But does Hogwarts have an official mascot?
If you spent Wednesday dressed in wizard's robes while camped outside a movie theater, you might be interested to know that Carnegie Mellon alumnus Michael Goldenberg penned the screenplay for "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"--which, by the way, pulled down $12 million at its midnight screenings yesterday. Goldenberg graduated in 1986 from our College of Fine Arts. Our records, however, fail to indicate whether he was a member of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin while he was a student here.
