URL - 8/10

I like the URL - It’s nice and straight to the point! It definitely lets you know that it's a Harry Potter roleplay. Try to up the creativity though!

THEME - 7/10

I like the theme, however there's a few things I'd like to touch on.  The "Next X Prev" button is REALLY hard to find when you're not like, specifically looking for it. That being said, The links are kinda hard to read on the left hand side? They're small, and they should be bigger because of importance! Also, as for the right hand side links, the character links and all that - that should be left for a link in the Navigation. Maybe put a "Most Wanted Characters/FC's" link, but having all the character links makes it look unorganized. Keep your links to one side or the other, and just put the most important - Home, Ask, Submit, Navigation (possibly Most Wanted).

FIRST LOOK - 7/10

I like it! It's very straight to the point, and the graphics are nice! There's a lot of mascot on the first page, which isn't that bad, but just keep that in mind. Very nice. Try and stray from the hardcore Black / White theme if you're not doing a chromatic theme altogether. I also like that you have a Music Player - but it doesn't play music for me? I don't know if this is just me, or altogether. Make sure it does NOT play music automatically UNLESS the music starts off calmly, as not to scare or startle potential applicants!

NAVIGATION - 6/10

Okay, so from the main page, it's very Black, White, Black, White... But then the Navigation is dark greys, blacks, and purple? Try and keep the colour scheme the same. I like how the navigation is set up, however. Keep the theme, change the colours!

RULES - 7/10

Like I always say with Rules, list your possible triggers and bold the important items. For example... "This is a mature roleplay. The characters are, mainly, adults. As such, there will be swearing, smut etc. It would be appreciated if smut were put under read more." is in your rules. Try putting it like this (it's how I would do it, minus the blockquote!):

POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: Language, smut, more tba.

This is a mature roleplay. The characters are, mainly, adults. As such, there will be swearing, smut etc. It would be appreciated if smut were put under read more.

Other than that, your rules are awesome!

ACTIVITY - 7/10

I can't find if you have a #starter tag or something, so I cannot judge your activity. However, based on your main page, I'll rate seeing as the admins seem pretty active. <3

Edit: I JUST found your tags. You need to make a little page called Tags to Track so people can find it easier!

Your activity is a little bit low, but I'll crack that up to finals and all that.  Try putting an event out to crank up the posts!

PLOT - 7/10

Not really following the HP fandom or the HP RP universe, but the plot looks okay to me. A little short, but still nice overall. Try lengthening it and adding a touch more of mystery to it!

GRAPHICS - 8/10

The graphics are pretty plain, but nice. I like the gradient thing they got goin’ on! Honestly, I really love them. They're simple, straight to the point, but they DEFINATELY draw attention and don't drop the ball! However, try and make the theme match the graphics!

CHARACTER BIOS - 9/10

I like them! They're not necessarily skeleton bios, but they're very short, and straight to the point - but they give alot of insight and character definition. Also, they're all relatively the same length! There's really no favouritism of characters, and the FC's are really spectacularly chosen!

ADMIN ATTITUDE - 9/10

OH MY GOODNESS this doesn't really go under any title, but do NOT use a Mascot FC as a CHARACTER FC too! Either make it your mascot, or use it as a character - never as both!

On to the actual rating.... Your admins seem really friendly and helpful! Admin Andy especially, since they edit the other posts to help Nonnies out if the first admin didn't clarify. Good job!
