Welcome students new and old! I am Professor Kiari Dyreth. Today we will be reviewing all you have learned about Transfiguration before we move on and tackle more advanced lessons.

For those of you who are new to Hogwarts we will help you get started in mastering this handy and often amusing wizarding skill. It will take hard work and concentration but I'm sure you will all do well in my class.

As for our returning students today's lesson will give me a chance to assess you skills and learn which areas of Transfiguration you have already covered.

Please take you seats and class will begin shortly.
