Harry Potter books - once key decorative pieces in any Dungeons and Dragons lair - have somehow found their way onto academics' bookshelves.
According to a recent CNN article, Yale University now offers classes dedicated to the deconstruction of Potter.
Such undergraduate courses as "Christian Theology and Harry Potter" delve deeply into the books in which a be-speckled boy plays sports games on flying broomsticks.
Being an English major, this news thrills me and makes me hope USI takes after Yale and begins proposing Potter-themed courses.
How about English 593: "Voldemort and the Literature of Fear"?
Potter's sudden foray into academia could open the doors for other children's books as well.
USI could be the first university in the country to offer Sociology 463: "The Three Bears and Family Hierarchy" or Psychology 562: "Jack, Jill and Food Addiction." Even Political Science 397: "The Stinky Cheese Man and Geopolitics" becomes a possibility.
An entire college could be devoted to Harry Potter, hell, even the entire University.
Each book in the series could have a separate school.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is like, 750 pages. Give it two colleges!
No one has written a good book in close to two hundred years, so why give non-witch related material any thought?
Modernist, Post-Modernist and Contemporary writers are all alcoholic sad sacks obsessed with the real-world and human emotion. Screw them.
While were at it, let's toss out the classical writers as well.
Shakespeare and Milton: take your quills and shove them up your syphilitic and blind (respectively) backsides.
Who needs Hamlet when you have Hermione?
USI, please take a page from Yale (Editor's note: pun most definitely intended) and begin educating your students the right way: the way Hogwarts would do it.
