In honor of World Book Week, pupils at Charlton-On-Otmoor Primary School were pleasantly surprised when the whole school was suddenly transformed into Hogwarts. The Oxford Times reported that the week started as it normally would, with an assembly. Of course, that’s when things turned quite different.
