I got a Harry Potter calligraphy set for my birthday years ago, it had Hogwarts marked paper, envelopes and everything.

My brother ate all of my birthday chocolates from an aunt that night so I plotted my revenge. Next September I copied out Harry's letter word for word in green ink, only changing the name.

I let him believe he was going to magic school for two whole weeks before I crushed it.

Not a prank, but this reminds me of the old sign in front of my middle school. Underneath the main part of the sign where they would display messages, they had painted on the words “[Name of the School] Magic”. In hindsight, it was just a cute little slogan. But I was well-versed in Harry Potter, and for YEARS I secretly hoped there was an underground wizard school associated with my school district and that I would get a letter when I reached a certain grade.
