Real-life Hogwarts Set to Open in China

2015-08-10 26

It's every Harry Potter fan's dream - a real-life Hogwarts is currently being built in Hebei Province, China.

The enormous new university building in Xinle City features a giant clock tower, staggeringly high castle-style walls and many huge turrets.

The designers say the building is modelled on the architecture of the castles of medieval Europe, rather than Harry Potter's school but it's hard not to see the resemblance.

The university expects to welcome its first students into the new building later this year but there was no word on whether they would be able to study magic or join the Quidditch society.
