September means a new issue of SOUP, and we're here with a fun and nostalgic theme for this month. On September 1st, the Hogwarts Express leaves at precisely 11 o'clock, so what better way to reflect on a new school year than by hopping aboard the famous train!
This month's issue is all about everyone's favorite locomotive and the new beginnings it can spark in all of us. We have a wonderful poem to remind you of the magic of arriving at Hogwarts, an interactive story styled after Mad Libs, and so much more. Legends Among Us has also returned, and with it a very special, and epic, Slytherin member as its focus. Pack up your trunks and get ready to cross the barrier between platforms nine and ten.
Boarding the train can be an emotional experience. Parents and family waving goodbye, the anxieties of starting a new term, finding old friends, --or should it be your first year, making new ones. Through it all, the train can bring a feeling of peace once everyone has settled down for the ride. And who could forget the excitement of watching the Trolley Witch roll to a stop at your compartment's door, an abundance of sweets in her possession. The new term is here, but before we arrive at Hogwarts let's reminisce on the adventures that lead us there.
No point to dawdle any longer. Find a friend and choose a compartment to start your journey!
Until next month,
Nikky & Janelle
