Why my school is like Hogwarts

I am convinced that the University of Oklahoma is the best school that ever was. I'm also fairly certain that it is the American branch of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Observe...

The Great Reading Room in the OU Library


The Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry


It's any nerd's dream to come here.

Telephone Booths all over campus


Visitor's Entrance to the Ministry of Magic


And then there's just the general architecture


Good thing you aren't accepted into college at age 11, though I admit I was a little disappointed when my acceptance letter did not come by owl.


OU has a Quidditch Team as part of the organization Hogwarts on Campus, a newly formed club. It's only the most wonderful thing that has ever existed. The first meeting nearly a hundred people showed up and were all sorted into the appropriate Houses.


Did I mention we have gargoyles?

Take that Texas.
