      Letter information
      Sender

      Minerva McGonagall

      Addressee

      Young British wizards and witches

      Date of writing

      Around the wizard's eleventh birthday

      Subject

      Confirms a student's acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

      Delivered via

      Owl Post (special messengers or Muggle post in exceptional cases)

      Lily Evans: "It is real, isn't it? It's not a joke? Petunia says you're lying to me. Petunia says there isn't a Hogwarts. It is real, isn't it?"
      Severus Snape: "It's real for us, not for her. But we'll get the letter, you and me."
      Lily and Severus discussing Hogwarts.[src]

      The Hogwarts letter is a letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sent to British wizards and witches prior to their first year at Hogwarts. A special quill exists which writes down the name of every magical child in Britain at the time of their birth, allowing Hogwarts letters to be sent to all magical children at the appropriate time, even those who are Muggle-born. The Hogwarts letter consists of a note of acceptance from the Deputy Headmaster or Headmistress of Hogwarts and a list of required textbooks and materials for the school year.

      Deliverance of the letter

      Multiple letters are delivered to Harry Potter.
      Gcheung28Added by Gcheung28

      The letter is written on parchment paper and delivered to the recipient by owl, except in the case of Muggle-borns and magical children living with Muggles (such as Harry Potter), where the initial acceptance letter is delivered by the regular Muggle post. Hogwarts is able to magically tell whether or not a child has read his or her Hogwarts letter, as evidenced by the bombardment of 4 Privet Drive with letters, despite at least one of them having been opened and read by Vernon and Petunia Dursley.
