Was down for a bit, but is now open for students to join. Staff positions are already full, but that only means when there are enough students for term to begin, people can start class right away. This is a very fun community for all ages. It comes with it's own website and forum. So come check it out, we really could use some more students. There is a place for Harry Potter discussion of course.

1) First impression
Sparkly...Not always a bad thing, and this is quite striking, but could do with some glossing up. I think it should also say RPG somewhere very clearly, as the opening intro could mislead people into thinking it's a Fan Fiction site. I really like the 'Chamber of Secrets has been opened' thing, that grabs the viewers attention perfectly.
2) Content
In the Chamber of Secrets there's loads of great stuff. Clicking through all the various links, Azkaban Basilisks Lair Knockturn Alley...etc, i come across lots of great content which has been provided painstakingly. There's a good deal of interactivity as well, and i like all the Shrieking Shack and Riddle's Diary. Alot of the site and forum is inaccessible if you are not registered, and the Sorting Hat is closed at the time, so i have not seen the content on the forums. In other places there is a load of FanFics in the library and various other interactive bits and pieces in Hogsmeade and the Houses.
3) Organisation
It is quite poorly organised too be honest. This is from a total laymans point of view but when i arrived at the site, i didn't know immediately where the forums were or where the content was. When you lable things as ambigiously as you have done, you have to be prepared for people to be misled. Great Hall=Home, Library=FanFics, Basilisk's Lair=Theories...etc. I need to know before i click the link where i am going. The drop down menus at the top are nice but there are alot of broken links, and stuff that is unnecessary. Cut that down to only the vitals and working links, and it will be much tidier.
4) Skin/Layout
The layout is nice. It could be more original and a bit more professional, but for all intensive purposes it works. I didn't get a chance to actually have a look at the forum skin, but the style of the layout is much more suited to a forum skin, so hopefully you kept the same style.
5) USP, Unique "Selling" Point
I think this is a fairly unique RPG in that you can really explore the site, without having even looked at the forum! There is plenty of content here, and alot of stuff that is really interesting. I would add some more stuff like the Azkaban Prison, and the Borgin and Burkes...etc, because that gives it a very unique point of view. Try to stear clear of the MNI stereotyping and keep things clear and fresh, especially within the RPG.
6) Reviewer Comments
This is very much a concept site. There is alot of terrific stuff, but this is confused by some messy organisation. Also there is an annoying pop up that appears for a topsites list on almost every page. I recommend working through systematically and arranging it so it's dead easy for a viewer to find anything they want immediately. Other than that you have a lot of great promise, and the RPG section is something you should definately big up as it is effectively the fundamental instrument for your site.
