We all need to escape from reality every once in a while, that's why we all love the adventures and excitement that come with the  stories and settings we find in books and movies. These fictional places feed our need for magic and mystery more than we ever could imagine. Just because they're not real, doesn't mean we can't keep loving these places and the out-of-this-world experience that these authors come up with, right?

Transfiguration? Charms? Defense Against the Dark Arts? Quidditch? Count us in! Other than the unique (and snooze-free) classes that Hogwarts has to offer, the life of a witch or wizard is definitely one of the most enviable and exciting things you could only imagine. Being sorted at your respective Houses, learning how to fly with broomsticks, rows of food at the Great Hall, Harry and his friends are definitely living the life! But every magical place has its dark side; with Hogwarts moving stairs and portraits, eerie (and live) forests, and dark secrets that lingers every corner of this majestic campus, every day is an adventure that tests the wit and bravery of every witch and wizard.

 3  Camp Half Blood

It has more than your average summer camp, with Camp Half-Blood featuring an archery field, a sword-fighting arena, a climbing wall with lava for training, an amphitheater amongst other areas for training. Now, if only we could all be demigods!
