When do you get a letter from Hogwarts?

Answer 1

It was said on Pottermore that letters are sent out to pupils turning eleven. This does not necessarily mean that they receive the letter on the date of their eleventh birthday: as Harry Potter's original letter was sent out a week before he turned eleven.

Answer 2

Well, have you ever noticed strange, magical things happening around you? Has, for instance, your Aunt Marge ever swelled up like a balloon after insulting your dead mother? If so then it is possible you are a witch/wizard and never realized it. You will receive a letter on your eleventh birthday. If you answered no, then you are probably a Muggle and will simply have to come to terms with this. Of course, if you are already older than eleven and no letter has come then there is your answer.

Answer 3

Harry finally received his Hogwarts letter on the 31st July 1991, his eleventh birthday.

The first letter arrived about a week and a half previously. At first the Dursleys moved his bedroom, then Vernon took to sleeping on the doormat. When the letters still arrived he nailed the door shut, but they appeared through other means so Vernon sealed the entire house.

On the Sunday, the letters came through the fireplace. Vernon then took them to a hotel for a night - where they showed up the next morning, before finally taking them to the hut.

Answer 4

First step : unfortunately you need to live in england, or at least a span for example often take a student from Ireland. (If you do not live in or near England, I advise you to find a school closer to your home. in fact, there are still many very good institutions in the world that teach magic.) Step 2 : You need to be 11 y o. (But in my opinion, this is not so important. You can simply transfer from home schooling.) Step 3 Simply wait... But here the tips and reasons why you don't get you letter still.

Reason 1: Sometimes when you were not born in Britain or Ireland, but now live in there, the list forgets to take you into account.

Reason 2: The Magic scroll that writes wizards names is sometimes very biased. So scroll doesn't believe you, like Neville Longbottom, his magical powers were very weak, and the scroll didn't add him a long time ( You can provide a list of unexplained cases that have happened to you as proof.)

Why your magic powers are not show up? the Answer because the muggles atmosphere is not good for wizards! : phones, computers, cars, smoke. It's why you more possibly will meet witch in country, not in big town.

And last reason why you not get your letter yet : maybe you are muggle. But in my opinion everyone can do magic. In my magic school we don't name muggle - not magicians. Just wizards what do not have uncovered abilities.
