Still pathetic that people should think that going to boarding school is anything like Hogwarts.
Of course, what must be infuriating to socialists like yourself is that J K Rowling (ironically a self-professed socialist) chose to set her children's stories, not in an inner-city comprehensive complete with an ethnically-diverse pupil population and the other trappings of political correctness but a traditional public school setting that makes Ampleforth look like Hackney comp.:D
I remember an officer cadet at Sandhurst commenting that it was like Hogwarts with guns.:D
3) It's apparently normal for many children to spend the whole year there including school holidays, even though their parents could pick them up every night by apparation.
You CAN'T apparate in the grounds of Hogwarts. Don't you know anything?!?!
I could never understand why they kept a house full of evil wizards in the school either.
Also Quidditch's scoring system is fundamentally flawed. Giving 150 points for the golden snitch means whoever gets it almost always wins the game so the other players apart from the seekers are irrelevant.
Sorry, but were you at the Quidditch World Cup, when Krum caught the snitch for Bulgaria, but Ireland won the game?
The scoring system is actually quite complex.
I would not like to go to Hogwarts, because I'm not brave, not clever, not hardworking and not ambitious, so I don't see what house I could be sorted into.

Well you wouldn't apparate into the grounds. That'd be silly. But Hogwarts, like any other school, has school gates. Or they could have daily portkeys (which did occasionally get used).
Oh and 5) Detentions! Anything from a bit gross (disembowelling frog) to downright dangerous (pursuing murderous beasts in a forest infested with centaurs, spiders and other beasts).
Not sure about games, you seem to get a few flying lessons at most and that's it. You would think there would be more physical exercise for them, unless all the food is magically calorie free.
Children of witches and wizards are usually home schooled but I've always wondered how the parents of muggle born witches and wizards get around the fact that their children suddenly stopped attending school aged 11.

Hang on.:o
Are you admitting that it's a place that you weren't visiting just last week or somewhere where you have been living for a couple of years?
That must be a first.:D
Trouble is, I'd probably be about 25 stone by the time I'd left.
If you lived
Who does? We are talking about going to Hogwarts.
:D:D:D

Definitely a muggle.
Riddikulus!

But I'd like to visit to see a Quidditch match.

Me too and I'd teach Voldy a thing or two about being evil.
Incorporated into their lessons.
Science and maths would be in subjects like potions, herbology, transfiguration, and arithmancy.
Your English skills would be covered by all the essay writing they have to do in all the lessons.
Slytherin is the best house of course.
Indeed, you can swagger about the school with your nose upturned, knowing that you have the Dark Lord himself on your side if things turn nasty
with real teenage kids the school would of course be absolutely chaos...I can only imagine what me and my mates would have got up to!:D
Love it! particularly the Michael Jackson/Voldermort reference:D
Surely that should be Ook? with perhaps a small ook on the side and a hefty dose of banana skins.
