A real school of Witchcraft and Wizardry exists and it’s holding classes soon

We know you're excited...

You may have thought your chance to join the wizarding world had passed you by once your 11th birthday came and went and there was still no sign of an owl with your letter. But we have some good news for you, there's a Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the UK and it's holding classes soon. The school is located in Herstmonceux Castle, East Sussex, and this April, classes will be held from the 26 to 29 2018 - and it's an all-inclusive experience. The website reads that "you can finally live out your dream of becoming a real life student of magic. The story, characters, props and scenery will bring our school to life and leave you with an unforgettable experience!

"You'll stay for 4 days, full board, and be sorted into your house, take part in lessons, attend a banquet, explore the grounds and meet weird and wonderful creatures. All of this takes place in our enchanting 15th century castle."

And if that's not good enough, wait until you hear about what goes on after class... "The event runs much like a murder mystery. You'll be given a role to play and a story will unfold around you where you have to interact with other characters. "It's just just like being in a movie or video game! We'll provide the robes, so all you'll need is a wand and good humour." If you think this sounds oh-so-great, you can check out more here.
