I've been contacted to also test the game. Yay. That comes out quite good, as it's my last day of work tomorrow and I can start playing tomorrow!

They should have made a little set similar to 7624 Jungle Duel with Harry, Ron and Hermoine in their casual clothes and the tent. Instead of the bench and weapon rack: a chair and a simple bunk bed or a tree and an icy pond with Gryffindor's sword. That would be nice!

I can't deny those two 'arguments' of yours. I defended Nene because I truly thought she was innocent. And you thought she was hallowed (and you kept pushing everybody to vote for her), but she was neither one. But, in the end of the day, it was a good choice to get her voted off though. And, yes, I blocked you. We already discussed this together. And to tell it to everyone, I explained that I thought you were up to something that night with all the replies you made in the day topic. As I said, people who are saying too much and pointing fingers at others, get my attention. You replied you were aware of bringing the attention to yourself, you even said many people used their action on you that night. And now, you are rambling again and accusing a random person as a Deathly Hallowed, even after you said you voted off Nene to protect yourself?! You admit bringing down people for saving yourself. And now, what? You went crazy because someone controlled your vote, and now it's just a lie? Why do keep lying and rambling so much? We aren't able to trust you after all these 'explanations'. It makes you look bad, not me.

A lot has happened tonight! Although Tea Ching has to wander around Hogwarts until the attackers are caught, or even forever, but I think I can say for all we're happy to have her on our side. So, miss Ching you know the third Impartial in the game, but it seems you're thinking the Impartial will not hurt the Innocents? Wouldn't it be better to let us know who it is, to protect ourselves? Oh my, a werewolf! Good to read it didn't attack anyone. Is there anyway we could see the gender of a werewolf? Could the werewolf be an Innocent? And there is the Dementor again, good to hear nobody ran into its path! Good to see somebody killed Cuddles, thank you very much. And I hope someone will be able to cure Madam Kingstone. I don't think somebody innocent would give her such a potion it kills her... Let's hope she gets alright. The Foe Glass confuses me though, so you see who attacked you, but now it gives names of people who didn't attack you?

There are many invisibility cloaks, but Harry's was indeed one of the Deathly Hallows. Harry's cloak could be used forever, as normally these cloaks only last for a specific period of time. I assume it's a normal one, as Harry won't lose his one so fast (it's a relic of his ancestors).

Nice conclusion! I like the 'reminder' of that dark wizard.

You're right there. If she's indeed an innocent, we know who to point our fingers at. So now you are, again, starting to randomly accuse people of being Death's Hallowed. I'm not ignorant, I just don't agree with the way you look and observe things, and how you translate them to arguments. The thing is, I'm not even sure she's innocent. The lying is the only thing I see as a decent argument, as it can be assumed miss Kingston is innocent now.

Oh, let's bring up an investigator. Again. I already heard that story. How can we all trust you? So, it seems there has been created a little gang of so called 'innocents'. For all I know, grouping together and declaring yourselves innocent, with an investigator in the gang, could just be a set-up by the Death's Hallowed. Shouting out you're innocent, that you have been investigated and that you know for sure someone is Death's Hallowed makes you get a lot of attention, and in my eyes it's not in the good way. I still don't see any really good reasons to vote Nene off. I wouldn't be much surprised when Nene is send to New Azkaban and she's revealed to be an innocent.

Good nothing happened tonight! I'm still wondered how a squib can be resistant to magic. I think someone protecting her on the right time, but I'm going to take miss Kingston's word for it. I have a big feeling Jolie is trying too hard to convince us all to vote off Nene... Yesterday the same happened, too much investigation which goes too far sometimes. All I see is that she's repeating the same 'points' for convicting Nene. The ability to torture people could be used to protect others, or perhaps to reveal some things about the tortured person. I don't know. But I can say I'm not yet convinced to vote off Nene. You'll have to come with better (which does not mean far-fetched) arguments against her.

