Dementors are attacking The Three Broomsticks
Dementors Dementing
Britain has been plagued with dementors for many months now and it has been slow progress to cull or control them. The Ministry have not used dementors for Azkaban or for the courts since the end of the last war and these elemental sorts of creatures are hungry.
The
I.D.R.E.A.D (InterDepartmental Response and Engagement Against Dementors) programme is tackling dementor attacks, and the Department of Mysteries has captured one to study with
varying success.
On December 29th 2010, they despatched to Glasgow to find the dementors already dispersing. The behaviour is unusual. On January 5th 2011 they are called to Norwich where a large group of dementors needs to be driven out to sea.
On January 11th 2011,
Elliot Blair is attacked in Muggle London by a lone dementor suspected of low-level feeding off muggle children at a nearby school.
Then January 15th 2011
dementors attack the Three Broomsticks. This attack is unusual, especially as someone blows in the door to the pub to let them in. Something has changed.

Easy Reading
We are considering a small change to our forum themes.
The themes control how the website looks, including font size. Right now, the font size is on the smaller end. As screen resolutions get better, the relative size of fonts to screens gets smaller, which can make reading our wonderful posts more difficult for some people.
