Post by Prof. Sky Alton »

The castle has thrown open its doors for another year of learning, magic and fun!
Have you had a chance to peruse the class list yet? We have an amazing selection this term. Are there any that have caught your eye?
Have you got your 5 picked out or are you still trying to decide? Let us know.

There really were so many classes to choose from that intrigued me! But this year I signed up for A Beginner's Guide to Villainy, Magic in Famous Mysteries, Living with Dinosaurs, Chinese Festivals, and Philosophy in Harry Potter.

I also really wanted to take Wand-making, The Unforgivable Curses, and Werewolves 101 but I'll make sure to pick those another time haha. Everything was just seemed like a great class!

- W.O.M.B.A.T.

I've opted for:

Arithmancy 101
Quidditch - The Wizarding Way
Defense Against The Dark Arts
Harry Potter Studies: The Dwellings
and Lesser Known Characters Of Harry Potter

It did take a while (and many shortlists) to narrow it down though, and there's a lot of classes I hope will reappear in future terms so I can take them later on!
