[HPforGrownups] Questions to ponder

[Kimberly Roth]

No: HPFGUIDX 84580

       Two questions to ponder for fun:  (One)What do you think Dudley 
  heard when the dementors came after him at the beginning of OotP? and 
  (Two) How did other muggle-born wizards learn where to buy their 
  school supplies and how to get onto Platform 9 and 3/4 once they 
  received their Hogwarts' letters?  Harry would not have known how to 
  do any of this without Hagrid or the chance meeting with the Weasley 
  family.  How did Hermione or Colin Creevey manage?

Or better yet, how did Hermione or other muggle born wizards know or learn about Hogwarts
and how do they convince their parents to let them go to school there?  I mean, if muggles do
not know about the magical world, why would they so willingly send their children to a wizard
school vs regular school?
