Hogwarts Clubs & Activities
In the books, it mentions that Hogwarts has clubs that students can join, such as the Charms Club, the Dueling Club, and the Dumbledore's Army club that Harry started. I want to know what clubs you are interested in having here and yes, you can suggest new clubs as well!
For Example:
From The Books Charms Club Dueling Club Gobstones Club
Suggested New Clubs Arts Club (Suggested by Zara Leslie Trudoe) Books Club (Suggested by Scarlet Black) Dance Club Drama Club (Suggested by Damon Darkweather) Exploding Snap Club Junior Ministry Club (Suggested by Professor George Adam Sparewell) Music Club Potions Club (Suggested by Ian Blackthorne) Romance Club (Suggested by Claire DeLour) Wizard Chess Club
Be creative and if you think of any more clubs from the books I forgot, please tell me!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, how does this look so far:
Hogwarts Clubs & Activities
Arts Club Sponsor: POSITION OPEN
Books Club Sponsor: POSITION OPEN
Charms Club Sponsor: Professor Katy J. Salmalin, Charms
Culinary Club Sponsor: POSITION OPEN
Dance Club Sponsor: POSITION OPEN
Defense Against The Dark Arts Club Sponsor: Professor Narcissa Malfoy
Drama Club Sponsor: POSITION OPEN
Dueling Club Sponsor: Professor Hitoshi Kuraimono, Dueling Techniques
Gay/Straight Alliance Club Sponsor: POSITION OPEN
Junior Ministry Club Sponsor: Professor George Adam Sparewell, Magical Government
Music Club Sponsor: Professor Amethyst Wolfe-Martinez, Muggle Studies
Romance Club Sponsor: POSITION OPEN
If you want me to make any changes to it, let me know. Also, in addition to professor sponsors, should there also be sort of a student sponsor - well, what I was thinking was something along the lines of club presidents. So someone could be the "Charms Club President", "Dueling Club President" and so on. Ideas/Suggestions?
EDIT: And I agree with not having a Dumbledore's Army club because 1) Dumbeldore is dead now, 2) it was really only created to make Umbridge mad and she's also gone from Hogwarts, and 3) I agree it would be insulting to Narcissa Malfoy. Although, what about the idea of a 'Defense Against The Dark Arts Club'? It would be similar to the 'Charms Club' and be for those students who are really interested in the subject and want to learn more about it outside of class, as opposed to being behind Narcissa's back lol.

Well let's see. The DA would be a bit redundant and stupid, as well as a possible insult to Professor Malfoy. So we won't be doing that. Hm.......I like the idea of Dance club. sounds like fun, can we do that one?

Might I suggest a Junior Ministry group? And how would the DA be an insult to Professor Malfoy...it was formed to smite Umbridge.... I should know. ;D

I think I see Dove's point. By creating a club to learn Defense, it would be like telling Narcissa that the students don't need her class. Thus, an insult. Am I right?
Otherwise, yes I think clubs and activities would be a wonderful addition to the site! I, of course, support the idea of a Charms Club ;D(for obvious reasons). I also like the idea of Dance club. I think Dove's right, it sounds fun.
If we created clubs, could teachers sponsor them? It sounds a bit silly for the professors to join the clubs, but we could definitely sponsor. It sounds cool to me. What does everyone else think?

I agree with Professor Salmalin: Even in the books certain professors sponsored the clubs: (Ie: Professor Lockhart did the Dueling Club)

I think we should have a Romance club. Ok, don't laugh, the last RPG I was on, this was the most popular club, and probably the most posted in forum. It would be a place to talk about couples at Hogwarts, who your character likes, etc. It keeps it so that if you don't want to read about who likes who, you don't have to because it'll be in a separate forum!

lol. Yes Professor Salmalin, you are correct. Face it guys: How would you feel if we just suddenly decided MAGICAL GOVORNMENT (hint hint, professor sparewel) was totally useless, and kicked you out? I mean, come on! Totally rude and insulting.

I vote for the dance club. Narcissa would enjoy participating there. Maybe for this club there should be 2 sponsors, a boy and a girl. Narcissa is not willing to take the position of the girl/sponsor.
About the DADA club, I do not know. I mean I have Basic DADA and Advanced DADA. There is no further teaching needed. But then again, maybe students can go there and practice the charms. I am sure that would be a good idea. I can sponsor it![/size][/font]

i like the dance club(but if you think about it how would you exactly post??) and i third the romance club...thats would be so awesome....like the club could sponser the (if there is one) valentines dance...(theres another idea) and things like that.......they could pass out candy grams(something my high school did where someone paid like a dollar and filled out a slip of paper and a candy and a note was snet to someone for you on that day...they could be annonomous or signed) i think the romance club could be more than just talk about who likes who.

I really like the music club idea! An arts club would be nice. It could be for any of the arts...

I think the Music Club is a brilliant idea; I'll definitely join.
I have a suggestion for a new club. How about starting a Drama Club for live theater?

Drama Club, eh? Sounds like fun. I'm a real classic theater nut, so it sounds like my kind of thing. If we do that one, I volunteer to sponsor it.

I would TOTALLY join the CHARMS Club; DANCE Club; DRAMA Club; JUNIOR MINISTRY Club; MUSIC Club; &&& ROMANCE CLUB! And maybe we could have a READING & WRITING Club, like those library kids who spend WAAAAY too much time in the library and could go somewhere else for a change. And I like the ARTS Idea, I mean for actually drawing and painting or pottery or something. Something CREATIVE.

*jumps up and down and points finger randomly* Ooo, ooo, ooo, DRAMA CLUB!!!!!!!!! I'm a total dramaqueen in rl and love acting, so I'm SO there!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And I'd like to have some sort of part in the Romance club as well. What sort of positions were we looking at in the clubs? Like, obviously a faculty sponsor, but what about the students? We should decide that here too. Or at least get an idea and let the HM know how the students feel about it, then she can make the final.

there isnt much mention of homosexuality within the harry potter books, but in our times it seems to be a huge issue. i dont know if it fits in exactly within the novels, but we have one at our school called "project ten" its a gay-straight alliance to promote understanding between heterosexuals and homosexuals. just an idea. im not sure it works for this sight though....hmm... i like the idea of the junior ministry though. and maybe a culinary club (the house elves might need help : ] )
