"Philosopher's Stone joins A-Levels set text reading The Daily Mail is reporting this evening that Philosopher's Stone, the first book in the Potter series, is now a choice for A-Levels in the United Kingdom. For those who don't know, A-Levels are academic placement tests similar to the SATs taken in the United States.

Pupils taking the English language and literature A-level next year will study Rowling's first Potter volume – the 12th best-selling book of all time and the basis for a Hollywood film – along with one other book for the module Themes in Language and Literature.

They will have to write a 1,200 to 1,500-word piece of coursework comparing the "approaches" of J.K. Rowling and the other writer.

Examiners will mark students on how they relate story lines and the activities of Harry Potter and his friends to the context of the times.

And students will have to show an understanding of J.K. Rowling's use of language, described recently as gibberish by a High Court judge. They will also have to write their own 500 to 800-word story inspired by the book.

Hogwarts groundskeeper a smash hit on FOX reality show

Hogwarts groundskeeper a smash hit on FOX reality show
After years of tending to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, everyone's favorite half-giant is making a name for himself on television. Are You Smarter Than Rubeus Hagrid? airs every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET on FOX.

Host Jeff Foxworthy said the show is a great success and is nearing the viewership of hit reality TV show American Idol. While the contestants tend to outwit Hagrid on the Q&A section, the hands-on portion of the show where they are asked to tame a Blast-Ended Skrewt, usually show that Rubeus ain't as dumb as he looks.

Trelawney recovers from alcohol addiction

Trelawney recovers from alcohol addiction
Following the fall of Voldemort, Professor Sibyl Trelawney has given up the bottle. Known for her occasional sherry drinking episodes while teaching Divination at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Trelawney has now been dry for many years. "It hasn't been easy, but one must understand the pressure of possessing the inner eye. Around the time of the Dark Lord, so many thoughts were running rampant through my mind. It drove me to indulge in the special sauce a little too much."

Trelawney's sponsor, who requested to remain anonymous, says that she has been known to still have the occasional outburst. "From time to time, Sibyl will have a vision that disturbs her to the point of running to the alcohol closet in hopes of drinking [visions] away."

The picture above depicts Sibyl recently attempting to get her hands on a bottle of Grey Goose. Thankfully, Professor McGonagall was present to hold back Sibyl when she had a vision, so no damage was done. Our thoughts are with Trelawney as she continues to make a full recovery.
