Face Claims

Be sure you read this whole post to ensure you are eligible to claim or reserve a face. Let us know if you have any questions!

Claims for Established Characters
You must:
  • Have either an accepted application or, if you are changing your claim, a completed thread.
  • Verify that the Face Claim you want is not taken or reserved.
  • Even if your FC is older than your character, try to find photos of them when they were around the same age as your character. Please do not alter any images of your selected face to make them appear younger or older than they really are. Minor edits are fine, but significant ones are not.
  • Do not request to use any canon HP face claims. That would be confusing.

New Claims:
Code: 
[div style="width:60%; margin:0 auto;"][div class="tcat"]New Face Claim[/div]
[div style="padding:10px;"][b]Character Name:[/b]
[b]Application:[/b]

Reserved Face Claims
Keep these things in mind:
  • Verify that the Face Claim you want is not taken or reserved.
  • If you are a new player and have not officially apped your character, then you may reserve for 2 weeks.
  • If you are an established player with one or more accepted applications, claims expire after one term, or three months. You may not re-claim the same face after it expires; you must app the character and claim once the app is accepted.
  • You may only reserve 2 claims at a time.
  • Even if your FC is older than your character, try to find photos of them when they were around the same age as your character. Please do not alter any images of your selected face to make them appear younger or older than they really are. Minor edits are fine, but significant ones are not.
  • Do not request to use any canon HP face claims. That would be confusing.

Special Requests

Please read the below to find out about the Special Requests you can apply for! If you are not sure if you need one, feel free to reach out to a member of the staff.

Why do I need a special request?
While we want y'all to have a great time on KB and do anything that your brilliant imaginations can come up with, we do have to be sure that our site canon is adhered to.

That said! We are all for hearing your ideas! It's possible we just might add it to the canon!

How do I submit one?
Below is a list of types of special requests that you may submit. If you don't see the type below that you want, please feel free to reach out to a staff member.


Pets [Please fill this form out.]
Hogwarts students may have one pet. The acceptable pets that do not need to be requested are: cats, rats, toads, and owls. Outside of these, here is a list of more unique animals that can also be accepted through a special pet request. When creating this list, animals were considered on the basis of their nature (aggression/overly skittish/required enrichment), the feasibility of suitable indoor housing for such a creature (particularly if they are free to roam), and whether this animal is able to thrive primarily within a closed dorm environment. As such, we will not be accepting requests for pets outside of the ones found on this list at this time; however, amendments may be made in the future.

Allowable Pets With Admin Approval:
  • Spiders
  • Non-Poisonous Small Snakes
  • Kneazle/Cat Hybrids (Due to the aggressive nature of full-bred kneazles, these will not be accepted within the castle for any reason)
  • Puffskeins
  • Fish
  • Gerbils
  • Guinea Pigs
  • Sugar Gliders
  • Pigeons
  • Crows

Plots [Please fill this out.]
The things that automatically need to be requested: death (for characters that are 17 and under, or anyone at the castle), torture, or sexual assault. When you submit these things, please ensure that the requested plot makes sense for your character and you are not just doing this for the shock value. Note: We do have a TW (Trigger Warning) system on the site, so be sure you use it.


Special Abilities (Wandless, Empath, Animagus, etc.) [Please fill this out.]

In order to gain a special ability for your character, you must both meet the requirements outlined for that ability and have the ability unlocked on your Willow. You do not have to wait until both criteria have been met to begin training (with the exception of Legilimency, which requires an application and unlocked Willow branch before applying) as many of these will be considered a work in progress until you are through.

Work in progress abilities may not be used by the character, but it is expected that you will have threads in which your character works at/trains to improve in some way. You alone are responsible for tracking your training and submitting it to the admin team at the end of each term for verification. Once your training has been completed successfully, it will be notated in the registry, and your character will receive a badge indicating their special ability. Please see below for timelines:

Wandless Magic: Three IC years of training, which consists of one thread per term where your character is actively practicing wandless with a professor, WW adult, or through self-study. These threads must follow the 3x4x4 guideline (3 posts of 4 paragraphs, each containing 4 sentences) minimum.

Empath: Three IC years of demonstrated growth and development. This will consist of one thread per term where your character is actively demonstrating this natural gift. These threads must follow the 3x4x4 guideline (3 posts of 4 paragraphs, each containing 4 sentences) minimum.

Animagus: Three IC years of training, which consists of one thread per term where your character is actively practicing and pursuing the ability through self study or under the guidance of a professor/appropriate Ministry official (ie. Magizoologist). These threads must follow the 3x4x4 guideline (3 posts of 4 paragraphs, each containing 4 sentences) minimum.

Legilimens: Three IC years of training, which consists of one thread per term where your character is actively training Legilimens with an appropriate Ministry official (ie. Auror, Unspeakable). These threads must follow the 3x4x4 guideline (3 posts of 4 paragraphs, each containing 4 sentences) minimum.

Occlumency: Three IC years of training, which consists of one thread per term where your character is actively practicing Occlumency under the guidance of a professor or WW adult. These threads must follow the 3x4x4 guideline (3 posts of 4 paragraphs, each containing 4 sentences) minimum.

Special Conditions:

We will consider the following special conditions on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the number of active characters already possessing the condition and plotlines submitted to ensure a maintained balance. We reserve the right to deny any of these conditions at our discretion:
  • Lycanthropy
  • Hybrid Giant/Humans
  • Hybrid Veela/Humans
  • Metamorphmagus
  • Parseltongue

Special Magical Artefacts [Please fill this out.]
While we don’t have an exhaustive list of artefacts we will allow or disallow, we encourage you to speak to the lore admin prior to submitting your special request to see if the artefact would fit within the universe at the given time. From there, we would encourage you to submit your request for a full admin review.

