I don’t really have time to run an fic-writing event (I have no experience with that), but today I was overcome with Inspiration to design a Harry Potter Worldbuilding Bingo Fic Challenge. So, here are the rough potential categories, subcategories, and specific prompts I came up with today for that (under the cut, based largely on my own interests, I will admit).
Category Example: Crafting and Workmanship
Subcategory Example: Fashion in the Wizarding World
Specific Prompt Examples: A Week of Albus Dumbledore’s Wardrobe Choices OR an Overview of the Best-Dressed Professors and Students of Hogwarts OR Designing New Yule Ball Outfits for Characters
Excerpts of my fav potential specific prompts (from below the cut):
Luna Lovegood and Colin Creevey start a Hogwarts newspaper in their first year (and nobody knows what to do about this)
It’s Card Game Night in Gryffindor Tower (People May Die)
the Seventh-Years of 1992-1993 face their NEWTs with Gilderoy Lockart as their Defense teacher (someone help them)
Hermione tries to discuss university options with Harry and reacts with horror when Harry reveals he had no idea that there were magical universities

voldemort is the best kind of villain, because having a flair for the dramatic and going over the top with every scheme are some of his core character traits
one time i had a dream that my family was at a dinner party with the blacks for some reason and i had to sit next to regulus. in the dream, i didn't know him so i thought he was super boring and quiet but i quickly found out that he was the deadpan chaotic type? like he was constantly muttering absolutely wild stuff under his breath with a completely straight face and whenever that happened i'd look at him like yo tf and he'd just look innocently back at me like he never even said anything. like my guy would just casually refer to large sums of money as "smackarackaroonies" in his ridiculously posh accent with the air of someone discussing the weather and act like it was a completely normal thing to say. i was in tears lmfao
OP YOU MET REGULUS BLACK HOW DOES IT FEEL
forty ninth prompt:
the sword unexpectedly comes to regulus in the cave, but before he can fend off the inferi with it, he’s transported underneath a sheet of ice and into freezing water.
or,
when harry pulls the sword from the frozen river when he’s hunting for horcruxes, regulus is dragged out with it.
Sirius: I do love my brother.
Sirius: All four feet of him.
Regulus: and I despise all 6 feet of you.
Sirius:. Adorable.
While i realize this is not very possible, i just can't shake the idea of feral!regulus and slightlysane!bellatrix going on a horcrux hunt imagine the chaos lmao
the drama 😭😭
i was reading through all the asks of reg surviving the cave and like y'know there's a bunch of fics where he and sirius meet up and they try to get horcruxes safely or whatever but I'm just imagining regulus keeps on doing the most wild stunts and lighting things on fire and going wild and everyone keeps thinking he keeps dying but somehow he's never dead and no one knows what's happening because I saw him die but I also just saw him on the news setting fire to the church of england and i also got a call that the malfoy estate was burned down moony what's happening help
regulus: you should have killed me when you had the chance.
a full set of kids in the 90s.
forty first prompt:
regulus survives and wakes up in the future during one of harry’s years, but at what cost? none were supposed to be able to live past the inferni, and now that he has he has to live with a horrible curse: control of the undead.
