A Redditor uploaded photos of his wife's classroom, which she transformed into a truly magical world.

According to the Redditor, his wife teaches special education to sixth through eighth graders. On the Reddit thread, the teacher explained that they'll be reading the Harry Potter books as part of the curriculum, "I plan to implement fun activities as we go along in the book (one chapter per week). For example, when Harry gets his wand, we will make wands in my classroom. When they get sorted in the book, we will get sorted in real life. It'll be fun activities so it's not just another boring core class."
