WIZARD WANTS TO CREATE REAL-LIFE HARRY POTTER ACADEMY



CHRISTCHURCH, N.Z. (Wireless Flash) – So far, wizard schools like Hogwarts Academy only exist in Harry Potter books and movies – but not if a real-life wizard from New Zealand gets his way. The man has legally changed his name to “The Wizard of New Zealand,” and has been credited with everything from ending droughts to causing computer glitches in Australian banks. The 69-year-old spell caster says he now wants to use his magic to create a real-life academy for witches and wizards. The Wizard says his would-be witches will have to wait until they’re 18 or 19 and the boys will be separated as much as possible from the girl students until they’ve learned “...how not to be controlled by females.” Although The Wizard hasn’t raised enough funds to start his academy, he’s hoping that Harry Potter’s popularity will create enough demand to make the school feasible.
