  Step 1

  Firstly you will need to grab your copy of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone and find the pages which contain all the writing on the letters.
  Or just copy this: Dear (enter name),
  We are pleased to inform you that you have a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Please find enclosed a list of all necessary books and equipment.
  Term begins on 1 September. We await your owl by no later than 31 July.
  Yours sincerely,

  Minerva McGonagall
  Deputy Headmistress

  This will go on your first page.
  You will also need to add:Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore
  (Order of Merlin, First Class, Grand Sorc., Chf. Warlock,
  Supreme Mugwump, International Confed. of Wizards)

  At the top of the letter. But this is optional.

  Step 2

  Next make your equipment page:

  Uniform
  First-year students will require:
  1. Three sets of plain work robes (black)
  2. One plain pointed hat (black) for day wear
  3. One pair of protective gloves (dragon hide or similar)
  4. One winter cloak (black silver fastenings)
  Please note that all pupils’ clothes should carry name tags

  Set Books
  All students should have a copy of each of the following:
  The Standard Book of Spells (Grade 1) by Miranda Goshawk
  A Histroy of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot
  Magical Theory by Adalbert Waffling
  A Beginners Guide to Transfiguration by Emeric Switch
  One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi by Phyllida Spore
  Magical Drafts and Potions by Arsenius Jigger
  Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander
  The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection by Quentin Trimble

  Other Equipment
  1 Wand
  1 Cauldron (pewter, standard size 2)
  1 set glass or crystal phials
  1 telescope
  1 set brass scales

  Students may also bring an owl OR a cat OR a toad

  PARENTS ARE REMINDED THAT FIRST-YEARS
  ARE NOT ALLOWED THEIR OWN BROOMSTICKS

  You could change these if you wanted for a twist.

  Step 3

  Finally the last step is the 'envelope' (It's not much of an envelope more a holder) You could use a real envelope if you wanted.

  Add and 'address' (The Cupboard under the stairs is a little more specific if you wanted to use that. Or wherever the persons room is.)

  Also add the Hogwarts crest in black and white which can easily be found using an images search.

• Step 4

  To finish you could make the paper look old by brushing it with coffee and leaving to drip dry.

Why did you call it the Philosophers stone? I'm not sure if you live in a different country, but in America it is called the Sorcerer's Stone
