Take Free Online Courses at Hogwarts: Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts & More

free hogwarts courses

A group of ded­i­cat­ed Har­ry Pot­ter fans have cre­at­ed a new edu­ca­tion­al web­site called Hog­warts is Here. The site is free — you only have to spend fake Galleons on the site — and it lets users enroll at the Hog­warts School of Witch­craft and Wiz­ardry and work through a sev­en-year cur­ricu­lum, tak­ing the same cours­es that Har­ry, Ron and Hermione did in the great Har­ry Pot­ter series. The first year con­sists of cours­es that will sound famil­iar to any Har­ry Pot­ter read­er: Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astron­o­my, Her­bol­o­gy, His­to­ry of Mag­ic, and Trans­fig­u­ra­tion. The 9‑week online cours­es fea­ture home­work assign­ment and quizzes. Stu­dents can also read dig­i­tal text­books, such as A Stan­dard Book of Spells and A Begin­ner’s Guide to Trans­fig­u­ra­tion. We have yet to enroll in a course, so we would be curi­ous get your feed­back.

Fans of fan­ta­sy lit­er­a­ture will also want to check out the Tolkien cours­es list­ed in our col­lec­tion of 900 Free Online Cours­es. Also see this com­plete read­ing of The Chron­i­cles of Nar­nia by C.S. Lewis, found in our col­lec­tion of Free Audio Books.

  • Michelle Labovitz says:

    I real­ly think that Potions is a real­ly fun class I know for a fact that all of the stu­dents that go to Hog­warts the most pop­u­lar school in the ntire wiz­ard­ing world think that I’m out of my mind but if I was­n’t in Pro­fes­sor Snape’s class­es then I would nev­er know to brew the Draft of Lubinv Death

  • Michelle Labovitz says:

    If i was­n’t in Pro­fes­sor Snape’s class then I would­n’t know how to make the Wolfs­bain Potin “make it per­fict­ly every mouth so that Pro­fes­sor Lupin does­n’t have to suf­fer as he usal­ly does dur­ing the full moon” if you get my point and as I said before he might hive me real­ly hard Potions but you should know for a fact that I aways recve the tip grades when­ev­er I’m in his class­es and you should know for a fact that I would nev­er joke or lie about some­thing as impor­tant as this even it the stu­dents that go to hog­warts the most pop­u­lar school in the entire wiz­ard­ing world think that I’m mad crazy gone out of my mind but you should know for a fact that I would nev­er joke or lie about some­thing as impor­tant as this.

  • Michelle Labovitz says:

    If i was a stu­dent at Hog­warts then my favo­rate class would be Defense Against the Dark Arts because I would always pay attion and when­ev­er Pro­fes­sor Lupin gave out any papers I would always “hand them back to him” if you get my point on time and you should know for a fact that I would help any stu­dent that needs it and you should know for a fact that I would nev­er joke or lie about some­thing as impor­tant as this “He’s the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher that I’ve ever had” if you get my point and if any­one says any­thing bad against him there you should know for a fact that there out of there minds and you should know for a fact that I would nev­er joke or lie about sok­me­thing as impor­tant as this!
