By now you all know the tale of Hairy Otter, the boy who gived, but that is only a minuscule part of the great and magical history of the otter wizarding world and the magical school of Ottwarts! Behold, a never before heard tale of the otter world, one of Merlin, the greatest otter wizard of all time, fabled keeper of the magic sword Ottscalibur and advisor of the King of Ottland, who had many fintastic fish and colorful cockatiels as pets.
Back in the days of Merlin, magic was passed down from otter family to otter family, and therefore no one otter wizard knew the same spells as the other. Merlin, being a young but brilliant otter wizard in his own right, was able to learn a spell by seeing it in action only once. In doing so his reputation grew and he decide to create a book with all the spells he had learned from other otters, so that little otter witches and wizards could have easy access to as many otter spells as possible, kickstarting magic education in England long before the establishment of Ottwarts.
Fun otter fact: Sea otters are known to hold hands with each other as they nap so they don't float away. They often create 'rafts' of sea otters, or numerous otters connected to each other while holding their hands.
This otter is really confused as to why he looks so big in this mirror, while the seal is absolutely confused for the opposite reasons. Regardless, both are incredibly cute in their otter confusion which makes more adorableness for us.
