Parenting at its finest

As I was typing this, another coworker told me about something he saw yesterday. Two kids running from about 6ft back and slamming themselves into the cement wall of the exhibit hall. Two moms stood nearby talking and watching them while they did this. :roll:

If I had seen that, I think I would have stepped in and said, "I'm sorry, but platform nine-and-three-quarters is that way."

Hey, if you know the way to Hogwarts, you had better speak up!

Go to a magical place called Suess land and head west.

Can't you just use that floo stuff??

[EeyoresButterfly]

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.

Aww, yes you do. You are a fan (just like me). :D:

Of course, all these "rules" will go away in the next book:

"Harry potter meets the women who needs another castle!"
