Hi all! Please use this thread to discuss your strategies for the challenge located at this thread: Group Activity - HA Challenge - Guest Lecturers

Meet Madam Gigi Bio: An Auror, has worked side by side with Harry Potter.

Background in Her Words: "I have lived long enough to know I need to do right by me."

Extra Background: She is an Auror. She lived a life of perfection and then settled down living the "Stay and home Mother/Wife" life, anything but perfection. She felt that she was needed to pick up her life again and do something great given he abilities. Performing top of her class in everything and never doing anything non-noble, she see it fit to do just that.

Here are my ideas for different kinds of guest lecturers.

• Ministry of Magic: Auror
• Wizarding publications: The Daily Prophet, The Quibbler, Witch Weekly
• Artisans: Wandmaker, Broom-maker
• Gringotts: Curse-Breaker
• Magical creatures: Dragonologist

• I want to clarify that HAs that show other ideas are fine too!

• Guest lecturers should be people who would have unique presentations from Hogwarts professors imo. For example, it would be redundant to invite a Potioneer to lecture when there's already a Potions Master.

Here are some examples of guest lecturers: Guest Lecture - Healing Magic (MTC) Guest Lecture - Entrepreneurship (MTC) Guest Lecture - Art Guest Lecture - Ghoul Studies (MTC)

What does Madam Gigi do? c:

Ministry of Magic: Auror. Also updated her infor some more.

It's great, but we can only submit one sentence backgrounds with each avatar. Would you mind layering her nose over her base too? Does she have a surname?

Seth (Set) Altair Mahoney

Bio: Former apprentice of Ollivander, Wandmaker.

Timaeus Balthazar Jones

Bio: Hit Wizard of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad.

Dean Hamon Engel

Bio: Head of Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Beast Divison.

Food for thought: HAs submitted for this activity will be used to accompany guest lectures that take place in Hogwarts classrooms. :)

Talfryn Brimble(?) Dragonologist, in charge of care and monitoring of hatchlings.

I just grabbed names at random from a BBC character actor list, so any better name ideas would be most welcome. Another idea, replace the red dragon with one of the little black ones, since the British dragons are Welsh greens and Hebridian blacks? That would make the red dragon in the background a bit out of place..., I'll keep hunting around for more dragon habitat looking backgrounds.

You can replace the dragon if you want to, but it seems reasonable to me that dragonologists have access to exotic dragons, like with people irl who study animals in zoos for instance. Maybe no backdrop would be better since he'll be speaking in front of students at Hogwarts? His face gives him a lot of personality. c:

Ah, good Idea. Wardrobe is having a hissy at the momment..., but as soon as I can get into it again I'll pull the BG. He could be introducing the class to a welsh green and a chinese fireball.

Should I change my BG then ??

It's totally up to you but that's just what makes more sense to me.

Ok I´ll change it thank you. :)

not sure how to do that. When I put everything on from the saved outfit the nose is gone.

There will be the word "nose" underneath the list of wearables for that avatar. You can drag and drop it over "base" to make her have that feature.

for some reason my nose layer doesnt work properly when i share it so I screenshot it. and fixed her bio.

The nose layer hasn't been working for the Shared Avatars for a long time now and it's really annoying. Which sentence do you want to go along with your submission if it makes the cut? Does your character have a last name?

Ah, finally have pants again!
