What are some of your favorite books with magical academies? I’d love to hear about them!
Terry Pratchett’s Discworld – although we see more of the faculty staff at the Unseen Academy than the students, it’s still got at least three magical universities. Not to mention the wandering teachers who go from village to village on the Chalk.
