Okay, once and for all time, here is the exact number of students
at Hogwarts. After extensive research of the subject, I have used
several supercomputers to predict the influences of several different
factors. Taking into account polar wobble and the change in the earth's
magnetic field, it can be hypothesized that each student represents one
gazillionth of the amount of energy in the universe. Using a sliderule
the exact number comes out to be 379 students plus or minus 500. There,
now that makes the whole story complete in my mind, how about you? I don't
think I could read another one of these books without having that settled.
