Are you considering a career as an auror? Do you look up to the members of the Order of the Phoenix? Do you wish you had more opportunities to gather with like-minded wizards and witches? We will use the Floo Network to Zoom you into Hogwarts for activities and advanced study, which will include Wands, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Magical Creatures, History of Magic, Herbology, Charms, and more. You’ll have a chance to write for the magical newspaper The Quibbler, which will be published daily, and engage in philosophical discussions of the wizarding world. Students must be familiar with all seven years of Harry Potter’s time at Hogwarts to participate in this advanced camp. We’ll break for lunch and have a short afternoon session.
NOTE: Writers & Books neither condones nor agrees with J.K. Rowling’s transphobic, social, and political views. Our faculty, staff, and students choose to celebrate the magic of the Harry Potter series and claim the stories as our own through critical and creative exploration of the text. Trans Lives Matter.
