Raised by Muggles

>>>> One thing about Muggleborns that I don't think was ever mentioned...If someone came to me, or a letter came, saying my son was a wizard and was accepted at a wizardling school, I would be like, "Yeah, right." And I would really doubt the veracity of anyone that came to my house in weird clothes and wanted to help me find oddly-named train platforms and take me to unknown streets. I would probably call the police!! LOL.

I wonder if any Muggle parents ever had that reaction? <<<<

Bruce:
After eleven years of shrinking sweaters, growing hair, inflated aunts, released pythons, teddy bears turning into spiders, etc.?  These sort of uncontrolled releases of magical energy happen with wizardling children.  In wizardling families, the parents know this and take precautions to keep the chaos within bounds.  Muggle parents who throw a magesport would probably find the Hogwarts Letter and a visit from a Hogwarts teacher or a MoM official something of a relief.

Another thing occurs to me--Kinsley is probably not the only wizardling mole.  I bet there are lots of other wizards who live and work among Muggles, blending in as best they can, and not a few of them are in professions that bring them into contact with children, and are placed where they can keep an eye on magesports (who are identified at birth by the magic quill at Hogwarts, which records the
date, time, and place of every magebirth in the British Isles; I'm guessing that not a few of the mole wizards are Healers working in Muggle medicine as obstetricians, midwives, and maternity nurses.)
