This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.
***SPOILER ALERT***
Are there Wizarding universities?
re: the veil, I'm expecting Harry to drag Voldemort through it--or Snape, if we want to have an interesting extra-planar adventure. Dumbledore is, I believe, dead dead deadski, but Sirius could come back. Though Tonks might object.
I would like to see a Superman II moment where Harry is nearly killed by Voldemort, but in front of the amassed witches and wizards for some reason. They all get pissed and do a collective spell that shows that together they are stronger than the evil that is the former Tom Riddle.
But then, I'm a sap.

See, now this I could get behind.

I would throw the book across the room if that happened.
I like your idea Daniel!
I think the last book will definitely be set in the school. From the first book it's been set up as Harry's home, his haven. We've also seen that it means much the same thing to Voldemort, albeit in a more twisted manner, and Dumbledore was the only one stopping him from taking it over. Now Dumbledore's gone, Voldemort's going to want what he tried to get so many years ago. The Final Battle, if there is one, would almost certainly have to be set there, I think.

I knew that was coming. Hee.
I told you I was a sap. I liked that moment in Superman II when the people thought Superman was dead and did the whole "They Killed Superman!" "Let's get 'em!"
Pure schmaltz...

There is an Auror Academy for training the Aurors, so I would think that there might be other higher educational facilities for specialty fields. But, if there were general higher education places, I would think that Percy (being Head Boy and all) would have gone there rather than directly to the Ministry.
The Final Battle, if there is one, would almost certainly have to be set there, I think.
It may be that Hogwarts itself doesn't survive Book 7. Rowling's own Gotterdammerung.
