If The ACC Schools Were Harry Potter Characters

The best teams in the nation as the best characters in the world... what could be better?

If The ACC Schools Were Harry Potter Characters
Fandom By Wikia

This past week, I read a wonderful article by a fellow Odyssey writer that compared each of the 13 schools is the South Eastern Conference (or, as it is better known, the SEC) to a character from Harry Potter. While I think the article was extremely creative, I do think it was a bold move to compare some mediocre college football teams to some of the best characters known to man. So, in all due respect towards the Harry Potter characters, here are the best teams in college football compared to the best book characters of all time. If the ACC schools were characters from Harry Potter, they would look like this:

1. Virginia Tech is Neville Longbottom

They're just kind of there, but every now and then, they'll bring a good fight and do something miraculous.

2. University of North Carolina is Minerva McGonagall

UNC is always respected, even if they are getting a little old.

3. Georgia Tech is Hermione Granger

They are most definitely the nerds and know-it-alls of the ACC, but every now and then, they do come in pretty clutch (like when they embarrassed Florida State in 2015 by returning a blocked field goal for a touchdown and winning the game with 6 seconds left on the clock)

4. Notre Dame is Dudley Dursley


They like to talk a big game, and they think very highly of themselves. But when it comes game time, they don't have much to show.

5. Clemson is Albus Dumbledore


With Clemson being this year's reigning national champs, and frankly, the best team in the nation, they are most definitely Albus Dumbledore. Even though some still try to argue, everyone knows deep down that Clemson isn't a team you would want to face.

6. Wake Forest is Professor Flitwick


Wake Forest exists, and most people have heard of them once or twice, but what do they really do?

7. Duke University is Serverus Snape


They're great at basketball, but they're bad at football. They have two sides, just like Professor Snape.

8. Boston College is Nearly Headless Nick


They're always trying to fit in with the cooler schools, just like Sir Nicholas tries to fit in with the Headless ghosts. So close, but sorry, no.

9. North Carolina State University is Lavender Brown


Because NC State is mostly just annoying

10. University of Pittsburgh is Crookshanks


They were recently added to the conference, and you hear about them every now and then, but we all just ignore them for the most part.

11. University of Miami is Harry Potter


Harry is the type of character that you either love or hate. There isn't much in between, but for some reason, there is always a lot of hype around him, just like with the Canes.

12. Syracuse University is Luna Lovegood


Like Luna, Syracuse is just off in their own little world up there in the frigid winters of Northern New York. But hey, we don't have a problem with them, so we keep them around

13. University of Virginia is Rubeus Hagrid


They'll win a game here and there, but mostly they just want to be everyone's friend.

14. Florida State is Voldemort


Nobody likes Florida State. Enough said.

15. University of Louisville is Ron Weasley


Louisville is Ron Weasley because they try very hard, but usually have little to nothing to show for their efforts. And when they do happen to get ahead and start doing alright, they will pull a Louisville and end up right back where they started.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
