00:00 The Harry Potter series is a worldwide sensation,
00:05 and the author JK Rowling is a big fan.
00:08 The influence of Harry Potter is also a great inspiration for many people.
00:13 The novel is full of magical and mysterious stories,
00:17 and the fans are looking forward to the details.
00:19 It would be great if there was a magic school.
00:22 Actually, it doesn't take long.
00:25 The University of Oxford announced that it would hold the first magic school in September next year.
00:32 The whole process is full of magic and mysterious science.
00:36 The point is, this university is the alma mater of the Harry Potter author JK Rowling.
00:40 The author's alma mater holds a magic school.
00:44 It seems to be quite convincing.
00:46 But is there really magic in this world?
00:49 Or is it just a gimmick?
00:51 The professor in charge of the course said,
00:53 this magic school includes studying witchcraft, magic history,
00:59 and learning magic, the impact on society and science, etc.
01:04 The professor said, because recently many people have been interested in magic and mystery,
01:10 so he started this course.
01:12 Through learning magic,
01:14 students can also study history, philosophy, archaeology, psychology,
01:19 drama and religion, etc.
01:22 It sounds quite academic.
01:25 It doesn't seem to have much to do with the course of magic we imagine.
01:31 But the professor said, after completing this course for one year,
01:34 students can enter the field of teaching,
01:37 business, heritage,
01:39 or work in museums, libraries, cultural tourism, and publishers, etc.
01:44 They can also stay and become a teacher of magic.
01:47 According to the knowledge, the tuition for this course is 12,000 pounds,
01:50 which is about 70,000 pounds.
01:52 But international students need to pay 24,300 pounds,
01:56 which is about 140,000 pounds.
01:58 It seems that it's really not cheap to learn magic.
02:02 For this magic course,
02:04 most netizens are very interested in the content of the course.
02:08 Some people even joked that if the protagonist Miao Li went to study, I would go to study.
02:13 But some netizens who love magic and history said they were interested in reading.
02:19 Some netizens even said that after graduating,
02:22 you can write on your resume,
02:24 "Major in Magic"
02:27 It's really cool.
02:28 But BBC's editor replied,
02:31 this course actually belongs to the history department,
02:35 so those who get the degree will be a literature master,
02:38 not the magic master degree that everyone imagines.
02:42 Even if it has a big impact on the magic you imagine,
02:47 the school has already successfully launched a wave of free advertising before the course is even held.
02:53 Strictly speaking,
02:54 before the British University launched the magic course,
02:58 other universities in Europe have already held similar courses,
03:02 but most of them are related to the mystery course.
03:05 Some netizens shared that a French university already has a course on European mystery,
03:11 while the Dutch Amsterdam University has a course on Western mystery and consciousness.
03:16 Germany also has a university that has similar courses on Western mystery and ghost.
03:21 Many netizens were surprised to learn that these courses on mystery actually exist.
03:26 If you were me, would you be interested in going to study?
