Okay, this might piss a few people off, but the house names should be changed. If Magic Horizons is a magic school LIKE Hogwarts, the house names wouldn't be the same. Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slythernin were the names of the four founders of HOGWARTS. There can still be four names that mean the same thing but not the same names. Please give your opinions.

I thought of that too, but if it's changed, it might confuse people and alienate newcomers to this site. Besides, if this was my site, I'd be too lazy to think up of new names. ^_^

I also thought that Magical Horizons would have different house names than Hogwarts, but I also sort of agree with Aylen...Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin are what people are used to and what they're familiar with. Changing them, especially at this point when the site has over 1,000 members and has been around for at least over a year, would be difficult because it would cause a lot of confusion. I think most people are comfortable with the house names and wouldn't want them changed, but I don't know for sure. Maybe you should make a poll about it...that might be helpful.

On My School site I did the same, it never seemed to keep people from joining up... The whole site is based on the idea of role playing in the magical world of harry potter not the harry potter books.... there is no Harry potter on the site or such, do you get what I mean?

I think it would be good if we changed the names, but I'd still want them to sound worthy and not rediculus sounding quickly made-up ones.

Yeah, maybe if we voted to have new names or not, that might be cool.... and then if we all sent in suggestions and then voted again on the names.
If it were to happen, it would have to be fair.

Sweets, the darlings Claire and Rose obviously had the houses the same as Harry Potter's 'Hogwarts' for a reason. Maybe it was to make being in the world J.K. Rowling created beautifully seem more real.
As I've stated, the headmistresses have the houses as these for a reason. Why question it? Sincerely, Marius.

My name is up the top left corner of my last (and this post) -grin-. So, to answer your curious question, no. What makes you ask?

*nods* I quite like it too. Everyone knows what each house is like and the characteristics of them. Made up names just wouldn't be the same. I say keep 'em.

Of course you would also have to put in the descriptions for that house liked( this is our version if Slytherin) or something of that nature
