Thanks goes to Indigo Grace for suggesting this feature! ^^
What do I put in my album?
You may create one album for each of your characters.
Each album is a thread, set out in much the same way as your character's journal, that displays pictures of all your character's friends and family back home. You may then write notes on each of the photos like - 'Day out in the Snow' or 'Me - aged 5'
The thread may also contain pictures of your character before they were old enough to attend Hogwarts, perhaps playing with friends or siblings. If you like, you may also post photos of a family pet or house-elf (house-elves, gnomes and other magical creatures from back home may be drawings, but you may use Winky and Dobby from the films).
All (see above) pictures must be photographic, that means no artwork. You can use whichever celebrities you like to portray your family or out-of-school friends, but we do ask that if your character has a family member who also has posted their Photo Album, you use the same celebrity for say - your character and their sibling's mother in both albums.
If you want to show pictures of your character when they were small, we say that (up to the age of about 5) you can use any similar-looking picture of a child you like.
In the wizarding world, photographs have a life of their own and can move freely. For this reason, animated images are more than encouraged. However, still 'muggle' photos are permitted, as we understand it will be difficult to create of get hold of video clip animations of the celebrities you wish to use.
If you have any questions, please PM a staff member and they'll be happy to help. ^^
