    Article by J. Warner

    "Welcome to Hogwarts! At this school of witchcraft and wizardry, magical boys and girls will learn to hone their potential in spell-casting, potion making, divination, and the mystical arts. They will learn how to fly on brooms, play Quidditch, and duel with wands, and they will be taught the proper way to greet a Hippogriff. Students will also be monitored day and night, their actions under constant surveillance. Anyone caught breaking the rules will be disciplined. Punishments can range from a loss of "house points," needed for receipt of the coveted House Cup, to detention, suspension, a revocation of privileges, or even expulsion. Students will also be monitored at all times by the Ministry of Magic, who, through the Improper Use of Magic Office (a division of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement), will make sure that no underage witch or wizard performs magic and that no magic is performed in the presence of Muggles (nonmagical persons). Surveillance, discipline, and conformity: Never forget your place, young witches and wizards!"
