When you first signed up, you were asked to read this page. In order to proceed, you must agree with the following rules
Harry Potter Chat Website Rules:
Failure to read these rules may result in your posts being removed, moved, or modified.
Before you begin your Witches and Wizards Adventure, there are very important things you must understand.
Your journey begins as a Muggle. As a muggle, you will not see certain forums until after you have introduced yourself to the other witches and wizards among these boards as well as post greetings to the other muggles who just registered. After about 20 minutes of your introduction and posting your hellos to others, the wizarding world will be open for your enjoyment. The user title will change and you will have access to many other features. Please do not rush.; simply enjoy your time on the boards.
Registration to this forum is free! We do insist that you abide by the rules and policies. If you agree to the terms, please check the 'I agree' checkbox and press the 'Register' button below. If you would like to cancel the registration, click here to return to the forums index.

Dear Psysquid,
Thank you for registering at Harry Potter Chat!
Harry Potter Chat began May 1, 2004 as a birthday present to a very special young lady. She and her sister have been spending years starting threads, pruning out spam, moving topics, helping people discover all kinds of things about Harry Potter.
Harry Potter Chat is a family site. You may meet little ones curled up on the couch with their grandma or grandma reaching out to other little ones. You may also meet teens, who grew up with Harry Potter. We have adults who guide discussions about theories and interpretations. We have about the greatest range of people on this planet. In fact, people from all over the world have discovered HPC.
We are glad you have chosen to be a part of our community and we hope you enjoy your stay. There are a few things we would like to tell you so that your time on Harry Potter Chat is more enjoyable.
POSTING INCREASES FEATURES* ~
The more you post, the more features become available to you. Please, though, do not be silly and just post one word posts. In fact, caretakers may remove your posts and you lose credit. Be thoughtful and use full sentences. Sometimes people are just learning English and so keep the punctuations and use complete sentences.
LIVE CHAT ~
Live Chat only becomes available after you have reached a certain number of posts. After you have posted for awhile, all of a sudden, the site will look different to you. There are hidden forums, live chat rooms, and videos.
POST YOUR INTRODUCTION ~ To get started, there is a Hogwarts Express forum available for you to post an introduction. Start there by introducing yourself. Next, say hello to several others.
How many Wizards and Witches are on the site? We never know for sure because several keep their invisibility cloaks on and just watch to make sure no one gets harmed. However, our best guess is that anywhere from 8-10 are active at one time. There could be as many as 5-10 chatting away.
TELL YOUR FRIENDS ~
Please let your friends know about the greatest HP community on the web.
All the best,
Dumbledore, Hermione, MarkEvans, Harry Potter, Voldemort, and the whole gang of CaretakersHarry Potter Chat
I hope this helps.
