Black Twitter got together on Thursday to populate the hashtag #BlackHogwarts by imagining what Hogwarts would have been like if it had been a blacker place.
The results were simply magical.
Users first set up rules for the world, getting everyone on the same page. For instance, the sorting hat became the sorting doorag:
The Sorting Durag. Somebody called it the damn Sorting Durag. I’m in tears. I really do love black people, man. #BlackHogwarts

The Sorting Hat said it best about my Ravenclaw house:
"…in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind."Yup, smart, witty, and always down to learn. #BlackHogwarts

Although it could sometimes be easy to forget with all the fighting, Voldemort, Quidditch and teen romance, Hogwarts was — at the end of the day — a school. So Twitter imagined would classes be like at a Black Hogwarts:
Welcome to Advanced Transfiguration, second years. #BlackHogwarts

That Lupita-Rihanna Black Twitter movie is happening. So who knows? A Black Hogwarts series could be in bookstores before you know it.
