I was thinking about something. If underage witches and wizards can only use their magic at school, but they are home schooled, can they use their magic then? I mean, in this book Harry got in trouble, but Rowling has said that magical children could be home schooled if their parents chose.

Just wondering.

Well I think they obviously could if the ministry was aware of them being home schooled.

The underge students are homeschooled before attending Hogwarts. They are taught how to read and write, do arithmatic... that sort of thing. They don't need magic for that.

No, some students are taught magic at home as well. Not everyone goes to Hogwarts, as we learned in Goblet of Fire.

Ohh, well yeah, of course once you start schooling then the Ministry would allow that. I guess the magic teaching would being at age 11 in the UK.

if anyone chooses to learn magic by home school, i guess the ministry would let them, how else will they learn, off books?
