Welcome to the second edition of HarryGlots, a fest where we celebrate artworks written in languages other than English. We're returning this spring to enjoy the diversity of the Harry Potter fandom and celebrate the authors whose first language isn't English!
(Read the details below the poster).
Here are the details of the 2025 period:

Ao3 Collection - claiming prompts & submitting works
Discord: dedicated fest server & we also have a channel on the Fest Hub server
Schedule:
Prompting: March 22nd — March 31st
Works due: June 10th
Posting starts: June 17th

Prompting rules:
You can give your prompt in any language, including English. Prompts in English are up for grabs for everyone and can be fulfilled in any language of the creator’s choice. Prompts in a specific language have to be fulfilled in the language they were asked in.
You can submit as many prompts as you want.
The number of prompts will be capped at 150.
Prompting opens on March 22nd and closes March 31st.
Fest rules:
Given the fest main theme, we’ll be accepting only written and recorded works in languages other than English, meaning that fics, translations and podfics are welcome. Art isn’t allowed, unless it’s a comic or a cartoon.
Your work must be written in a language other than English.
All works should be beta read by a native speaker of the language you’re writing in.
All works should be taking place in the Harry Potter universe, including additional franchises such as Fantastic Beasts or The Cursed Child. No crossovers with other fandoms are allowed.
Minimal word count is 500 words, no maximum word count.
All tags are allowed as long as the work is properly tagged.
There’s no cap of claimants per prompt—multiple people can claim one prompt. Claiming will happen through the collection on Ao3.
You can claim a second prompt after you’ve submitted your first work to the collection.
Works are anonymous. Authors are going to be revealed as soon as the posting period is complete.
AI-generated works aren’t allowed and won’t be accepted into the collection. Use of AI-generated images in the work is also forbidden.
Please note that you don’t have to be a native speaker to write in a different language, but all works must be beta read by a native speaker of the language you’re writing in.
Ça n’avait rien à voir avec une secte. C'était juste comme ça que Sirius avait grandi et il était heureux de sa vie. Ensuite, Remus était apparu, et il s'était mis à douter.

「満月前に欲情が強くなるのは知っているだろう?」
「そんなことを知らずにいると思ったのか?」
“You do realise how worked up I get before the full moon, don't you?”
"Do you suppose I would remain unaware of such a thing?"
Dans le monde des sorciers, les âmes-sœurs sont une réalité concrète, mais la preuve n'en apparaît qu'après la mort.
Cela complique les relations entre Harry et Cho, et puis entre Harry et Ginny - et aussi, bien sûr, entre Ron et Hermione.
It's time to officially kick off the fest! We'll spend 12 days marvelling over works written in various languages to celebrate the diversity of the fandom ❤️
Here's the first one:
La galère !
George s’installa dans la salle de classe vide et fixa le tableau noir d’un regard éteint. Une question lancinante tournait en boucle dans son esprit. Mais que lui avait-il pris de s’inscrire en Axiologie Magique Avancée ?
Works are due today—but no worries if you haven't finished your fic. You can still do so by requesting an extension: write to me either through private messages on Tumblr or through the fest Discord server.
Dear participants, I'm going to extend the writing period until the 22nd of June upon noticing many people struggling to finish their fics in time.
This means that you won't need an extension until that specific date, but you can still ask for one and have time till the end of the month to finish the fic.
Updated schedule:
works due: 22nd of June
posting starts: 30th of June
Hiya Harryglots! I have a small update regarding claiming and submitting works.
Claiming
After some debating I decided to scratch claiming altogether since it's too much of a hassle. What does it mean for you? You're not filling in any forms to claim the fic. You write a fic for whatever prompt you chose, and you don't need to inform me what you've picked.
Submitting fest works
When your work is done, please submit it to the collection and fill out the submission form. The submission deadline is June 10th. If you need an extension, please contact me either via Tumblr message box or at lilinsanegoat[at]gmail.com.
Tomorrow is the last day of prompting for the HarryGlots Fest! Get yours in here and check out the submitted prompts gallery!
Claiming will open on April 4th through the Ao3 collection. There will be no cap of claimants per prompts, so don't worry about not getting yours. You can also self-prompt if none of the prompts inspire you!
Hey! We’ve made it to the end of the 2024 edition 💪 Before we move onto the masterlist, I want to say thank you to everyone who participated in the fest, either as a writer, artist, beta or a reader. We’ve got a diverse collection of works in 6 different languages, and I hope you all enjoyed the chance to use a language other than English.
Most of the works were created in French (5) and German (4), then we have Spanish (2) and lone languages such as Polish, Japanese or Latin. We’ve also got six podfics, five of them created by one podficcer who deserves a round of applause 👏
