Harry Potter How Does Laundry Get Done At Hogwarts (& 9 Other Questions About Magic In The Wizarding World)

The world of Harry Potter is one of the most loved and lucrative fantasy worlds of all time. The series was brilliantly thought out by J.K. Rowling, with the British writer carefully crafting this incredible magical world.

However, while the wizarding world was certainly well crafting by Rowling, there are still several questions that can be asked with regard to how wizards live their lives. Sometimes, Muggle inventions still appear to be better than magic in some respects.

10 How Does The Laundry Get Done?

Most of the questions surrounding the lives of wizards are routed in the mundane. This makes sense as, from a writing perspective, it doesn’t seem very interesting to go into much detail with how, in this case, wizards wash their clothes.

In Hogwarts, this could have been done either from some unknown spell or from the Houselves that work at the Wizarding School. In the wider wizarding world, though, either magic or a more ‘hands-on’ approach could be used.

9 What Did Muggle-Borns Tell Their Friends?

Muggle-Borns are one of the most interesting additions to the wizarding world by J.K. Rowling. Not only do they show that the magical gene can appear in non-magical families, but also introduces an element of bigotry into the magical world, with some wizards seeing Muggle-Borns as lesser.

One question that isn’t often asked, however, is what these students tell their friends in the Muggle world. Surely they would have had friends in Muggle primary school who would be curious as to why their friend had suddenly disappeared.

8 Why Quills and Ink?

One of the most memorable aspects of the Harry Potter world is how the students at Hogwarts, and wizards in general, use quills and ink in order to take notes, complete exams, and write their essays for respective classes.

However, quill and ink seem like an inefficient way to write, with students constantly having to dip their nib into ink. Surely a biro would be more efficient. While magic apparently interferes with electricity, there’s no evidence that it would stop a ballpoint pen working.

7 Owl Magic

This one isn’t strictly related to Hogwarts, but the magic behind owl post is one of the most perplexing and intriguing in the entire wizarding world. From the books and the movies, it appears as though owls magically, or instinctively, know where the recipient of their mail is located.

This raises important questions though, such as, why didn’t the Ministry of Magic use an owl to track down Sirius Black after he escaped from Azkaban? Hedwig could find Sirius Black easily after all.

6 Personal Hygiene

Showers and bathrooms, naturally, exist in Hogwarts, but there’s little explanation as to why. While baths would be a nice relaxation time for students during stressful times of study and exams, it would surely be more efficient to simply use magic to clean themselves most of the time.

On those cold nights or mornings in Hogwarts when one doesn’t want to shower for fear of the cold upon leaving its warm waters, surely magic would be preferable to a shower.

5 Wizard Dentists

Famously, Horace Slughorn and the rest of the Slugclub were very curious upon learning that Hermione’s parents were dentists. The wizards had no idea that this was a profession that exists in the Muggle world.

This raises the important question, what do wizards do about their teeth? Is there some kind of magic spell that performs a root canal or a filling?

4 Magical Animagus

The ability to become an Animagus is one of the best abilities in Harry Potter, with wizards being able to turn into certain animals at will. Notably, Sirius could become a dog, Professor McGonagall could become a cat, and Rita Skeeter could become a beetle.

What is interesting, however, is that there’s been no canon proof as to whether or not wizards can become magical creatures. In other words, could a wizard choose a phoenix as their Animagus form?

3 Wizard Paintings

The paintings and photographs in the wizarding world are famously dynamic, with the subjects being able to move and, in the case of paintings, even converse with real people. However, this raises some important questions. For instance, in the case of photographs, could a ‘wizarding film’ be developed that would allow for magical cinema?

In the case of paintings, how sentient are the subjects? Those in the painting can talk and so on, so are they considered alive? If so, what rights do they have? This still remains a mystery.

2 Wizarding Jobs

The wizarding world is vast and well created, with J.K. Rowling pouring so much care and effort into crafting this wonderful world. However, despite all of this crafting, it seems as though little in the form of magical jobs has been described.

Most of the work in the British wizarding society appears to center around either the Ministry of Magic or Hogwarts, though some magical folk do go on to care for magical creatures. Are there wizard cleaners, cooks, plumbers, or bakers?

1 What Do Witches And Wizards Do Before Hogwarts?

While fans know that witches and wizards start attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry at the age of 11, what those children do before they reach admission age is a mystery. In the Muggle world, children attend primary school (or elementary school in the US).

It is presumed that there is no wizarding primary school, so it isn’t clear as to what wizarding students do until they’re 11. Perhaps they just hang around the house until they turn 11.
