First Impressions & Appearance - (Out of 20)
-Not a big fan of the portal as the homepage. There really isn't a point. The only useful widgets on the portal are the newsbar and the house points box. It's kind of annoying, doesn't look nice, and seems like an imposition when I just want to get to the forum.
-The scrolling news bar is very useful. It broadcasts news for current members, and highlights features for potential reasons.
-I like the theme. It looks pretty good. The overall look of the forum is good. However, even though I like the theme, I don't think it really fits Hogwarts as a whole. It feels kind of just like Snape's dungeon. It is just plain dark, where as Hogwarts is a bright and cheery place. I like the theme, but I am just saying if you want it to fit Hogwarts 100%, consider a change.

Site Layout - (Out of 20)
-Well the portal counts on this section, and like I said before, I think it should go. It is not really that useful, and members want to get to the forum.
-I do not think that the last four forums need their own categories. They could all be condensed into one or two categories.
-Other than that, the organization of the forum is good. I wouldn't have done it any other way myself.

Staff Moderation - (Out of 20)
-If I'm not mistaken, Albus Dumbledore has two teaching positions. He doesn't have a time turner, so he can't be in two places at once...
-From what I have read so far, the teachers and other staff are doing a great job on the forum. Your staff is great.

Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism - (Out of 20)
-I will not point out every error, but you need to go back. Put a space between all periods. Do not capitalize every word in the sentence.
-Under the banner - "Welcome Aboard the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Quills Away and Wands Out." Fixed several spelling errors.
-Dueling - This is how you spelling the word. Fix the name of the forum and the description.
-I suggest getting Firefox or Chrome, both of which spell check automatically.
