00:01Before that day, my life was like anyone else's.
00:05I attended school, did my homework, and sometimes went on holiday with my parents.
00:10That's not to say life was boring.
00:13In fact, strange things often seemed to happen when I was alone.
00:19When I told my parents, they laughed and said I must be seeing things.
00:24It's alright if they don't believe me, but I know what I saw.
00:27And then the letter arrived, and everything changed forever.
00:31What was that?
00:33Hello?
00:34Oh, Caliphan Corgans, what a small room.
00:41Who are you?
00:46Rubius Hagrid, at your service.
00:49Don't be nervous, I'm only here to deliver this.
00:54This is for you.
01:11Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
01:14That's right, you're going to study magic.
01:18The very next day, we went to dive in a lot of different classes.
01:23Hagrid said he doesn't escort every first-year student.
01:28But because a muggle woman, he thought I'd need the help.
01:31And he was right, I didn't even know what a muggle was.
01:34We travelled all the way on Hagrid's flying motorbike, and the experience was unforgettable.
01:39Hmm, looks like I drove a little too fast for you.
01:43Oh, let's have a look at your list then.
01:51All right, I'm ready for those at the end.
01:55Oh, I need the money.
02:02Sorry.
02:04Oh.
02:06Oh.
02:21Grazie a tutti.
02:50Grazie a tutti.
03:34Grazie a tutti.
03:38Grazie a tutti.
04:02Grazie a tutti.
04:06Oh, young wizard.
04:08There is something familiar about you.
04:16Let me think.
04:19This wand may be suitable for you.
04:26Well, give it a wave.
04:48Apparently not.
05:03Come, try out this wand.
05:22Oh, my God.
05:25Oh, my God.
05:48For the journey home, I could have had quite a bit of trouble starting motorbike.
05:55So, we use Mogul transportation instead.
05:58I think Hagrid quite enjoyed riding the tube, even if he was a bit cramped.
06:10See you at Hogwarts.
06:13After that, the holiday flew by until finally it was time to start school.
06:19platform nine, platform nine, platform nine, platform nine and three quarters.
06:27That can't be right.
06:29Could it be a misprint?
06:31I hope I hope I don't miss the train.
06:33I hope I don't miss the train.
06:33Let me guess.
06:34You're looking for platform nine and three quarters?
06:38Yes.
06:39Do you know where it is?
06:40Yes.
06:40I do, in fact.
06:42Just run straight ahead of the barrier between platforms nine and ten.
06:45Go ahead.
06:46Close your eyes if you're nervous.
06:50Don't be scared.
06:52You'll be fine.
07:17It worked.
07:19I boarded the train just before it was detailing and found a seat.
07:29Soon, the scenery outside the window began to speed past, and I finally started to relax.
07:51It was amazing.
07:53Like nothing I'd ever seen.
07:55There was singing, floating candles, a ceiling that looked just like the night sky, and ghosts.
08:03And finally, Headmistress McGonagall spoke to everyone.
08:07Welcome to Hogwarts.
08:09Before we begin, I've been advised by Mr. Finch that a rather grumpy ghoul has taken up residence in an
08:17empty classroom on the third floor.
08:19Best to steer clear until fair their notice.
08:23When I first became Headmistress, barely four months had passed since the Battle of Hogwarts.
08:30Since Lord Voldemort and his followers were defeated, thanks to the combined efforts of many heroic witches and wizards, forest
08:39dwellers and house elves, and students, much like yourselves.
08:45Hopefully, none of you will ever face such evil.
08:50But should challenges arise, know that together you are capable of much more than you might think.
08:57Now, to those feeling overwhelmed by the occasion, remember that even Harry Potter once stood where you do, looking every
09:07bit as nervous, I might add.
09:18I know you're all starving, but first we must see to the sorting of our newest students into their houses.
09:26This is very important, as your house will be akin to your family while you are at Hogwarts.
09:32They will share your triumphs and your failures.
09:37Is everyone ready? Yes?
09:40All right, form a line.
09:48Welcome, welcome, one and all.
09:52The show's about to start.
09:57I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat, and it's time to play my part.
10:04You may call me worn and ragged if it's all you truly see.
10:13But listen close and I will tell where you're supposed to be.
10:18Go ahead and try me on, there's nothing left to fear.
10:29I'll find rights where you belong, while looking between your ears.
10:42What a delightful song.
10:44After that, the sorting began proper.
10:51One by one, students were sorted into their houses.
10:55And then, it was my turn.
11:14Oh yes, very interesting.
11:19Plenty of smarts, a bit of bravery too.
11:23There's talent, of course.
11:26And something more.
11:31Where shall I put you?
11:34Where shall I put you?
11:42I will keep you out of the room.
11:52Oh yes, I know.
11:55There's something that's all right.
11:55I'm sorry not to buy you.
11:55Where shall I put you?
12:02There's nothing left before you do?
12:23Grazie a tutti.
12:46Grazie a tutti.
13:21Grazie a tutti.
13:34Grazie a tutti.
13:44Grazie a tutti.
13:53Grazie a tutti.
14:07Grazie a tutti.
15:10Grazie a tutti.
