The first section of forums in the HOL forum is the HOL section, which contains things related to HOL.

The first and most important forum in the HOL section is the Announcements section. Here, important news and information pertaining to HOL is given out for all to see. Helpful rules and forum guidelines have also been pinned in this section, so make sure to stop by and read these notices before you post. Only HOL staff is allowed to post in this section.

Below the Announcements section is The Great Hall, where students may discuss anything related to HOL. It should be noted, that most contests are announced in The Great Hall, rather than the Announcements so that students can reply with questions and concerns, so you must constantly check this. Inside, you can find topics discussing your HOL character, HOL lineage, and even family and friends around HOL.

The next section is Quidditch Talk, where HOL quidditch games, quidditch announcements, and posts about how to try out for quidditch are made. This is the area where you can congratulate Gryffindor on a job well done if they win a game, or tell them that they tried hard if they lost.

Underneath Quidditch Talk is the Ask a Prefect board where you can field questions to prefects, professors, and other HOL staff to answer. However, please make sure to read the guidelines first, before posting, and please search the handbook for the answer to your question. Also, and perhaps most importantly, students should NOT answer questions in Ask a Prefect. This is to prevent conflicting or inaccurate information from confusing students.

The next section is the Offices section where staff offices are housed. In this section is a few subforums. The first is Professor Dybendahl's office where you can alert the headmaster to problems concerning the website or HOL office. Below that is the Hogsmeade office, where Jessa and other members of the Hogsmeade planning committee do their work, behind closed doors! The next office is the Awards Committee which gives out Order of Merlin's and Headmaster's awards, also behind closed doors. Finally, there is a section where RPG mods are planning the creation of the yet-to-be named HOL Role playing section.

So ends the HOL section of the forum.

The next section is the Students Lounge, where students can discuss anything at all. The first section under that heading is also called the Students Lounge. Inside, various discussions take place, and there are also four other forums. The Book Talk forum is where people discuss their favorite or sometimes lease favorite books. The Movie Talk sections allows people to talk about movies they like or have seen recently, and what sorts of opinions they formed over them. The Music Talk section allows you to share your favorite type of music and all your musical opinions with others. Finally, the Sports Talk section lets you talk about sports of all kinds with other HOLers.

Below the Students Lounge is General Harry Potter where you can talk about anything at all related to Harry Potter. Inside, is the HP6 forum where you must use spoiler tags to discuss things. If you do not use spoiler tags, you might spoil an unfortunate soul who has not read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince yet, so be careful!

Under this forum is The Bulletin Board where you can tell people when you're leaving, or coming back from a vacation. Also, it's a place where people post birthday greetings and wishes to their friends. Keep an eye out on that special day, you might even find a message there for you!

A new section of the HOL forum starts here: HOL Classes. The first forum under this section contains important announcements about HOL classes, as well as Professor and Student Teacher introductions, and class explanations.

The next section after this is the class forum for the Headmaster's class: The Squibbler. The Squibbler is a fictional newspaper magazine which tells tales about events which 'occur' after HP 6. Underneath this section is a number of forums for a few of the HOL classes. Classes like Deep Thoughts with Harry Potter, History of Magic, and Magic of Flash are all contained in here.

The next section of the forum is HOL clubs. In here are contained the forums for HOL's clubs.

The first forum is for the HOL Tolkien Society, a club where enthusiasts of the writer JRR Tolkien meet to discuss his many and varied works, as well as the movies and other things based upon his works.

The next forum is for the Drama Club, a club where members who are interested in acting, plays, or even playwriting gather to discuss their mutual interests.

The final forum is the HOL PPC club, a pen pal club for HOL students.

Below this you can see a section titled Board Statistics. Here you can find out who has the most posts for the day, see birthday announcements, and look at what members are currently online. For you true statistics junkies, you can also spot the members HOL has.

Finally, at the very bottom, there's a button which allows you to change the color scheme, language, and version which you view the forum at.
