Real Hogwarts?
 

Some of my students read somewhere that 2 women are trying to start a school for wizardry- and modeling it on Hogwarts! Huh? Has anyone else heard this?

SIGN ME UP!
 

carnation,
No, I haven't heard of it, but I certainly hope they intend to offer "Continuing Education" classes for those of us who are out of school. Or maybe they'll be an accredited University and I can go there for my Masters? I wonder which house I'd be sorted into? I'd really hope for Ravenclaw.

Well, my kids made me get onto www.harrypotter.com and get sorted! I thought I'd be Ravenclaw too but I'm Gryffindor!

heh i went the harrypotter.com and got sorted into gryffindor as well, i went right after the first movie came out.. can't wait for #2! so sad the man who plays dumbledore died.. i forget his name :confused: but he was also in the lord of the rings.. he had cancer :(

I was placed in Gryffindor too. The actor that played Dumbeldore was Richard Harris, but he wasn't in The Lord of the Rings

I love that web site, too! Am I the only one around here who got put in Slytherin??? :p

i thought he was in the lord of the rings :confused: again, lets blame my stupidity on the 6am posting. fatigue, really. i swear. :D

This site just made my day!!!! I was placed into Gryffindor also!!! I love these books and I can't wait to see the 2nd movie:)

I'm a Hufflepuff girl!

I read all four books and can't wait to see the second movie! I was also sorted into Gryffindor!

I was put into Slytherin, also. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing... :)

I am in Gryffindor!

I'm in Gryffindor, too! :D

I'm in Gryffindor. What does that mean? :confused:

I'm a Gryffindor Girl--which is good b/c I already have a cape with the Gryffindor coat of arms! (son's halloween costume!)

As for the "real" Hogwarts...Oh my, wait until the zealots hear about that...just when you thought it was safe to read children's literature again...this'll get them started condemning us to hell all over again....

I am a Slytherin boy ;) LOL love the website

Ok, so i'd been pretty proud of myself since i'd done a good job of avioding getting into this whole Harry Potter thing. That stuff's for kids, i said.

Well, i'm 4 days into my christmas "vacation" to south dakota, bored off of my mind, and pick up my mom's copy of "The Sorcerer's Stone". Now i haven't slept the past 2 nights because i've been working my way through the 4 books that she has.

I'm starting Goblet of Fire tonight......god i can't wait to get back to Texas.

Oh yeah, and i'm a.....

just like my bud KappaT ;)

KS 361 times i've thought Snape was up to no good

ok... just to see what all this was, i went to the site and got "sorted".

i am sorted to the Ravenclaw... so umm. what does that mean?

Harry Potter and all his buds go to the Hogwarts school for Wizardry. Once they get there as first-years, they are separated into different houses....i.e. fraternities or sororites(;) how i rationalized it to myself)

anyhow, there's four of them Grffyndor, Slytherin, HufflePuff, and Ravenclaw(god i KNOW i spelled some of those wrong). Anyhow, supposedly you are sorted according to your talents. Just be glad you're not Slytherin, they're all up to no good :D

KS 361 times i compared the Slytherins to a fraternity on our campus while i read this

Mess with us, and we'll turn you into a toad! :p

I'm in the Slytherin group also! I wonder why...*innocent smile* http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/ho...rats_slyth.jpg

I have a Mahogany Unicorn Hair wand that is 8 inches along w/a cat named Zeke.

Yes....I did have too much fun on this site.. :)

AggieSigmaNu,

Thanks for the clarification!!! I never got caught up in the Harry Potter thing, so I had no idea what any of this meant.

BTW, I really like your analogy of the different houses like fraternities & sororities, that is cute!

My older sis just graduated from A&M, and she was right, the Aggies are some of the nicest people on earth :)

Richard Harris was in Harry Potter.
Ian McKellan was in Lord of the Rings.
Two different actors entirely, although, yes, they do look similar (especially with all the beard on and what not).

