How Much Does it Cost to go to Hogwarts?

Hogwarts is believed to be the best wizarding school in England. The average tuition for a year at England’s five most prestigious boarding schools is about £25,800.

Students are also required to buy seven text books. According to this site an average textbook in the United Kingdom costs £46. Seven textbooks will see you fork over £322.

The total cost for the first year at Hogwarts comes out to £26,816 or US$42,752 at today’s exchange rates. This of course is the bare minimum and doesn’t consider the cost of pets, Quidditch robes and other incidentals that every student invariably faces. Nor does this analysis account for the premium paid for magical items.

1. Aren't most of the students there on scholarship?

I would imagine that the school has a substantial endowment.

On the other hand, they don't seem to pay their teachers very much. :(

2. If I ran Hogwarts I'd use that same 'touch-it-and-it-reproduces' spell that guards the vaults at

Gringotts. Put in a couple Galleons and just keep touching them!

3. I thought it was affiliated with or a part of

the Ministry of Magic. I suspect most of the students are on scholarship, though perhaps old wizarding families like the Malfoys may be paying some tuition.

6. You're thinking of Mattatuck Community College in Waterbury.

Where I once co-presented with Dr. Temple Grandin, as a matter of fact. :-)
