Q: When is Durmstrang officially closing?
A: December 31, 2019
Q: Why was this decision made?

A: Yes! All Fall Term transfers will be eligible to immediately become a Prefect or Head Student at Hogwarts.

A: Yes, shops can be moved to the UK if you wish, all active shops in Sweden will remain open as RP only areas.
Q: What if there are no comparable positions available?
A: Some positions will not be available immediately, but we will do our best to provide all transfers with a comparable position if possible. Regardless, we will work very hard to make sure everyone is placed in the area that best suits their skill set.
