That would be brilliant! :D 

This sounds like an amazing idea and would target such a large audience of the world! I hope this idea gets approved, Didi <3 Below is just a range of the population which speak spanish across the world (Note: this is an old statistic) just show the market it is directly working within! :D 

Thank you for responding :D I understand that point of view ^-^ 

That would be an amazing option, especially if a "sound off" button was applied for users who don't want to hear the effects. But I would love this idea- it worked amazing on Pottermore

Perhaps this could be something available for later on in a students year (like year 6/7)? I don't believe it would be realistic to offer it to younger. I do see this as a good idea, but not in the current age ranges of the EU/DE/US sites.

I'm with Lucian on this. The quidditch system is great at the moment. Perhaps this could be a developement for the future, but the game is nice enough already.

I don't think this is a good idea, mainly because sometimes users will leave for a certain amount of time if Real Life takes over and will expect to return. I can imagine how upsetting it would be to have your user deleted as you were an able to get online/had another commitment.

A lot of users join every site as they will (every now and then) check what other sites are up to or how their friends are doing in a certain position they may have obtained on the other site. A lot the German staff are friends and I'm there to see how they do and explore what the German site has to bring. To delete users would also bring down the chance of possible activity stats on the site. People will be caught up in RL sometimes, deleting their accounts would be in some cases heartbreaking especially if they had a serious reason to leave.

That's just my opinion on the matter.

h my god this is exciting!

It is realistic for 11 year olds to be sent to a school far away. This is called boarding school and, surprisingly, is quite a common thing to happen in England if the family has the money or the child has an extraordinary scholarship worthy gift. In the case of Hogwarts, it would be the second option- the child is extremely talented in magic. When it comes to the Muggle World- if it becomes an option people will simply create topics (unrealistically) all around the world or far away from home. It would become a drag back on the actual focus of the site- the magical universe. If you wanted a site where you could RP in cities, I'm sure there is one available somewhere.

"First year student Jane had decided to go visit London with her two eleven year old friends for a week, on their own without a parental guardian and having a great time causing trouble wherever they go." Or even "Jane's family decided to take her and her friends to the muggle town in the French Channel islands over the holiday where they could use magic and do whatever they want." Sounds lovely, but as a prefect the muggle world would be incredibly difficult to moderate due to the level of realism we could actually accept and the different boundaries such a topic section would push. It would be a weight on the fact of the HP universe sites Realism, which I think I'm going to end up saying several times in this comment. It's a major part of why the muggle universe wouldn't work.

Now, if you actually want to RP a holiday, I would suggest a method I use- get an owl running between the people you want to take on holiday with you and do it that way. Owl RPs work much better than people consider them to do. One of my characters is currently on Christmas Break with her Adopted Mother and Brother. It works incredibly well, as the location is yours to chose and you can be as imaginative as you want. You can also RP in anyway you want to, which sounds pretty good if you think about it. ;)

The World Outside is already an area with such capabilities, and it is gifted to the Graduates for a simply reason- they are not students and are free to travel wherever they want around the world realistically. As Lucian said, it's something for students to work up to. If you want to be part of the world outside, you can now age up on EU and make your characters traveling especially realistic.

This is just my opinion. Of course, I understand where you're coming from, but in my opinion as a prefect and a user of the site I believe it's not really something needed.

Yay!
