Real Wizards Attending "Deathly Hallows" Release Parties

Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, Headmaster of the Grey School of Wizardry, is known as "the real Albus Dumbledore." He and other genuine Wizards will be appearing at bookstores around the country at midnight of July 20 to collect the final book in the Harry Potter series.

At midnight on July 20, when the final Harry Potter book, The Deathly Hallows, is released at thousands of bookstores throughout the world, many of the costumed witches and wizards attending the bookstore release parties will be the real thing. Hundreds of students and teachers from the online Grey School of Wizardry will be showing up in full regalia to collect the grand finale of their favorite fantasy series. So look for those robes, cloaks, and pointy hats, and ask them: "Are you a real witch or wizard?" They just might be.

J.K. Rowling's fictional Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has become famous as the setting for seven novels. These books have become the most popular literary phenomenon of all time. Millions of readers would love to board the Hogwarts Express and travel to a remote academy that teaches real magick, witchcraft, and wizardry.

As so often happens, fiction has become reality. The Grey School of Wizardry was established in 2004 and incorporated in California as a nonprofit educational institution. And its headmaster is a respected modern wizard widely regarded as the "real Albus Dumbledore."

Oberon Zell-Ravenheart is the cover story in the Summer 2007 issue of PanGaia magazine. His Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard is featured on a special display table of books on Wizardry in Barnes & Noble bookstores from July 12 through August 8. And the evening of July 20, Headmaster Zell-Ravenheart will be signing his books and meeting with fellow Harry Potter fans at the Barnes & Noble store in The Rosenburg Building, 700 - 4th St., Santa Rosa, CA 95404.

Other Grey School faculty members will also be featured as special wizard guests at many bookstores around the country. Check your local listings.

The Grey School of Wizardry offers over 200 classes in all areas of wizardry and magick, taught by 35 highly-qualified faculty members. Graduates are certified as "Journeyman Wizards." Initially designed for students of ages 11-18, the Grey School has proven to appeal greatly to adults as well, who comprise 75% of the currently enrollment. Some students are in their 70s.

And during July through August, the Grey School is sponsoring a "Why I Want To Be A Wizard" essay contest for youths 11-17. Seven winners (one of each age) will receive full first-year scholarships, personally autographed copies of Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard, and beautiful wands from Willowroot Real Magic Wands.
