BlackHogwarts What If Hogwarts Were A Black School?
almost 8 years in Huffpost
JK Rowlings's Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter books is magical, bizarre and outlandish –– the invisible clock, the flying brooms, the moving pictures –– all the epitome of wild imaginings that explain why the genre's called "fantasy".
But on the subject of wild fantasy: what if, just for one day, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was an all-black school?

The hashtag attracted all the funniest black stereotypes as told by black folks, adapted to the world of Hogwarts. Here are some of the #BlackHogwarts tweets that led to coffee-soaked keyboards:
