Calling all Harry Potter fans...
This will definitely be up your cobblestoned wizarding alley!
Glasgow University have just announced that they will be hosting a new accredited International Summer School on fantasy literature - including the Harry Potter books.
The course, titled 'Fantastic Texts and Where to Find Them' will introduce people to fantasy and the fantastic, often defined as the 'literature of the impossible".
And it will give literature fans the chance to survey key texts across different media (e.g. by J.R.R. Tolkien and Ursula K. Le Guin), while exploring critical approaches and recent theoretical debates and offering the chance for people to try their hand at writing fantasy.
The summer school will also include two field trips to Moat Brae in Dumfries (where J.M. Barrie played as a child and later acknowledged as an inspiration for Neverland) and to the Glenfinnan Viaduct (crossed by Hogwarts Express in the second and third Harry Potter films).
Classes start on Monday, 22 June and run until Friday, 3 July, with assessment conducted via a 10-minute presentation and a 1,500-word essay.
Applications to take part in the school close on April 15.
