According to CAB, October 15th is Harry Potter Night! So, in preparation for this exciting event, here are the reasons why Gettysburg is basically Hogwarts.Â
Glatfelter.
Alright, maybe it’s not an exact match for the immense, gothic icon that houses everyone’s favorite young witches and wizards— but if I get to attend classes in a castle, I’m going to call that castle Hogwarts.
I’m waiting to catch the library stairs moving
All Harry Potter fans know about the mischievous moving staircases of Hogwarts. But look at the stairs in Musselman; they look like they’re just waiting for us to turn our backs.
Ghosts Galore
We may not have our own Peeves, Nearly Headless Nick, or Grey Lady–but you can’t deny that Gettysburg has an ample supply of ghosts running amok.
The Feasts
The process may not be as magical, but Servo will always offer an endless supply of delicious food (plus, there has to be some magic involved when they make those cookies).
First Years
If you see a student wandering around lost on the Gettysburg campus or the Hogwarts grounds, there’s a good chance it’s a First Year.
Candy Stores
Honeydukes or Sweeet!– either way, you’re guaranteed to satisfy your sweet tooth.
We all battle the Dark Lord at the end of each year
Dark Lord is a good metaphor for finals, right?
Let’s all just imagine that our big, orange envelopes were dropped into our mailboxes by owls.
