Sorry this isn't as epic an update as I wanted it to be. I've been really hard at work on some new decks and I wanted to churn them out before my next update. But I wasn't fast enough. You're probably wondering why I made all those Sorcerer's Stone scene decks. Didn't I promise you Half-Blood Prince? Well, yes, but I had started all those SS decks when I made the Ollivander's deck, and I didn't finish them because I got distracted with HBP decks. I decided to go back and finish them before doing more HBP to give you more choices. More choices for what you ask?

Birthday freebies!!!! That's right, this past week we've celebrated the birthdays of Julie Walters (actress who plays Molly Weasley), Timothy Spall (actor who plays Peter Pettigrew), and Ronald Weasley (played by Rupert Grint)!!! You may all take TWO cards featuring ANY Weasley and ONE card featuring Peter Pettigrew. You may also take ONE card from each of the new decks:

Sacrifice

Platform

Journey

First Glimpse

W.W.W.
If you want to wait to take your freebies, I am still in the process of making decks for Draco's Detour into Borgin and Burkes, and the attack on The Burrow from HBP.

Lastly, CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME NEW LAYOUT! I love Loulou so very much, round of applause!!! You may take ONE of the new Layout cards below:


New Students:

Small update, but totally worth it. Today Alan Rickman, the actor who plays Severus Snape, turns 64. (Mmmm, and is still so delicious!) Everyone may take ONE card of choice featuring either Severus Snape or Alan Rickman. As always, fanart and higher worth cards count.

In other news, you Draco Malfoy fans should be happy to see that I finished the Draco year 6 deck! I'm sorry I couldn't call it "Chosen" but Harry year 4 was already called that. Everyone may take ONE card from the new deck:

Burdened

Lastly I updated Ancient Runes and St. Mungo's. Go play!

So turns out when word got round that ol' Snivelly was sending valentines the Marauders got testy and decided to put out some valentines of their own. Some of their fellows in the wizarding afterlife thought that was juvenile. Not wanting Horcrux Students to be flooded with valentines from Moony, Padfoot and Prongs (Wormtail having been kicked out after that whole betrayal thing), Lily, Tonks and Cedric Diggory also decided to send out valentines. Now if you're lucky enough to find the Singing Cherub he may have a valentine for you from Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna, Draco, Snape, Dumbledore, Voldemort, Lily, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks or Cedric Diggory! If you've already found the Singing Cherub, visit him again, he might have a second valentine for you he forgot to hand over last time.

(Did you catch that? Everyone can have 2 valentines this year.)

If you're not in the Valentine's Day spirit, here's something else you might enjoy! Three new sets!!! Take ONE from each deck:

Cheeky

Stud

Smitten
(Thanks so much for the advice on what to call Hermy's deck!)
Not a Gryffindor fan? Never fear, Draco Year 6 is next on my agenda. I want to apologize to my Draco fans, because I've skipped over year 5. I took screencaps, but he's just not in the movie enough for me to make a decent deck. Would you like me to combine Years 5 and 6, or 5-7? Or would you like me to just skip it and you'll get your Draco Year 5 fix from scene decks?

Just a heads up. Last year our Cutenews was picked up by some stupid spam bot, which was posting hundreds of junkie comments like viagra ads and other lameness. So I changed our Cutenews settings so that you guys had to register in order to Comment. I'm not sure what happened after that. I might have reinstalled Cutenews a few months later. But I forgot to reset the settings on registration. Now we've got spam bots again. So for our safety and sanity I have reinstated the need to register as Commenters. It's really easy, you just follow this link to register --->

I want to comment, please!

And then I approve you. Simple. That way only Students can comment. No more spam. Hooray! Please use your Student name when you register so I can tell who you are.

I know I'm a little early, but seeing as I'll be celebrating Valentine's Day out with my fiancee...

Loulou was super mega awesome and donated TWO layouts to us! She made this Won-Won and Lav-Lav header, and she's made another one which I'll be using in March. For the new layout, everyone may take the new Layout card:

Updated Games:

The Random Game (Whose name I have changed to Wizard Crackers to keep it Harry Potter-ish)

Some of you may remember the game Singing Cherubs from last Valentine's Day, where you could win a random valentine about one of the main Harry Potter characters as well as 5 cards featuring that character. You may also remember where the Singing Cherubs link was, because it's not in the Games list...
