Academics gather in Salem
A friend sent this link to me through email and thought you guys would want to look at it. People gathering for a all out Harry Potter university type thing. Professors all come from around the states and give lectures on HP related things. The students also got to play quidditch (without brooms). It sounded like they had fun. They held it in Salem, Ma which is the only American place mentioned in the books (Quidditch world cup; Goblet of Fire; around camp).
I have a couple friends who went to that. It's more a convention than a class, and I didn't get the impression it was serious academics.
Most of the pics I have seen are them drinking in bars.

drinking in bars...sounds like serious academics to me! That's what you have to do to drown the misery of writing a dissertation and/or not having tenure!
