Interview with a Ravenclaw:
Hey witches and wizards! Today, i have bought here with us a Ravenclaw, who is one of the most well-known people on HiH. Any guesses?? Yes! Today, I have brought… Ellie Smith and I am going to be interviewing her about HiH as a whole!
Angelica: When did you join HiH and what made you join HiH? Did someone recommend it?
Ellie: I joined HiH at the start of April, which was the start of quarantine for me. I saw an article about it on my 'recommended' google page, and after looking into it further, I signed up straight away.
Angelica: What was it like to get 100 followers?
Ellie: It was really great getting 100 followers, as I was so happy that I had made so many new amazing friends on HiH.
Angelica: How do you juggle so many jobs from being Admin of Diagon Alley & Hogsmeade, one of the organiser in Triwizard Tournaments Head of MACUSA and what not??
Ellie: Due to quarantine, I had a lot of time on my hands, and I really enjoy organizing things, so I guess I saved lots of time for that. Additionally, I have had the help from loads of amazing people, and I would not have been able to do any of this without them.
Angelica: Do you do lessons? If yes, then what is your most liked and disliked subject in it and why? If no, then why do you not do?
Ellie: Yes! I take the HiH Courses, and really enjoy it. To be honest, I enjoy all the courses available, but my absolute favourites are Charms, Transfiguration, and Potions. I don't really have a disliked subject, as I find all the lessons extremely interesting and fun.
Angelica: What is your fav part in HiH and why??
Ellie: That is a tough question! It would probably have to be the social aspects of it, in terms of being able to converse with other members from all around the world, and make amazing friendships.
Angelica: What part of HiH do you least like and why??
Ellie: I really don't have a least favourite part of HiH, as the whole website is absolutely amazing, and has really helped me with boredom during quarantine, as well as it being a great way for me to explore other Harry Potter Fandom sites.
Angelica: If you could, what would you improve in HiH??
Ellie: I'm really don’t know! Maybe there could be categories for groups, to make it easier to find the group that you are looking for. Such as categories like Study Groups, Chat Groups, Roleplays, Fandom Groups, and etc.
Angelica: Which Group and Roleplay do you like the best and why???
Ellie: That is also a very hard question, but I would have to say the Ravenclaw Common Room. It is an incredible place for Ravenclaw members to come together to discuss things, roleplay, ask questions, and just have so much fun!!
Angelica: Thx so much Ellie for taking out time to be interviewed by me!!
Ellie: No problem!
And that concludes our interview with our Ravenclaw, Ellie Smith who is so well know here! Hope you all enjoyed it!

The Great Lake
The Great Lake at Hogwarts has many creatures in it and they are all very different. If a muggle naturist saw the lake, he or she would jump with glee. That is, if the creatures don't attack them first. One of the many creatures in the lake are vicious little water demons called grindylows. In muggle cartoons, merpeople are shown as beautiful, kind creatures. In the muggle world, children wish they could be mermaids. Not in the wizarding world though. In the wizarding world mermaids are ugly monster looking things. When mermaids sing you can only hear what they're saying in their songs when underwater. If you aren't underwater while a mermaid is singing, all you will hear is screeching. One of the biggest creatures in the lake is the giant squid. The giant squid is semi-domesticated and lets students tickle its tentacles on sunny days when it is near shore.
When the famous Harry Potter was in the Triwizard Tournament, one of the three tasks took place in the great lake. The Triwizard Tournament doesn't happen often so if the great lake was included it must be a pretty important feature of Hogwarts grounds.

Fun Fact
It’s time for your fun fact! Today’s is quite funny! Did you know that in Harry’s first year, when Fred and George enchanted some snowballs to hit Quirrell’s turban, they were actually hitting Voldemort in the face (since Voldemort was on the back of Quirrell's head)?! Funny, right!? We’d all love to see Voldemort get whacked with some snowballs.
