The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA), is a relatively small party school with a large military problem. Located just south of Monument, Colorado, is most notably the inspiration for J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" book series. In 1990, after Rowling was expelled from the Academy due to her inability to recite the Star Spangled Banner in Russian, she began writing the first Harry Potter book. Based completely on the experiences of her and a small group of cadets, the only noticeable difference between the series and real life is that at the Academy no one talks with a British accent.
