There are definitely fewer wizards than before, how many there were before... I've no idea.

If anybody wants to know more information, I uploaded the Pottermore information to PasteBin. It answers a few of the questions. Don't click if you don't want to uncover it yourself.

SPOILER LINK...

I don't think other than Pottermore there's much more in the books about it.

Harry found it hard to find, but that could have just been because he was new and in the dark, or it could actually be...

Okay, as simply as I can. The Hogwarts year groups can't be that big. That is because most subjects are taken with one other house. This means that half a year group is together. It would be very...

It doesn't matter at all if it was built for the whole of Europe or just Britain, my point is that it was built for many more students than it currently holds.


Not really, if you think about the...

Those laws are a human's explanation of the world around us. They come from observing and collecting what we know to create simple formulas: the magical world, the world of Harry Potter, has a...

I'd never considered the sorting before, that's a valuable point.

As I said, I think the years around Harry must have been particularly low on students. Although you are correct, the sorting is...

We know from canon there's a special prefect's bathroom and separate male and female bathrooms, most likely a set on each floor (although without baths/showers, so more just toilets, but bathrooms...

Because Arthur collects electrical and muggle things! We encounter very few wizards who have the slightest interest in muggles, let alone collecting muggle artefacts. He has no need to do it, but he...

If you've never had even the slightest education in physics then I doubt you'd have any idea how electricity works. I imagine he must have at least some working electrical items, if only a clock or...

Well Arthur's shed if full of electrical things, although objects like the car have obviously been enchanted, he also collects plugs and batteries and I assume they work. Taxi drivers came to pick...

I know Hogwarts is full with magic, I was trying to establish how much magic was needed: as the MoM and St. Mungo's, which have far more powerful magic in place, operate around very busy muggle...

No, Hermy clearly states they don't work because there's too much magic. Good theory, but canon contradicts :(

Firstly it is Goblet of Fire where it's mentioned, I believe.

Electrical items still work at the Weasley's even when there are 10s of wizards about. The places around St. Mungo's, the Ministry...

I imagine they slowly work their way up before they get to the 'Death Eater' status, we are told that Greyback is 'allowed' to wear their robes, so obviously there's quite a bit to get through before...

It is a daunting prospect, hence why they'd want to be with them until the last moment, no?

The places obviously physically exist and I imagine once the muggle is made fully aware of them or taken into them they'd see them for what they are. But then dementors can be felt but not seen my...

I imagine they would have CoMC lessons but they'd be more Grubbly-Plankesque: studying unicorns and generally more elegant creatures than blast ended skrewts. Perhaps a more passive approach,...

This has to be one of the biggest plot holes in the story. The castle is obviously massive, each subject has its own corridor (the Charms Corridor etc.) yet there's only one teacher ever named for...
