Actually, not the best, but something near it… According to the recent survey, oh, I am terribly sorry - ranking, Hogwarts - the fictitious school of Harry Potter and his friends, was placed even above Edinburgh’s £23,000-per-year Loretto School. What is more, it scored more than three out of five possible points in all educational categories, I mean studying, atmosphere, discipline.
Already a decade ago J. K. Rowling published Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, the 1st book about a boy wizard and everything has started: awards, popularity, movies, fans, money, regular readers, opponents, admirers… Harry Potter has brought up the whole generation.
Not so far, it turned out that Ms. Rowling made very important studies in medicine, history and magical lore. There was even held a special exhibition, that discovers us the truth and the myths about Harry Potter magic.
For instance, the mandrake - is not a whimsical plant, it’s a real one. Nicholas Flamel did exist and was said to be capable of turning things into gold. He lived during the late 14th century and early 15th century. He was surrounded by myths, one of them is that he finally created the Philosopher’s Stone.
Paracelsus is mentioned as one of the famous wizards and he was a historical figure as well. And it goes without saying that we don’t have to make emphasize on centaurs and unicorns. Even studies at Hogwarts occurred in the same way as alchemy studies.

Hurray, dear friends, now we are able to make an online tour in Hogwarts. I am so glad! I even can’t express my luck to you! Harper Robertson, is not an ordinary girl, she is student from California (studies at Stanford University), most of her life she has been interested in Hogwarts and she made it, I mean she made Hogwarts. One day she just sat down and built it, the same way J.K. Rowling imagines it.
Harper is interested in architecture, her favourite architect is Antonio Gaudi, she was in Europe and saw his masterpieces in Barcelona. Everything started from simply a conversation between friends, then Harper made her mind to draw the Marauder’s Map. Step by step, she decided to make a plan of Hogwarts. It took her 3 years to make a final draft and then a version of Hogwarts. There were 3 drafts. The 2nd draft was created after a year since the 1st was made. To fulfill this task, Harper even succeeded to visit a couple of castles in the UK and examined their floor plans.
Not so far J.K. Rowling made a surprise to Harry Potter fans. She announced to be planning a creation of the 8th Harry Potter book. There is a small chance to meet our favourite heroes one more time. Now Rowling thinks that everything is possible. She perfectly remembers a wise statement: “Never say never!”
Most likely, the 8th book will be a prequel to the entire Harry Potter story. But the author has some doubts, whether this book will be warmly accepted by readers and critics? Or the novel will be killed, the same as it happened with the Star Wars prequels.
While on a press-conference Rowling was very kind and even allowed Harry Potter fans to write sequels to any Harry Potter book or to all of them. She’ll be very glad to enjoy the “continuation” of her stories in the web.
Apart from this, Rowling is planning to release her Encyclopedia on all things Hogwarts in 2 years.
