What character is your school?

If Big Ten Schools Were Harry Potter Characters

The Big Ten is home to fourteen universities with all different personalities and stereotypes. Like the characters of Harry Potter, there are some we love, some we tolerate, and some we downright hate. Here's if the Big Ten was comprised of Harry Potter characters:

Penn State and Indiana University as Fred and George Weasley.


The Weasley Twins are always the life of the party. Fun-loving and master pranksters, Fred and George’s personalities perfectly align with the party scenes of Penn State and IU.

Michigan State as Draco Malfoy.

Michigan State is the worst. Because they have an amazing football and basketball team, they think they are the best school in the Big Ten even though they are lacking the academics of some of the other schools. Draco Malfoy is cocky just like Michigan State.

Illinois as Arthur Weasley.

As Head of the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office for the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley’s occupation is seen as a joke by some, like Lucius Malfoy. He isn’t the brightest, but he has good intentions and a heart of gold. Like the University of Illinois, they’re party-school reputation and impressive Greek life often overshadows their academics.

Minnesota, Maryland and Rutgers as Neville Longbottom.

Wait, these three schools are in the Big Ten? Neville Longbottom is often underestimated by his classmates due to his shy, awkward personality even though he has plenty of potential just like Minnesota, Maryland, and Rutgers.

Purdue as Luna Lovegood.

Slightly weird but insanely intelligent, Luna Lovegood is just like the Engineers at Purdue.

Nebraska as Rubeus Hagrid.

With a mascot like the “Cornhuskers”, Hagrid is a perfect choice. Nature-loving and friendly, Hagrid and his hut would fit in the fields of Nebraska.

Iowa as Ginny Weasley.

Plain, family-oriented, and strong Midwestern values, Iowa is the muggle version of Ginny Weasley.

Wisconsin as Ron Weasley.

A great school, Wisconsin is often overshadowed by the big named schools like Michigan and Michigan State. Ron Weasley is best friends with Harry Potter and always comes second when compared to Harry.

Northwestern as Hermoine Granger.

Intelligent and always focused on her studies, Hermoine Granger is known as being Hogwarts’ bookworm. Northwestern is known as the smart school of the Big Ten and that’s pretty much it.

Ohio State as Professor Snape.

The professor everyone hates except his own house of Slytherin. Everyone hates Ohio State besides their own fan base.

Lastly, the University of Michigan as Harry Potter.

Harry’s slight arrogance may cause people to dislike him at times, but he embodies the “Leaders & Best” attitude. Intelligent, athletic, and hard-working, Harry Potter is well-rounded just like the students at the University of Michigan.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
