Hey Boozers!

If you haven’t heard about the Magical Readathon, you are missing. out. We are so excited to participate.

The thought here is that you have to get a certain grade (A, E, or O) in the topics required for your Magical Career. We all did our OWLs back in April, so we can take our NEWTs now.
