With the advent of Pottermore, a Harry Potter-universe RP seems a lot easier now, doesn't it? I find it a fantastic way to see what specific wand one gets and also what House to be sorted in(especially because that test is really hard to cheat, imo).
Not sure how many people should be in, or even what the plot should be, but that's what discussions are for, no? At this point, I don't even think there needs to be a "major" plot, other than just following the adventures of us during the school year. Add a few events in so it won't be stale, and we have -something- to work with.
EDIT: It is perfectly fine to have two characters for this RP, as it is a school with around a thousand students, if Pottermore and the HP Wikia serve me correctly. It also remedies the problem of there being a TON of people in one RP. But, you don't HAVE to have two charries, either. You can have just one~

That's about all I can think of for this. If you can think of anything else that needs to be here, let me know. Here's mine, btw:
Name: Darius Gray
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Height/Weight: 5'9", 149 lbs
Hair: That weird area between short and medium in length. A coppery-brown.
Eyes: Blue-grey.
Clothes: Faded jeans and a black t-shirt. Very casual.
Personality: Overall, Darius is a pretty nice guy, but the majority of his fellow Slytherins don't appreciate it. As such, he's grown used to acting cold and indifferent when they are around, but will instantly revert to his normal self the moment they're gone - his method of coping because he really hates disappointing people. Not to say that he's constantly seeking approval, but he just wants everyone to be happy, even if it means the cost of his own.
House: Slytherin
Wand: Ebony with unicorn hair core, ten inches, surprisingly swishy.
Pet: A male Siamese cat named Agamemnon.
Family: Emilia Gray(mother), Gideon(father), Eris(older sister, also Slytherin)
Love Interests: None, atm.
History: Darius wasn't a pureblood, but he wasn't half-blood either - a threequarterblood if you will - but just saying "wizard" was much simpler. Darius learned early on at Hogwarts that being a nice Slytherin wasn't exactly smiled upon. The other Slytherins had such a high-valued image of purity and power, it was a stark contrast to his laid-back nature and good demeanor. Taking on the persona of a heartless, uncaring individual around his fellow housemates, Darius found it very hard to make any friends outside or even inside Slytherin.
Classes: Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration; Electives: Care of Magical Creatures, Divination

Here's the profile for his sister, Eris, as she will be making a few(very brief appearances):
Name: Eris Gray
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Height/Weight: 5'11/ 135 lbs
Hair: Black as sin(and boy, does she sin), cropped short
Eyes: Very, very green, almost dripping with venom.
Clothes: A black corset with a matching ruffled dress, knee-high heeled black boots with multiple buckles
Personality: Eris is the antithesis to her younger brother Darius, in virtually every sense of the word. She views everyone around her as nothing more than tools to further herself, and surprisingly enough, there are people willing to help her in that. Eris is pretty calm in most situations, but is quick to anger when something doesn't go her way. She's quite the collector of rare and/or expensive things, taking no pains to hide them from others; as such, she thoroughly enjoys inspiring envy in others. Also very narcissistic.
House: Slytherin
Wand: Rowan with dragon heartsrting core, fourteen and a quarter inches, reasonably supple.
Pet: A male black cat named Balberith.
Family: Darius(brother), Emilia(mother), Gideon(father)
Love Interests: Herself >>
History: Eris has always been incredibly competitive and manipulative in order to win. Her ambitions are incredibly high yet surprisingly simple: to be the best duelist there is, even if it means using subtle manipulation and psychological warfare, maybe even a severe curse or several. It could almost be said that she was destined to be a Slytherin, as she embodied almost every negative aspect of the House that existed, with very few to none of the good traits. She was almost the sole cause for Darius' "split personality", as she was clearly the leader of the Slytherins that constantly attacked him for being nice to non-Slytherins. Out of the immediate family, Eris is the only one that embraces the Slytherin creed; her parents are a nice medium between her and her brother, leaning more towards Darius' side.
During her childhood, she was spoiled with lavish gifts and the like, which Darius didn't care for. She finds her brother's natural laid-back attitude to mean that he feels superior to everyone, so it's up to her to put him in his place. Eris is also on the Slytherin Quidditch team as a Beater, and her skills at nonverbal spells(though she can only cast about two nonverbally) helped her hex her team's way towards victory on several occasions.
Classes: Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, Potions, Transfiguration; Electives: Apparition
