Equipment

Pupils attending Hogwarts are required to purchase the following equipment before arriving at the school for their first year. Details of the items required accompany the letter sent inviting them to attend the school.

Uniform (all items to carry name tags):

Three sets of plain black work robes.
One black pointed hat for day wear.
One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar).
One black winter cloak with silver fastenings.

Black is, therefore, very much the theme. The following books are required for the first year:

The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1) - Miranda Goshawk
A History of Magic - Bathilda Bagshott
Magical Theory – Adalbert Waffling
A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration - Emeric Switch
One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi - Phyllida Spore
Magical Drafts and Potions - Arsenius Jigger
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them - Newt Scamander
The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection - Quentin Trimble

The following additional equipment is also mandatory:

One wand.
One cauldron (pewter, standard size 2).
One set of glass or crystal phials.
One telescope.
One set of brass scales.

In addition to the compulsory equipment, students would be well advised to also invest in:

Quills
Ink
Parchment
Bag
Pencil (or indeed quill) case

Finally, the following items may be brought if desired:

An owl, cat or toad. Rats may also be acceptable (as Ron has one), although this is never stated anywhere.
A broomstick (2nd years and above only).
