Hi! So I remember there being a Harry Potter-themed game years ago, but I couldn't find it if my life depended on it, so I made a new one! It's mostly similar to a regular year game, except the family is magical. There are also specific categories for most years in Hogwarts, so there's an option to start your family off already having children so the kids are old enough to attend Hogwarts sooner!

---

I hope this is as fun to do as it was to make! :)
Let me know if it's understandable, if you have any questions, or if I've missed something!
