Harry Potter and the Infinite Corridor (updated!)

Harry Potter and the Infinite Corridor (updated!) Currently at Au Bon Pain in Harvard Square awaiting the arrival of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I figured it would be cool to take some classes at Hogwarts and see if there are any similar ones at MIT: Looking for Herbology stumped Looking for Potions, try: 5.36: Biochemistry and Organic Laboratory Looking for Transfiguration stumped Looking for Charms stumped Looking for Defence Against the Dark Arts try the Kickboxing PE Class Looking for History of Magic, try: 21A.211: Magic, Witchcraft, and the Spirit World Looking for Astronomy, try 8.282J Introduction to Astronomy Looking for Care of Magical Creatures, try 21H.909 People and Other Animals Looking for Divination, try 12.310 An Introduction to Weather Forecasting Looking for Ancient Runes, try 6.875J Cryptography and Cryptanalysis Looking for Arithmancy, try 18.781 Theory of Numbers Looking for Muggle Studies, try any one of the many classes the HASS department Strangely enough, even though Hogwarts is fictional, many similarities exist between MIT and the fictional school. If you consider that everyone at Hogwarts has special abilities, you could say the same for MIT. Ive never had a professor I despised as much as Harry despised as Snape, but I have had my share of Dumbledores and Hagrids. IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BOOK FOR NINE YEARS ZOMG Oh and if you think youre going to post a spoiler, think again. Ive been given permission by admissions to deny or revoke your admission or diploma (jk) The t-shirt I was planning on wearing reads: If you tell me what happens in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, I will punch you in the face. Im not kidding. Photos from camping out for the book: A lesson I learned from all of this was that if they say the line doesnt start forming until X o clock, it means the line started forming at X 2 o clock. Bloggers have a way of running into each other. Harry and the Potters Concert ZOMG the book is on sale!!! So my friend Diana and I were terrified of spoilers: Dont watch this video if you dont want Book 6 spoiled for you: But this video made me semi-paranoid And then this cartoon from dieselsweeties made me laugh: so we quickly dashed on the bus and hurried home where I finished the book the next morning by 1 pm if youd like to discuss the book, email me. And in commemoration of Book 7, there was a hack! (Photos courtesy of the MIT Hack Gallery)
