But for a whole civilized society to be doing that?
Maybe there are professional tutors. I doubt Narcissa was sitting in the schoolroom teaching Draco how to multiply.
Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

The Buffista Book Club: the Harry Potter iteration
This thread is a focused discussion group. Please see the first post below for the current topic and upcoming book discussions. While natter will inevitably happen, we encourage you to treat this like a virtual book club and try to keep your posts in that spirit.
By consensus, this thread is reopened specifically to discuss Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It will be closed again once that discussion has run its course.

I don't think home-educated negates nurseries and what-not. She could mean they don't have formal schools, but rather informal groups for children with rotating parent/teachers teaching them the basics.

It wouldn't be so hard to tell us that there are Wizarding Nurseries! Plus - cute! And funny! And the teachers should get danger money!

That just doesn't mesh with my view of wizarding society. Considering most of wizarding society is so far removed from contact with the Muggle world that they are bemusedly confused by things like batteries and rubber ducks and that there are Muggle Studies classes available at Hogwarts, it doesn't seem too much of a stretch that there are Witch/Wizard -only primary schools.

I read a fanfic somewhere in which this is what Remus did before he got the DADA position before PoA.

Fay and Jilli, did you read the JKR 3 part interview at muggle.net or the leaky cauldron? I ask because the interviewers pose the question about people other than James being in love with Lilly.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Has it been said which chapter from HPB was originally in CoS?

I don't know if it was one complete chapter (although the first one in HBP has been written for quite some time, according to JKR), but I think the entire "the diary is a Horcrux" issue was removed from CoS and put into HBP.

That's what I was thinking as well.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I believe it was Chapter One.
(And I'm almost tempted to write about Wee!Wizards at Primary School, Jilli. Except that there are so many things I should be writing right now. Mostly I'm pecking away at an Original Novel, type thing. (12,000 words so far, which is a measly 3 chapters. Sigh. Although I've been doing a lot of thinking about it, and characters, even when not actually, er, writing.)

Oooh, no. I should go read that.

Oh, I know. But that doesn't stop me from hoping.
