Harry Potter ponderings

[anotheranon]

Still listening to the latest book and re-watched the first movie this evening, on something of an HP kick. Made me start wondering:

Where do wizarding kids go to school before the age of 11 when they're sent off to Hogwarts (or Beau Baton, or wherever)? Homeschooling? Do they go to muggle elementary school? They have to learn to read and write somewhere.....

So poor Molly Weasley had to home school all seven of her kids, including Fred & George.

Or, as HP is the most equal saga I have read in a very long time, perhaps Mr and Mrs Weasley home shooled both, or they simply used magic. :)

Sadly, I think Arthur was too busy slaving away at the Ministry in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office to be home enough to home school except maybe on weekends. And they seem to be pretty strict about underage use of magic too.
