Potty Game: Five Words (Vol. XX)

Hogwarts is in Scotland, so I figured that she might have been the first of the four founders to suggest either the idea of the school or its location.

We have just come back from the final of a national secondary school team competition based on the works of the composers Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner, in which my daughter also took part. Originally there were 70 teams from all over the country, and only six made it to the final, which was held at the Academy of Music. (Each team consisted of five people, but in my daughter's team there were only four of them at the final as the fifth student became ill.)  It was a very difficult final, and my daughter's team finished in second place! They won a lot of tickets to concerts and operas, CD's and books on music as well as a weekend at a holiday resort, where their whole class can go. They will also get the opportunity to organize and conduct a radio programme on Hungary's classical music radio station.

I imagine that before Hogwarts was founded, kids had had to find private tutors or mentors if they wanted to learn magic. Famous witches like Rowena may have had several pupils, and it may have been how she had come to realize that there was demand for good education that one person alone could not satisfy.
