Years after the muggle television has been studied and modified with magic, there's a telly in the home of every witch and wizard. Programming like goblin talk shows and music videos are being forgotten in the wake of the popularity of reality TV shows.
Get Real is one such show. Conceived by Maximus Trimble and Rhonda Roads, it was meant to be all about the life of the "real" Hogwarts student and the dramatic tears, laughs, and loves that blossom between them. Sort of. The first season of the show was a national hit. Maximus Trimble and Rhonda Roads were rich beyond their wildest dreams and the students of Hogwarts became celebrities overnight. Premiere parties, interviews, fan letters, and free merchandise became routine for those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunities. For those that didn't, there was no escape.
Anyone and anything that goes on the castle is fair game to be featured on the show. Don't like it? Get home schooled or transfer to Beauxbatons. Will you take advantage of the chance to get easy money for doing nothing but turn up for class? Will you stand up and refuse to be exploited just so Headmaster Slughorn can make himself look good? Or will you keep your head low and hope that you're not next? | |

don't let the muggles get you down!
If you ask students at London University about Wenlock College, the nicest reaction you will receive is a dismissive smirk. No one has ever heard of it until they arrive on university premises, where it is universally presented as a nuthouse. Nor do its students do much to alleviate this impression, walking around in odd clothing and referencing such made up people as Waffling and Dumbledore rather than Nietzsche or Derrida. Fortunately, these oddballs keep almost entirely to themselves—no one can remember a Wenlock student ever being in one of their courses or dormitories.
That is, until this year.
All of a sudden, Wenlock students are enrolled in introductory chemistry courses, and literature, and philosophy, and anthropology—and worst of all, they seem to not even understand the very basic principles that other university students learned well before their A-levels. When they mutter about Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration in the middle of a physics lecture, or chuckle to each other over a history lesson on the witch burnings of the Middle Ages, students at London University have to wonder: just what do they teach at Wenlock College?
Feigning is a next-generation, post-Hogwarts Harry Potter game focusing on the struggles of wizarding university students who find themselves suddenly required to take Muggle courses—without breaking the Statute of Secrecy. Opens 6 July.
