Re: Parenting at its finest
The Floo Network (which uses chimneys) does not normally connect to Hogwarts. Special permission was given in book 6 due to atacks on the students, as a safety precaution. You also cannot apparate or disapparate on Hogwarts grounds, and if Muggles approach they see a mouldy old ruin with a signage along the lines of "Danger, no trespassing". The best way to get there is via the Hogwarts Express. You can also apparate into Hogsmeade and walk, fly on a thestral (Dumbledore used them for longer trips), a broomstick, or a flying car, etc. Clearly, I have no life.

Furthermore, one must get special consent from the Ministry of Magic to connect a Muggle residence to the Floo Network.
It is worth noting that house elves can apparate to and from (and within) Hogwarts as their magic is different and not subject to the restrictions.
I have always wondered whether a mixed household (like the Grangers) can be connected to the network. Perhaps only if the magical member is of age or the homeowner.

I will be your guide for this magical journey into the movies. It's the perfect job for me, because I love movies! Is everybody ready? Great, because it's showtime. Ready when you are, CB!