Generally, artefacts that are heavily restricted by the ministry/notably difficult to obtain/unique (It is your own invention or you have tweaked the concept for an artefact already in existence), will require a special artefact request.


Original Spells [Please fill this out.]
Please be sure that you have consulted our Wizarding Guide to Magic before proceeding to this form as spells that are too similar to what we already have are unlikely to be accepted.. In order to use a spell not already found in the guide, it must first be requested. Once all the information is submitted, the spell will be reviewed by the admin for lore/magic system consistency. You'll be contacted once a decision is made, and if accepted, the spell will be added to the guide.


Original Potions [Please fill this out.]
In order to use a potion not already found in the HP canon, it must first be requested. Once all the information is submitted, the potion will be reviewed by the admin for lore/magic system consistency. You'll be contacted once a decision is made, and if accepted, the potion will be added to the magical guide found. Be sure to check the current list before apping a new potion, as potions that are too similar are unlikely to be accepted.

Getting Started

Established in 2025, KnockturnBound.net is the product of friends writing collaboratively as early as 2005 - two decades of storytelling, world-building, and the kind of long-form character drama that keeps you up at 3am to get out just one...more...post.

We are a super welcoming community of nerds from all walks of life, passionate about immersive writing, layered lore, and the chaos of deeply flawed magical people and political games gone sideways.

We adore new faces, old friends, and dynamic character connections. Whether you’re a seasoned plot schemer or just dipping your quill into our world, you’re welcome here.


The Wizarding World, 1921.

The magical world reels from the aftermath of a quiet rebellion. Former Hogwarts Headmaster Nicholas Halloway, once praised for his progressive ideals, now stands as a cautionary tale—a Muggleborn visionary turned extremist whose radical agenda nearly breached the Statute of Secrecy itself.

Over the past decade, Halloway infiltrated the highest levels of magical education, dismantling protective enchantments and preparing to welcome Muggle students into Hogwarts under the Ministry’s nose. With the conspiracy exposed just weeks before his plan came to fruition, arrests have followed swiftly. His allies in education and government are under scrutiny, and the wizarding public is divided—some appalled, others quietly sympathetic.

The Ministry is scrambling to reassert control. Investigations are ongoing. Ancient wards are being reforged, legislation reviewed, and security tightened across Britain’s magical institutions. Hogwarts, now under new leadership, remains under strict Ministry watch.

Trust is shaken. Loyalties are questioned. And as the dust settles, one thing is certain: the line between progress and rebellion has never felt thinner.


The aftermath of Halloway’s exposure was quickly overshadowed by a crisis at Hogwarts itself.

On March 12, 1921, the school carnival descended into chaos when dark magic overwhelmed protective wards, releasing magical creatures and creating panic among students. During the upheaval, three students were abducted and taken to the Dark Tower by Astronomy professor Thayer, a devoted follower of Halloway.

Acting as part of Halloway’s cult, Thayer sought to pressure the Ministry into releasing the former Headmaster. In the tower, the students endured psychological and magical torment, including Imperius and Cruciatus curses, while Hogwarts staff scrambled to regain control.

Intervention by Professors Maddox Barlowe, Gideon Blackwood, Headmistress Ruby Haswell, and Minister of Magic Wylder Merrow led to Thayer’s death, the students’ rescue, and the securing of both the Great Hall and the Dark Tower. Though Hogwarts was stabilized and wards reinforced, the trauma of the events left the school on high alert.

The repercussions of the carnival and Dark Tower ordeal ripple across the Wizarding World. While the Ministry reels from the outrage of Thayer's betrayal and the lack of foresight that led to such a horrific event, Hogwarts under Haswell’s leadership remains under strict observation, and the balance between order and vigilance is fragile.

The rescued students try to move forward with their lives, while the upcoming Wizengamot trials of Barlowe, Haswell, Blackwood, and Merrow over Thayer’s death are expected to examine the decisions made during the crisis.

Thayer’s actions serve as a stark warning: even after the fall of a radical leader, loyal followers can commit acts of terror in their name, and the Wizarding World must remain vigilant against the lingering threat of cult-like devotion.


Our out-of-character calendar is divided into three distinct IC years per real-life year. Yes, we live fast. And dramatically.
  • Year One (IC Sept Y1 – Aug Y2): OOC January – April
  • Year Two (IC Sept Y2 – Aug Y3): OOC May – August
  • Year Three (IC Sept Y3 – Aug Y4): OOC September – December
April, August, and December are our breezy “summer months” where applications open across all boards and plot-lines tend to explode.

Where to Start
We understand how overwhelming joining a site can be, however we have tried to be as concise as possible with the information we compiled.

Site Rules - Yeah, yeah, I know... boring. But we all have to start somewhere, right? And these are actually not that bad!

Site Rating - We are proudly 18+ only, but we do still have some guidelines. Be sure to check them out.

Registration Agreement - Yeah, you read them when you signed up, didn't you? Well, I am linking them here too just to be sure you saw them. And it can be nice to reference every once in a while!

Established Families - To prevent any accidental same-names, please check out our listing of families already in play. You may also contact the associated person to see about joining.

Whomping Willow Exchange - Here on KB, we are using a Skill Tree that we have named the Whomping Willow. At the end of each term, during the summer month (April, August, or December), you are able to spend galleons (ʛ) that you earn with your activity on site. If you do not request a WWE, you will not be able to use magic. So be sure you read all of the information thoroughly.

Special Requests - Before applying, check here to make sure you don't need a special request for something! We try to respond within 72 hours to any and all requests made.

Lexicon - This is Knockturn Bound's wiki. This is a constant work-in-progress.
