Hogwarts Sorting Hat and Spell Casting

ASU English makes learning magical. Here, President's Professor Jim Blasingame and Associate Professor Peter Goggin perform a spell at ASU Open Door along with event volunteers.

Welcome to Hogwarts! Inspired by the Harry Potter books, young visiting wizards get sorted into a “house” and receive a corresponding wand; use the wand to magically correct misspelled words! Teeny tiny wizards can just enjoy learning silly spells. Beware: Dementors may show up! Facilitated by professors Jim Blasingame and Peter Goggin and English education students.
