HogwartsWe do seem to love our reality TV shows. So far we’ve had Pop Idol, Wife Swap, Big Brother, and Fear Factor to name just a few. But what’s missing they say? Children. When I first read about this, I was very worried. Are children now going to be put through the humiliation that is Big Brother? But no, thankfully the new reality show featuring kids will be quite different. The show, named the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, will follow a group of children learning magic in a Harry-Potter style boarding house. They will be taught all kinds of card tricks and illusions at the school. Not only will it be fun for the kids on the show, but viewers at home can also try out the tricks for themselves. Sadly, the show promises to teach no real magic or Quidditch, but it does look kind of cute and I may look out for it when it airs later this year.
