Oklahoma Institute for Muggle Studies

This Harry-Potter-themed house includes a giant outdoor dragon inside a gated yard. Markers outside the gate provide information on the history of the Oklahoma Institute for Muggle Studies. It didn't seem like there was room for the entire text of the two markers, but it's good reading!

[Debby S., 08/10/2024]

The Institute tutors young wizards how best to live in a world filled with non-magical people, aka Muggles.
