How to become a wizard?

Sadly they stopped licensing true wizardry in 1986, for the obvious reasons. However, now the curse appears to have dissipated, it may be possible to apply in 2012, but it won't be until after the Olympics. If you are in a hurry, you could try out for a warlock, but you better have a lot of money for that because of all the exams, and the continuing worldwide shortage of newts means many of the ingredients for spells are pound for pound more expensive than gold. They say you could use toads as a replacement, but trust me, you don't want to try that. I know a guy who did and he still hasn't found his left kneecap. That was in 2003, so you have been warned!
