Preface




To the pure-blood Witch or Wizard, welcome...

The first edition of the Pure-Blood Directory appeared in the early 1930s, written by an anonymous hand, perhaps Cantankerus Nott.

The present author presents this work as a continuation of his noble purpose in maintaining the purity of wizarding blood and the dignity of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.

For reference, this work is assumed to be correct for 1995.
