Narrorator: And up until a few weeks ago, this now eleven year old boy had only the regular problems of a child in 1991.
Wayne: Aw, man. (Blowing on a Gameboy)
(an owl comes screeching in and yelling)
Wayne: Uh… Uncle Dave? A bird flew into our living room and dropped a piece of paper that days IM A WIZARD AND I NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL IN ENGLAND?
Uncle Dave: …Uh, what kinda bird?
Wayne: An owl, I think?
Professor McG: Um. Granger, Her…Her-mee-oh-nay?
Wayne: Question. Hypothetical. What if I don’t have enough of a personality for the magic talking hat to sort me? Like…how much authority does this hat really have? Never mind…This [lace is crazy huh? I never thought I’d go to a school in a castle. Pretty cool. I’ve neverr really liked school. People were mean. To me. I’m talking too much. You probably have all your own nervous thoughts going on…Can I tell you something? I think I might be…special? I watch a lot of movies and read lots of books, and it’s like: a normal boy finds out he actually has amazing abilities and is swept away to a new, magical world? Does that sound familiar? Because that is now my ACTUAL life. And THAT kid, through some incredible circumstances always becomes like the most important person. Like in the whole world. A sort of…Chosen One. AHH! Magic is real, and this orphaned boy wizard is ready for seven years of amazing adventures!
Professor McG: Oh. Look. It’s…another one. Um…uh. Student?
Wayne: Wayne Hopkins.
