do you think they had to like brew up a wizard version of "Plan B" or was there like an "baby deleto"spell they had?

I always wondered how Madam Pomfrey handled those unwanted teen pregnancies

Is avada kedavra-ing a fetus considered murder or an acceptable form of wizard-abortion? I heard this has been a point of intense political debate within the Ministry of Magic for centuries.

These are the questions they ask at Uchi prior to agreeing that Avada Kedavra-ing fetuses is wrong but also that Avada Kedavra-ing should be more widely used against everyone else. Hence Durmstrang (the cold seals the deal)

^True

Also, is it possible to just Avada Kedavra the fetus? Are there lasting damages to the fetus bearer? So many questions!

Wow that is a pretty valid question!

We need to get JK on these boards. The people need to know!

As we pick schools, let us remember:

"It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."

[thatblondegirl]

Wait I'm kind of confused. What happens to wizard-born children that don't make it to Hogwarts or the other schools in England (since I'm assuming there's more wizard children than there are seats at these schools)? Do they have like a list of second-tier wizards schools?

OMG! That would explain the resentment of Voldy's followers toward muggle-borns. They believe the muggle-borns are taking their places at the schools that they think they have the right to attend. ::mind blown::

I'm not so sure JK wouldn't just say that the four houses are four sections at one school. And she would probably leave the rest a mystery for 5-10 years

Lol. It always seemed to me like every wizard kid was guaranteed a seat at Hogwarts.

Do you think Hogwarts reviews muggle candidates on the same field as wizard children?? Or do think once they admit all of the wizarding family children first, they dip into the muggle pool?

The fact that Crabbe & Goyle were accepted indicates that they might just accept all Wizard children first and then start accepting the top muggles.

I would assume you're an auto admit at whatever school your parents went to.

That means that in 2 generations, Hogwarts will be filled with only Weasleys.

Oh I like this theory. I wonder if it's possible to be an international wizard student and go to a school outside your home country. (If Hogwarts doesn't have any more muggle spaces, could you go to Beauxbatons??)

If you wait to dip into the muggle pool after admitting all wizarding family kids you're risking having muggle-borns with magical skills running around untrained. Could you imagine the havoc untrained wizards would create? There's no way the Ministry would allow that.

Ugh, turning down law school offers sucks. I know it sounds like humble brag whatever, but it makes me feel bad, especially since I would be happy to attend the school (in this case University of Washington) if I didn't have better options. I love Seattle and the PNW.

Wait, I thought muggles won't even know magic exists if they don't get their Hogwarts acceptance letters...

Yeah, but all that pent up magical ability causes all kinds of craziness.

SN: still really undecided on Fantastic Beasts

Anyone else feel like schools visits just make the final decision much harder?

I went into them with basically three schools to decide between, and after visits I'm now seriously considering four and there's a fifth school I really liked too. Stuff like "fit" and "vibes" really gets in the way of making a rational decision based on job outcomes I've found. I understand now why so many older posters say ASDs just serve to confuse people with fluff.

Though I also really get the dilemma each Bachelor/Bachelorette faces on the show now, so there's that. I feel so much more empathetic now.

LOL @ the Bachelor comment. But yes, I will probably have to go with job outcomes over my "vibe" of the school.

[ashrice13]

everyone has a movie that the whole world has seen and they never have. Mine is Harry Potter.

Brb, gonna go watch the movies/read the books real quick so this all makes sense to me.

Mine is Star Wars. And Star Trek. And The Matrix.

I would assume you're an auto admit at whatever school your parents went to.

but if your parents went to Hogwarts but then, say, immigrated to the US and now work at MACUSA... wouldn't you be at Ilvermorny?

I feel the opposite, vibe-wise. I've visited 2 schools so far, really liked both of them, but don't see myself at either. Great visit but eliminated.

You could prob go to either. School visits!!

With deposit deadlines looming, can anyone tell me what's the policy with putting down first seat deposit at two schools and deciding where to go by end of April and paying the second seat deposit only at one?

Read the terms of each deposit. Unless they're super strict, it's allowed.