Not counting the Collectable Minifigures, I finally bought some LEGO since 7 months ago. I always thought the piglet wouldn't look good, but it looks great in real life. Now I'm not so sure anymore whether to buy some Brickforge piglets, as those are more simple and in a classic LEGO style. Oh, well, probably not as the official ones look better than I thought. Now I should get that set with the piglets and the tractor.

I have to agree. Bulltoad doesn't really deny he's one of the Death's Hallowed. Especially "I think you are mistaken there", makes me starting to think. He should be sure if she's mistaken in seeing him or not at night. If he has done nothing at night, so professor Kingston didn't see him, he should be sure about it. I'm going to cast my vote later today, if I will vote at all. But of the three names mentioned, Bulltoad has my attention, and it's one of the suspects of miss Kingston.

Thanks for the pictures! I must say I'm really impressed by all the great LEGO City sets this year. It's getting my attention again, so to get back into LEGO City and building a decent tabletown. This is the set I've anticipated most. I love everything about it (although more greenery would've been nice). The tram just shouts to be adjusted to a monorail (because a Futuron monorail in a town doesn't make sense ). There's one thing that's holding me off... 100 EUR is indeed very much for this set, I thought of 70 euro. I still have to buy the Medieval Market Village set, so that one has priority. Thanks again!

I've stated clearly yesterday that I'm not willing to vote if there's not enough or real evidence against a person. I told that I was almost convinced by all the reasoning you guys have made, but not fully convinced. So why should I make a vote? To send another innocent to Azkaban? Today, I also don't see much real evidence. But it's good to have some suspects, so we'll see how it turns out.

Oh, no! Someone from Ravenclaw has been murdered! The mood will be very negative tonight in our common room... It should be, we can hold silence in memory of Francis... On the attack itself, there are some clues in the story I see. First of all, I think the person who attacked Francis wasn't an adult. The attacker didn't know which book it was, and it seems Francis was learning spells from it. If it was indeed a spell book, an adult who learnt at Hogwarts should know it or at least, he/she should have heard about it. It could also be a spell book involving dark magic, as it describes how to perform Avada Kedavra. So from that I guess the attacker doesn't already doesn't know much about dark magic, a real dark wizard should recognize such a book immediately. Then another question is, how did Francis get in the forbidden section of the library, if it is indeed a book about dark magic? Also, Professor Longbottom, I don't think it's a potions book. Francis won't learn Avada Kedavra from a potions book... It's probably a disguise for the book.

I have to say some of my fellow students did a great job on interrogating Angela Weasley. They have been reasoning very well, and it seems it has worked out negative for Angela. I'm almost convinced to vote her off, mostly because Angela's defence has some contradictions in it. But it could be possible Angela is still a bit fuzzy from the attack. There aren't really any other leads at the moment, so Angela Weasley is the main suspect for today, but she still has time left to make things clear.

Oh, no! What is going on here on Hogwarts... First a bunch of evil people starting to kill innocent students (now also an adult!) and even a student of our own who became tempted to kill... Brandon was becoming a good friend of mine, he taught me to love nature and to respect it. I can't believe he set out a fearsome beast. Perhaps the voice of nature got too high in his head... Mother nature drove him mad. Perhaps it was for the better to get rid of him, but I lost a friend. The loss of caretaker Farbod is also a tragedy. He was just as brave as Hagrid, and it got him killed. With the appearance of the Dementor he didn't notice the beast behind him... There's a time for mourning, but also a time to find out who's behind all this. Perhaps the Death's Hallow who murdered Brandon knew of his hatred of mankind, it would be possible to me if the murderer knew Brandon would eventually kill people. Caretaker Farbod was attacked by the Dementor, so who called the Dementor? The beast who got him killed was Brandon's. We should start protecting ourselves at night against he beast and be very aware of what could happen. On a bright note, I'm happy Angela Weasley is alright. It would be a great tragedy for Auror Weasley to lose one of his nieces and knowing he was to late to protect her. Perhaps she protected herself, but it's more likely someone just prevented her from doing anything that night and just paralysed her.

