This article works in conjunction with the Glossary. While the Glossary provides direct translations of Harry Potter words to Bravely Ignorant words, this Encyclopaedia will provide more definition to some of our concepts, the ones that don't come straight from the Harry-verse.

It is a work in progress and will be updated frequently, as with most other articles. If you see something you need that has been left out, PM an admin.

The Grinding Floor: The Grinding Floor, being a tower, really more resembles a pepper grinder. As time passes, the tower slowly rotates, opening and closing holes in the floor at random intervals. Anything (or anybody) that has the misfortune to fall into one of these holes falls into the rotating mechanism, which crushes them to a fine paste. It's a slow and very painful death, one that many people have fallen victim to. Because of this, all students in Grinding Floor House have moved out of their tower and into the dormitories of other students, or sometimes just a staircase somewhere. The Grinding Floor is a very dangerous place, and truly only for those who are brave enough, or are making a suicide attempt.

MagiDrive: This is a device that can be retrofitted to more or less any Muggle electronic device, with the result that the device functions perfectly near magic. It's a very expensive bit of technology, however...

Prefect Badges: These are what give the Prefects their powers. They are about 2cm high, silver, and ornately carved to a letter P shape. While someone has this badge on their person, they have all the powers of a prefect (namely, to award or deduct House Points), despite what any paperwork might say.

Subla Needlessgore: Needlessgore is the Headmaster of the school. However, he is highly germaphobic, to the point where he no longer leaves his office. Instead, he communicates with the school via an elaborate system of surveilence cameras and microphones - the cost of these ios one of the many reasons the school so often seems to be broke. The cameras cover every corner of the school, so in theory, Subla sees all. In reality, he sleeps a lot of the time, so just tends to watch the really juicy bits. Also his equiptment is prone to failure, so he may not take the full meaning of something he sees or hears. More information on Subla can be found in his bio, here.
