Online or in person?

[Daphne Trelawny]

So as you may know there are seven approximate magic education schools around the world. Would you prefer to keep doing H.O.L. or go to one of their schools? In my opinion I love H.O.L. it has given me education I would have never received with out this online school, but again it would be awesome to get accepted into any of these schools and go to one of them in person.  What are  your opinions?

If I had a choice, I'd go to Hogwarts in a heartbeat!! Don't get me wrong - I LOVE HOL, but come on - live in a castle with other magical folk and do real spells? Heck, I'd choose any real magical school over online 

[Emily Spencer]

I've got to agree with my friend, February, on this one.  I love HOL and I'm so glad that I found it, but given the chance to go to a REAL wizarding school?!!  Pack me up and ship me off; I'm Hogwarts bound.  If I couldn't go to Hogwarts, my next choice would be Mahoutokoro.  I love the smallness of the school and the culture is absolutely beautiful.  

[Prof. Will Lestrange]

I'd love to take in-person training:  maybe Castelobruxo?  And this isn't just me wanting to go to the Southern Hemisphere to escape winter..

[Lucia Dinapoli]

February and Emily hit the nail on the head...for me I adore HOL and I am so thankful for its presence in my life but real life Hogwarts would be a dreeeeeam ~
If not Hogwarts I would choose Beauxbatons...Imagine being serenaded by wood nymphs at dinner!

[Kaissa Chessley]

For sure in person. As much as I love HOL, it would be lovely to see you all in person at Hogwarts! We have finally started in-person school, and I go on Thursdays and Fridays. I would much prefer that than online school, it's so boring.

 

Also, newbie question: Who is Basil? Is he the head of house or something?

I kind of like online because I love HOL.

Basil is one of Slytherin's house pets.  Basil is not head of house.  Prof. Scarlet Leslie-Lewis is head of Slytherin.

He's super nice. I expected him to eat me, because I'm a Muggleborn, but I've been able to look at him without passing out!

Whew!! That's a relief

I love HOL but if I got a letter form Hogwarts I would go in a heartbeat even though I’m from the US I would want to go to Hogwarts instead of Ilvermorny 

[Artemis Perkins]

I do love online since I can practically be alone and able to do things on my own time without a lot of people around, but I would love to go to an actual magic school! The idea sounds so fun!!! Since I am American, I'd most likely be accepted into Ilvermorny which would be quite fun.  Even though it's not Hogwarts, I bet Ilvermorny is just as amazing. Reading into the history of the school and the different houses they have and what they look for in choosing students, I feel as if I would be best fit as a Pukwudgie. 

[Zagreus Elderes]

Ooc: Id probably still go with HOL, but maybe hit Hogwarts for a semester or two! I like my muggle tech too much T.T if my spotify doesnt work, Im not going *hmph*

[Maxine Riddle]

I’ve only been at HOL for a short while and do very much enjoy it, but if it were possible I think I would choose to go to Hogwarts. However, this is very conflicting because I do enjoy the life I currently live.

[February Fortescue]

Electricity doesn't work in the wizarding world, so to be honest, while I've seen this question quite a lot, it has never made any sense to me. Our magic would short circuit the pc. Besides, if you're a muggle, do you really want to learn to duel by casting spells while videotaping yourself? And wouldn't the Ministry come after you if you don't have a change of laws, anyway? So, no, as much as I love HOL, this is a poor second. I'd rather learn Crucio in person, thank you very much.

[Adeline Morior]

In person. Definitely! I would go to Hogwarts in a heartbeat and they would probably need to drag me out when the school is closed for the year. I absolutely love the idea of being in a castle, actually having a wand and being able to do magic, walk next to the lake and partaking in the fun activities at the school. 

[Scarlet Robloutain]

While HOL is a fantastic opportunity, I would prefer to attend a physical school and have the chance to immerse myself in the wizarding world. Hogwarts would be the closest, but Castelobruxo would be an amazing experience as well. Maybe even a couple of semesters at Ilvermorny. 

[Guest Hiya Debnath]

I think this goes without saying. Certainly in person. I mean who doesn't like doing real spells and learning real magic. But, at the same time, I would definitely agree that HOL has given me an amazing platform to be on, learn new things, entertain myself, and make new friends among people all over the world.

I would love to go Hogwarts in person, but I like online because I can sit and enjoy magic from the comfort of my home.
