Newly built Chinese university shockingly similar to Hogwarts
By Jeong Ji-su
A newly built university in Xinle City, Heibei Province of China, looks greatly similar to Hogwarts, the magical Harry Potter School, said the Daily News on Tuesday.
The new university features a giant clock tower, castle walls and pointy turrets.
The look is immensely similar to the magical Hogwart School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, from the famous Harry Potter series. Hogwarts is actually based upon Alnwick Castle in Northumberland in the U.K.
However, designers say that the buildings are modeled upon the castles of medieval Europe.
The university expects to welcome its first students later this year.
Meanwhile, the Harry Potter series has recently enjoyed a surging popularity in China.
