Welcome to Potter’s Army

Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

What is Magichat?

Short answer: It's a magical instant messaging system.

Long answer: Originally developed by Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes as a way to discreetly pass notes in class, MagiChat became an overnight phenomenon when students recognized it as a way to keep in touch. MagiChat works by magically linking two MagiChat notebooks. When one student writes in their notebook, it also appears in their friend's. While limited range and linking issues prevent it from replacing Owl Post as the wizarding communication method, MagiChat is without a doubt the hot new thing.

How Do I Use MagiChat?

Easy! Simply click the link below!

MagiChat

The link takes you to a TitanPad, which allows multiple users to log on and edit a cooperative document. Simply get on the TitanPad with the person you want to chat with, and create a message log in real time on the pad. Once you're done, post it in the MagiChat section, and delete it from the log.

What does a MagiChat log look like?

Great question! Here's an example of a brief log between Keith and a non-existant character named Christopher.

-- KEITH NICHOLAS [KN] began messaging CHRISTOPHER DANIELS [CD] --

KN: Yo Chris
CD: Hey Keith
KN: Did we have transfiguration homework tonight?
CD: Were you not paying attention in class again?
KN: Nope
CD: Alright. We had the next ten pages of reading in the book and then practicing on those cushions.
KN: Aaaaagh I hate those cushions.
CD: Yeah but if you don't figure out how to turn it into a frog she'll fail you.
KN: She's already failing me. But whatever. Thanks.
CD: No problem. See you in class tomorrow.
KN: See you.

-- KEITH NICHOLAS [KN] stopped messaging CHRISTOPHER DANIELS [CD] --

Make sense? If not, feel free to message me with questions, and I'll put them on here as part of a FAQ.

Enjoy!

Well it's fixed now. And it's some notepad thing. Could be potentially not boring...
