Fresh off the hilarity of #NigeriansAtHogwarts, Black folks are once again lighting up Twitter with #IfHogwartsWasAnHBCU, a humorous take on what would happen if Harry Potter attended a historically Black college.
While #IfHogwartsWasAnHBCU popped up as early as 2011, this weekend’s #NigeriansAtHogwarts and #JamaicansAtHogwarts no doubt reinvigorated the hashtag. It also proved Black folks love fantasy books like Harry Potter, too.
This week's TTs have def shown a need/market for more Diaspora fantasy novels #IfHogwartsWasAnHBCU #JamaicansatHogwarts #NigeriansatHogwarts

So, what would life be like if Harry, Hermione, and Ronald attended a HBCU?
Take a look.

What do you think Hogwarts would be like if it was at a HBCU?
August 3, 2015 -
The one about professor Badu and the financial aid office being the secret chamber was on point. And of course the natural hair spells ????????
August 5, 2015 -
Lols. I cracked! I so agree with the Chamber of Secrets=Fin Aid. No one IRL really knows how that shit actually works! Lol.
August 3, 2015 -
Black Twitter has shown very funny and witty words. The Morgan Freeman reference was very accurate too including the financial aid office.
August 3, 2015 -
This brought me so much joy.
August 4, 2015 -
LOL I love this. As a Harry Potter fan (yes I am a nerd) I would love to see a black version of Harry Potter and Hogwarts someone needs to make this happen it can be like our version of the Wiz.
August 4, 2015 -
I want to play, but I have to work.
Raven Symone would be High Inquisitor & Head of the Improper Use of Blackness.
