 > Do you think that (if they did go to school) they go to muggle 
schools? At the start of PS/SS Ginny begs her mom to let her go to 
Hogwarts. If they do go to wizarding primary schools would they be 
taught simple charms? If not, what would be the point in having a 
wizarding school and not just going to a muggle school?

Catherine:
> Well for one thing, it wouldn't be very sensible for them to attend 
a Muggle school, as I would've thought that it would be very 
difficult to keep a load of wizarding children quiet about their 
origins etc, and it would be very awkward if they were to develop 
Muggle friendships.

Just look what happened to poor Harry - not even knowing what he was, 
brought up as a muggle, he still managed to turn a teachers hair blue 
and levitate (or something) to the roof of the school. I am surprised 
there weren´t any more fuss about that. Imagin to let loose all the 
wizardingkids of Great Britain (and other parts of the world of 
course... :) in muggleschools, when only four years old for instance, 
demanding them to keep quiet about what they can do (for instance 
with the great bully who threaten them into give him their lunchmoney 
every day...) and to always be wachful of their powers, never letting 
anything (such as dying the teachers wig) slip out. 
I do believe in a Wizarding prep-school, if there´s anyone at all.
