Okay... it's been the same school year for like.... 2 years now. I think it's about time our characters grew up a little.

Because of this fact, a new year at Hogwarts will be starting!!! From now on, all your characters are a year older and another year farther in their studies. If they were in 7th year, you can either have them held back (because they didn't do their homework or something...) or stick around Hogsmeade and the like. Have fun!
