Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Dear Harry,

My name is Albus Dumbledore and I am the headteacher of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. My amazing school needs you Harry; you are what is missing from Hogwarts!

Firstly, did you know that you are a wizard? Yes, that’s right, a wizard. Have you ever wondered why you were able to create something happening from just your thoughts? Have you ever asked yourself how you have the unique and astounding ability to talk to snakes? Already I can see that you have these higher order skills. Not everyone has these; you are unique and one of a kind. You see Harry; you are now at the beginning of your life as a powerful and majestic wizard. I can see this potential in you and that is why you must come to Hogwarts where we will nurture and encourage your life-changing talents so they grow and develop.

Furthermore, at Hogwarts we care about each and every one of our students. We are a family at Hogwarts. A happy family. Every pupil, every teacher, every ghost and even the caretaker agree that Hogwarts is the most precious of families. An exceptional family where everyone feels like they belong, feels included and, most importantly, feels special. Do you crave those feelings Harry? I expect you do because you have been missing out over the last eleven years. Come to Hogwarts. Your friends are here waiting for you. You will fit in, be accepted and flourish in a secure and stable environment filled with mutual respect - I promise you.

Lastly, at Hogwarts, we have the most eclectic and wonderful teachers. Those teachers, who take time to get to know you Harry, will encourage and extend your skills and abilities so that you can fulfil your potential of being the best wizard you can be. In addition, you will have the most extraordinary lessons where you will learn all you need to develop your knowledge and understanding of the magical world. I can see the goodness in you Harry; you will be a true wizard leader in the future. Other wizards and witches will look up to you; admire and respect you; listen to your every word and here at Hogwarts, we will empower you and provide you with the skills to go out and lead our wizarding nation to glory and victory!

In summary, Hogwarts is the only school for you Harry. You are the missing piece of our jigsaw. You won’t ever regret choosing us – we know we won’t regret ever inviting you.

Yours in hope and magic,

Mr A. Dumbledore