Wow, Day 2 is up already! I'm going to take a good look now. That was really fast.

I'm really curious what happened tonight! But take your time Sandy, as the photograps were very good and should be kept like that.

I love the new Malfoy minifigure! Yes, cartoonish but all the new LEGO Harry Potter minifigures are like that, but it works perfect for a younger version (book 1-3) I think. Now about the magazine scans, thanks for showing them, they look very good. I love all the new minifigures! I could keep saying how wonderful and great they are, so I'm going to say a few things about them which I don't like. Filch's hair should have been dark brown because it was a unique colour, oh well. I'm still disappointed with Harry's head in a couple of sets... He just looks too young to fight against Bellatrix or Voldemort. They use the figures of '07 with a very decent head that looks more mature. Why couldn't they used that one, with the mouth upside down on the back of head... Now I'm going to have to make some decals. So, I love everything of the new LEGO Harry Potter series. It's only a pity they decided to make the faces of the teenagers very, very kiddy looking. That doesn't fit when you want them to fight for life and death (in your MOCs) against an evil lord... I'll make a bunch of MOCs with these new figures from the first three books, but especially Harry Potter and Ron Weasley are looking pretty useful to use in a MOC based on the Deathly Hallows. Oh, and are those wands 5 studs long? Hopefully not! 4L was long enough, but with the introduction of 3L bars, it was only logical to have those as wands. (Not that I don't have enough 4L bars, and 5L will be very useful, but it looks weird.)

I'm keeping them currently in a model car display case. But when the second series arrives, I'm probably going to put hem in a glass shelve in my LEGO corner. The display case with the figures is standing in our living room.

Oh, then I got it very wrong. Excuse me! I don't find it bad people refer to those, but we should keep in mind this Hogwarts mafia is very different from the other ones.

I assume metagaming is using information from outside the game itself? ...Well, it's a game based on the universe of Harry Potter, so I think we may use all the information (or almost all the things we would know as outsiders 20 years laters) written in the books. I think we could image well that, 20 years after the defeat of Voldemort, we all heard the many stories of how Harry (and the gang) defeated him and what happened during his years at Hogwarts. I'm pretty sure we all heard things which happened 20 years ago, just because you heard someone telling it you. Oh, and I'm also pretty sure the rise and defeat of Lord Voldemort would be subject in History of Magic!

Oh, I like the new Dumbledore minifigure! It resembles Michael Gambon very well, I think he did his role very well, especially in the last film (in the 4th film: not so much "DIDYAPUTYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIAH"). The torso and head look very interesting. Penguin, I don't know why you think the glasses aren't there? I see clearly the half-moon glasses in gold printed on the head. I really hope these new figures are the ones in the set. And yes, they look a bit more cartoonish and childish (especially Harry which just doesn't work for 4-7), I still like them all and I'm just so happy they're making this again. If only the wands weren't so long... 3L would have been perfect, like the one used by the magician in the Collectable Minifigures series.

So you want us to just pick out a random student or teacher and send him or her to New Azkaban? So we'll get the idea we are in fact doing something good, so the outsiders know we're taking action? Well, doesn't that remind me very much of Hagrid who was send to Azkaban during the attack of the Basilisk?! And it didn't stop with that, many innocent people were sent to Azkaban from then on to create the appearance of safety. This is very hard, though. We aren't able to pick out the attackers, but if we don't more people will be attacked or even murdered, but we would also take the risk of sending an innocent person to New Azkaban... I know time has changed and New Azkaban isn't Azkaban, but we can't just randomly pick people to send them off just because you don't like the tone they spoke with or because there family was on the wrong side 20 years ago.

I won't vote today because I haven't seen enough evidence. Accusing a Malfoy is strange, as I think the family is really on the good way lately. The family doesn't want to be related to evil any more. Also, he never knew Voldemort, so there's no way he could be influenced by him... Or by his uncle. I'm curious though of why they call themselves after and use the symbol of the Deathly Hallows...
