A few years ago I asked my mother if she would allow me to go to Hogwarts if they accepted me. Hogwarts students receive their acceptance letters on their eleventh birthday and I have just celebrated my twentieth, so I have come to grips with the fact that I’m just not magical enough to enter the realm of my favorite school. My mother and father passed on their muggle genes and ruined my future as a wonderful witch. Though this fact has been difficult to swallow I have opted for the next best thing: Oxford. They filmed many of the scenes for the Harry Potter movies at Christ Church at Oxford. J.K. Rowling believes Oxford to be a great representation, with our mere muggle resources, for the mystical world of unicorns, three headed dogs and wizards. The fact that C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien’s and Lewis Carol graduated there is a testament to the magical atmosphere of the college. Many of the inspirations for their mythical worlds derived from their surroundings at Oxford. So I must conclude that Oxford provides some of its own muggle magic. Though it cannot compare with the illustrious Hogwarts, it will have to do.
Isn't Oxford amazing! Did you go to the famous bookstore? I think it is Blackwells. Greg and I went to New York's most famous bookstore called The Strand. It was awesome. A whole floor of early printings and first editions in cases. Very cool. Oh, and the reason you did not receive your invitation to Hogwarts is because of Tyson. You do have magical potential, but they could not risk you in the world of magic with such a dangerous brother.
