For the lucky graduates of Loughborough University, the entrance to a truly amazing and enchanting evening began by stepping through Platform 9 3/4 appeared at the doors of their Student Union last Friday evening! For those that wished hard enough, the wall magically opened up for them and transported them to The Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Wizardy and Witchcraft.
The hall itself was a spectacle to behold and if you let yourself go, it seemed that you really had travelled into another world! Candles magically floated from the star clad ceiling and flames roared from the lanterns on the stone walls. For those more adventurous, Diagon Alley was but a short walk. Once there the scenery changed dramatically and resembled the street where wizards and witches go to relax after a hard day's work in Professor Snapes class or to forget about the horrible Malfoy boy that has made their day all the more unpleasant. Butter Beers, confectionary and even being wed in the chapel was on offer here and provided endless entertainment for the Loughborough Students... and if you looked hard enough, you could spot Ol' Hagrid tucking into some delights.
Even though the evening wore on, the magic did not end and characters from Hogwarts kept popping up as well as the more famous faces of Pixie Lott, Mistajam and Piff The Magic Dragon!.....the entertainment for the evening. As more butter beer was drank, people danced the night away in the Great Hall and some even found refuge in the Library with their nose in a book. At 2am (much later than the usual curfew in place at Hogwarts), the evening and another year at Hogwarts came to an end! This marked the end of the student's chapter as a Witch or Wizard pupil, but did not mark the end for the magic of Hogwarts.
