How Do Muggle Parents REACT to Finding Out Their Child is MAGICAL? - Harry Potter Theory

Welcome to Harry Potter Theory. Today, we’ll be discussing how ordinary Muggles react when they find out that their child is magical. The majority of Muggle-born witches and wizards do not discover that they are magical until they are invited to come study magic as a child. In the United Kingdom, this momentous occasion takes place the year of a child’s eleventh birthday by way of mail. Each young witch or wizard receives their letter of acceptance to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry sometime over the summer months before the start of term in the fall. In the case of Muggleborns, Hogwarts dispatches a member of staff to travel to the home of said muggle-born student so that the letter can be properly introduced and explained. These future students of Hogwarts have all been chosen by a magical system of admittance, which is exclusively operated by an ancient magical book and a quill, known as the Book of Admittance and the Quill of Acceptance.
