Perhaps it isnt the use of a Chamber of Secrets style skin that makes the forum scream originality (You get knocked down to 3/10 because of the forum theme.). I like the skin it is quite warm and appealing. The layout could do with some work, it all appears a little out of place, i know that having lots of forums can promote diversity but because most are inactive it may be a good idea to originally merge some together? Also whilst viewing the forum home page you could do with reducing the height of your "HogwartsDreamRP News" table to something less obstructing. It takes up too much of the room and is actually deterring away from your actual content.
I like how you have customized some of the more default areas of your Who's Online segment, makes it look a little bit less like InvisionFree which is always a plus. Since your main audience will no doubt be teenagers how about introducing an Arcade into the forums, (I am sure that IF supports this) this should help as an addative to getting members joining.
