Congratulations SAM! You have been accepted as AMOS DIGGORY.

With faceclaim of Max Irons

YAY more Hufflepuffs!  Plus, I’m always happy to see when people take on additional characters because it means they are enjoying their time here. The expansions of Amos were grand and he sticks true enough to canon of someone who would have felt the way he did about Cedric, but we still get to see his teenager side and it gives him plenty of room to grow into the man he will become!! Welcome (again) to ITBT! - Admin R

Congratulations ALEX! You have been accepted as REGULUS BLACK.

With faceclaim of Thomas McDonell

Thank goodness. Regulus is not someone we like to see left open. The Black family dynamic is never the same without him! I felt your connection to him through your application and enjoyed searching through everything you sent. I’m looking forward to his Black charisma! - Admin R

Congratulations JASPER! You have been accepted as DIRK CRESSWELL.

With faceclaim of Tom Holland.

It has been so long since I have seen a portrayal of Dirk! I love that he is your go-to character. It’s amazing how attached you can get to a character when they have very little canon information. It just means you are the perfect person to portray him and that is evident in your application! I can’t wait to see him speak Gobbledygook! Welcome to ITBT! - Admin R

Congratulations SIX! You have been accepted as EMMELINE VANCE.

With faceclaim of Sophia Black D’Elia.

I’m glad you finally returned from your winter vacation and still wanted to apply with us! I always love hearing from applicants even before they apply. It makes me feel involved from the get-go. Emmeline as the anti-hero will be a new take on her that I have yet to see. I think it will be a highly interesting portrayal of her and I cannot wait to see it get started. Welcome to ITBT! - Admin R

Congratulations SHANTAL! You have been accepted as REGULUS BLACK.

With faceclaim of Thomas McDonnel.

My favorite part of the entire application is where you say that Regulus stopped his parents from going after Sirius by stepping up and volunteering as tribute taking on his role. I felt that it spoke volumes toward Regulus’s character. Everything you wrote was such a fresh, but true view of Regulus and all the struggles he had to endure. I can only imagine what he’s about to go through in these next few years. Welcome to ITBT! - Admin R

Congratulations MORGAN! You have been accepted as EMMELINE VANCE.

With faceclaim of Kiko Mizuhara.

I need to start talking to applicants before acceptance rounds like I did tonight because I was able to talk to two really kind people. It made me thrilled to have both of y’all be a part of ITBT. Emmeline is one of those girls we know next to nothing about, so it is always interesting to see the way people choose to portray her. I loved your connection to her history to give her strength, but also purpose. I know she’ll make a great character on the dash! - Admin R

Congratulations MEGAN! You have been accepted as BELLATRIX BLACK.

With faceclaim of Jessica Lowndes.

We have been looking for a Bellatrix for six months! It is wonderful to have someone so used to playing her send in an app. Don’t get me wrong. First-time-players can make fantastic portrayals, but I got to see all of the little things you’ve developed over time and the ways you’ve changed her since your first portrayal. I also had the privilege of speaking to you before acceptances and it was clear to me that you’d fit right in here. I can’t wait to have you! - Admin R

Congratulations MEG! You have been accepted as Dominic Mulciber.

With faceclaim of Nathaniel Buzolic.

We’ve certainly been waiting quite a while for a Mulciber to come along. Sometimes you begin to think that you will never get one. Then, lo and behold, this magic app appears and suddenly there is hope! I like that you gave Mulciber complexity beyond what we know about him in the books. You recognize the fact that he was once just a child like anyone else, corrupted by the life around him. I can’t wait to see how everything molds him now! -  Admin R
