Pottertastic Princethorpe Screening Enjoyed By Year 6 Offer Holders

The College was delighted to welcome around 60 children into school for an early introduction to the magic of Princethorpe or perhaps just for that morning, after the reported sightings of owls on the campus, we could say Princewarts.

Next year's new starters will come from many different primary schools, so the morning was one of a number of opportunities the College is organising this year where future pupils can start to become a little more familiar with the College site and potential new friends.

The spellbinding entertainment began with a warm welcome from our very own ‘Albus Dumbledore’, Headmaster, Ed Hester. He spoke to the children about starting a new school, a theme reflected in the film, and about the College's house system. Also on hand was Deputy Head, Beth Sharpe, aka Professor McGonagall, waving her wand over affairs to help with the morning's wizarding adventures.

Midway through the screening there was an interval when the children visited the College's dining room to stock up on popcorn, cookies and even a sip of polyjuice!

At the end of the morning after more refreshments everyone went home having thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The College looks forward to welcoming them back as pupils later in the year – although we do hope they won't be too disappointed when they find out that their new timetables will be limited to more traditional subjects rather than lessons in Potions, Transfigurations and Defence Against The Dark Arts!
