"As the summer comes to a close and we prepare together for the coming academic year, I wish to take this opportunity to welcome you all back to Hogwarts. The start of the year is always a special time in the castle, with new students and faculty, new relationships, new scholarship and exciting conversations beginning anew after the summer months. We are fortunate to welcome two new full time faculty members this academic year, whose diverse areas of expertise will build upon the remarkable dedication to excellence that characterizes our Hogwarts community. Our very own Irma Pince, who has returned to us after graduation to dedicate herself to our phenomenal library and to organizing the mess it's become."
