'Course we have a "Leavers' Assembly" but it's not really a "graduation ceremony".

SS does have the Memory Book though. That kind of gets used like a "graduation ceremony" in some ways. I love that thread, and I think a thread to RP a graduation ceremony that doesn't happen in the UK would take away from the memory book thread.

But hey. That's just my two cents.

I am aware of that, I live in Britain too. But our characters won't get to go to university, Hogwarts is pretty much all the education they'll get, so I thought it would be nice to have a celebration at the end, to gain closure. Also, I think the grand act of Sorting upon arrival deserves an equally grand farewell for the seventh years. I saw the memory book, which is useful in terms of describing your charrie's thoughts before leaving, but you can't interract with other characters, can you? My opinion.
