法国明年居然要开霍格沃茨魔法学校
A Real-Life School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry Is Opening Next Year
对许多哈利波特粉来说，11岁生日那天一定非常难过。我们满心希望这天能收到霍格沃茨学校的录取通知书，这样就能跟我们的魔法小伙伴一起学魔法了。但是，由于伏地魔在 1985-1998年控制魔法部的期间，摧毁了所有麻瓜出生巫师的记录，我们的希望破灭了。
For many Harry Potter fans, our 11th birthdays were inexpressibly sad. We had hoped against hope that our Hogwarts acceptance letters might arrive, so we could join our magical friends at the school of our dreams. Of course, our hopes were dashed. As everyone knows, Voldemort wiped out the Ministry of Magic's records of muggle-born witches and wizards born from 1985 to 1998.
别担心，咱们这群没受过魔法训练的小伙伴有着落了！明年，Mimbulus Mimbletonia协会将为麻瓜们在法国Chateau de Jolibert开设一所魔法学校。
Luckily, a new school of witchcraft and wizardry is stepping up to educate the untrained masses. Next year, the fans behind the Mimbulus Mimbletonia Association are opening a wizarding school for muggles at Chateau de Jolibert in Bourgougnague, France.
2017年5月25日到28日（耶稣升天节的周末），魔法学校将会安排4天的课程。参加者必须在2017年满16岁，其中18岁以下的学生要出具家长签署的同意书。
The school will offer classes over four days, from May 25 to May 28, 2017. Only 100 lucky students can attend. Students must be 16 or older, and students under 18 will need a permission slip from their parents.
这4天的课程是围绕哈利波特第一卷《哈利波特与魔法石》编排的。整个培训包括分配仪式、玩魁地奇、上植物学、咒语和魔法药水课等等。
The four-day experience is modeled after the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Students will take part in a sorting ceremony, learn to play Quidditch, and take classes in Botany, Potions and Charms.
但这个培训也有门槛。由于Mimbulus Mimbletonia协会由法国两个哈利波特迷所成立，所以培训全程都是用的法语。说一口流利法语的人才能顺利参加。所以想参加的朋友现在最好赶紧恶补下法语！
There is a catch. The Mimbulus Mimbletonia Association is the brainchild of two French Harry Potter fans, so all lessons and activities will be conducted in French. Only fluent French speakers will be able to participate. Better start brushing up on your high school French now!
该活动100张票将在今年年底开卖。票价暂时未公开，但由于包括4天活动，3晚校内宿舍住宿和餐饮，价格应该不会低到哪儿去。
The 100 tickets for the event go on sale at the end of this year. There's no word yet on how much the tickets will cost, but the price will include four days of activities, three nights' lodging in the dorms and all meals. Here's hoping you discover a stockpile of Galleons before December.
