Queen's University in Kingston, Canada was founded in 1841 with a royal charter from Queen Victoria by The Church of Scotland. And it may be this shared Scottish heritage with Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling - whose mother was half Scottish and where Rowling now resides - that has created a link between Queen's and the world of Hogwarts in so many ways...

this can't be serious, even the narrators name is Rowling. Hardly anything at queens is like harry potter, except maybe Douglas and Bader institute. My high school resembled Hogwarts more than Queens did, we even had an english headmaster.

Oh - I thought you removed your comment completely, but it appears you just wanted to rewrite it?
There are plenty more QueensU / Harry Potter type connections that we never got to mention here. For instance the Queen's Principal recently tweeted that he spent 4 years of his sabbatical in Edinburgh, where "J.K. Rowling (was) oft seen in the vicinity". :)
BTW, you can click on one of Bryony Rowling's links and quickly find out why her last name is also Rowling. :)

Thanks for posting! Is the Harry Potter inspired video on your channel one of the "Sober Tales"? BTW, I love the Will & Grace bloopers collection - that was a great show. :)
