Dumbledore Is For Real


Oberon Zell-Ravenheart with his wife Morning Glory

This is the story of a real Dumbledore and would be of a lot of interest to all the Harry Potter fans. This is about Oberon Zell-Ravenheart who is 68 years old and has dedicated his life to studying dark arts and magic. Oberon has decided to open the world's only registered wizard academy called the Grey School of Wizardry.

It is the first ever officially recognized academic establishment of its sort. Just like Harry Potter, the Grey School of Wizardry will comprise of 16 departments including Alchemy, Beast mastery, Horse-whispering, wind-making and spell casting. The pupils will be split into four ancient houses such as Winds, Undines, Gnomes and Salamanders and will study a defence against the deadly Dark Arts. 



The Grey School has about 735 students of which 100 students are under 18 years of age. It is an online college as of now with regular physical wizard camps where students can study for 7 years to graduate with a journeyman degree in Wizardry.

Oberon is a former teacher and counselor who was teaching spells to aspiring wizards long before J.K. Rowling even thought about Harry Potter. Oberon rose to fame in the early 1980s as an eccentric who claimed to have created the world's first unicorn. He did create something - a single horned creature using a minor surgery on a goat. Anyhow, he did get some attention back then for this unicorn. That creature then toured America with a famous circus. Oberon's wife is also a 63 years old witch and is called Morning Glory.

Oberon is trying to get the giant castle in St Helena, Montana as the educational facility if everything will go as per his plan. He is a published author and has written many books on wizardry and magic. His work is considered to be the "Bibles of Wizardry" by the wizard community.

Oberon admits that Harry Potter books helped him in getting more students in these years.
