Description:

Yes, I'm still going strong on the Harry Potter mania, but I fully realize that when the last book is out, the only thing we fans will have to look forward to is the last two movies- and that's a dubious thing indeed! So I decided to start a swap to give us all something to get excited about once that last book is finished and placed sadly on our shelves (only to be reread time and time again!).

I love Slytherin, I admit it. I'm a complete Slytherin junkie, and I always want new stuff to improve my House Pride. I've got a scarf and a school uniform, but that doesn't seem like enough. I can always use more. So I decided to create a swap to get just that- things I might not have considered. Also, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw fans probably have trouble finding things for their obsessions. I thought to help.

The rules are simple:

  1. Sign up

  2. Post in your profile your favorite Hogwarts House (Ravenclaw fans, please specify if you prefer the blue/gray of the movies or blue/bronze of the books in case someone wants to make something). Also, if there's something you already have, post it there too if you don't want repeats in your collection.

  3. Spend $10-15 minimum, please, and make things nice. Things you'd want to receive for your own House!

  4. Send out a lovely package by the deadline!

A few more basics-

If you get a package, please rate a 5. If you're really impressed, give a heart. Send at least one item, though more is preferred, of course! It doesn't matter if it's store bought or hand made, if you spent 2 hours or 24, just make it lovely! Be creative! Newbies are allowed to join with full profiles. USA only to save on shipping- sorry! There's a long time between sign up and send date to ensure plenty of time for everyone to gather a nice package.

A few suggestions for home made items:

Scarves, bookmarks, wandbags, hats in school colors, journals, etc.

Enjoy! Don't mourn when the last book is out! Don't give up! Continue to support your favorite house!

(And I suspect Slytherin will really need the support after it's all over...)

Not that I'm a Harry Potter geek or anything...

I love Ravenclaw, in both color varieties. :D I've only got a scarf, but I wouldn't mind another one.

What a fun swap idea!

nicoleblack 07/18/2007 #

I haven't been sorted yet, so I'll report back later with a house : )

Anniehall 07/19/2007 #

So sad... it isn't international!

Omi 07/19/2007 #

If someone wants to create an international version, they are more than welcome!

preludes 07/20/2007 #

Ooooh, please someone make an international one! I'd be so there!!

I have to bail on this one. I'm sorry! I was really excited about this one, so I had my husband find a tree branch that would be suitable to make into a wand. I thought that it would be a cool thing to send to whoever my partner was. Well, he found a good branch and carved it for me. After I looked it over, I'm not willing to part with it. It's a very cool wand, so, in a way, I DID get something out of this swap-- just from my husband : )

Ravenclaw and Gryffindor, I just can't decide!!! I am so into HP I will take anything from any of the houses because i don't have anything specifically for any of the houses

Allucinari 07/24/2007 #

Ravenclaw! I prefer the blue/bronze combo, but I'm not too picky. Ravenclaws have a hard enough time finding stuff, let alone stuff that is book canon colors.

Invisible 07/25/2007 #

After taking a test I was sorted into... Griffyndor so that's my house. :o)

user9490 07/25/2007 #

Gryffindor here, I can't wait to start making stuff :)

denisemichelle 07/29/2007 #

I made a Prof. Sprout costume for the book release, so I'm going to go with Hufflepuff on this swap. I have robes, jewelry, a hat, and a wand thus far, but nothing specifically Hufflepuff, so anything would be welcomed!

PennyArcade 08/ 1/2007 #

i was surprised to see that i was sorted into Slytherin, sort of. (insert sardonic laugh here)

Need help with sorting? here's the sight i used. very scientific....

PennyArcade 08/ 1/2007 #

oh, and i would truly dig knee socks and or a scarf!!!! you are all lovely.

For any fans I posted a new harry potter sock swap for sep-oct check it out :)

daffyd1963 08/ 6/2007 #

I have some misc harry potter stuff but when I was sorted my house is Gryffindor

I would love to have a special wand made just for me but anything related to Harry Potter will be great

rebeccaljames 08/ 8/2007 #

My favorite Hogwarts House is Gryffindor.

TeraBACat 08/10/2007 #

LOL! The Sorting Hat doesn't know what to do with me! Depending on the test I take I am sorted into all but Slytherin...the site mentioned above by Penny Arcade sorted me and gave me these scores 99 Hufflepuff, 97 Ravenclaw, 94 Gryffendor, 44 Slytherin. Thats cool for me 'cause I like all the houses except Slytherin :)

girlunderglass 08/15/2007 #

That is an awesome Sorting Hat quiz. I got Ravenclaw, which is of course my house of choice <3

Blue and gray are prettier together, I think.

Lithmire 08/29/2007 #

I got your package sent out a few days ago, Carolyn! Hope it gets there soon. :D

TeraBACat 08/30/2007 #

The international version of this swap was just cancelled! ARG!! So I started a new one since I am having so much fun getting my package ready to send out for this one! International version - new
Omi-san - I hope you don't mind that I posted this here :)
