The Hipworth Family

Rhodri Hipworth

Broomstick Cottages (Hogsmeade)

Apothecary/Potions Shopkeeper

Rhodri is a playable-NPC in Hogsmeade. This means that he is a sim that I have created, lives in a house and owns a business, but I do not actually play him, unless it is to add skills/relationships or progress his business.

Former Ravenclaw and world-renowned Potions expert, Rhodri settled in Hogsmeade to 'retire', but ended up taking over the village's Apothecary and Potions shop. He lives only with his son, Alec, following the death of his wife.

Broomstick Cottages (Hogsmeade)

Ministry Employee

Rhodri is a playable-NPC in Hogsmeade. This means that he is a sim that I have created, lives in a house, but I do not actually play him, unless it is to add skills/relationships. He may potentially be 'partner' material for a playable sim. =)

Alec lives with his father and works in the Ministry of Magic.

The Rush Family

Bernie Rush
Broomstick Cottages (Hogsmeade)
Fishmonger

Bernie is a playable-NPC in Hogsmeade. This means that he is a sim that I have created, lives in a house and owns a business, but I do not actually play him, unless it is to add skills/relationships or progress his business.

Bernie Rush is a mean-spirited and grumpy old man that runs Hogsmeade's fishmongers. He doesn't care much for the students of Hogwarts always invading 'his' village and can often go out of his way to be mean to them. On the other hand, he loves to fish and anyone that might share that hobby of his can be grudgingly welcomed to the ponds behind his shop.

He lives alone in the smaller of the two Broomstick Cottages, opposite the Three Broomsticks Pub.

Hogsmeade - Broomstick Cottages

Broomstick Cottages are two cottages on one lot, just opposite the Three Broomsticks Pub. They are home to three of my p-npcs, Bernie Rush, Rhodri Hipworth and Alec Hipworth.

 Both are very small, modest buildings.

The house on the left is home to the Hipworths and the right home to Bernie Rush, although in practice, on the rare occasion this family is played, they act as one household, sharing belongings and meals.

The ground floor of both cottages is just a small kitchen. Two outhouses sit behind the cottages as neither have indoor toilets. In both cottages, the upstairs are reached by external ladders.

 The first floor of the Hipworth cottage has Alec's bedroom and another room which is pretty empty and just used as a thoroughfare. The Rush cottage has Bernie's bedroom on this floor.

On the top floor of the Hipworth cottage is Rhodri's room, which also has his bath. Bernie's cottage has a bath and dresser on the top floor.
