Welcome to Charms 101!

UPDATES (effective Dec. 5, 2024): 1. Lesson One has had a slight rewrite. // 2. The Introduction/Journal assignment has been changed to "My Magical Debut"; due to this change, the assignment will be retakeable until Jan. 31. // 3. A new assignment, "What’s in the Box?", has been added to Lesson One (to pair with the new RP elements in the Lesson One rewrite!). // 4. All journal assignments have been removed; these will be replaced with new assignments in the future.
Please contact Professor Laurel with any questions or concerns regarding these changes.

Please read the following FAQs before joining the class:

Where do I find assignments/lessons/PAs?
Assignments, Lessons, and PAs are found on the right-hand side (computer) or the bottom (mobile) of each lesson, in the small box. Here are video tutorials for computer and mobile if you cannot find it. All quizzes and tests are mandatory to complete your current year and to advance to the next year, but essays may not be. Assignments labeled “Extra Credit” in your gradebook are not required to move on to Charms 201.

When will my assignment be graded?
Charms receives a high volume of assignments submitted each day, and our team is composed entirely of volunteers with real-world obligations. We will not prioritize your assignment over anyone elses. I ask that you be understanding and patient.
If you look in your gradebook, you will be able to see where your assignment is in the grading queue. If you notice that your assignment has not moved at all in the queue after a week, then you may message Professor Laurel or the Head Student, Britini, to look into the issue.  

What do I do if I have a question about an assignment?
Please feel free to reach out to any of our PAs with your questions! Just remember: 1. PAs will never give you the answer to a question. They are here to assist you in completing your work; not to do your work for you. 2. If you have any questions or need help, it is always best to ask before you submit your assignment! Keep in mind: Blank answers are an automatic zero; it is better to always try your best!
If you have a question about an assignment that has already been submitted, please send a private owl directly to either the Head Student, Britini, or to Professor Laurel along with your Grade ID for the assignment (this can be found in your gradebook). 

If you have any other questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out to Professor Laurel or the Head Student, Britini!

Year One of Charms presents an overview of the basics of spellcasting. Beginning with essential wizarding laws and touching briefly upon wandlore, we then discuss the components that are present within spells. Along the way you’ll learn of and practice the basic spells that all beginning witches and wizards should know. We’ll explore how such basic spells as the Severing Charm, the Levitation Charm and the Sunlight Charm demonstrate these fundamental aspects of spellcasting.
