First and foremost: A name!

Name? The most important rule when naming things - DO NOT name them the same as their father's name!

Hmm, Nymphadora Tonks as a fellow reader I was wondering if you might lend me your copy of Magical Me by Gilderoy Lockhart? Old Lockhart may have been clueless, a sell-out and an embarrassment of a wizard- but from the reviews I've seen in Witches & Wizards Vogue, he has quite a grasp on language. Perhaps there are some promising names in his book which we might consider adopting for ourselves?

Thanks for sharing, Tonks! I've made my way through the first two chapters so far and it's .... interesting. To say the least. Not exactly a masterpiece though. So it's part memoir, part novel, part encyclopedia. Pick a lane, Lockhart! For those who aren't much for reading, don't take my word for it, here are a couple exerpts "Various seabirds are intelligent, but nothing is as elegant as a thestral twisting through a loop-de-loop. Now a thestral, is a special enchanted beasty. They are excellent flyers and display the agility of an animal a tenth of their size."
So he starts describing animals ....
But then there's his recount of an encounter in the chapter entitled, Who You Callin' A Troll?!
"Diggory and Crabbe were unbeknownst to each other in pursuit of the same treasure. In hot pursuit of a pygmy mountain troll. The scene was dimly lit as a thick fog descended upon the land. Diggory spotted something on the horizon "Aha, you Mountain Troll, you won't escape my clutches now" as his wand sent sparks thundering toward the figure. Clearing the fog. Meanwhile, Crabbe himself was also closing the distance between the pair. At a rapid rate, nonetheless. He was in such a rush that he hadn't noticed the fog beginning to clear when he was struck. At this, Crabbe was felled. By this time, the fog had almost vanished. "AAAAHHH Whaaaaa?!?! Ya daft Mountain Troll, you" he shrieked. "Who you callin' a Mountain Troll, you twit" Diggory retorted. At this point, both men felt humbled and embarrassed. They both mumbled some excuse under their breath and apparated to more familiar surroundings"

Weird, huh?
Something this raised though, was the idea for a bit of an ice-breaker game which could be fun. We'll need two volunteers to start. Tag you're friends - both old or new! So how this works is the first person calls the other a Mountain Troll, then the second says, "No I'm not, you're the Mountain Troll- but you're also a ...." (at this point they add another insult). That's a run of two. Then either the first person, or a new person goes "You may be a Mountain Troll and a ...., but I have also heard that you're a ... (new insult)" Which is a run of three. The goal is for us to try and get through everyone in a single run, building up to create a run involving everyone! It involves creativity, imagination, but mostly is just a fun for us all to mix

I feel like this game is dangerous for my signature.

My current ideas: Magica Wizzwazz Purple Hat No. Never. Too discriminatory against other colour hats.
