I have some very good news for all of you Harry Potter fans out
there…and let’s face it – who isn’t a Harry Potter fan? If you thought
your adventure with Hogwarts was all over when you finished reading Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows
for the seventh time or when you got back into your car after visiting
the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, there is hope on the horizon for
you.
If you’ve read the books, (and most of us have read the books…once or
twice) than you know how easy it was to place yourself alongside Harry
and Co. A testament to the prose skills of J.K. Rowling, it didn’t take
many pages at all before you actually felt like you were sitting in
class with Hermione, or soaring over the Quidditch field with Harry and
the rest of the Gryffindor team. In short, we all felt like we were
vicariously studying at Hogwarts as well. Well now, fans don’t have to
live through Harry and his friends any longer, because they can enroll themselves into online classes at Hogwarts this very moment.

Whoever is behind this website (it’s not J.K. Rowling or Warner
Bros.) has done an amazing job of making Hogwarts look like a “real”
online school. After you answer a few questions you get an official
letter of acceptance signed by Professor McGonagall herself. Who
wouldn’t want to frame that and put it on their wall?
Probably a disappointment to some, there is no sorting hat – you have
to choose which house you want to belong to. And after you do that, you
can sign up for your first year of classes. Here’s the neat part – your
classes actually have assignments (essays) you have to complete which
will be graded by someone and sent back to you.
While students won’t actually get to board the Hogwarts Express, this
is just about the closest you can get to actually living out the books.
