13 Times Pope Francis Proved He Was Educated At Hogwarts

"Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the lights."
- Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

We all know that Pope Francis is a phenomenal man who serves the Catholic Church and the World in amazing ways. What some may not realize is that Pope Francis is actually a Hogwarts alumnus. Although he attempts to hide this magical connection, the wizarding skills of Pope Francis are too noticeable to keep under the radar of the most observant muggles.

It only took a few slip-ups, but with this photo evidence, muggles can be certain that Pope Francis learned everything he knows from the school our secret eleven-year-old selves are still waiting for the acceptance letter from. Here are thirteen times the truly magical nature of Pope Francis showed through, proving that his education came from none other than Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

1. When he saw the Basilisk's reflection.


What is coming will come. And we'll meet it when it does.


2. When he perfected the swish and flick.


It's levi-O-sa, not levio-SA.


3. When he was super friendly with a lamb, showing that he actually is a lamb (and an unregistered animagus).


Perhaps Pope Francis is also friendly with Aberforth's goats.


4. When he borrowed Dumbledore's glasses.


It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.


5. When he almost forgot he wasn't supposed to apparate in front of people and remembered soon enough that only his head disappeared for a few seconds.


Only a true warlock can dissaparate and apparate only one body part without being splinched. You go, Pope Francis.

6. When he borrowed Hagrid's motorbike and tried to play off the safety helmet like it was a fireman's accessory.


Shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that.


7. When he proved that the most important spell is "accio Pope beanie".



8. When he wore a funny hat.

You could be great, you know. It's all here, in your head.


9. When he rode on the Hogwarts Express.

Pope Francis prepares to draw his wand as Rita Skeeter from the Daily Prophet draws nearer for a picture.


10. When he got a quidditch jersey for his birthday.

Pope Francis is a keeper.


11. When he got really excited about examining the Goblet of Fire.



12. When he casually disguised a time turner as a cross.


Three turns should do it.

13. When he showed the world that his patronus is the Holy Spirit.

Always.


Thank you, Pope Francis, for lighting up the world. Your words and occasional "wingardium leviosa" charms are helping us muggles get closer to Heaven every day.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
