The magic of Harry Potter manages to reach even the furthest corners of the world.
Anshu Agarwal is a photographer and teacher in Kalap, a remote village in India nestled in the Himalayas, which provides beautiful backdrops for his work.

To supplement his English lessons, Agarwal showed his students the Harry Potter movies.
"They were smitten by them and once expressed how they wished to be witches and wizards themselves," Agarwal told Mashable in an email.
So witches and wizards they became.
To bring the magic of Harry Potter to life for his students, Agarwal took photos and edited the images to make the students look like as though they were playing a game of Quidditch, the magical sport played in the series. The photographs include students levitating on broomsticks, carrying balls in mid-air and attempting to catch the pesky Snitch.
"Since I had already worked extensively on Levitation Photography, I thought of making an effort to materialise their fantasy," Agarwal said. "Recreating a Quidditch match for real was my objective. We constructed a nifty 1-foot-high wooden bench, mimicked some broomsticks as shown in the movies and arranged for a volleyball."
"Many children of the village clustered around in different locations of the village for four consecutive Sundays as I captured them hopping on their broomsticks," Agarwal explained. "The images were stacked together and edited on Photoshop."
Agarwal's larger-than-life imagination has helped spark their own.
