Children who have signed up for the Gobstones camp hosted by the Department of Magical Games and Sports and the Hereford Hippogriffs, have received instructions to arrive at the Hereford Hippogriffs Headquarters in Hereford, England, precisely at 9 in the morning. While an unassuming building on the outside, inside you find a large open room with a high ceiling. The floor in the center of the room is set lower than the floor around the walls, and can be reached by walking down one of many sets of three wide, shallow stairs.

Parents can sign their children in with the employee by the door, and come back at the end of the day to retrieve hopefully happy children.

While waiting for everyone to arrive, go ahead and explore--there are championship banners and posters featuring former Hippogriffs players around the room, or you could have a go at the "Mini Billiards" aiming activity set up in the center, lower floor area.

SPOILER!!: Mini Billiards

Need to work on your aim? No problem! Several sets of marbles are arrayed, with target areas marked on the floor. Simply choose a marble, and use it to knock other marbles of the same color scheme into one of the target areas! This game doesn't keep score, but if another player accidentally knocks your color out of the target area, you might want to knock it back in!
