Hey guys! I'm super fascinated by the whole Hogwarts vibe (thank you, Harry Potter) and I was wondering if there are any boarding schools in England that offer a similar experience. I mean, in terms of architecture, traditions, and maybe even some cool extracurriculars... Does anyone know of such schools, or have any of you attended one that just felt like you were in a magic castle?
Hey there! I totally get the fascination with Hogwarts – those grand halls and mysterious corners are part of the magic of Harry Potter. My niece studied at a boarding school in England, and while it wasn't exactly Hogwarts, there are schools like Eton College and Harrow School that have stunning architecture and a sense of tradition. They have longstanding customs, beautiful old buildings, and a wide range of extracurricular activities, which, while not magical in the literal sense, are pretty enchanting in their own right.
The house system is also a common feature, much like the Hogwarts houses, fostering a sense of camaraderie and competition. Plus, the beautiful countryside around some of these schools really gives off that 'magical' feeling. However, keep in mind that the actual academic and extracurricular experience is going to be rooted in real-world education – albeit with a classical charm to it!
