No need to look for Platform 9 3/4 -- now Hogwarts will come to you.

Superfans of the book and film series have launched their own online version of Harry Potter's alma mater: Hogwarts is Here. The site offers a full catalog of Ministry-approved classes for "all aspiring witches and wizards" across the world.

Though it is similar to the franchise's interactive ebook website Pottermore, this version doesn't seem to follow directly in Potter's footsteps. The immersive website was made by members of the fandom to bring together anyone who has been seeking "magical experiences" since the series' conclusion.

It also takes its course work very seriously -- starting out as first year students, users are expected to complete homework assignments, essays, quizzes and tests for classes such as "Charms" and "Potions," and progress through all seven years of wizard academics.

And thanks to the "Wizard-Muggle Integration Movement," it's all offered completely free of charge. Enrollment might take a day or so to process, but in the meantime you can generate your own personalized acceptance letter.

Along with all that studying, students can chat with others in the online common rooms, earn house points and browse the Hogwarts Library. There's even an opportunity to volunteer as a professor for those more advanced in the art of magic.
