Does magic really make up for no access to technology?

Yep I'd go in a heartbeat.

And I did get a Hogwarts letter a few years ago Wink

DrFoxtrot · 10/02/2023 14:10

Yes, I'd go!

Allp · 10/02/2023 14:10

Yes I'd go in a heartbeat, I was always waiting for my letter to arrive! A lot of the magic does the same type of technology stuff but better apart from owl mail.

sevenbyseven · 10/02/2023 14:15

Definitely! Do you mean aged 47 though, or 11? Grin

Piscesmumma1978 · 10/02/2023 14:16

For the delicious food alone I'd go 😂

ModeWeasel · 10/02/2023 14:17

100%

LiverpoolMuse · 10/02/2023 14:17

I’d go, but I’d probably have to be an ancient staff member.

sevenbyseven · 10/02/2023 14:18

The lack of technology would be part of the appeal - meals without phones, looking things up in the library instead of on Google, houses instead of Facebook groups....!

TaraMock · 10/02/2023 14:18

Absolutely! I'd be gone like a shot 🪄🧙‍♀️

AppleKatie · 10/02/2023 14:19

Yes, where do I get my trunk? 😂

reddingweddy · 10/02/2023 14:25

Yes!

HufflepuffRavenclaw · 10/02/2023 14:33

Look at my username and hazard a guess.

DPotter · 10/02/2023 14:34

In a flash!

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 10/02/2023 14:35

Absolutely! But would I have to be in my late 30s?!

I think the lack of tech would be lovely. Writing letters home, getting owl post.

I think it's just the concept of boarding for full terms that would put me off a bit. Hogwarts could do with a few exeat weekends!

Scenekidfringe · 10/02/2023 14:37

See you all at 9 3/4 on September 1st 🧙‍♀️ Collecting Famous Witches and Wizard cards if anyone wants to arrange a swap session 😜__

ItsCalledAConversation · 10/02/2023 14:38

Totally. I have been waiting for this moment since 1997!

Kamia · 10/02/2023 14:44

No way the teachers are abusive, there is definite favouritism and if I get into slytherin I'm screwed.

Vebrithien · 10/02/2023 14:44

Yes, yes, a 1000 times yes!

I'd be a member of staff too, if given half the chance. I'm only a Chemistry teacher because there wasn't the option to take Potions as a PGCE...

BeautifulDayintheneighbourhood · 10/02/2023 14:47

Absolutely.

Antsinmypantsneedtodance · 10/02/2023 14:48

Considering the pupil (and staff) mortality rate I think I'd politely decline the offer.

Picklypickles · 10/02/2023 14:49

Probably not, I'm busy waiting around for Gandalf to show up on my doorstep with an adventure for me!

mayaknew · 10/02/2023 18:31

I honestly don't think I would now. Their methods of communication are totally shit ... They go into different dorms and can't communicate with each other at all.

And there is absolutely nothing other them quidditch to do for fun
