Hogwarts Becomes a Reality

Holy Hogwarts! The world’s first university of magic is set to open this November. Located in Kolkata, India, the school is the brainchild of magician P.C. Sorcar Jr. That’s the same guy who once made the Taj Mahal seem to vanish, so it’s got to be good.
 

Classes will fall under categories including psychology, acting, mechanics and lighting. After completing the program, graduate students will be awarded a Masters of Illusion masters degree.
 

“We will select witty students with good IQ and those who will benefit the society rather than harm it,” Sorcar said in a Press Trust of India article. Whew! Potterheads know that when magic falls into the wrong hands, there’s the potential for a Dark Lord disaster.
 

So, fortunately, not just anyone can attend the school. Sorcar maintains that candidates will be put through “thorough scrutiny.”
 

But what might this scrutiny look like? My guess is an application full of probing questions, such as, “Tell us about a time you felt invisible, and what you did about it” and “Happiness is an illusion. Discuss.”
 

One thing I’m certain about: the school will have no problem making tuition money disappear.
