The Real “Hogwarts”
He is the real-life wizard headmaster giving Harry Potter’s Dumbledore a run for his money[成为对手].
Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, 68, has dedicated his life to studying the dark arts注1—even doing the shopping in his wizard costume and wand.
Now the magic master has opened the world’s only registered wizard academy, the Grey School of Wizardry, as he prepares to make Hogwarts and the world of Harry Potter a reality.
“If you’ve ever read Harry Potter and wondered if wizards really do walk among us, perhaps
behind a secret train platform, or in secret communities, I can tell you that we are absolutely real,” says Oberon, from Catoti, California.
Today, Oberon Zell-Ravenheart’s Grey School of Wizardry is the first wizard school to be officially recognized as an academic establishment.
Like Hogwarts, the Grey School teaches 16 departments, including alchemy[炼金术], beast mastery, horse-whispering, wand-making and spell[咒语] casting.
Pupils who attend this unique “conclave[秘密会议]” magic school are split into four ancient houses—Winds, Undines, Gnomes and Salamanders注2, and like Potter, students study a defence against the deadly dark arts.
The Grey School boasts[自夸] 735 students, of which Oberon claims 100 are under-18-“trainee Harry Potters.” For now, it is an online college with regular physical wizard camps, where muggles can study seven years to graduate with a journeyman[满师学徒工] degree in wizardry.
“It’s a serious qualification,” insists the wizard. “We teach advanced ‘mathemagicks’, quantum[量子论] entanglement, cosmology[宇宙哲学] & metaphysics[玄学], lore[知识], wortcunning[草药学] [herbal medicine] and all the ancient sciences.” But remarkably, Oberon is bidding on a giant castle in St. Helena, Montana, to run a full-time educational facility, just like Hogwarts. “We hold regular conclave summer camps for young wizards, and we are soon hoping to achieve some graduates in our four-year master’s degree in magic.”
“Other so-called wizard schools are rip-offs[骗人] and they don’t allow children,” says Oberon. “I want to help the next breed of Harry Potters learn wizardry.” Membership is £18 and Oberon promises he can teach any student, old or young, the basics of wizardry.
The Real “Dumbledore”“In the magic community I’m referred to as the real Dumbledore,” admits Oberon. “But before Harry Potter, people just called me Merlin, or Gandalf注3.”
The former teacher and counselor[顾问] was teaching spells to aspiring wizards long before J.K. Rowling even dreamed up Harry Potter.
Oberon rose to fame in the early 1980s as an eccentric[怪人] who claimed to have created the world’s first unicorn[独角兽]. Unbelievably, the self-proclaimed “master of wizardry” created a single-horned creature, using minor surgery on a goat, that made front page news in America.
The creature later toured America with a famous circus. “It’s every wizard’s dream to have a unicorn, and we achieved that,” says Oberon, who lives with his wife, Morning Glory, 63, a witch. In 1985, he organized a diving expedition[探险队] in Australia and New Guinea to investigate the age-old mystery of the mermaid[美人鱼].
Oberon is also a published author, having written many textbooks believed by the wizard community to be the “bibles of wizardry.” His recent books include Grimoire[魔法书] for the Apprentice[学徒] Wizard and the Companion for the Apprentice Wizard, while he publishes the first wizard magazine to reach a mass audience, called Green Egg Omelette[煎蛋].
Life of Oberon
Oberon met his wife, Morning Glory, at a pagan[异教徒] festival in 1973, where he was a keynote[主要] speaker. They married less than a year later.
“She is my soul mate,” Oberon admits, “We have everything in common. Wizards believe we are all made of the same matter, and I have never felt more connected to a human being than Morning lory.”
It was a love story straight from Harry Potter as the young wizard fell for his sweetheart while they learned witchcraft[魔法] and wand skills. Together they founded the mystical Ecosophical[生态哲学] Research Association in 1977, before creating a unicorn, called Bedevere, using minor surgery to the horn buds of a goat. The animal has long since died, but Oberon keeps the emarkable skull[头骨] as a prop[支持] in his bizarre[奇异的] home just north of San Francisco.
There he lives with Morning Glory, and a small bearded dragon who lives on his shoulder all day. He drinks a herbal drink he calls a “pengalactic garglegaster注4.”
Oberon says the Potter-buzz[波特热] has increased enrolment in his school: “Of course I love Harry Potter,” admits Oberon. “He has increased the interest in wizardry 1000 fold, as if by magic.”
