- 1st Term-August 21 -December 25, 2007


Total Term House Points


180 Points -- Gryffindor

370 Points -- Ravenclaw

300 Points -- Hufflepuff

310 Points -- Slytherin





"While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your House points, while any rulebreaking will lose House points. At the end of the year, the House with the most points is awarded the House Cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever House becomes yours." -- Minerva McGonagall

At Hogwarts, giant hourglasses set in niches along one wall in a corner of the entrance hall record the points for all to see; Gryffindor's is filled with rubies, Ravenclaw's with sapphires, and Slytherin's with emeralds. Jo didn't specify, but our gemologist looked closely during her last visit and ascertained that the Hufflepuff hourglass fills with rare yellow diamonds.

As a Head of House, prefect or other authorized party speaks the words awarding or deducting points, the appropriate hourglass or hourglasses are automatically updated (PS15, OOP28, OOP3 cool .

There are many ways you will be able to earn points for your house (See the 3rd post in this thread). Please use this thread for suggestions on the topic of the House cup and House points; other suggestions, please use the Comments/Suggestions sticky.
