12 Hours of Academic Adventures!
Feature

Hello, my dear readers, and welcome back to the Daily Diviner. Potterworld has been plenty active since the start of the summer months, and recently, the Academics department even hosted their spectacular day-long classes event! This time around, I was lucky enough to be available during the 12 Hours of Classes. Let me take you through my experience at the 12 Hours of Classes as well as a brief guide to these events.
To begin with, it is important to know about 12 Hours of Classes itself. The 12 Hours of Classes, hosted a few weeks ago on June 1st, was not the only one that has been hosted! Over the years, there have been 8 hour and 24 hour class events as well. These events are hosted by the Academics department every once in a while, and it consists of a variety of classes and challenges hosted by Professors and the Arena team throughout the day.
A schedule for the event was posted on the PotterworldMC website prior to the start of classes in order to help students plan out which classes they want to attend. The “Hours of Classes” events are always great for giving some love to the hard work of the Academics department! To participate, all players need to do is check their availability, log on at the right time, and wait for a class to start! A class or challenge is hosted every hour, so any time a player logs on there is sure to be a class starting soon.
As for my experience, I participated in two classes of note throughout the day. Firstly, I attended Wizard’s PE with Professor snotflower! Wizard’s PE is a classic class and one of my favorites. There is nothing quite like racing against fellow talented parkourists to be the first one to the finish line. This particular Wizard’s PE had students jumping through the Hogsworth course, a notoriously difficult journey. Thankfully, I finished within the time limit and was able to move on to other courses! From the chat, it seemed like players were having fun bounding through Hogsworth’s halls and participating in trivia run by Professor snotflower and the Class Helpers.
I also attended a Mystery Challenge shortly after. Who knew what I could get? Luckily for me, it was a 1v1 Flying Challenge, which happens to be my favorite minigame. Although there were some technical difficulties and a change of map, it was an overall fun experience to fly with other players! Unfortunately, I was knocked out in the preliminary round of flying; however, I had a great time, and I’m sure other players did as well!
However, that is enough of a student’s perspective. I had the opportunity to speak with some Academics department members about their time helping with classes and challenges throughout the day! I spoke with Professor Aglyn, who hosted, helped, or attended every single class and challenge, and Jr. Professor SnowyKitty, who hosted the first class of the day!
A lot can happen in 12 hours of non-stop classes! Were there any highlights of the day/your particular class for you?
Aglyn: Although the "Hours of Classes" only comes around so often I always try to participate even if it's for a short amount of time. I didn't have anything going on that day and I decided to help run the classes/challenges as I really love hosting and helping, it makes me so incredibly happy to see the community's excitement for the different variations of classes that we offer.
SnowyKitty: It was my second ever class and my first time teaching Theatre... I was not prepared for how many students joined. My pacing was a bit all over the place, so it ended up taking over an hour to have everyone perform! Still, it was absolutely lovely. The energy everyone brought made my day.

“Hours of Classes” only comes around so often! Why did you decide to help run the classes/challenges this time around?
Aglyn: My personal highlight of the day and the classes/challenges that have been hosted throughout the day was the incredible interaction and engagement the Academics team held with the community. Personally, I find it extremely fun to chat to players whether it's in or out of class. The bond we create between each other is definitely like no other
SnowyKitty: I was a Class Helper for over two years and I've always enjoyed participating in these events. I was promoted the day before, and when I saw that someone needed a cover, I jumped on it as soon as I could. Expect to see me teaching in any upcoming class events.![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Overall, the 12 Hours of Classes was a huge success! Having players participate in classes throughout the day does wonders for community engagement, and it is great to see love being shown to the classes and challenges that make our server so unique. Make sure to give some love to the Academics department for putting this together for players to enjoy, and I hope you consider participating next time around! Happy learning!