现实版“霍格沃茨”
他是现实版的巫师校长，足以与《哈利·波特》中的邓布利多相匹敌。
现年68岁的奥伯伦·泽尔-瑞文哈特将一生的精力都用于研究黑魔法，甚至去超市购物时也穿着巫师袍，带着魔杖。
如今，这位魔法大师开办了全球唯一一所注册魔法学校——格雷魔法学校，要把霍格沃茨魔法学校和哈利·波特的世界变成现实。
“如果你看过《哈利·波特》，想知道我们当中是不是真有巫师，他们可能躲在一个隐秘的火车站台后面，或者是某些秘密团体的一员——那我可以告诉你，我们确实存在，”来自美国加利福尼亚州科塔蒂的奥伯伦说道。
奥伯伦·泽尔-瑞文哈特开办的格雷魔法学校成为首个被官方认定为学术机构的魔法学校。
与霍格沃茨一样，格雷魔法学校分为16个系，教授内容包括炼金术、驭兽术、马语、魔杖制作和咒语施法等。
在这所独特的“秘密”学校里，学生被分为四大古老学院，即风、水、土、火。与波特一样，大家都要学习对抗致命黑魔法的防御术。
格雷魔法学校宣称校内有735名学生。奥伯伦称其中100名学生不满18岁，他们就是“未来的哈利·波特”。该校目前只是一所网络学院，定期开办真实的巫师训练营。“麻瓜”学习7年后可以拿到熟练魔法师证。
“这是一份真正的资格证，”奥伯伦坚称。“我们教授高级‘魔法数学’、量子论、宇宙哲学与玄学、综合知识、草药学及所有古老的学问。”据悉他已经出价打算买下位于蒙大纳州圣赫勒拿岛的一座大型古堡，这座古堡将成为一所全日制学院，就跟霍格沃茨魔法学校一样。“我们将为年轻的巫师举办秘密夏令营，也非常希望毕业生们可以通过四年学习修得魔法师学位。”
“其他的所谓魔法学校都是骗人的，他们不招收小孩，”奥伯伦说。“我想帮助下一群哈利·波特们学习魔法。”只需花上18英镑即可入会，奥伯伦称他可以向每个学生传授基本魔法，老少皆可。
现实版“邓布利多”
奥伯伦说：“在魔法界，人们称我为真实的邓布利多。但在《哈利·波特》问世之前，人们叫我梅林或甘道夫。”
奥伯伦曾担任教师和顾问，早在J·K·罗琳构思《哈利·波特》系列之前，他就开始向有志成为巫师的人教授咒语了。
在20世纪80年代初，奥伯伦宣称自己创造出世界上第一头独角兽，成为有名的怪人。令人难以置信的是，自称“魔法大师”的奥伯伦只是给一头山羊做了个小手术，让它变成了一头独角羊，这在当时成了美国各大媒体的头版新闻。
随后，一家著名马戏团带着这头“独角兽”在美国进行巡演。“每个魔法师都梦想拥有一头独角兽，我们做到了，”奥伯伦说道。他目前和63岁的妻子——女巫莫宁·格洛里一起生活。1985年，他还在澳大利亚和新几内亚组织了一场潜水探险活动，探寻美人鱼的古老传说。
奥伯伦也是一名作家，他写了很多教科书，这些书被巫师界称为“魔法圣经”。他最近著有《魔法入门》《魔法指南》，同时他还出版了第一本面向大众的巫师杂志——
《绿煎蛋》。
生活中的奥伯伦
奥伯伦在1973年的一场异教徒庆典上与其妻莫宁·格洛里邂逅，那时他是主要发言人。他们认识不到一年就结婚了。
“她是我的灵魂伴侣，”奥伯伦如是说，“我们总是志趣相投，巫师们认为所有人都是由同样的物质构成，但从来没有任何人像莫宁·格洛里那样吸引我。”
他们相爱的故事简直像是从《哈利·波特》中抽取出来一般，年轻的巫师在学习魔法与魔杖技巧时与自己的心上人坠入爱河。他们于1977年共同创办了神秘的生态哲学研究协会，随后他们对一头山羊的羊角动了个小手术，创造出“独角兽”比德威尔。这只动物很久之前就已经死掉了，但奥伯伦在他位于三藩市北部古怪的家中还保存着它的头骨作为佐证。
他现在和莫宁·格洛里生活在一起，一只有胡须的小蜥蜴整天趴在他的肩膀上。他还喝一种被他称为“全宇宙最强”的草药。
奥伯伦称“波特热”使他的学校入学人数大增。“我当然喜欢哈利·波特，”奥伯伦承认。“他让人们对魔法的兴趣涨了1000倍，就像施了魔法一样。”
