Number of Students

No: HPFGUIDX 8097

I've always been confused on the topic of how many people attend 
Hogwarts.  In Harry's year in his house there are 8 known students 
and if there are only around that number of students to each house 
for each year there couldn't be 1000 students as someone said J.K. 
said in an interview.  It is all really confusing to me.  I can see 
maybe half the number of students and Harry's year is just smaller 
than the rest but i never got the fealing of a thousand students 
being there.  Also another note, I read in an interview from a long 
time ago that J.K. said that there were between 600-800 students so 
she really needs to make up her mind and potray that amount of 
students through her books.

(PS: i'm new to this group and i just want to say that i'm a big 
Harry Potter fan and that i am so happy i have somewhere to talk 
about the books, no one i know is into the books and it's been a pain 
having to keep my questions and thoughts about them bottled up inside 
me!  You all will be hearing alot from me!)
