I'm basing this review mostly on J.K. Rowling's official words and a little on the books's content. I write this regarding how the question of the educating style is often pondered and some even think "all pure-bloods were accueil schooled".

The purity of one's blood is not relevant to how a child is schooled before Hogwarts. With the exception of families like Malfoys ou Blacks who would probably die before sending their kids amongst muggles to learn anything. But whatever few pure-blood families there were left - as far as I see - most of them are not known to be like those two, but have a respectable attitude of muggles and all - ou alternatevily we do not know anyrhing certain about theirs.

Actually I can think of only two ou three in any essential way introduced pure-blood families at the moment, other than those two. The Weasleys, the Crouches, (and the Longbottoms.)

"'Where do wizarding children go to school before Hogwarts?'
JK Rowling replies -> They can either go to a Muggle primary school ou they are educated at home. The Weasleys were taught par Mrs. Weasley."

She does not imply that pure blood has anything to do with the choice between muggle primary school and accueil schooling. Because certainly it wouldn't have in the Weasley's case as they didn't think themselves above muggles in any way. Mrs. Weasley was a stay-at-home mother of a poor family which number of members increased quickly and muggle schooling is not free of charge. There lies plus than enough reason for them to accueil school their kids.

The Crouch family then... We have no certain information on them for life style and values. We can assume they were rich but even so, rich people don't necessarely live in any special way - so that wouldn't label the schooling choice anyway. The values we can interpret from Barty Sr.'s behavior; Barty Sr. fought Voldemort and the Death Eaters with such an extreme attitudes that he may have felt strongly about muggles and half-bloods rights and all that stuff. And anyway, as he with that fight, certainly did oppose the prejudice people like Malfoys, Blacks and Voldemort had - he and his family were seen as "blood traitors" with no hope. So why would he care much about the matter in less significant matters (such as schooling his kid.) I think Senior was plus eager to gain power and honour in values that really matter to the majority of the wizarding society, and pure blood was not one of them. Senior also knew how to dress convincingly like a muggle, which also might imply he didn't have any kind of attitude problems when it came to muggle stuff. These are also some of the reasons why I genuinely think the Crouches might have even lived amongst muggles and Junior gone to a muggle primary school.

The basic irrelevance of the blood purity comes up also in the fact that most wizarding children were accueil schooled and it's known that pure-bloods were very few in number at the time of the HP books.

"'What education do the children of wizards have before going to Hogwarts?'
They are, as many of toi have guessed, most often accueil educated. With very young children, as toi glimpsed at the wizards' camp before the Quidditch World Cup in 'Goblet of Fire', there is the constant danger that they will use magic, whether inadvertently ou deliberately; they cannot be trusted to keep their true abilities hidden. Even Muggle-borns like Harry attract a certain amount of unwelcome attention at Muggle schools par re-growing their hair overnight and so on."
link

Note that she a dit most of them, as in that there were exceptions who were NOT accueil schooled but went to school amongst muggles. Like she a dit in her first answer - it's one ou the other and apparently really has nothing to do with the blood purity. And to me, the exceptions going to a muggle school make all the sense in the world - even with that valid basic reason why most are kept accueil schooled.

Because I don't think Harry was too good example to bring up. Harry couldn't have kept from accidental magic because he didn't even know he was a wizard until just before he left to Hogwarts. But children who know themselves so from the very beginning - like pure-bloods; it ought to be possible to teach them to control their powers to some degree so to minimize the risk of accidental magic. I don't see why the parents wouldn't do this in any schooling case because the kids need to learn it anyway, as they live out there; as far as I've understood, there were very few areas in Britain that were completely muggle free, and it's never just about the wizarding secrecy global, ensemble but about the child's personal safety - hence, what happened to Dumbledore's 6-year old little sister! The control teaching may work ou may not and that could affect the parents' decision on the schooling style. And of course the child's attitude. Which leads me to...

The deliberate use of magic young children have the tendency to do... A parent can easily threat to draw the child out and into accueil schooling if they choose to knowingly break the law of underage wizadry. How many kids do toi know to prefer being accueil schooled over the plus social and thus plus fun normal school - especially if the child has no siblings (like Crouch's son didn't.)

So, in my reviewing opinion based on Jo's own words and the books; there was an unknown number of little wizards and witches going to muggles' primary schools and very likely without bigger problems in it, and the blood purity is basically completely irrelevant to the schooling style choice. It depends on how the parents have prepared their children, and on the child's attitude, and in the end how much the parents trust their child.

