About This Adventure

In Britain, nobody is taught magic before they are twenty-one, and the owl that finds you in Lewisham in July 2001 is three years too late to find you at the house that was keeping you alive. You have a trade, a foreman who respects you, a sixty-foot steel deck at Canary Wharf waiting for you at six tomorrow, and a letter from a school in Scotland that says the rest of your life has already been decided. Hogwarts is a university for adults, the professors have not aged in forty years, and the people who killed your parents have been waiting for you to walk out from under your aunt's roof.
