If you're someone who has always wished they could say they attended [Hogwarts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hogwarts-house-keycaps) school of witchcraft and wizardry, these Hogwarts college alumni sweaters are a great way to pretend you did. Designed to look like a real college alumni sweater, you'll have no trouble at all making people believe that you're a degree certified wizard.

Etsy shop owner 'PrinTrending' has created these super realistic Hogwarts alumni sweaters for all those who wished that the wizarding school was a real place. The Hogwarts alumni pullover gray sweater follows a standard college shirt design with the school's name above the detailed Hogwarts crest featuring the [Gryffindor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shein-x-harry-potter-collection1), [Slytherin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-korea-x-harry-potter), Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw houses.