I am a HufflePuff. What do they do?

From the Sorting Hat song:

"You might belong in Gryffindor
Where dwell the brave at heart.
Their daring, nerve and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart

You might belong in Hufflepuff
Where they are just and loyal
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
and unafraid of toil

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw
If you've a ready mind
Where those of wit and learning
Will always find their kind

Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends"

I am 51% Ravenclaw and 49% Slytherin. Don't push it.

How pathetic am I? I also went through the part of the site where you get a wand. Mine's cedar and dragon heartstring, 13 inches.

I loved the Harry Potter books. I can't wait until the 5th book comes out. The 2nd movie was just as good as the 1st. I heard that the guy from Lord of the Rings is going to play Dumbledore in the 3rd movie. Not sure about that though.

Ravenclaw. Yay me. I now feel completely fulfilled. ;)

OMG I think you all just made my morning!!

I am SOOOOOOOO glad that I am not the only person above the age of 10 who went to that site and got sorted!!!


I am a very happy Gryffindor!!! :D

I am Harry Potter obsesed.....
I saw the 2nd movie on opening night with my lil sis and was there an hour before to get in the line to get good seats...
I then took my two real lil sisters ( ages 9 and 12) to see it...i dont think they liked it as much as me...
and then for the 3rd time I persuaded my boyfriend to go see it with me...that was a mission in a half!!!!!...geesh you would think that him being a LOTR fan he would have an appreciation for things containing imagination etc. but NOPE...he laughed at it..whatever it was an accomplishment just to get him there...
only clause in this agreement was I had to go see the new LOTR...it was ok but still not as great as Harry Potter.. :)

As for there being a REAL hogwarts.....I would sign up in a heart beat.....I think it would be amazing...
I heard a rumor that at the train station where they filmed parts for the movies kids would go up to platforms 9 and 10 and try to walk in between or take pictures etc. so they put a sign that says "platform 9 3/4"
LOL not sure if thats true but its sounds cute :D

With any hope the next HP book will be out soon..im only too excited to see whats in store for the next year at Hogwarts

:D:D:D

I have been intrigued...

I found this article..interesting is all I can say

http://www.backwash.com/content_fram...dac29ee33ed59b


copy and paste that address

It's great to meet fellow greeks who are into Harry like I am....I am such a HP freak....and to think I was a skeptic at first.

I was sorted into both gryffindor and Hufflepuff on that site...on others i am always Huffle Puff - that's mee just and loyal!!!

as for a real school...seems a bit odd to me...

I am Griffyndor!! That's where I wanted to be!! :p

Ok...so now i`ve read that article....

I don't see how they reference it to hogwarts or Harry at all...Wicca and other witch religions are totally different the fantasy witch and wizardry we see in movies like HP....It's just different...
And I'm sure things like this witch collegeium have existed before...I mean I've known plenty of ppl who practice Wicca (ok just a handful, but that's more than some ppl know)... Even one of my students claims she is a witch (and backs it up cuz her grandfather was a Shaman) mind you, she takes a lot of crap from other students who just don't understand...

So these ppl have to learn from others, and i'm sure meetings, or collegiums, or whatever you wanna call them are one way of doing it...

Anyway, it just peeves me when ppl like to mix up real magic and movie magic....

I'm still A huge Potter fan either way! (and for others, you may want to check out www.hogwarts-castle.com - it's a cool message board)

Jen

i'm not alone!
 

I'm so glad to see others who like Harry Potter so much. I myself am totally obsessed and am reading Goblet of Fire for the fifth time right now.

Is there anyone from here that's a part of Harry Potter for Grown Ups? I just lurk there, but they have over 5000 members! I also check the Leaky Cauldron daily for news of the books and movies.

Since reviving threads seems to be all the vogue these days......

for the Harry Potter fans out there, check out this thread on my other forum. A couple of HP experts are speculating on the future of the series. Pretty good stuff.
