I am sorry, but neither I or rhye are interested to restart the community wizard_icontest with the new series of films, because none of us even watched "Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them". I have transfered the ownership to the companion journal wizardiconstuff where the Archives, the Affiliates, the Icon Talent List are listed, and the community will remain available if anyone feels like browsing it again.

If any of you created, or wants to start a community that will focus on challenges for the Fantastic Beasts series, feel free to comment and I will be happy to mention it on this post, and to add it to our Affiliates in hopes that it gets you more participants.

Thank you for all those years of beautful icons!

HIATUS

Hi, my precious members. The lack of participation was very serious for the whole year of 2014; most of the challenges had to be extended, so we have decided to put the community on Hiatus. We will re-start the community for the "Care of Magical Creatures Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them" movie in hopes that it will revive the interest among the Harry Potter Fandom.

In the meantime, if you still want to make Harry Potter related icons, only a few are still active, but you can take a look at our Affilates page to join other communities. (I have recently removed all the icontest communities that were inactive for more than a year to save you some time) Some general icontest communities does accept HP icons when their themes fits, and some of them focus on any actors, so you can also browse the other communities that does not focus on our Fandom.

If you know or maintain an active icontest community, feel free to mention them in the comments of this Hiatus entry even if they are already on our Affiliate page. You can also use a promo banner in your comment if you want.
