I study in Hogwarts. Really!

Yes yes YES! My college is Hogwarts (mind you, ‘is Hogwarts’ and not ‘like Hogwarts’). Really! As a kid, when I read Harry Potter for the first time, my feet did levitate above reality for a really long time. I hoped beyond hope generally makes you hope, I wanted that one barn owl to tap on my window; that one brown envelope with the Hogwarts seal; that one news which would confirm my admission in the greatest school of wizardry! And of course, schoolmates like Harry, Ron and Hermione; Professor Dumbledore, Prof McGonagall, Hagrid is pretty rad you know! And so I waited, for that one tap…which never came. *sob*

Life moved on and so did I. But funny thing about dreams and desires, they always stay in the back of your mind. So when I saw Wilson College for the first time, that voice in the back of my head gasped, “Hogwarts!” I was here, I had made it!
“Woohoo!! To all those who said Hogwarts was fiction, up yours retards!”
And I scored.


As the days passed by, I was convinced, this is Hogwarts. Only it was a tad more Mugglish than I had expected it to be. But whatever, life is never what you want it to be. Didn’t they tell you that? Here’s a sneak peek into Hogwarts. (So that you can brag it to your friends you know!)

The Great walls of Hogwarts aka Wilson
This was clicked by a fellow classmate. But damn! It captures the whole magical essence so well!






The Corridor
There has to be an owlery here somewhere...
 
The Great Sea (instead of the lake!)
I have heard them talk about the merpeople that lives in the middle of the sea in hushed tones! The fisherpeople roam around openly and so does the 'cou'ple :D


The Moving Staircase
The only difference from the book is that, this staircase doesn't move. But otherwise it functions pretty well you see.


Our Dumbledore
Prof. Sudhakar Solomon Raj! He needed a muggle disguise to survive in this world, duh!

This is what he looks like now. He keeps up with the times pretty well!

There is many more secrets about my magical wonderland! But some things have to be kept a secret nay?

P.s.:: The following post might have been a little too unreal for the most of you. Well, in my defense, I'm a tad unreal myself and so is BMM. And anyway, reality plays ping-pong with me almost every day of my life. Even the sea kisses the sky at a faraway point, why the heck can't I be unreal then?! Play along, will you?

P.P.S: I don't exaggerate.
