Unfogging the Future is a book on the subject of Divination written by the celebrated Seer, Cassandra Vablatsky, and published by Rumiharts Books.[1] During Harry Potter's time at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the book was a required textbook for students taking Divination studies from third year onwards.

It is a thick, black-bound book and is an ideal guide for those starting Divination, covering basic fortune-telling topics such as the reading of tea leaves, palmistry, crystal ball gazing, and bird entrails.
