The Hogwarts acceptance letter was a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry, sent to British wizards and witches prior to their first year at
Hogwarts. A special quill existed, which wrote down the name of every magical child in
Britain at the time of their birth. This allowed Hogwarts letters to be sent to all magical
children at the appropriate time
The Hogwarts Express was the name of the train that ran between London King's Cross Station Platform 9¾ and Hogsmeade station. It made this run about six times a year,
maybe more, as needed. It also made the run back again to London at the end of term in June.
Quidditch (formerly known as Kwidditch and Cuaditch) was a wizarding sport played on broomsticks. It was the most popular game and most well-known game among wizards
and witches, and, according to Rubeus Hagrid, the equivalent to Muggles' passion for football
“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure”
“If you want to know what a man’s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his
equals”
“The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing and should therefore be treated with great caution”
