The NY Times has an opinion piece by a high school student who is doing the college tour thing and comments on the heavy handed usage of the colleges he has visited to compare themselves to things in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter's Hogwarts. Now, from an adult perspective, this may seem like a brilliant PR move since it can be assumed that a large number of potential students will be familiar with the world of Harry Potter and they would enjoy going to college that is in some way similar to Hogwarts. Of course, the adults have it wrong. Read Lauren Edelson's article to see why: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/opinion/06edelson.html
