| | |  Would you send your child to Hogwarts?
iVillage has a cute new poll in which you can answer the following question: Would you send your child to Hogwarts?
Your options are:
-Yes. Harry Potter thrives in this specialized learning environment!
- No. Hogwarts students face death and destruction all term long.
Surprisingly, 86% of real-world moms have voted that yes, they would ship their kids off, despite the dangers. Also, the feature taps into "noted parenting and education experts' views on the Hogwarts curriculum, teaching faculty, etc. - with some surprising insights."
You can take the poll here.
Thanks to Laura from iVillage for letting us know! | |

OMG....is that a serious question?!?!? I mean of course I'd send my children to Hogwarts... Then I'd wind up being like incredibly jealous because they had the opportunity to go and I didn't...

Due to some grievous oversight (not having to do with, I’m sure, the fact that I’m from Canada or that Harry Potter is a fictional story) I missed my letter when I was eleven… I expect the owl got lost or perhaps was intercepted by dark forces.
Either way, when I have little ones and they turn eleven, you can bet darn well that they’re going to Hogwarts. It’s the finest wizarding school in the world. You’d be mad to send your kids somewhere else.

I dont have children yet... but if i did

the danger really depends on in which book do the kids actually attend Hogwarts.

I probably would, because what better education for witches and wizards is there? But I'd worry all term long because, seriously, that school was nothing but trouble, | |
