After you have finished the rules quiz and have been put into a family, you will spawn inside your family home. Firstly you will have to find your way outside, and then follow the signs towards the Knight Bus. Once you reach the Knight Bus, right-click Stan Shunpike and accept the quest **Next stop, the Leaky Cauldron**. From there you walk up to the 2nd floor of the Knight Bus and it will take you to the Leaky Cauldron. From here head straight through the Leaky Cauldron and out the back door marked *Diagon Alley Entrance*. To open the wall into Diagon Alley, right click the middle block on the brick wall. You can now walk through to Diagon Alley, but **be very careful not to get stuck in the wall!**

### **Getting your supplies**

When you walk through the brick wall, you will be greeted by a witch. If you do not see her immediately, click the summon sign so she comes back. Now, right click her and accept the quest **First Year Supply List**. To get these supplies turn right and enter the shop *Flourish and Blotts*. Then go to the counter and open the store by right-clicking the sign saying [DAShop].

**You will need to purchase the following books (and these are the only ones you need to finish this quest):**

* Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration (10G)
* Magical Draughts and Potions (10G)
* Guide to Self-Protection Year 1 (10G)
* The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1 (10G)

Once you have finished this quest it's time to get you wand.

### **Getting a wand**

After finishing the quest **First year Supply List**, walk to the white building (Gringotts) at the end of Diagon, then turn right and walk all the way to Ollivanders at the very end. From here, go inside and right-click Ollivander and accept the quest **Your very first wand!** After accepting the quest, go outside at the back of his shop and down into the mine. In the mine, collect **1 [Wand Core]**. Then exit the mine and locate the tree that gives **Dark Oak Wood** and collect one of this too. Then, head back inside and give him the **[Wand Core]** and then the **Dark Oak Wood** by holding it in your hand while clicking him. After this the wand menu will open and you need to choose a wand. Now hold the wand in your hand and left click with it. Now, if it breaks, **"Click here"** will appear in chat, click it to choose a new wand and try again. Once you get a wand that creates sparks when you left click it, it has chosen you and that is your wand. Now it's time to get to Hogwarts!

### **Getting to Hogwarts**

First off you need to head back to the Diagon entrance wall and click the **Apparate back to London** sign. Once you click this you will be teleported to the street outside the Leaky Cauldron. From here, follow the glowstone to **King's Cross Station**. Once you get there, head inside and locate platforms 9 and 10 and take a run at the wall in between them. You're now at platform 9 3/4! Go aboard and sit down in the carriage. When you've now arrived at Hogsmeade Station, you'll need to exit the train, take a right turn and follow up the path up the hill. Now, turn left and walk all the way until you see a sign that says **First Years This Way**, and turn left where it points to. Follow this path and you'll arrive at the Boatdocks. Once there, talk to **Hagrid** and accept the quest **To Hogwarts!** Once you've done this walk on the dock on the right of Hagrid and get on the 2nd boat on the left.

### **Arriving at Hogwarts**

The boat will now have taken you across the Black Lake to the Boathouse. Here you'll need to talk to **Professor McGonagall** and accept the quest **The Greatest of Halls**. Next, walk all the way up the stairs and then towards the castle. Walk up the entrance and enter the Great Hall. Walk straight ahead all the way to the Sorting Hat and sit down on the chair to start the sorting quiz! Once finished with the quiz the hat will place you into a house and you can make your way to the common room. After this there are tons of things to do, including exploring, doing quests, attending classes and make friends!
