Saw this article in this morning's METRO newspaper.

AUSTRIA: Budding Harry Potters and Hermione Graingers turned up for class when Europe's first school for Witches and Wizards opened yesterday. The 15 students at the Hexenschule in the mountains near the southern city of Klagenfurt will take a six term course ending in a Sorcerer's diploma. Lessons include astrology, magic and divination, plus making potions and casting spells. Druidic teachings and nature studies are also on the curriculum. Principal Andreas Starchel - alias the Wizard Dakaneth - said: "The aim is to pass on Witches' ancestral knowledge, which is gradually being forgotten, and restore contact with nature, which has been lost by our society".
