Harry Potter reality series coming to the BBC

Harry Potter becomes a reality on the BBCOf course, this is an entire new usage of the word "reality." You know, the kind of reality where kids have magical powers and can fly around on broomsticks? My dictionary needs some serious updating. Apparently a new series coming to the BBC entitled The Sorcerer's Apprentice (no, we aren't kidding) will enroll fourteen kids into a Hogwarts-esque school where they "will be schooled in magic history and folklore, told the latin terms for casting spells, and taught how to look after resident magic animals. As their knowledge and skills progress they will also be taught the art of illusion."

Apparently they'll basically be taught magic by lesser known David Copperfields and Lance Burtons, thereby making this potentially one of the greatest must see train wreck shows in television history. Yes, kids are adorable, but watching them try to learn sleight of hand so they don't get voted off a TV show? Ouch-tastic. Stay tuned for more as the secrets are revealed. You might also brace yourself for a lot of magical puns, because I just can't help myself.

What is this world coming to that people are finding sport in messing around with Satanic things. Yes lets screw up the children even more and call it reality! People need to realize that it isn't a game and demons do exhist and they aren't fictional beings. Messing around with magic is messing around with demons! They are real and growing more rapid everyday because of stupid people like these!

Um, wasn't this the exact plot of the Disney Channel Original Movie, "Now You See It..."?
