Dear Friends o' Dumbledore's Army,

Blimey, I’m thrilled to tell yeh about a right special evenin’ we’ve got planned fer yeh! We’re bringin’ together some o’ the most fascinatin’ and brilliant creatures in the wizardin’ world fer a VIP experience like no other. Yeh won’t want to miss it!

First up, yeh’ll meet an owl an’ a falcon—majestic, sharp-eyed flyers that’ll be sure to leave yeh in awe. Then there’s the sloth, takin’ life slow an’ steady, remindin’ us all to take a breath now an’ then. Don’t forget the armadillo, armored like a little tank, rollin’ its way into yer hearts.

Fer the more adventurous, we’ve got scorpions, whose tails pack a wallop (don’t worry, I’ll handle ‘em), and a few snakes slitherin’ by to charm yeh with their sly ways.

It’s gonna be a proper magical evening, so bring yer curiosity an’ yer best stories to share!

If yeh don’t have yer tickets yet, what’re yeh waitin’ for? Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime chance to meet these amazin’ creatures up close. Grab yer tickets now before they vanish quicker than a Snitch in a Quidditch final!

Right then, listen up, you lot. The Hog’s Head is spruced up (don’t make a fuss about it), and I suppose I’m ready to put up with your racket for the Yule Ball. Tables are wiped, and the drinks are as good as you’ll get from me—don’t come expecting fancy nonsense. Beer, butterbeer, and mead.

Rules are simple: keep your wands holstered, your goblets upright, and your antics outside. If I catch so much as a whisper of mischief, you’ll find yourself tossed out faster than a niffler's snout finds Galleons.

Come if you’re coming. Don’t make me regret it.

As part of his job he was encouraged to see as much as he could. This website is dedicated to his memory. He took many slides that I still ha...
