While most would expect Harvard University to be too snooty for shameless promotions, apparently they are not. According to this article, on July 20th, the day before the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harvard Square will rename itself "Hogwarts Sqaure".
Here's a stupid explanation why, from Denise Jillson executive director of Harvard Square business association:
"'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows' and the hallowed halls of Harvard," she said, connecting the dots.
Details of the event include performances by the band "Harry & the Potters" (pictured below), and a scavenger hunt at the Harvard Museum of Natural History for owls, bats, red stones, and of course, Harvard's dignity.
And I had to add that transitively, if Harvard Sqaure is being renamed Hogwarts Square, then Harvard must be renamed Hogwarts as well. You just can't have one without the other. Wouldn't make sense. This would make the Red Line the Hogwarts Expre
ss - and, while I couldn't think of appropriate comparisons for each of the houses, Harvard Law School would definitely be Slytherin. Which would make Alan Dershowitz professor Snape.
