What will you do?  |
|
 While reading the first book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone for my daughter (she have already watched the movie), who is 7 years old, we came to the part where Harry was sent the letter of invitation to study in Hogwarts. She was keenly listening to me read tha part and after I finished she asked me Mom, what will you do if any of us, (she or her brother) got an invite from a magic school to study there when we turn 11?
It was just a simple question, but made me think hard. What will I do? I told her the answer after a few mins, that I will definitely send. As it is a rare previlage. None in my side or my husband's side could do even simple tricks. So if she/her brother gets a chance to learn to do it, why to stop?
So what will you do, if your kid gets an invite to study in a magic school like hogwarts?

1.  Shawchert (460) | 3 months ago |  Oh I would definately let my child go, as long as he or she would want to go, if my child doesn't want to go I won't for him or her. So that's what I would do:D

| Swaana (986) | 3 months ago | Thats a good choice. Leaving the option to the kid will definitely give them a choice to make decisions of their own. | |
|
|
| Shawchert (460) | 3 months ago | yeah I like giving them choices, but you do have to limit them so they know you are in charge, but with something like this there's only two choices lol. | |

| 2. anneshirley (53) | 3 months ago |  Well, first the child must like to go there to study because if the child does not want to then it will be a waste. Second, weight the pros and cons of the situation and third if the child opted to go, make sure there will be a trusted guardian in the school.

|
| Swaana (986) | 3 months ago | Thats right, if there is someone like Dumbledore or atleast Snape (now that we know he protects Harry), we could send our kids without fear. | |

3.  fizanali (224) | 3 months ago |  Well i think though i really loved the Harry Potter series but i can't believe there would be a magical school like hogwards out there. Even if there was magic but there couldn't be a proper school to teach it! I wouldn't send my child on such a invitation cause i would think that may be someone wants to kidnap my child.!!

|
|
| Swaana (986) | 3 months ago | Oh yeah! you need to check whether this is not a kidnapping letter. But what will you do if it turns out to be a true one. | |

5.  aseretdd (3240) | 3 months ago |  If that happens... i will be very very jealous since i also want to study in a school like hogwarts... but i will definitely allow her to study there... since not everyone gets that priviledge... and i will surely be very proud of her... and even ask her for some magic tricks when she is already allowed to do some outside school...

|
|
| Swaana (986) | 3 months ago | Oh good. Jealous, yes, I too will be as i too want to study there, if they take some part time courses for adults then I am sure, I will be the first one to join. | |

| 6. inapaulineabelon (67) | 3 months ago |  No doubt about it..i will let my child go. There's no question to this. It's a once of a lifetime opportunity and every parent would be proud if their child qualifies for Hogwarts.
| |

|
|
| Swaana (986) | 3 months ago | You are right, that will be a once in a life time opportunity, so why stop the kids and us too being proud of that chance. | |

| 7. simple_joy1587 (55) | 3 months ago |  As far as we know that the Harry potter movie and book is just a fruit of imagination... a literary works that we tend to imagine... i already read the six book of the harry potter... But If I have a child and like what age starts in the book to study at Hogwarts and my child is invited... Why not if he likes to go.. as long as he has an interest and that ability...

| 8. ladysman94 (76) | 2 months ago | Yes I would let my children go if they where invited to come I would even ask them if they would allow me to come and learn to. | |
| |
|
|
| Swaana (986) | 3 weeks ago | Thats so nice to know ladysman. Yes, we all really like to be in the magical world of hogwarts. | |

| 9. tthom64 (172) | 2 months ago |  I would be like Petunia and try to convince Dumbledore that I should go there too!
| |
| |
|
|
| Swaana (986) | 3 weeks ago | Oh thats a great idea. But why to convince when your kids have got admission there, as a parent you could visit them. | |
