Which school is the Hogwarts for muggles?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Isolated, good academic reputation, snow in the winter, beautiful campus, a great dining hall, crazy about Quidditch (football), next to a lake, and magical: I vote Notre Dame!</p>

2

<p>Princeton: has its own train to campus (the Dinky), amazing Gothic architecture, great dining halls, residential college houses, has its own lake (Lake Carnegie), relatively isolated (though only 45 min drive to Philly or NYC), etc.</p>

3

<p>hmm let’s try Middlebury College</p>

4

<p>Harry Potter sucks.</p>

5

<p>Everyone always says bryn mawr looks like hogwarts. It does have everything you mentioned, including quidditch (LOL). There’s also a hall that is literally called, “The Great Hall.”</p>

<p>If you replace football with hockey, those descriptions fit Cornell pretty well.</p>

<p>Isolated - Ithaca, NY is about 5 hours away from any legitimate city.
Good academic reputation - It is an Ivy after all.
Snow in the winter - Better believe it.
Beautiful campus - They built the school in the middle of nature…
A great dining hall - Risley I hear would fit this.
Crazy about Quidditch (football) - Not football but hockey…hockey is probably more similar to Quidditch anyway in terms of relatively small amount of stoppage in play.
Next to a lake - Cayuga Lake can be seen from the campus
Magical - There is a class called Magical Mushrooms from what I hear.</p>

<p>I heard Yale architecture always reminds people of Hogwarts. Plus they have residential colleges and the annual yale-harvard game.</p>

<p>Also, every college tour I’ve been on except for my state school mentioned how they think their school is like Hogwarts (this includes schools in California, too). It is seriously cliche.</p>

8

<p>I would agree with Notre Dame. There’s also the whole Catholic thing that unites the student body (okay, sorry, only 85% of the student body) sort of like magic.</p>

9

<p>Notre Dame=Hogwarts</p>

<p>I’m sure the Catholics love that.</p>

10

<p>answer is probably one one of the 50000000000 other threads about this crap</p>

11

<p>haha well my school doesn’t look like Hogwarts haha</p>

<p>if anybody’s been to the Cathedral Of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh, that’s as close to Hogwarts as you get haha</p>

12

<p>Christ Church College-Oxford University
University College-Durham
----students live eat (in academic gown) and learn an a 9th century Norman castle</p>

<p>case closed</p>

13

<p>the guys who run the biggest harry potter fansite attend notre dame, so maybe there is some hogwarts quality to it :)</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>We do! And whoever said Harry Potter sucks, they suck. For some people Harry Potter is the only book that actually makes teenagers want to read. Sure isn’t Charles Dickens.</p>

15

<p>I vote for Princeton.</p>

<p>Concerto3- Yep. In fact, [url=<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/harry-potter-27146.html]Emerson[/url”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/harry-potter-27146.html]Emerson[/url</a>] was a CC poster. :)</p>

<p>Really? Hahaha! Was Ben, too?
<em>resists urge to stalk</em></p>

17

<p>I don’t like or follow the Harry Potter series, but I believe “Hogwarts” is actually Christ Church College, Oxford (at least, the Hogwarts dining hall in the movies is actually Christ Church’s dining hall).</p>

18

<p>Cornell, WUSL, Princeton, Duke, Amherst</p>

<p>and to some extent, Brown and Dartmouth</p>

19

<p>“The Great Hall” at Harvard:</p>

<p>Cathedral of Learning at U-Pitt is definitely Hogwarts Pittsburgh.</p>
