What are you talking about?

Aren't all wizards boys/men?

Answer 3

To start off, there can only be a boy wizard, for wizards are usually boys, and girls come under the category of witches.

Now, if you are talking about real life, then no one has proven that witchcraft or wizardry even exist. Yet, there have been many circumstances when certain anecdotes could not be explained scientifically, so people assumed it was magic. Whether magic was the catalyst behind the unexplainable incidents, we do not know, yet what else could it have been?

In medieval times, people were burned alive or tortured if they were suspected of having interacted with any kind of magic, so even if there was or is a boy wizard he might have been or be hiding. There of course have been a few people who have been suspected of magic, like Nostradamus and Merlin; and there are only a two out of the many people who have seemed to have possessed otherworldly powers.

However, if you are speaking of boy wizards in books, then a few examples can be provided. For example: Harry Potter, Merlin, Tamwyn Eopia, and many more.

However, we will never really know if there was a boy wizard, but who knows? Maybe we just have not been looking in the right places.
