Can you imagine going to a school like HOGWARTS?

In many ways, Hogwarts, in the Harry Potter books, is a normal boarding school. A typical day 1  (start) with breakfast in the Great Hall. Then a bell 2   (ring) and the students go to class. They 3  (have) two classes before lunch, and two more classes in the afternoon. They even 4  (do) homework and exams, and they get grades for their work.

But students 5  (not study) normal subjects, they learn about magic. And Harry 6  (not play) football, he plays quidditch.

You probably think that schools like Hogwarts 7  (not exist), but there is a real-life wizardry school in California. It 8  (teach) students all about magic!
