Brakebills is ultimately the better school.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In the world of magical education, The Magicians' Brakebills University and the Hogwarts Academy of Harry Potter Hogwarts Academy stand as exemplary institutions. Both teach the art of magic in unique ways, lending stark differences for comparison.
With the professors at Brakebills mostly taking a back seat in the plot, Hogwarts teachers come out on top. From Headmaster Albus Dumbledore to the Half-Blood Prince, Hogwarts professors are there to support students, though not always in the most obvious ways. In the Harry Potter franchise teachers became beloved characters along with the main student characters.
The Brakebills students are more exciting to watch since they have more opportunities away from the watchful eye of headmasters, deans, and professors. They are brooding with infinite snark, take riskier chances, have more access to power, and grow in ways we have not yet seen from the Harry Potter students. The aptitude test taken upon entry to the university filters out less elite students, so the campus is filled with highly skilled magicians who are ready to hone their powers.
Which School Is Deadlier: Hogwarts Or Brakebills The forces on the Hogwarts campus are deadlier than those on Brakebills, with menacing elements like the Whomping Willow, the Chamber of Secrets, and a three-headed dog named Fluffy built into the castle's framework. For the most part, at both schools, the danger came from outside the schools themselves.
