Welcome, welcome, welcome to a place where we promote order in a world filled with mayhem.
Lexicon is the Wikipedia of World of Potter US, written by our own Librarians on-site on various topics around the fandom, including, but not limited to, characters, magical plants and potions, magical objects, and more. Each month, the team will publish this blog, the Lexicon Ledgers, featuring a list of the Lexicon entries created during that month. Whether you are a first-year just starting out with your Transfiguration homework or a recent graduate working on Dragonology, this will be your go-to place whenever you begin something new.

You can complete each challenge, record your proof as suggested, and send it to one of the members of the Library Team. For each challenge completed, you will receive 10 Chocolate Frogs, and the most promising piece of work for each challenge will earn an additional prize, with a shout-out in the following blog. The challenges can vary from lessons to wall posts and even topics. The key is to explore the site as much as you can and make use of the Lexicon while you do. It's there for a reason!
