THE QUESTIONS
1. So you've received your Hogwarts letter, and you're off to go shopping at Diagon Alley. Tell us about your wand.
2. Do you bring a pet with you to Hogwarts? If so, what?
3. You've arrived at Hogwarts (or in my case Ilvermorny)! Which houses do you belong to? (Hogwarts and Ilvermorny)
4. Do you try out for your house quidditch team? If so, for what position?
5. Third year rolls around, and it's time to enroll in electives! Pick at least two. Options: Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, and Muggles Studies.
6. Some time passes. Now you've taken your O.W.L.s and it's time to start year six. Which classes do you continue to study (for the N.E.W.T.s)? Your options include the electives you selected in the previous question and the core Hogwarts classes, which are: Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herboloy, History of Magic, Potions, and Transfiguration.
7. It's time to leave Hogwarts and made your way in the wider wizarding world. What do you do from here?
