 Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts,
Teach us something, please,
Whether we be old and bald
Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling
With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air,
Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us things worth knowing,
Bring back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest,
And learn until our brains all rot.

We’ve all read the books. We’ve all felt the excitement rise as we approach the end of each book, and wondering how in the world this you wizard will defeat the powerful Lord Voldemort. However, have any of you ever wondered if maybe, MAYBE, those books might be real? Oh, of course Lord Voldemort isn’t real; it’d be rather obvious if the same casualties and such were occurring in the real as well as in a book. But what about Hogwarts, the Leaky Cauldron, Diagon Alley, and Gringotts? What is J.K. Rowling, the hailed wordsmith, wrote this book as a sort of a heads-up to young witches and wizards, especially Muggle-borns? And, more importantly, what if YOU were one of those young witches or wizards, unknowingly reading the Harry Potter series, only to receive a letter written in emerald ink saying that you have been accepted in Hogwarts’ School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
For, to the founder Godric Gryffindor, the bravest were
Prized far beyond the rest;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil
For, to the founder Helga Hufflepuff, hard workers were
Most worthy of admission;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
if you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
For, to the founder Rowena Ravenclaw, the cleverest
Would always be the best;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folks use any means
To achieve their ends.
For power-hungry Salazar Slytherin
Loved those of great ambition
