Harry Potter fans can now attend the Czocha College of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The day everyone has been waiting for has finally arrived: We can all attend Hogwarts.

Thanks to a few Polish Harry Potter fans who were determined to take their magical education into their own hands, the College of Wizardry was born. Set in a Polish castle, around 200 LARPers (live-action role players) from 11 countries gathered for a few days in November to experience the first session of Czocha College of Witchcraft and Wizardry.



"Students" are sorted into five houses (Durentius, Faust, Libussa, Molin and Sendivogius) and must complete their S.P.E.L.Ls (Senior Protective Enchanter’s Lifelong License) to pass. The school is filled with a variety of professors, ranging from “bumbling, absent-minded professors with scant memory of their own youth to sharp-tongued young lecturers.”

The second session has been scheduled for April 9-12, 2015, still in Poland, and will cost attendees about $345.

Polish young people are very creative and they have good business taste. I found more about the Czoch castle. It is close to the boarder with Germany and Czech republic and was originally founded by Czech's prince.

It is beautiful and owned by private hotel's company.

For Harry Potter fans, a castle in Czocha in south-western Poland has been transformed into a school of wizardry.

For four days sorcerers are taking part in live action role plays where they can "tame magical creatures in the forest".
