The Hogwarts Lake surface shimmers in the sunlight as you make your way down to find a secluded spot by the water's edge. Carrying your favorite book under your arm, you step over lush greenery, listening to the whispers of the wind. The ancient trees stand tall against the deep blue sky. The rhythmic lapping of the waves against the shore creates a soothing melody, one you greatly enjoy. 

You sit down and begin reading, your eyes skimming over the yellowing pages of the book, drinking up every word. The world around you fades away, replaced by a vivid magical world that exists only in your mind. Occasionally, you glance up form your reading to admire the scenery. Fellow students are walking about, chanting spells and giggling to themselves. Golden fish spring from the water into the air; some are caught by hungry birds who gulp them down happily. Hogwarts is your home… and what a home it is.

Scroll down for the most entertaining Harry Potter facts of the week, and then, if you're into DnD, check out a critical hit of Dungeons and Dragons memes here.
