Opening Weekend

Here, witches and wizards, is your first UNOFFICIAL House Points Update. (The official points updates will not occur until the end of each month, when the professors post them -- at which point we will also report them and mark them as official. Please keep in mind that all unofficial points updates posted here by the Reporting Staff are our best approximation of both regular class points and OWLs points via our own record keeping and there may be discrepancies between our tallies and the official tallies, which will be remedied upon the release of the official tallies.)

GRYFFINDOR: 140

HUFFLEPUFF: 165

RAVENCLAW: 280

SLYTHERIN: 255
