I'm very interested in this game.
Sadly, I have a couple problems... I don't have any D20 modern stuff (broke, trying to get 3.5 stuff and spent my budget already) BUT I live between a couple of game stores and don't mind driving over to peek into the book
also, I have never read any of the HP books. I've only seen the two movies. But, I think it is an interesting enough world to place a game. I would love to play.
IF you let me in, I'm thinking of a Weasly (is that how you spell it) kind of nerdy kid with absolutely no knowledge of Hogwarts, magic, and heck, probably most of the world around him. (so, in some ways, like Harry) Both his parents are Muggles (is that how you spell it?) And have no idea what Hogwarts is.
He's a cyber junky, playing a lot of video games and fooling around online so knows a bit about computers... and very little else. He's not well liked in school, having no friends and so computers have been his only real contact. He'll be mortified to get to Hogs and find no 'puters
His main atributes would be Wis and Int, though, given confidence, he might grow into someone more graceful and strong.
anyway... thats just an idea if you let me in.
***EDIT***
Strike that... no computers. I don't want him having any obviously useful skills... maybe he can be obsessed with American Comic Books or something

Sweet. I'll work up some character information based on what you posted. I'll be humble and if I screw up something that is NOT an HP world thing, just let me know and I'll gladly fix it. As I mentioned before, I haven't read the books (though most of my friends have.) I'll probably get started reading them here soon when I finish the Timothy Zahn Star Wars Trilogy

Is it too late for me to join? I'm thinking a mud-blood, who learned some small magical knowledge before being discovered and given the option of attending Hogwarts or having his magic stripped from him. A third-generation welfare kid from Manchester, he's intensely jealous of those who have had the advantages of a magical upbringing, but at the same time overproud of his own accomplishments. Naturally, he'd be headed for Slitheren.

Still room for players? I'd like to join. (I'm considering running a HP game myself to get my wife's family to try gaming. They're leery but interested in D&D and they're all HP fans.)
I came up with a character concept already. Colin Shaw, 1st level Smart Hero, wannabe spy and general trouble maker. His dad's an American, retired Air Force pilot and a muggle, met his mom while stationed near Oxford (Upper Heyford is the base I believe). His mom is British (obviously), she's a witch working for the Ministry of Magic in the Accidental Magic Reversal Squad. (Got a whole history for them too- She met his dad when he saw something while he was flying around that he wasn't supposed to see. She did the wizarding version of the MIB flashy memory wiper, but started dating him afterward. They got married and had Colin. One of Colin's first flashes of magical talent dispelled the memory charm on dad and rather than being upset his dad was just pleased that "a whole lot of weird stuff suddenly made sense.")
The family has just moved back to England for his dad's retirement after a long assignment to the U.S., so Colin's most recent memories are of American culture. He knows what his mom does and pictures her as a MIB of sorts and hopes to join the Ministry himself someday, but for the Department of Mysteries. He loves to play spy/thief games and is a huge fan of James Bond films. Both his parents hope that going to Hogwart's will keep him out of trouble.
Anyway, if you still have room for players I'll gen up a character sheet for you. The general concept is, like I said, a wannabe spy- wants to be James Bond, but turns out more Harriet the Spy. Let me know if there's room, I'd really like to play.
