Austrian 'Hogwarts' Booming
Author: Ananova Source: Ananova
Title: AUSTRIAN 'HOGWARTS' BOOMING
A Hogwarts-style college in Austria says applications have gone through the roof since the release of the sixth Harry Potter book.
Students at the college in Klagenfurt take a six-semester course in "all things related to witchcraft and wizardry by scientific methods" to earn a Veneficus Certificate.
Sorcerers' apprentices, aged 17 and above, who attend the school are taught astrology, magic, history of magic, meditation and divination.

Applicants for the Hexenschule must be at least 17 years of age. Students at Hogwarts finish their course of study at the age of 17 or 18. I had long wondered where graduates of Hogwarts continued their educations. I had suspected Miskatonic University, but that's on this side of the pond.

Sound's like my kind of school. And Ich bin lernt ein bischen Deutch. Not enough, I fear for an advanced course yet, but -- one day, who knows? LOL.
I wonder if they use a sorting hat?

What are you going to teach in six weeks?
I couldn't teach Bilocation in that time.
I didn't see any mention of Linguistic Accomodation. Hoch Deutsch is im OEstreich gesprach; Nieder Deutsh is beim Aussien gesprach.

if there is an upper age limit? And can I learn the language? That's going to be the hardest part. Never could get the hang of French in prep-school. I doubt I'm going to be any better in Austrian.
