Camp Description: Join us at our first ever Wizarding Academy and explore different contexts for thinking about the Harry Potter series—through myth, literature, folklore, language, identity, history, and film. You’ll also work on an interdisciplinary and collaborative project designing your own shop for the wizarding consumer. Come experience "Herbology," "the History of Magic," and "Transfiguration," along with films and trivia about the books, and a Wizarding Tournament. All campers will be sorted into their house as preparation for a week of thinking, talking, reading, film-watching, building, and fun!

Camp directors Karley Adney, Assistant Professor of English and Holly Hassel, Associate Professor of English and Chair of UW Colleges Women's Studies Program are co-authors of the forthcoming Critical Companion to J.K. Rowling volume and bring years of teaching experience, a love of literature, and a passion for all things Harry Potter to the classroom. Contact them at karley.adney@uwc.edu or holly.hassel@uwc.edu.
