    These are awesome @HPWUmac thank you!


    I have a boss or two who should be using the Dolores Umbridge background...

    @HPWUmac Would it be inappropriate to use them for teaching online? Asking for a friend.

    @HPWUmac They only seem to save as webpage images, and I don't really want to share them to FB or Twitter. I just want to download the image.

    I will use these for sure; thanks so much! Any chance that we can get the Astronomy Tower one? That one was my favourite. Oh, and Dumbledore's office!


    ETA: I can't download these as image files that I can use. Format is Google WebP and Zoom doesn't recognize them, and I can't get them to open on my Mac at all. What is the secret?

    @VoiceMaster and @SlugAndJiggers Thank you for letting me know; I'll get the photos uploaded as JPGs shortly!

    @VoiceMaster @SlugAndJiggers Meanwhile, you may open the .webp file with a photo editor (I used Paintbrush on Mac/ Paint on Windows), and save the image as JPEG or PNG file. Cheers!

    @hpwulola @HPWUblue It is like a team pile up in here! I imagine you as a bunch of kittens all pouncing on each other!


    It is so nice to see so many of the team active on the forum at the moment!

    @hpwulola Thanks for the jpg files - they're perfect. I appreciate you going to the trouble to provide them. I will be attending tomorrow's Zoom meeting from Honeydukes. :)

    How do I use these as a background?

    @Keybounce It depends on which app you use for video calls. I can show you how to set them as virtual backgrounds on Zoom calls.

    1. Save the backgrounds on your PC/ Laptop
    2. Open the Zoom app and go to settings by tapping the ⚙️icon (top-right corner)
    3. Select Virtual Background option
    4. Add the backgrounds to the list (Add Image)
    5. Select the one you like as your new virtual background

    I hope this helps. Have a magical experience!
