Coincidentally just one day after the first day of classes begin at Hogwarts (September 1st), a new poll by LOVEFiLM reveals that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is the best of any fictional education institution.

The newspaper reports:

HOGWARTS has topped the league tables – as the all-time best screen school.

Fans clearly preferred lessons in witchcraft and wizardry to more traditional classes in maths and English, edging ahead of Grease’s Rydell High and Shermer High from The Breakfast Club.

The Harry Potter school picked up 45% of the votes in the poll for streaming and DVD rental service Lovefilm.

More than 1500 film fans gave their choices, ahead of the start of the autumn school term.

We imagine many of our readers will agree with this poll. But which schools rounded out the top 10?

1. Hogwarts (Harry Potter series)
2. Rydell High (Grease)
3. Sunnydale High (Buffy The Vampire Slayer)
4. Shermer High (The Breakfast Club)
5. Bayside High (Saved By The Bell)
6. Horace Green (School Of Rock)
7. Padua Stadium High (10 Things I Hate About You)
8. William McKinkley High (Glee)
9. Westerberg High (Heathers)
10. New York City High School for the Performing Arts (Fame)
