Hiking trails. Scenic views. A wizard school?

"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, in a new piece of writing on the Pottermore website, has identified Mount Greylock in Adams as the site of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry -- North America's answer to Hogwarts.

The new fiction comes before the November release of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," a film set in the Harry Potter universe but taking place in jazz-age America.

Rowling had teased information about the United States' wizard academy in January, but only announced Tuesday that the school is in Massachusetts -- which, given the past of Salem, has as good a claim on America's witching history as any state.
