Nov 18, 2016 at 19:58 comment added Skooba @ibid I will take WoG any day. Esp. if there is context to why she doesn't answer.
Nov 18, 2016 at 19:17 comment added ibid Tempted to cite a WoG answer from Rowling where she deliberately doesn't answer the question.

Feb 18, 2016 at 18:31 comment added ThruGog When the books were written, five years of secondary education and two years of advanced levels were the main options for English students. The first five were compulsory, the latter two not and many left after five years. I assume Hogwarts is structured that way.
Feb 18, 2016 at 17:02 comment added Skooba @NKCampbell Squibs show us that school is not mandatory to live/work in wizarding society.
Feb 18, 2016 at 17:01 comment added Skooba @AnthonyGrist Dumbledore, I think would have at least mentioned it to Hagrid when he was expelled and then shoved it in the current Minister/wand breaking authority's face that Hagrid is transferring because ol' Albus knew Rubeus was innocent...
Feb 18, 2016 at 16:53 comment added NKCampbell There are a lot of assumptions made in the question (as Anthony sort of points out as well) - maybe better to take some of those assumptions into questions as well? (ie - is attendance at school mandatory to live / work in wizarding society)
Feb 18, 2016 at 16:48 comment added Anthony Grist Attending Hogwarts - or any Wizarding school - is not compulsory, so the Ministry isn't going to destroy your wand just because you've dropped out of school. I assume it only happens in the specific case of expulsion, though it doesn't really make a lot of sense: non-orphan expelled students could continue to be taught by their parents at home or transfer to another school (Durmstrang may not take such a grim view of the whole Chamber of Secrets thing). A transfer may have even been possible for Hagrid, had anybody been interested in making such an arrangement on his behalf.
