Luckily, a group of die-hard Potter fans would like to help you come a little closer to achieving that dream with the creation of [HogwartsIsHere.com](http://www.hogwartsishere.com/ "undefined"), a site that lets you enroll in free nine-week courses and meet fellow Potter fanatics. Classes include Charms, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Herbology, History of Magic, and Transfiguration. Each course is divided into nine weeks, with actual homework assignments, quizzes and tests. So you’ll feel just like Hermione, Ron and Harry! Participation is entirely free, and the site is in no way affiliated with J.K. Rowling or Warner Bros. or anyone else related to the Harry Potter franchise. It’s just the work of some very enthusiastic muggles. So grab yourself a butterbeer and get to it. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/64895/free-online-hogwarts-course/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/64895/free-online-hogwarts-course/"},"headline":"Good News For Aspiring Wizards: You Can Now Take Online Hogwarts Courses","datePublished":"2014-04-16T15:10:47.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:08:50.576Z","description":"Pet owl not included","url":"https://time.com/64895/free-online-hogwarts-course/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Internet","Harry Potter"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc17aa9eeeaaea135/69868adacd684814d709429f/220927_full.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc17aa9eeeaaea135/69868adacd684814d709429f/220927_full.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Harry Potter","caption":"Harry Potter","creditText":"Warner Bros.","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/64895/free-online-hogwarts-course/","name":"Good News For Aspiring Wizards: You Can Now Take Online Hogwarts Courses"}}]}] ```
