With her pink dresses, glass slippers, and devotion to good deeds, she knows she’ll earn top marks at the School for Good and graduate as a storybook princess. As the most beautiful girl in Gavaldon, Sophie has dreamed of being kidnapped into an enchanted world her whole life. This year, best friends Sophie and Agatha are about to discover where all the lost children go: the fabled School for Good & Evil, where ordinary boys and girls are trained to be fairy tale heroes and villains. An opposing pair, plucked from youth and spirited away. The other was homely and odd, an outcast from birth. One was always beautiful and good, the child every parent wanted as their own. But if at first the choices seemed random, soon the pattern became clear. Some years it was two boys taken, some years two girls, sometimes one of each. The first kidnappings happened two hundred years before. The School for Good and Evil (3 books in 1 by Soman Chainani) I was thoroughly tempted to put the Magic School Bus on this list, be thankful that I refrained 😉 So what are you waiting for, you better get started on these before the semester becomes crazy!
THE SCHOOL OF MAGIC SERIES
So if you enjoyed reading Harry Potter, or perhaps you’re more like me and never did but kind of wish you had, then this blog post is for you! We’ve handpicked a range of series and standalone novels whose stories are set at magical schools. An odd premise for sure, but one that seems to have captured the hearts of nearly everyone around the globe. Nevertheless, I can see the appeal of a story that follows our chosen hero, destined to save the world, on their magical journey through school. I’m honestly not sure why I never picked it up, but eventually it got to a point where it was clearly too late to start (you’ll be glad to hear that at least my friends have forced me to take the sorting test and all that other business). After this law was introduced the common slang phrase ‘dorcus’ became popular to mean idiot or an inept person, after Dorcus Twelvetrees, who’s massive break of the statute of secrecy was the main reason for this law to be introduced.Īll witches and wizards in America are proficient in the use of wands and can buy their wand from one of the four main providers in the United States.So I have a confession, it’s a bit awkward to admit when you’re calling yourself a bookworm, but as a blog-writer I try to be honest with my readers… I’ve never read any of the Harry Potter books – ever 😳 The scandal! The horror! Can you imagine! Witches and wizards were not allowed to marry those without magic and the American wizard government ( MACUSA) act completely independently from the non-magical one. She also revealed that in 1790 a law was designed to segregate the magical and none magical community. On Thursday, Rowling revealed that the wizarding currency used in America is called a Dragot, though nothing about the exchange rate from galleons, sickles and knuts or from the American dollar. Ivermorny is ranked among the top wizarding schools in the world. Rowling added on Wednesday that the American magical community changed a lot during the time of the Salem and other anti-magic hysteria and therefore the idolisation of “pure bloods” and the hatred of muggle-born or half-blooded witches and wizards has been far less rampant all across America. The Native American wizarding community was said to be gifted in animal and plant magic, Rowling revealed on Tuesday, and was apparently known to be gifted in wandless magic. Rowling told a fan on Twitter that “indigenous magic was important in the founding of the school”. Located in North America, Ilvermorny has many of its roots in Native American culture. Ilvermorny, North America Illustration: Pottermore Nothing is said about what happens when a student’s robes malfunction or are turned white by another student’s prank. The student will be immediately expelled and put on trial. If the student adopts illegal practices and turns to “dark magic” or breaks the International Statute of Secrecy the robes change to white. Starting at a pale pink, they change to various colours ending up golden if the student achieves high grades in all subjects. The main feature that sets Mahoutokoro apart from the other schools is their robes, which are enchanted to change colour as the wearer grows in skill. How they hide this activity from the Japanese Muggles has not been stated. The younger students are flown to and from the school daily by flocks of giant storm petrels (magical birds). The school takes students from the early age of seven years old, although these children do not board at the school until age 11.
The smallest of the 11 schools, Mahoutokoro is situated on the volcanic island of Minami Iwo Jima in Japan.
