A message from the Headmaster:

Unfortunately the hard drive of the HOL server decided to end its existence yesterday (it crashed, failed, died), so all HOL pages incl. forums and email were down for a day. I restored everything the best I can now, but the last backup of the main database was 3 days old, so everything that was submitted between April 23 and 25 is lost: all posts in the forum and all points submissions etc.

All Prefects and Professors please RE-SUBMIT all house points you've entered since April 23.

I will restart the HOL Challenge poll for Task 6 now - it will run until Tuesday night.

The deadline for Task 7 submissions (the erumpent drawings) has been extended until Tuesday night. All email you've sent to any hol.org.uk email address in the last 24 hours (incl the challenge email) did NOT arrive, please resend all Task 7 submissions.

That's it for now, if you notice any missing files or such, please PM or email me, I did my best to restore everything possible, but I might have forgotten a thing...

New assignments for the Magical Creatures of the Deep 2 class are now available.
