The following are testimonials from just a few of our satisfied customers:

Neville Longbottom of Hogwarts writes: I could barely brew a potion without exploding a cauldron. But thanks to Kwikspell's Practically Painless Potions for Panic-stricken Paroniacs, I'm now able to at least warn everyone to duck and cover. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Argus Filch of Hogwarts writes: I was tired of constantly mopping floors and cleaning up after students. Then, I discovered Kwikspell's course on Maintaining Magical Muggle Machinery. Now, I have my own magical Hoover and life is much easier. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Percy Wetherby of London writes: My cauldron bottom thickness position at the Ministry was getting me nowhere. Not even the book, Prefects Who Gained Power could help. Then, I discovered Kwikspell's book, Previous Prefects Who Were Pompous Prigs, and it changed my life. I've now been promoted to a position on the Minster of Magic's staff. Thank you, Kwikspell!

S. Snape of Hogwarts writes: I was a miserable git with greasy hair. However, I was introduced to Kwikspell's list of Helpful Herbals for Hopelessly Horrid Hair, and now I'm just a miserable git. My hair has never looked better. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Draco Malfoy of Hogwarts writes: I was once turned into a bouncing ferret. Now thanks to Kwikspell's course, Titillating Transfiguration Techniques for Intolerable Toads, I'm now able to relive the experience as often as I like. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Marcus Flint of Hogwarts writes: I had to do a year over at school. Every time people would see me I would hear words such as 'sad' and 'pathetic' thrown my way. Professor Snape even said that there was no hope for me outside Quidditch, and even then, the Chudley Cannons wouldn't take me and they're the worst team in the league. The Dark Lord told me that he didn't want someone who'd been held back in school as a Death Eater, as that wasn't the type of image he wanted to convey to the world. "Extreme evilness only," he said. My life had no direction. After receiving Kwikspell's "A Correspondence Course in Beginner's Magic," I've since realized my dream of becoming a caretaker, just like my mentor Argus Filch. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Gilderoy Lockhart (Five-time winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award) of St. Mungo's writes: I can't remember why I needed Kwikspell, but the nurses all assure me that you've helped me tremendously with my joined-up writing. Now I have plenty of time to sign all of these pictures of this stunningly handsome wizard that I seem to have a lot of lying about. Thank you, Kwikspell!

M. McGonagall of Hogwarts writes: Transfiguring into my animagus form was becoming a nightmare as Filch's cat Mrs. Norris would, well, I'm just not going to go into details. Then I discovered Kwikspell's How to Kindly Knock Off Obnoxious Kneazles. The advice therein was indispensable. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Hermione Granger of Hogwarts writes: Studying for the NEWTs had become a harrowing experience, especially considering I wasn't allowed to keep my time-turner. I just couldn't keep up my usual eight-hour study schedule. Ever since I've read Kwikspell's Super Study Skills for Show-Off Swots, my life has changed for the better. Let's just say that I'm clever enough to have a solid alibi for that missing time-turner incident that made it into The Daily Prophet recently and leave it at that. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Lucius Malfoy of Azkaban writes: Life had been dreadfully dull just sitting in Azkaban, what with no Muggle baiting, trying to kill people, continuing to follow Voldemort as a Death Eater, and spending vast amounts of galleons from my enormous bank account to occupy my time. Kwikspell's Jinxing Journals for Joviality has proved a most pleasant diversion indeed. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle of Hogwarts both write: Um...Hey, Draco, what is Kwikspell anyway? Huh?

Harry Potter of Hogwarts writes: Every year there's been a plot to kill me. This year I found Kwikspell's course on, So You Want To Vanquish Voldemort? I don't know if it will help, but at least I now have plenty of material to use in Divination for predicting my demise. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Sibyll Trelawney of Hogwarts writes: My inner eye was temporarily clouded. However, with Kwikspell's Divining Dreadfully Dull Deaths: How To Discomfit Them, I am now able to ensure that I only see the most horrible deaths imaginable for the futures of all of my students. With that and an endless supply of extraordinarily expensive sherry, how can I go wrong? Thank you, Kwikspell!

Blaise Zabini of Hogwarts writes: People have always had trouble determining my gender. You can imagine the problems it caused every year when dormitory assignments were decided. It was enough already! I finally grew tired of it and used Kwikspell's Sexually Smutty and Fun Diversions for Super, Sexy, Smug, Slytherins. I've now realized that boy or girl, I'm positively gorgeous and everyone wants me. Thank you, Kwikspell!

Ron Weasley of Hogwarts writes: I have a fear of spiders. Kwikspell's Appease Your Arachnophobia Or Become An Appealing Appetizer, unfortunately, has not helped in the slightest. Really, I think it just made things worse. Thank you, but no thank you, Kwikspell!

Kwikspell: Look for the large, glossy, purple envelope with silver lettering on the front!

"Gred."

"Yes, Forge?"

"Seen The Daily Prophet this morning?"

"Oh, indeed I have, Gred. Indeed I have."

"It was one of my more capital business ideas, I must say."

"Quite clever of you, Gred. Really. A merger with Kwikspell. Very clever."

"Say Forge, how long do you expect it will take for us to hear from our testimonial participants?"

"That depends on how many bother to read advertisements, dear brother."

"Kind of hard to miss a full, front page advert wouldn't you say?"

"Yes, I'd rather say it would be, Gred. I'd rather say it would be."


I shamelessly borrowed this idea from JKR. Read chapter eight of CoS if you want JKR's version of Kwikspell and to see exactly which parts I copied verbatim. This is an older fanfic of mine. Yes, I always figured Blaise to be a boy, as every Blaise I’ve ever heard of has been male. However, as it is not a common name in America, and many fics with Blaise are written by the clueless, I had to put in the gender identity crisis for kicks. Blaise is also black, folks- not Italian. Anyway, please read and review.
