Harry and a few other Hogwarts students get selected to be in a student exchange program that takes them to a wizarding school in Illinois (I know, ”exchange program, very original,” you say. But I swear it has a plot, it’s not just because we wanted to get them in America). Join them as they meet new people, visit Chicago, participate in their very first Battle of the Bands contest, and fight the forces of darkness that are beginning to incapacitate certain students and faculty members.

Harry and friends go to their first day of classes at Hogwarts, and get ready to leave for Allteline.

The Hogwarts students arrive at Allteline School of Sorcery, meet some of the people they will be living with while they are there, and look around the school. And some other stuff happens. Because, really, just those things happening would make for a pretty short, boring chapter.

The battle has finally arrived.
