Children who grew up in the Harry Potter era may have been saddened by the fact they never got an invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on their 11th birthday. While the school is not affiliated with author J.K. Rowling or Warner Bros., Kirstein said, all camp attendees will receive a special letter of their own.
