Ok, I shall be working on this project from now on. The goal is to make a magic school in America, which will be the counterpart of Hogwarts across the Atlantic. I will be needing volunteers to help me out.

Wooooooooohoooooooo... very very nice...

BTW, i was thinking... in HP Hogwarts was founded more than 1000 years ago [i could be wrong] and I just read that Durmstrang was founded at least 700 years ago... so our school should be founded at least 300-500 years ago right?

The name should sound native, as in Mayan or Incan, or maybe Norse? I'm really having a hard time picking a name coz with a name must come some sort of meaning behind it right?

feedback?

EDIT: yo Tipsy, your image screwed up my browser... but it's all good :cheer:

EDIT2: BTW this was my hundredth post... Yahooooooey it's the first time i reached a hundred in any forum... :smoke:

The wonders and vistas of Deviant Art. :cheer:

As for the name...

The name California is most commonly believed derived from a storied paradise peopled by black Amazons and ruled by Queen Califia. The myth of Califia is recorded in a 1510 work The Exploits of Esplandian, written as a sequel to Amadís de Gaula by Spanish adventure writer García Ordoñez Rodriguez de Montalvo. The kingdom of Queen Califia, according to Montalvo, was said to be a remote land inhabited by griffins and other strange beasts and rich in gold.

I'm thinking of a more Latin name. Merquise is on to it. Incan can be a good.

The griffin mythology is already there, we can build on that.

EDIT: I have a nifty add on to Firefox that lets me zoom out of images and make them smaller. :p

I think the name should be Spanish or like Aztec. Incan? They´re in Peru not California. I think it should have been founded by say Spanish wizards when they came from the Old World.

Good good, Spanish wizards sounds cool enough. We can also have our spells in Spanish instead of Latin? Hehe ok maybe that's pushing it.

I also just had an idea on building upon the magic of Harry Potter. The Brits had to use wands to do magic right? I'm thinking of having levels of wizardry:

Wand/Voice Wizard
Hand Wizard
Mind Wizard

Comments?

The spells are even better in Latin since they will have a lot of influence from the Catholic church lol.

My comment is that thats what JK Rowling does actually. I remember that Dumbeldore could do spells without saying them and some spells without a wand. Its explained later this is a higher level of casting.

yeah I remember reading that in HPB6 wherein Snape is telling Harry about such stuff, it also became evident whenharry gave chase to snape and the death eaters. Harry would use some spell to hinder snape but snape being able to cast w/o speaking was faster and thus foiling any attempt...

I think we both agree he is no kind of wizard, dark ashe may be (not skin :blackguy:)

I think we´re better off with an evil organization like the Death Eaters instead of a whole new main villain.

Good idea. So again, we need new names. For the school and for the uber evil group of dark wizards.
