Slow week here at the Ink desk, but we’ve scrounged around some bits for you. This week’s theme is “disappointment.” Princeton gets beat out in two things it holds most dearly: being compared to Hogwarts and making money. There’s a band called Princeton, but not at all related to the university. Also, we reconsider the Derek Zoolander Center for Ants.

You can tell this is Cornell because Harry is about to jump out that window

• IvyGate brings us our first disappointment of the week, a list of the “5 Campuses if you want the Harry Potter Experience.” Katherine Cohen, one of those newfangled college application counselors, compiled the list, and seems to have used no method or reason to make the choices she did. Yale made the list (alright), and so did Cornell (what?). Cohen’s reasoning: “Like competitors in the TriwizardChallenge, Cornellians wear their red scarves when they compete against their Ivy League rivals.” Uh, cool, I guess. This might outrage Whitman kids, what with their Harry Potter nights and all, but come on guys, this is a blessing in disguise. We hope high school students don’t seriously consider “the Harry Potter experience” when applying to colleges. Oh, wait, what’s that Ms. Cohen?

Although none of my students have listed being a “muggle” on their resumes, many students have wanted to attend a campus that is reminiscent of what they have read or seen in Rowling’s books.

Alright, Cornell, you can have those.
