Ok, so I'm back doing the regular challenges! I'm downing the number of caps we provide to four, since you're only allowed to enter two icons now ;)
Please remember to read the rules carefully for each challenge, because they vary depending on what they call for... If you have any questions, please comment separate from your entry post and I will get back to you asap!
Also, we nominate all winning icons to hp_awards. If you do not want your icons to be nominated, you need to say so in your entry post!

Rules of the Capture Challenge:
* You may use only the pictures provided above.
* No blending with outside pictures.
* Text and Animation are allowed.
* You may submit up to two (2) icons.
Hunt Challenge: Herbology
Seriously, I can't believe my co-mods haven't done this one yet! I think its the last class that we actually have caps of, so make me some good icons! You may make icons of Professor Sprout or icons from herbology class.
Rules of the Hunt Challenge:
* You may use any picture you find, but it must be a scene/character from the Harry Potter movies.
* Blending, Text, and Animation are allowed.
* You may submit up to two (2) icons.
Hush Challenge: darkness
Idea from our own alexia_drake! Its pretty self explanatory... Make it an actual dark (not bright/light) icon, or you can go along the more loose term like dark as in death or bad things... If you have questions as to wether it counts, please ask me BEFORE you submit your icon!
Rules of the Hush Challenge:
* Text is NOT allowed. Not even tiny text or a decorative brush that looks like text.
* You may use any picture you find, but it must be a scene/character from the Harry Potter movies.
* Blending and Animation are allowed.
* You may submit up to two (2) icons.
Text Challenge: The Merpeople Riddle
Idea from our own polar_ice_cubes! You use the lyrics from the merpeople riddle, but you don't have to necessarily use pictures from the scene at the lake - you can use any caps as long as its from a HP movie!
Come seek us where our voices sound,
We cannot sing above the ground,
And while you're searching ponder this:
We've taken what you'll sorely miss,
An hour long you'll have to look,
And recover what we took,
But past an hour -- the prospect's black,
Too late, it's gone, it won't come back.
[GOF US, pg. 463]
