop him from quickly familiarizing himself with the Heard it in the Hallway and Around Hogwarts subforum. Mylian is proving to be not only an avid poster, but also a dependable/consistent voice in HPGoG! His eagerness and quick adjustment to the guild didn't go unnoticed. Although he's the Mod Squad's choice for Member of the Month now, they're convinced they'll be seeing good things from Mylian for terms to come! Too bad there's no classes!
Read below to find out more about him! *´¨)

Magic and not so... Puffskein
Remember the adorable Pygmy Puffs ?
They're fluffy cuteness made them a very popular pets for girls.
They come in all sorts of colours and are easy to handle.
Did you know they come from the common Puffskein.
That in their time too was a popular pet!
Rated XX by the ministry of magic they can be found in most old houses or our yards.
Just like the Pygmy Puffs they are covered in soft fur, but unlike the Pygmys the puffs only come in custard yellow.
Puffskeins are easy to care about, since they mostly eat spiders and other small creatures. They also do you a favor by eating your buggers as you sleep!
They loved being cuddled and make a relaxing humming sound when they are happy.
Puffskins are still available to buy in your nearest pet store smile
Be careful not to confuse the pet Puffskeins with the wild fanged one!

5 Stardust Disaster ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘ Viral HP
Harry Potter is popular everywhere, but the best place to find fun, information, or friends relating the series is of course the internet. Here are a few viral activites you can check out yourself.
PottermoreOn June 14th Harry Potter fan sites began to post coordinates that when entered in to a special version of google maps would lead to a location where a magical letter stood. By the 16th all the coordinates were posted and all ten letters revealed. Mixed around, these letters spelled one thing: Pottermore. After anxious waiting from fans everywhere, on June 23rd JK Rowling finally announced the idea behind the name. You can see the announcement here.And sign up to be informed about Pottermore here.You can also watch a Press Conference about it here. (Or read the transcript here)
Final Deathly Hallows Part II Trailer
It's July and we all know that means that the final Harry Potter movie will soon be in theaters. The excitement is building and nothing could make us freak out more than a new trailer with never before seen footage of the upcoming movie! Spoiler haters be warned and book fanatics be prepared. Click here to watch the final trailer to what will sure be the most epic finale of all time.
Harry Potter Dress Up Games
Many of you may have wondered what you would look like standing in your house common room or right in front of the Quidditch pitch (but never had the artistic abilities to draw it up yourself). Well with this dress up game you can easily pull you (or one of your friends) in to a 2D version of the school we all love. Be sure to read the description to find a few helpful hints! Unfortunately that version only includes female dolls. If you'd rather dress up Harry Draco or Ron, this would be better suited for you. Alternatively, here is one just for dressing up the guys. Have fun!

HouseElf Corner Unfortually we still don't have an elf working in the HM!
There's been a mass sorting so we can welcome a lot of new students, not only does this mean we get a whole lot more of students to battle for the house cup.
But this also mean the Quidditch Event will be huge!
There are still no available classes for elfs, but maybe soon.
Rumours:
The mod squad reminisce about people moving on, but on the bright side this means new blood and new directions!
Dear Madame Lavande Is looking for help! Head over to the hospital wing to get a chance to work there.

11 The Editor ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘ Babbling Beverage! So Im finally done. Damn..
Did my best not to cuss to much biggrin
Didn't turn out as I wanted too. But pretty much ok.
Waiting for the special announcements.
So much to do and at the same time nothing to do.
Dosen't that happend to everyone?
It's been a pretty good month though. Graduated, made test, apointments, CT-scans.
Just have to stay positive..
Also.. If you have anyone you care about try to pet them like you would a cat or a dog. It's surpricingly nice when you get over the whole "this is insanly awkward" phase.
So about HM..
Thinking of changing it up a bit. I would want to write a short story of some sorts, who knows..who knows..
Hope this issue didn't suck to bad., Cheersp.s Thank for everyone showing an interest to join the HM!
