Do young British wizards ....... ?

Question

.......... go to primary school to learn English, Math and other subjects like geography and history, before they go to Hogwarts?

Answer 1

all the Muggle-Born's do. Although I've always wondered how they manage to not have English classes yet still be able to spell and read perfectly well.

Answer 2

Yes they would.  At least Harry did.  Wizards don't start Hogwarts until age 12, so obviously they do something before that.  Since Harry and Hermione were in muggle society before Hogwards, they would have gone to kindergarden and grade school.

Where do the children go who are part of the wizard families?  Interesting question!  But obviously they have all learned, since they read and write...

Answer 3

i've wondered that too. i think they must have.

Answer 4

JK Rowling answered this in an interview.

"Q: Do wizards and witches have to go Muggle school before they go to Hogwarts?  

A: No, they don't have to."

From another interview:

"kai: Where do wizarding children go to school before Hogwarts?

JKR: They can either go to a Muggle primary school or they are educated at home. The Weasleys were taught by Mrs. Weasley."

-----

Of course, muggle-born wizards would go to muggle school because they don't know they are wizards. With pure and half-blood wizards, it's a toss up. Their parents may choose to send them to school or they may choose to teach them at home.

As JKR said, Mrs. Weasley taught her children.

Answer 5

they dont exist so why would they?

Answer 6

I didn't. Alakazam!

Ape Potter.

Answer 7

Yes, in harry potter, they do. As you read and know, they don't find out that they are wizards until they are 11 years old so of course they do.

but if you mean the young wizards that were pure blood, i think that they still might go to school for a little while but i really dont know because like with Ginny, she was crying to go to Hogwarts so i dont think that she had ever been to school.
