“The Hogwarts Professor” set to speak at The Blair Academy Tuesday

by Keith Hawk · February 20, 2012

The Blair Academy, located in Blairstown, New Jersey, is hosting its 10th Annual Headmasters’ Societies Games event, and who better to provide an interesting and intellectually stimulating lecture than John Granger, better known to most of the Harry Potter fandom as ‘The Hogwarts Professor.’

John Granger has been lecturing on the symbolism and literary artistry employed by author J.K. Rowling for the past decade, making appearances all over the world at Universities and conferences.

Recently, MuggleNet staff interviewed John regarding his latest Ring Composition Theory, which you can read and listen to right here.

The Blair’s 10th annual Headmasters’ Societies Competition features students and faculty members being randomly assigned to one of four teams in order to compete against each other in a variety of intramural activities over the course of five days (which started on Monday, February 20).

All Skeptics programs are free and open to the public if you are able to attend.
