Student's full name: HERMIONE ELIZABETH GRANGER
I'm Hermione Granger, I am eleven years old and I live near Oxford. I have just found out that I am a witch- it's incredibly exciting. Both my parents are dentists, so it was ever such a shock, but they are both very pleased and proud. I am an only child, so I hope they aren't disappointed that I won't be carrying on the next generation of Granger dentists.
I'm lucky to have my birthday in September, otherwise I wouldn't have found out I had been accepted into Hogwarts so soon. Apparently you find out when you're eleven. Fortunately I had the time to do some research into the magical world. I've been to Diagon Alley quite a few times so I can get some experience of the wizarding way of life, and to find books which will help me understand it better. I've already read 'Hogwarts: A History' six times since I bought it, it's absolutely fascinating, I can't wait to go so I can see the castle for myself. I've been practicing a few of the simple spells- although underage witches and wizards aren't allowed to practice magic outside of school, there are a few spells which are deemed suitable for children who have just discovered their magical abilities to practice with.
I can't wait to start learning about magic, the History of Magic classes should be very useful having had no magical upbringing. Charms and Transfiguration sound interesting too, although I am slightly worried about learning to fly on a broom. I've been reading about Defense Against The Dark Arts, it sounds like a useful branch of magic, especially if what I've heard about a wizard called Voldemort is true. He was defeated by Harry Potter, who's my age, when he was just a baby. He must have great magical powers; it would be fascinating to meet him.
I'm looking forward to the sorting ceremony, I'd like to find out what sort of magical qualities I have. Ravenclaw is the house for academic students, I wouldn't mind being put in that house. They all sound very good, though I have heard that Slytherin tends to produce dark wizards.
I really think attending Hogwarts will be a wonderful opportunity and I'm sure I will learn a lot.
