[QUOTE="RainOfSteel, post: 1848097, member: 24460"] I wouldn't worry about lawyers (armchair or otherwise) given that you're keeping it to yourself. I just came off a two year straight Harry Potter campaign, 7 school years and a 5-year school reunion mini-year. Approximately 95 or so sessions (including skip weeks). It was based on the d6 system. Since it wasn't for sale or publication, and will likely never be heard of again, none of us worried about copyright infringement. As for issues, one of the toughest things is to create a useable roster of magic from what little is displayed in the books and movies (in comparison to a major RPG, the books and movies hardly show anything). This is made tougher in that as the books go on, magic and it's schooling become less and less a part of the books (whereas in the first book, learning about magic was huge). Oh, yes. School scheduling. Our GMs (there were two, they ran alternating years) had the entire school enrollment written out, every name in the school for all seven years. There were some substantial problems in distributing the students into classes based on the known classes and the known teachers. It just didn't fit. The early books don't discuss scheduling much, and the most recent only confuses the issue IMO. Nevertheless, each PC did have a complete daily class schedule every single year (even though lack of planning and disagreement between the GMs mean that years 1-5 all had completely different scheduling systems).
