At first glance, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry seems like the most beautiful, magical place in all the fictional world.

But underneath the cobblestone walkways and masked by the antique furniture lies a sinister side of Hogwarts even Gryffindors are afraid to face.

On Reddit, people are sharing the worst parts of the wizard factory, and they are as ridiculous as a Rictusempra Charm, Vote up your favorite reason why Hogwarts is an epic fail.

    Detention Is Pure Torture

    Posted by Redditor u/bunkscudda:

    Detention is brutal!

    Posted by Redditor u/bub4ba_hunt:
