Congratulations to the four of you on making it this far!

Hidden Immunity Items and Immunity Pairs are now behind us, and all that stands between you and the Final Magical Council are two Immunity Challenges, each with one winner apiece. If you want that to be you today, you'll need to properly embody the very best that the HP fandom has to offer.
Two of the more enduring impacts the series has had upon the lives of its fans are the promotion of literacy, and engendering of empathy. An entire generation is brimming with young adults who credit Harry Potter with sparking their love for (or even occasional tolerance of) reading, and HP is still being used today in classrooms worldwide. (Though fewer universities; one IRL Professor told me they'd be uncomfortable teaching material which their students knew more about. Which is fair.) Meanwhile, actual scientific studies have found that on average, HP readers are more open to understanding and helping marginalised groups than the general population. Many charities have been started by elements within the fandom, most notably Fandom Forward (previously known as the Harry Potter Alliance).
And so today we've arranged for a Challenge that will quite literally be raising money for charity, using your literacy skills. In short, it's the perfect Challenge to mark our finale, even if it's not quite your last. It represents the spirit we'd like to see in our own little corner of the HP fandom so perfectly that we're actually opening up a separate bracket of this challenge for the Wizengamot, Cancelled, Gallery and Ministers to see who can raise the most money.
How exactly is that money to be raised? ... Well we can't give you all the details on that until you begin the Challenge.
There won't be any Member Groups for this one. Instead you'll need to arrange for a Minister to be online when you intend to begin. So please tag the Ministers (simply post "@peter" in your Challenge thread, or any of the other Ministers who happen to be online) so that we can agree on a start time and post your further instructions then.
The Challenge will run for one hour, ending exactly 60 minutes after a Minister posts your instructions. Despite the lengthy time you should set aside for it, we promise that the Challenge itself won't be too difficult; it will require your attention for the duration of that hour but the extra instructions are short and simple (just 182 words; we counted).
The winner of this Challenge will have Individual Immunity at tomorrow night's Final Four Magical Council, and a guaranteed spot in the Final Three!
You must complete this Challenge by 8:30pm AEST tomorrow.

Any ques- yeah no dice with that...
Please coordinate with the Ministers in your Challenge thread to set your own start/end times.
