Moving to university and dealing with the first few days can be both exciting and nerve wracking, almost as much as leaving for Hogwarts. So whether you’re clever Hermione or clumsy Ron here are 10 reasons why going to Hogwarts is just like university.

 

1. Getting your acceptance letter through feels amazing (almost making up for that Hogwarts letter that never arrived).HP letter

2. Moving into halls is nerve racking but you power through (making sure not to get put into Slytherin).

3. Your mum buys you the campus hoodie and makes you wear it straight away.
