Kyle Hubler, a teacher at Evergreen Middle School and hardcore Harry Potter fan, decided to start of the new school year with a surprise for his students. Over the summer, he spent five weeks (and 70 hours!) transfiguring his traditional classroom into a space lifted straight out of Hogwarts.

It wasn't only love for J.K. Rowling's masterpiece that inspired to decorate the classroom. Hubler told the Huffington Post that the series' lessons about "acceptance, loyalty, and integrity" inform his teaching today, and he wanted kids to feel excited about entering his classroom. He added that he had incorporated elements of Harry Potter in his decorations the previous year and wanted to go bigger this time. I would declare that particular mission achieved.

To get to the room you walk across  platform 9 3/4, and when you enter it's straight into a wonderous wizarding world. Bookshelves line the walls, brooms are leaning against those bookshelves. Lots of candles, and other awesome stuff, straight out of Hogwarts. A real chess set, all of the quidditch balls, a life-size pensieve, and even a sorting hat!

"I got to reveal the classroom to my students yesterday and they loved it!" Hubler wrote on Facebook. "Seeing their faces light up made all the time and effort put into this totally worth it! We're going to have a fun year!" He told ABC News that his favorite part of the big reveal was listening to the "audible gasps" when students entered his realm. Some rushed around from corner to corner to inspect the decorations. Honestly, who wouldn't do the same thing?
