-Introductions-

Hello and welcome to the Hogwart’s Entertainment Magazine!  The purpose for this fortnightly issue is simply to entertain all kinds of students at Hogwarts, featuring something for everyone. It costs 2 knuts per six-monthly subscription and 3 for a twelve-month subscription.

First, a little news for this issue:

-We welcome another two writers for this issue; Debanessa Gilson and our first Slytherin, Grace Waterson!

-Altghough it was announced last issue that Katniss Granger would be joining our team, due to real life issues she will be joining in the next issue or the one after that.

-We also welcome a co-editor and gaming column writer, Tali Mere, to our team.

-Sadly our culinary writer Tabitha Lansdale, who was Valerie Portendorfer, has quit the site and magazine, leaving a space open for the writing and presentation of recipes. If you are interested in taking the job, go to the Culinary Section, where you can apply for it.

-The monthly instalments of Serial Story #3, Small Town, Huge Story, and the school Quididitch match, are returning this issue.

-Lilia Le Fay's Serial Story Running Free has been dropped for this issue and possibly the next as she needs to concentrate on a real life book she is writing and felt it was not good enough . If you would like to to return, turn over to the literacy section and vote there.

-The main article is being dropped and incorporated into the HiH section as ideas were running out.

-We have two feature (one-off) articles this issue.

Here is a simple guide to the Magazine:

1.  Main Articles - debates of topics that arise in Hogwarts.

2. HiH Section - covering news of the site and other issues to do with HiH

3. Sports Section - containing Quidditch matches of British League, International and American State Quidditch as well as a school match and a Quidditch player of the issue.

4. Theatrical Section – involving a different Muggle song each time with a karaoke, lyric video and spells + other to adapt it magically and a written scene between second generation characters such as Albus Potter and Rose Weasley with a variety different roles – different each time.

5. Literacy Section – containing writer’s advice, book reviews of both HiH library books and muggle non-fiction books, and three serial stories of which a chapter is released each issue.

6. Fashion Section - complying of two sections, one for the Ladies and one for the Men, presenting the latest fashions to readers and also containing fashion advice.

6. Culinary Section – features a different recipe each issue for culinary enthusiasts to use, involving cooking and cleaning spells as well.

7. Entertainment Section – basically a put-together of columns, jokes, memes and other things to amuse readers light-heartedly.

8. Advertisements – adverts for things in the wizarding world and at Hogwarts.

Lilia Le Fay (Pendragon):

Greetings, Readers.

I am the creator of this magazine, and cover a variety of sections within this, though I receive much help from my brilliant team of writers. The main sections I cover are the Scripts, Musical Numbers, Main Articles and Serial Stories. I also add to the Adverts, Sports Section and Writer’s Advice.

I am a British Girl in her early teens who enjoys Musical Theatre and literature. I also have five non-magical siblings who are all taught at home with me by our parents.

I am so pleased my image of the Magazine has finally come to life, and that you, the reader, may finally enjoy it!
