The setting of this roleplay is very much like the normal Harry Potter universe, but with a slight twist.
The University

The University
- Hogwarts is an University instead of Secondary School.
So the characters are not between the ages of 11 to 17, but rather between the ages of 18 and older. (Depending on which year they are in, at what age they enrolled, if they failed a year, etc. (Of course teachers would likely be older.) - Younger characters (Latvia/Sealand/etc., can be arranged. Since Hogwarts does still have a lower school.)
- This means that all the students will have usually had their basic magic education and that the subjects taught are at a higher level.
- Hogwarts University is open to students from all over world. (If their English isn't up to scratch, a simple spell can always help with that.)
- Since the characters are a little older now they do not have as strict curfews and rules to leave Hogwarts/go to town. They are free to travel to and from the castle, as long as they attend their lessons. (The Forbidden Forest is still off limits of course.)
- Because people might take different courses, their stay at Hogwarts might take longer or shorter. Muggle Studies will likely take less long than Advanced Arithmancy after all.
Going with general university years though, studying would take anywhere between 4 to 6 years. - Beyond this everything in the universe stays more or less the same. This includes the castle, the grounds and pretty much anything that isn't otherwise specified.