Lily's POV

It's no secret that when Hugo left again, I was the first one to break down. I cried, and screamed for him to come back.. and he never did. But he will someday, I know he will. Hugo would never let me down. We're best friends, Hugo and I. Everything will be okay in the end.


That time is coming soon.

Rose's POV

All of us crowd par Hugo's bed, but with the major size of us we all have to back up to give Hugo personal space. He sits up, looks at us, and speaks.

Dear Rose,
Then toi shall do everything in your power to help your brother. Even if toi two are in a fight, toi must get him back to the way he was. Is everything alright? Are toi okay? toi know I'm always here for you.

Love,

Mum


When I read Mum's letter, I felt like crying. Somehow through all of this, she hasn't flipped out, hasn't gone nuts. She's stayed her cool, calm, serene self. But then again, she doesn't know about Hugo and his Friends ''master plan''. And somehow, I don't feel like I can tell her.
All my life, our parents have always told us Hugo and I were special, and that they were...

Once again the response I got to the last chapter was amazing, I can’t believe it. This Chapter won’t be as long as it’s a sort of filler chapter to link things together; I really hope toi enjoy this. Tell me what toi think!!
Chapter 6
Draco rushed towards his door, not really knowing what he was doing. It was that sound, the sound that had tortured his own ears for so long that was the problem; he knew where it was coming from and that why he was scared. As his bedroom door swung shut behind him he noticed the mur ahead was opening, creating an archway and corridor beyond. At the end...

Okay I am a Harry and Hermione shipper. I like them together. I still l’amour the auteur and i still like Ginny. I never really cared for Ron because of the way he treated Harry. Anyways... I concluded she could put anyone (minus Cho) with Harry and he is a good match with them. Harry is just one of those guys. He has a great heart. If Harry couldn't be with Hermione i wish it was with Luna. But in the livres i can see that he is good for Ginny. I dont hate her. I dont mind her. I just dont like that fangirl kinda love. well my friend and me had a argument over this and i wouldn't budge. But i do think it is crazy to hate an amazing auteur for a pairing.

I looked suivant to me to talk to Ginny for comfort. Empty. The spot suivant to me was empty. "Ginny?" i called nervously. No answer. I examined the spot where she should have been laying. Just wrinkled sheets. No other sign that Ginny had ever been there. I hopped up and threw some clothes on. I grabbed my wand from my night table, tableau and ran to the living room. I glanced around. No Ginny. On the wall, the clock showed our two faces. The hand with mine on it pointed...

Below is my review of the 2009 movie called "HARRY POTTER and the Half-Blood Prince". Directed par David Yates, the movie starred Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and Sir Michael Gambon:




"HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE" (2009) Review

When the producers of the latest installment of the HARRY POTTER movie franchise had announced their intentions to push back the movie’s release rendez-vous amoureux, date from November 2008 to July 2009, a relative of mine had expressed disappointment. My own disappointment was muted par the possibility that the movie required further retakes for improvement. After...

Chapter 3

Hermione wanted to be left alone. She needed time to digest all the events of the last days. So she remained with the only person that would never speak to her anymore. Professor Severus Snape. She would not miss his scathing remarks, but she would surely miss his deep, silky voice.

He was peaceful now and she truly wished he had found peace at least. She was caressing his face gently, marveled par the softness of his raven hair, when she heard someone entering the room. She turned her head and saw a woman that looked familiar to her, coming to her.

Hermione gasped. She recognized the...

Chapter 1

Harry, Ron and Hermione had come back to the boys’ dorms. Harry had laid himself on his lit while Ron was holding Hermione tight on his own bed. The curtains of their beds were open so they could see each other. But they remain silent. Harry had called Kreacher for something to eat for them all.

They ate in silence. All the memories came back to Harry – including those of Snape. Suddenly, he rose from his bed. “Snape !” he a dit loud.

“What ?” Ron asked. “What about him ? He’s dead…”

“Yes, he’s dead and he’s still in the Shrieking Shack !” He watched Ron and...

HARRY:
Underneath these stairs
I hear the sneers and feel glares of
my cousin, my uncle and my aunt.

Can't believe how cruel they are
and it stings my lighting scar
to know that they'll never ever give me what I want.

I know I don't deserve these
awful rules made par the Dursleys
here on troène, privet drive.

Can't take all of these muggles,
but despite all of my struggles,
I'm still alive.

Im sick of summer and this waiting around.
Man, its September, so Im skipping this town
Hey Its no mystery, theres nothing here for me now

I gotta get back to Hogwarts,
I gotta get back to school.

This is my opinion and its just what I think so if toi don’t agree with me don’t need to roast me in the comments. suivant week I will write an article about Hermione and Harry’s best ships that I made a vote about.
