A controversial school has found new life in a new home. The Witch School had its share of troubles in the city of Hoopeston before closing earlier this year. The school is now about to reopen in Rossville, even planning a big party for popular fictional wizard, Harry Potter. The school originally wanted to hold a Harry Potter release party while in Hoopeston, but city leaders said no. With just a few days left until their official reopening, workers at the school say theyre finding life is a little easier in their new home. "It really is the difference of night and day," said Witch School Reverend, Don Lewis. "We were really beginning to face quite a bit of negativity in Hoopeston from certain segments of the community and theres none of that here." In town, its hard to find anybody who really doesnt want the school there. Most say its all right with them. "They have been pleasant when I see them out on the streets," said Wendy Dunavan, a neighbor. "As long as they dont cause a problem, I have no problem with them." The school is also hosting an online class called "Harry Potter versus real magic" to coincide with their Harry Potter party.
