Harry Potter discussion forum for movies, books, and more! - The Leaky Lounge: Quidditch Season! - Harry Potter discussion forum for movies, books, and more! - The Leaky Lounge

As you know, the Quidditch season is on our doorstep. The first game of the season, Gryffindor versus Slytherin, will take place during the first weekend of November, and three weeks later, Ravenclaw will play against Hufflepuff. Those of you that were lucky enough to make your house team, I do hope you're training hard! And for the rest of us that would tend to do more harm than good on a broomstick, I daresay we're all getting ready to support our favorite team when the time comes! If you agree with that statement, please let your enthusiasm transpire by signing up for our Craft-Along below!

The months of October and November will be aaaaalllll about crafting Quidditch and those boring Muggle sports I don't know the name of (is one of them called how-key or something?). As usual, we'd like you to give us suggestions as to Quidditch Pitch Must-Haves. Also, once you're done, please hop on your broomstick and show off your talent while everyone cheers madly!

Remember that we're awarding MyLeaky points to everyone participating in the CAL:
- 1 MyLeaky point for signing up for a craft-along
- 1 MyLeaky point for every Quidditch Pitch Must-Haves suggestion you make
- 5 MyLeaky points for posting pictures of one finished product
- 10 MyLeaky points for posting pictures of every extra finished product

We know that many of you don't visit the Leaky Lounge daily, preferring to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Livejournal or the Harry Potter Crafts Yahoo group. So rather than asking you to come to us, we're coming to you where you normally follow us.

So, would you prefer to sign up for this Craft-Along on Livejournal insead? Share your newly sewn Quidditch robes by posting them in an album over at the Harry Potter Crafts Yahoo group? Ask your questions on Twitter? Well, you can just do so. We'll keep an eye on everything and share what you've made back in the Leaky Lounge threads for you. And if you add your MyLeaky username in your posts or picture descriptions, you'll still earn MyLeaky points! So get going!

>.< yyyaaaaay can't wait!

With a username like that, how can you possibly not join in the fun!

I sign up for the craft along! I'm sure i can fit Beater Practise around crafting!

I sign up too!

I can't wait to make some quidditch-y things.

Yayy! I'm glad to see all of those people signing up! I'm not sure if I'll have to make something too, but if I do, it'll probably be something quick and simple along the lines of my Golden Snitch Christmas ball... Or, if I can manage to find the plastic thingy you stick in windows, I'm definitely making this, though I will take it off every time I enter a store. I've heard many stories about snitch antenna toppers getting stolen!

I suppose I will participate this time. . . Now the question is what to make. I have a question. Can we do something related to the events of the Quidditch World Cup from The Goblet of Fire like a Death Eater Mask or something that could be associated with that, but isn't necessarily a normal Quidditch thing OR should it just be what you would expect to see at a normal Quidditch game.

I'd say it would have to be related to either the game of Quidditch (whether at Hogwarts or in international leagues) or to cheering your favourite team from the bleachers. However, we're awarding points if you participate in our old craft alongs, and I'm pretty sure you could make your death eather mask fit in one of ours old themes. You can post the finished product in the "Late for class" thread in this section.

It's waaaaayyyy too quiet in here!! Anyone making something??

I'm personally waiting on Chocolateisnotforbreakfast to send me the supplies to make the snitch crashing in the car window I posted earlier. She had extras, so she agreed to mail them to me! Isn't she awesome!!

i'll sign up i think i'll just make a few things to boost up Ravenclaws spirits, we're doing so well i'd hate for them to start losing
