Dear Students,
I'd like to inform you that four Hogwarts representatives at Northside College Preparatory High School have graciously agreed to act as House Heads for this spring term. They will be running 2 Colloquia, each entitled "Platform 9 3/4, King's Cross Station". There will be an enrollment for the upper school (Juniors and Seniors) and an enrollment for the lower school (Sophomores and Freshmen). A description of the colloquium follows this message. Because Hogwarts is open only to the Wizarding community, students will be pre-registered for this course. We will only be accepting 15 students from each class. The House Heads ask that if you are interested in this colloquium, you submit (in an interesting fashion) your reasons why you should be considered for admission to Northside Hogwarts. Your submission must be brief and submitted via email to this address from your Northside email account. If you choose to send something written, it must be less than 350 words. If you choose to send something visual or audio, it must be enjoyed in 1.5 minutes. Please email your response by Dec 5th.

Platform 9 3/4, King's Cross Station
Spring Colloquium Description, 2007

Convinced you�ve seen a house elf? Have you passed the time in class by mentally sorting your teachers and classmates into houses? Are your pets� names Hedwig, Crookshanks, or Scabbers? If so, then this colloquium is for you! This spring, you can join fellow wizards and witches to experience a semester of all things Hogwarts! We�ll apply magical focus to our Muggle Studies by completing scavenger hunts, developing house pride, helping out future wizards and witches, and preparing for house domination in the Tri-Wizard Tournament.

Pre-requisite: Knowledge of the complete series
Hogwarts Graduation Requirement: Harry Potter service learning project

OMG MUST APPLY. I suppose this also means I'll have to read the last two books. Looks like I have something to do during winter break now. D:

So what should I send them? I'm thinking of doing a celebrity endorsement sort of thing, with quotes from various HP charas saying why I should go. Any other ideas? :D
