Thread: Hogwarts House Challenge

May I suggest a new task? Play wizard chess against a member of another house or a teacher

Okay guys I have the go ahead from an Admin to edit my original post. I shall be doing this very shortly!
Some of the challenges I have in mind are . . .

- Talk to Snape/Hagrid/Flitwick/Pomona Sprout
- Fight a dragon and retrieve a golden egg
- Eat Gillyweed and swim to the bottom of a lake
- Navigate through a maze and retrieve the Triwizard Cup
- Jump through platform 9 3/4 and catch the Hogwarts Express
- Play a game of Quidditch against the current leading house.

The Triward tasks will have to be completed in order. Anyone that completes all three will get a huge amount of points. The Quidditch challenge can only be completed once you have done the 'Flying a Broom' task.

That is what I have in mind so far. I will surely add more when I send the final edit to Slash112. I am still unsure about how much points should be awards for each task =/

Why have I been missing this thread? I think I've sexed all the HP characters before, but it would be fun to just play around with spells and play quidditch and such. I've done several things on the list before, but can't remember ever being sorted, that's definitely the first thing I'll do cause I've always wondered which house I would be in.

More tasks:

- find out what your patronus looks like (expecto patronum)
- wizard duel with Voldemort (or other Death Eater)
- visit Honeydukes and sample the special effects sweets
- take a ride on Buckbeak
- brew a potion (polyjuice, veritas serum, felix felicis, etc.) and report on the results

If you want the points in the OP updated, just post what they should be and I'll update them.

Also, "flipendo" is not a real spell, you might want to change that.

Thank you Nina for the suggestions and offering to help with editing.

I have separated the tasks into House Specific and Universal. So hopefully people will be able to see things a little bit better.

Here is the new edit =]

Spoiler for New Edit:

Hogwarts House Challenge!

I have always been deeply interested in the Harry Potter stories and I never really made the connection with Lucid Dreaming until now. Ever since Harry Potter peaked my interest I have always longed for a MMORPG type of game. A game where I could take part in the Wizard universe and experience it first hand. Unfortunately, there is no such game at the moment.

The other day I was having a Lucid Dream, when I stumbled across the Sorting Hat. I cheekily put the thing on my head where it whispered Slytherin into my ear. After that it dawned on me, I could use my Lucid Dreams as a way of indulging into my Harry Potter fantasies!
I have devised a little challenge for myself to learn some of the basics spells, charms and potions from the books. Maybe even fly a broom or two!
Now this is a personal goal for me but I feel like I should share these ideas with you, just in case anyone is interested.

The goal is to complete a set of tasks and earn points for your house!

Get Sorted!

First thing to do is to get sorted into a house. The four houses in Hogwarts consist of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw and Slytherin. First year students are arranged into these houses by wearing the Sorting Hat.

Find the Sorting Hat in your next Lucid Dream and find out what house you are destined to be in. Afterwards post an extract of your dream journal here as evidence of your progress. Please be honest as possible! Whatever the Sorting Hat tells you is FINAL. You cannot swap houses

House Challenges

Once you know which house you belong to you can then proceed to the house challenge! The set of tasks vary depending on which House you are in. Please only complete the challenges within your own house!
Once you have completed the task in your Lucid Dream post an extract of your Dream Journal here on this thread as evidence and I will then add points to the appropriate house! You can complete the tasks more than once but they MUST be in separate dreams in order to count.

You will also need to locate your wand.

I am not expecting anyone to be interested in this AT ALL but if you have any suggestions on other tasks I could add to the challenge then please feel free to say. I will add them accordingly.

GOOD LUCK AND LET THE BEST HOUSE WIN!

No prob. Lemme know whenever you need another update. The tasks look awesome.

Maybe instead of "talk to Hagrid/Professor Sprout/Flitwick/Snape"...you could make it "attend a Care of Magical Creatures/Herbology/Charms/Potions" class for each house respectively? Or they could be separate tasks, and don't forget Transfiguration with Mcgonagall or Divination with Trelawny.

I think will make them separate tasks in the next update. I decided to make them just talking tasks because I want people that are new to Lucid Dreaming to have tasks that are easy to accomplish. I don't want discourage anyone

Thank you for editing the post! It is much appreciated.

I will be doing Hufflepuff tasks tonight with my WILD

I've retrieved the triwizard cup, watched Voldemort in a duel (close), flown on a broomstick, performed Lumos (many times), performed Wingaurdium Leviosa, talked to Hagrid, performed Incendio, I think I've performed Petrificus Totalus, and talked to Snape. That makes 152 points in all (so far)
Gratz to me and good luck with this everybody, it's a lot of fun!

I saw the Sorting Hat on the ground in my living room, Does that count? XD but I didn't pick him up lol.

Do you have a link to these dreams in your dream journal so you can get points? Also, what house are you in?

I will need to see all the dream journal entries. Also none of this will count unless you have been sorted into a house

Unless you was just being sarcastic.

Hey, I've been lurking on these forums for a little bit now, but this thread has inspired me to post. I'll be trying this tonight.

I totally forgot to type up this dream! o_o I will be typing it up tomorrow! I can't believe I forgot about this!

Sorry for the delay :sorry:....HERE IT IS!!!!

After a long period with being sorted as my goal I have finally done it.

Spoiler for Dream:

I was lucid just driving around my dream world in a stolen car. I realize I should do something important. I get out and start looking for the sorting hat. I was asking for it out loud when I hear a shout from behind me as someone is holding it and brings it to me. It looked like a hat for a kids holloween costume. I didn't really expect it to work but I put it on anyway. After a few seconds of silence, I here it ask if I'm ready and it said "3,2,1.. hufflepuff!" That is the last thing I remember. I sorta thought I would be slytherin, but huffle"puff" makes much more sense now that i think about it.

Welcome to Hufflepuff! Glad you finally completed your goal!

I'm totally in I'll try this tonight

As the senior (and only) member of Gryffindor, I just wanted to announce that I will personally train any of my fellow house mates in lucid dreaming, dream control, and whatever else they need help with.


Oh, and I guess if you're not in a house yet or you're in another house, I'll still help, if you ask real nice.


....even if you're from Slytherin. <_<;;

I hope that gives people a little incentive to join us here at Hogwarts.

This is awesome! I have never been able to make up my mind which house I'd be in so maybe a dream can tell me. I'll try to get sorted ASAP. I just broke an annoying dry spell yesterday so hopefully I'm on for tasks!

Woot, good luck fancyrat! I hope you get into my house

By the way I noticed mrdeano hasn't been active lately. Who is going to update all the points? Nina? If she can't I could do it.

I've had a dream goal for a while to have a lucid dream where I shop at Diagon Alley and buy everything a first year student needs, I'm going to try completing it and doings some of the challenges in this thread .
