Magical Abilities Overhaul

We Rise Again

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.

Magical Abilities Have Been Reworked
Find the new list here


  • First and most importantly - You do not have to reapply for abilities you've already been approved for.
  • The following Abilities - Healing, Invisibility, Mind Control, Telekinesis, Chlorokinesis, and Empathy - have been removed.
  • If you had any of those abilities, you no longer have them. They're all perfectly covered by spells/objects that exist within the Harry Potter canon, so by no means do you need them.
  • If you have the ability Speaking To Animals, you are now required to specify a type of animal (such as dogs, cats, goats, birds). I will be PMing all approved Animal Whisperers.


This general overhaul was done to make the abilities system a little easier to understand, as well as remove redundant abilities. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me, or post here for the world to see. I DO NOT FEAR YOUR CRITICISMS. I WELCOME THEM. HA. HA. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Also - for the time being, we will not be accepting any new Legilimens, Occlumens, or Metamorphagi. There are currently too many. After we delete any inactive members, we'll reconsider the ban.

Existing RPs can hopefully be worked around. As I said, the removed abilities were only removed because simple spells can be substituted for them.

Not that I expect you to say, go back and edit your posts. God no. If you were using, for example, Telekinesis in your thread, just imagine that your character was using their wand instead, and going forward, write it that way.

I do however, apologize for any RPs that might've hit a bump due to the change.

D'oh. Yes, it was. It's now a side effect of Leglimency. While former empaths won't be comped with free leglimency, you officially have my permission to be really, really good at figuring out what people are feeling. You know the deal guys, we're not trying to make this less fun for you. We'll be okay if you come up with creative workarounds as long as it isn't basically spitting in our faces.

What if our plotting for our character and their history is directly related to one of the powers?:c
