Dearest Reader,

So you're a wizard. You really are. When you found out, you were shocked, relieved, and filled with a kind of joy that feels better than drinking your first sip of Pumpkin Juice (spoiler alert, that's in the book). You are ecstatic, but don't know what to do! This book will show you what I did when I found out about my magical abilities, and what you should and should not do. What makes me the expert? I've been in your shoes, I know what it's like to be confused, stumped about what to do with your life. I know the temptation of wanting to transfigure that bully down the street into a pair of socks. I know what that first email is like from Hogwarts is Here when you've been accepted. That makes me a total expert. When you're learned and experienced, maybe you can write a book too! 

Sincerely,

N.H.
